That's weird. Fog of war should be re-enabled when selection end, no matter the numbers the players
Or maybe you just noticed it while selection was still going on ?

Reward: Tome of Knowledge (+100) (see item list).
Description: You are teleported in a small arena where you'll fight your image to death. Sadly, your clone has +100 to all stats.

Your attack won't deal much damage, but you can kill your clone using spells. If your hero doesn't have the best tools to tacle your clone on its own, make good use of Permanent Immolation of Cloak of Flames or Call of nature of Amulet of the Wild (see item list) to defeat them.

The "Xnd Hero Siege" project
Welcome to the Xnd Hero Siege project's page. This is a project initialized in 2019 by Ricola3D, an addicted player of Sogat's X Hero Siege who was terribly desapointed by Sogat retirement and the fact that X Hero Siege had been not evolving for years. The project is based on the X Hero Siege 3.33 map, the latest stable version released by Sogat. I started it alone, but want it to be a collaborative projet : I am looking for contributors, so if you have ideas or development skills, feel free to join !
Concept
The spirit is to keep the essence of version 3.33, but fix the bugs, improve the balance and improve specific points. I also want to add some fun, but with always keeping the original spirit. A regular player of X Hero Siege 3.33 should be able to master this map quickly and without effort ! Therefore this is not a copy of Sogat's work. Aside annoying bugs fixed, there are major improvements, mainly to enhance the balance, teamplay or fun ! For v1.0, there are 2 new heroes, auras have more range and apply on wards, caster and summoners remain efficient in late game, etc...Description

