[Psycho14]

ummm... i just played 2.7 (dled it before 2.8 came up).
my hero didn't respawn =/ i was around lvl 12 and after like 5 mins still no respawn... my hero was Elementalist, if it matters
dunno if u fixed in 2.8 or not

 

[Naman]

for some reason when we are playing the newer versions people dont revive... but i (host) do... i now only host 1.19 cuz thats the newest one i have that doesnt have this (i havent tried 1.2-1.27)

 

[Vengeancekael]

hmm weird, I'll look into it.
Edit: Updated, see if it's fixed now.

 

[MogulKahn]

Sounds interesting. I will test it !

 

[Vengeancekael]

Very well.

 

[MogulKahn]

I tested.
1.When I saw loading screen, I thought it was a girl....
2.I cant see portrait of the heroes!
3.Lot of bad icons for the spells.
4.Spell arent so balanced!
5.Phoenix always can fly!Angle even have spell for that.xD
6.Some spells doesnt fit that hero!
I think thats all!
P.S. Priestess can be Blood Elf..... -_-"

 

[Vengeancekael]

5.Phoenix always can fly!Angle even have spell for that.xD

So...?

1.When I saw loading screen, I thought it was a girl....

Lol then look at it better next time.

2.I cant see portrait of the heroes!

This is an issue I'm working on.

3.Lot of bad icons for the spells.

I'll.....see what I can do.

6.Some spells doesnt fit that hero!

I think the spells fit the heroes very well :/

P.S. Priestess can be Blood Elf..... -_-"

She doesn't have to be blood elf, but in Wrath of kael, she is cursed by the blood elves.

 

[mckill2009]

this map is very good but the dissadvantage of this is you need a very good graphic card for this, unlike the defense of uthragon which runs very smooth

i give it 4/5 though

 

[Vengeancekael]

Thank you and yes, I'm still working on it to optimize it.

Well, there are a few bugs and imblances I found when testing it with my brother:

• portraits won't show (i know you know this but i felt like putting it here)
• captain a little imbalanced imo he can easily take on a hero because of his high damage and hps. the only way to kill him is to bring him to a large group of units which isn't always possible if a melee hero is ahead of the group
• when kael spawns he is invulnerable and just kills every body
• imo it's a little op that the phoenix can fly
• maybe add an abilty with a cooldown to boost the defese of the defenders i.e. the horn in the Defense of Uthragon
• we died on easy ( probably because of the kael bug)

Maybe try adding more special events to spice up the action.
3/5 and +rep cus i can

 

[Vengeancekael]

maybe add an abilty with a cooldown to boost the defese of the defenders i.e. the horn in the Defense of Uthragon

That was in the previous versions, but eventually removed due to balance issues.
Kael will be fixed, the captain will not however be balanced in any way. He is supposed to be a challenge to the defenders.
The portraits can sadly not be fixed.
Thanks for testing!
edit: Updated 4.2b, kael is no longer invulnerable.

 

[Herohatcher]

Nice map,
I like to move and spell enemys
But Terrain is too boring for one who tells others they shouldnt use random cliffs

3.5/5 -> 4/5

 

[Vengeancekael]

The only way to make a really good looking and realistic looking castle would be to use blizzard cliffs in this case, so really it's not random.
Also why didn't you rate it 4/5?

 

[Herohatcher]

sry i missed button

 

[-Kobas-]

I was lazy to create 10 pages long wall of text but this should give you small hint, check pictures by numbers.
___________________________________________________________

90% of all other triggers can be optimized as well.
Try to link actions for same events.