Version 1.51 (2024-12-09)
Major changes:
Bug Fixes changes:
Minor changes:
TODO:
- Continuing the healing update. The following abilities now work with healing increase/decrease (totally not forgot that those heroes had heal too)
- Ghost's Death Coil
- Knight's Holy Light
- Ghost's Death Coil
- Items:
- Nature staff, available at the Apothecary shop. Small bonus stats, but omnivamp and healing increase auras and healing passive.
- Icy Staff, available at the artificery. Small bonus stats, but spell vamp, slow aura and powerful AoE active ability.
- Nature staff, available at the Apothecary shop. Small bonus stats, but omnivamp and healing increase auras and healing passive.
Bug Fixes changes:
- Life steal, spell vamp and omnivamp do work, this time
Minor changes:
TODO:
- Some models are not visible for SD graphics users. This doesn't impact playing other than visual (units still have hitbox, can be targeted etc.) I believe the only solution would be stop using those models. Currently, those models have been reported:
- Armored dryad (lvl 20)
- Knight
- Runemaster
- Creeps get stuck in their spawning lanes, especially at higher extreme difficulty and game level 3 & 4. Should be reduced on this patch but can still happen.
- Music don't always launch when intended, and sometimes launch at random timing.
- Dying at the same time of killing Arthas can make your hero vanish from the game.
- Lag spikes and game slowdown on Banehallow fight.
- Sometimes, Arthas knockbacks himself instead of his target.
- Improving bosses
- Banehallow fight:
- Adding defense mechanisms added around the obelisks. It would be time for Banehallow to learn a bit about startegy and key points.
- Reworking auras (slow aura can be really annoying) and make destroying obelisk more rewarding.
- Adding defense mechanisms added around the obelisks. It would be time for Banehallow to learn a bit about startegy and key points.
- Continue improving Arthas.
- Give Spirit Beast (Shield of Invincibility event) and Frost Infernal (Key of the Three Moons event) bosses spells to make them more interesting than just stats check.
- Banehallow fight:
- Improving themes and design coherence overall
- Revamp some heroes/bosses themes/visuals to avoid duplicates. (Having Arthas fighting himself, or a pitlord destroying Magtheridon and his spawns might be very philosophical but probably should be avoided)
- Making sure every spell is coherent with hero theme. (Looking at you, crypt lord. "Shaking the ground" shouldn't make meteor fall from the sky)
- Trying as much as possible to avoid duplicate abilities (Except a few passive like critical strike) between heroes, so they can truly feel unique.
- Adding more heroes, in priority in classes with less heroes (summoners, tanks, healers)
- Adding customs spells to playable heroes
Version 1.50 (2024-12-06)
Major changes:
Bug Fixes changes:
Minor changes:
TODO:
- Removed terrain flashbang introduced by Blizzard's change of texture. Icecrown Glacier's ice was a bit too much, so I put back some snow, and improved terraining here and there to make paths in snow clearer.
- Extreme attacks:
- Added an event triggering on invaders kills. Invaders are units from extreme attacks: dragons, assassins, hydras and murlocs. Murloc's slaves will not count towards this event, so letting murlocs spawn more units will not make it faster.
- Made the Hydra & Murloc spawn bigger, reducing risk of them getting stuck or overflowing in nearby alleys. Removed a wall section to make their exist easier. Be careful, this means it will be way harder to defend a choke point and make things harder.
- Added a 4th wave of hydra attack.
- Items:
- New shop. Items have been dispatched by themes.
Shops have been reorganized (all items are now sorted by price). Might take a bit to get used to it, but it will make more sense.- Weaponry contains items focused on attacks and physical damage.
- Armory contains items focused on defense.
- Artificery contains items focused on spells and magic damage.
- Jewelry contains items bringing various stats and utilitaries.
- Apothecary contains items focus on potions and healing.
- Library contains scrolls, books and tomes. (Some would say it's the nerd shop, but don't listen to them)
- Workshop contains everything concerning buildings.
- Weaponry contains items focused on attacks and physical damage.
- Workshop now available at lanes shop as well
- New unique items:
- Master Blade: item can be found in the Blademaster boss area after his death.
- Demoninc Hand: item can be found in the Keeper of Flames area after his death.
- Skeleton Armor: item can be found in Lord Marrowgar area after his death.
- Admiral Cutlass: item can be found in the harbour area after the Admiral death. (This item was already there as a little easter egg, but received a new passive and is now officially here.)
- Master Blade: item can be found in the Blademaster boss area after his death.
- New legendary items:
- Dragon Staff, available in Artificery or as a reward to the Invaders Slayer event.
- Sorcerer's Cuirass, available in Armory. Bonus Intelligence, spell crit chance, shield scaling on Intelligence.
- Bandage, available in Apothecary shop. Bonus stats, passive healing increase, active healing ability.
- Dragon Staff, available in Artificery or as a reward to the Invaders Slayer event.
- New early items:
- Bloody Ring, available in Jewelry shop. Allows a cd reset after taking a set amount of damage.
- Booze Barrel, available in Apothecary shop. Enhances healing and mana potions.
- Nicely shaped rock, available in Weaponry. Terrible attack item, but can transform later in something worth selling.
- Bloody Ring, available in Jewelry shop. Allows a cd reset after taking a set amount of damage.
- New shop. Items have been dispatched by themes.
- Stone statue within 600 range of Castle will not be destroyed at the start of final wave. 600 Range is almost the entire snow area around the castle, exluding the far corners.
This change aims to give a way for players to delay the attack on castle on solo mode, when you can't always take full aggro. - Healing is being revamp overall
- Expanding healing modifiers to most heals. Regeneration buff (Life regen auras or Myrmidon's Realm of Souls for example) do not count as heals.
- Life steal (regen on attack damage) now counts has self healing and can be increased / decreased by healing modifiers.
- Introducing spell vamp (regen on spell damage) and omni vamp (both life steal and spell vamp), counting as self healing too.
- Life steal, omnivamp and spell vamp are additive. (Having two items with same passive like Mask of Death and Lightning Sword will add them, but copies of a same item won't)
- Healing increase / decrease are multiplicative (having two 20% increase will result in 44% increase, and not 40%)
- The following healing abilities have been reworked to properly work with healing modifiers:
- Druid of the Claw's Rejuvenation
- Paladin's Healing Wave
- Moon Priestess's Rejuvenation
- Ranger's Heal
- Potion of Greater Healing
- Druid of the Claw's Rejuvenation
- The following abilities can't use healing modifiers (yet ?):
- Female Archmage's Drain Life & Mana
- Storm Brewmaster's Drain Life & Mana
- Crypt Lord's Locust Swarm
- Warlock's Gargoyle Swarm
- Female Archmage's Drain Life & Mana
Bug Fixes changes:
- Accept button in selection stopped playing hide and seek, and can now be seen again.
- Arthas, "Lich King", but also "King of Unintended Effects "...
- While Arthas execute mechanic is cool, it had problem in its... execution (get it ?)
- Arthas's execute in phase 2 doesn't steal the hero items to give them to the summoned soul, but copy them instead.

- While Arthas execute mechanic is cool, it had problem in its... execution (get it ?)
- Fixed a bug where trees/corpses/sheeps would not spawn on farming event in dual mode when the hero needing them was the seconday hero.
- Hero Image's Sun adept can no longer use healing hand.
- Healing Hand now display the correct buff.
- Blademaster's mirror images will not be the biggest source of gold and lumber anymore. Killing the Blademaster still give 300 000 golds and 300 lumber. Mirror images will only give 2000 golds and 1 lumber.
- Fixed a bug where lanes sprit towers and necropolis would not become vulnerable if command -ow was used after level 2
- Fixed an issue where a hydra would die during an event due to damage over time effect, which would spawn new units abled to attack while everything else is paused.
- Furbolg and Greater demon spells are now correctly in qwerty keybind.
- Typos, spelling and such...
- Fixed minion upgrade's message. Now correctly says "unlocked".

- Fixed an issue where items charges were not deducted from secondary hero, allowing more uses.
- Fixed Lord Marrowgar animation during final wave cinematic
- Fixed cases where -revive command wasn't working or deleting hero (I guess he was getting revived in an other world ?).
- Fixed an issue where assassins would not always attack.
- Fixed an issue in dual mode where swapping hero while being knockbacked can result in having both heroes on the battlefield. Swapping is now disable during knockback.
- Fixed Warlock archimonde form that was giving divine armor. The form now gives 50-200 armor to compensate a bit in early game.
Minor changes:
- Increased late game bosses scaling per player. (After testing with more players, it seems bosses were a bit undertuned when fighting against 4 or more heroes.)
- Banehallow
- Slow aura modified from -75% attack rate and movement rate to -75% attack rate and healing received.
- Banehallow gains a 3 secs period of invulnerability when changing phase.
- Slow aura modified from -75% attack rate and movement rate to -75% attack rate and healing received.

- Gift from the Mountain God mana cost reduced from 400-800 to 250-500. No can cast level 1 with natural stats only, and level 2 with only 1 tome of stats (or Hero Image event).
- Wave kills & extreme attacks (dragons/assassins/hydra/murlocs) kills will not count towards the Creeps slayer event anymore.
- Items:
- Now displaying player name when upgrading castle & towers.
- Castle upgrade now slightly increase castle and towers HP regen. With 50 upgrades, the castle now regenerate at great speed.
- Portable demon gate now gives 2 charges when bought. Price is more fair in solo hero, and compensate bug fix in dual.
- Trying to blink out of muradin event will now damage you in addition to tp you back. That's what you deserve for trying to avoid the event.
- Quality of Life:
- Command -extreme is now available during hero selection.
- Commands -ow and -cw can now be followed by a number X (both "-cwX" and "-cw X" will work) to respectively open or close X lanes (Trying to open more than 8 waves will result in 8 opened lanes. Trying to close more than 7 lanes will result in leaving only way 1 opened).
- Now tracking number of kills during farming event and not lumber. Converting you lumber into gold will not make you drop at the bottom of leaderbord anymore.
- Reduced corpses duration from 88 to 30 secs, reducing lag spikes.
TODO:

Bug Fixes changes:
Minor changes:
TODO:
- Nothing there for this patch
Bug Fixes changes:
- Fixed a bug where Creep Slayer Event et Wave Kill Event bosses wouldn't get their abilities
- Creeps heroes don't get more stats than intended at game level 1 anymore
- Fixed a bug where Assassins were not spawning around a player's hero.
- Fixed a bug in player name display, where name was truncated before the #.
- Fixed Stone Giant tooltip during selection.
- Fixed an unwanted interaction where banehallow spells would trigger damage return effects (like Retribution passive from Shield of invincibility)
- Fixed a bug where phase 2 Arthas AoE indicators could stay on floor after his death. Cleaning crew should always come before cinematic now.
- Removed a printing debug message on banehallow lightning attack. Oupsie.
Minor changes:
- Banehallow's Unholy Aura HP regen nerfed from 2% Max HP to 0.05% Max HPs.
(Since the addition of boss spells, players dps has dropped because of AoE dodging. In higher difficulties, the regen could be a bit too much and drag the fight way too long. )
TODO:
- Some models are not visible for SD graphics users. This doesn't impact playing other than visual (units still have hitbox, can be targeted etc.) I believe the only solution would be stop using those models, or reimport them. Currently, those models have been reported:
- All reported models have been replaced.
- Creeps can be stucked on their spawn areas on higher game level.
- Very rarely, the creep/wave kills milestones can trigger multiple times for a single player, giving much more ressource than intended. Unsure why that happens, still under investigation.
- Improving bosses
- Banehallow fight: Adding defense mechanisms added around the obelisks. It would be time for Banehallow to learn a bit about startegy and key points.
- Improving Demon Hunter boss (His spell is better than dreadlord's, but feel a bit way less interesting than blademaster's or admiral's)
- Continue improving Arthas.
- Give Spirit Beast (Shield of Invincibility event) and Frost Infernal (Key of the Three Moons event) bosses spells to make them more intersting than just stats check.
- Improving themes and design coherence overall
- Revamp some heroes/bosses themes/visuals to avoid duplicates. (Having Arthas fighting himself, or a pitlord destroying Magtheridon and his spawns might be very philosophical but probably should be avoided)