Also that multiboard icon is terrible.
Just store heroes into hashtables.

call SaveInteger (udg_hash, HERO1_ID, X1, HERO1_ID)
call SaveInteger (udg_hash, HERO1_ID, X2, 1)
call SaveStr (udg_hash, HERO1_ID, X3, "icon path with 2 // instead 1")

then when you pick hero just:

set udg_id = LoadInteger(udg_hash, GetUnitTypeId( GetSpellTargetUnit() ) , X1)
set udg_player = GetOwningPlayer( GetTriggerUnit() )
set udg_hero[Player_number] = CreateUnit( udg_player , id , X coordinate, Y coordinate, ANGLE )

set udg_temp_string = LoadStr ( udg_hash, GetUnitTypeId( udg_hero[Player_number] ), X3 )

then just set multiboard icon into udg_temp_string

with hashtables you are limitless

I used jass above to make it more beautiful and readable.

X1 is integer and can be anything, X2 can be X1 + 1 I usually go from 0/1/2...
___________________________________________________________

Terrain is ok, but I suggest more things that can be DESTROYED.
Walls can be improved (pictures).
___________________________________________________________

Hero pick show some broken code when you click on some heroes -> |c7c8as69 TEXT.

Well that's it more or less.

I liked gameplay in general, maybe some better spell effects, GIANT is horrible really ^_^

 

[Vengeancekael]

Oh you want me to put the walls that way as well? ;_; Fine

 

[-Kobas-]

Oh I missed last 3 images, uploaded, check them
Well you can make that, it look better, also I suggest different texture for tiles as well

 

[akqpars]

Castle is so much better in this map than the previous. But middle and right bottom regen and mage special events dont work(their tips gone too).
As well as the champions ultimate doesnt heal. But i am getting suspicious that you may have built another map rather than updating this(again).

 

[Vengeancekael]

Lol no I haven't made a newer version of this map.
I might update this again.

 

[Vengeancekael]

4.5 out now! Check it out, lots of changes.

 

[-Kobas-]

I expect some efficiency improvement as well
Will test it tonight.

 

[Vengeancekael]

Trigger efficiency? LOLNO.

 

[-Kobas-]

• Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area) owned by Player 1 (Red)) and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • ((Picked unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • Set Heroes[1] = (Picked unit)
      • Else - Actions
• // This 5 times o.O

->

• Set Heroes[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = (Target unit of ability being cast)

More will come

EDIT:

Hero revive is poor.
This script will replace your current triggers related to hero revive:

[wolfikun]

good map very detailed the terrain suits the game but the thing is it's just like another ordinary castle defense and right now there are lots of ordinary castle defense type of game you should put more BAZINGA something like that

 

[MeMySeLf AnD I]

Quite good 5/5

 

[David]

Epic map I loved it !!Custom models magics and I loved the Templar good work...

 

[toanlove371]

Thank you! ^^b

 

[Acutesharpness]

GAWD this map is so challenging, I tried 1 player nightmare, took me 3 tries to know the game. Defend flags, kill Keal, cheers

 

[Binsu]

This keep getting better, kael. Nice job! Played 4.6 and its quite good. Again, nice terrain for a castle. Some suggestion, maybe add some horses here in-game that is available for mounting. When hero is mounted on the unit, it will increase its attack speed but disabled attack. More better if it shows the hero while mounted. And maybe Optional quests? That's all, +REP and good luck with this!

 

[deepstrasz]

Seriously? Three maps almost alike?

 

[Vengeancekael]

The map's been updated after 3 years.
Hoping for some feedback from you guys. (Doesn't matter if it's horribly negative, I still want to hear it)

 

[Meatmuffin]

Completely accidentally came across this and opened credits, then saw me, was utterly surprised

Thanks for featuring my spell Bouncing Energy!

 

[Vengeancekael]

Haha, no problem, thanks for making it.

 

[WhiteFang]

Will try this,I have actually played some of your maps before I joined the Hive.Can't remember the exact name,outlanders or something like

 

[Vengeancekael]

Ah yes, a classic of mine. "Outlanders, the War" was my first playable map that was ever finished. Perhaps I should update that one as well.
Have fun!

 

[Sirmarkis29]

Ey Vengeancekael hii your map is super fun!
Your map I passed it a year ago in the normal difucultad or something like that it became quite easy and short.
I'll pass your map on the biggest difficulty so once I pass I give you your deserved score...
Keep updating when you have time.