Minor changes:
TODO:

Ring of light will damage everything it touches. - Phase 2 (Triggers at 60% HP):
Rain of lightning will strike the ground on heroes position and random locations in the arena.
Creates one additional rings of light.
Adds one rotating beam of light. - Phase 3 (Triggers at 30% HP):
Creates one additional rings of light.
- Phase 1:
- Arthas changes. More will probably follow
(While arthas big attack felt good visually, and its execute mechanic could be dangerous sometimes, overall it seems Arthas was weaker than previous bosses and lacked tools to put heroes at low hp)- Added channeled AoE with huge damage and knockback for phase 1 & 2. Triggers when Arthas lose a % of its HPs.
- Added AoE ability in phase 2.
- Increasing big attack damage
- Adding voicelines (from WoW) in phase 2.

- 2nd Captain model change from Demon Hunter to Keepr of Flames.
TODO:
- Some models are not visible for SD graphics users. This doesn't impact playing other than visual (units still have hitbox, can be targeted etc.) I believe the only solution would be stop using those models, or reimport them. Currently, those models have been reported:
- All reported models have been replaced.
- Improving bosses
- Banehallow fight: Adding defense mechanisms added around the obelisks. It would be time for Banehallow to learn a bit about startegy and key points.
- Improving Demon Hunter boss (His spell is better than dreadlord's, but feel a bit way less interesting than blademaster's or admiral's)
- Continue improving Arthas.
- Improving themes and design coherence overall
- Revamp some heroes/bosses themes/visuals to avoid duplicates. (Having Arthas fighting himself, or a pitlord destroying Magtheridon and his spawns might be very philosophical but probably should be avoided)
- Making sure every spell is coherent with hero theme. Looking at you, crypt lord. "Shaking the ground" shouldn't make meteor fall from the sky
- Trying as much as possible to avoid duplicate abilities (Except a few passive like critical strike) between heroes, so they can truly feel unique.
- Adding more heroes, in priority in classes with less heroes (summoners, tanks, healers)
- Adding customs spells to playable heroes

Well, again a far bigger patch than expected.
I guess I couldn't help myself.
Version 1.50
Major changes:
Bug Fixes changes:
Minor changes:
TODO:
I tried to test everything, but there are probably things I didn't think about
PS: Will update credits later, but I'm not forgetting you guys, don't worry
I guess I couldn't help myself.
Version 1.50
Major changes:
- Removed terrain flashbang introduced by Blizzard's change of texture. Icecrown Glacier's ice was a bit too much, so I put back some snow, and improved terraining here and there to make paths in snow clearer.
- Extreme attacks:
- Added an event triggering on invaders kills. Invaders are units from extreme attacks: dragons, assassins, hydras and murlocs. Murloc's slaves will not count towards this event, so letting murlocs spawn more units will not make it faster.
- Made the Hydra & Murloc spawn bigger, reducing risk of them getting stuck or overflowing in nearby alleys. Removed a wall section to make their exist easier. Be careful, this means it will be way harder to defend a choke point and make things harder.
- Added a 4th wave of hydra attack.
- Added an event triggering on invaders kills. Invaders are units from extreme attacks: dragons, assassins, hydras and murlocs. Murloc's slaves will not count towards this event, so letting murlocs spawn more units will not make it faster.
- Items:
- New shop. Items have been dispatched by themes.
Shops have been reorganized (all items are now sorted by price). Might take a bit to get used to it, but it will make more sense.- Weaponry contains items focused on attacks and physical damage.
- Armory contains items focused on defense.
- Artificery contains items focused on spells and magic damage.
- Jewelry contains items bringing various stats and utilitaries.
- Apothecary contains items focus on potions and healing.
- Library contains scrolls, books and tomes. (Some would say it's the nerd shop, but don't listen to them)
- Workshop contains everything concerning buildings.
- Weaponry contains items focused on attacks and physical damage.
- Workshop now available at lanes shop as well
- New unique items:
- Master Blade: item can be found in the Blademaster boss area after his death.
- Demoninc Hand: item can be found in the Keeper of Flames area after his death.
- Skeleton Armor: item can be found in Lord Marrowgar area after his death.
- Admiral Cutlass: item can be found in the harbour area after the Admiral death. (This item was already there as a little easter egg, but received a new passive and is now officially here.)
- Master Blade: item can be found in the Blademaster boss area after his death.
- New legendary items:
- Dragon Staff, available in Artificery or as a reward to the Invaders Slayer event.
- Sorcerer's Cuirass, available in Armory. Bonus Intelligence, spell crit chance, shield scaling on Intelligence.
- Bandage, available in Apothecary shop. Bonus stats, passive healing increase, active healing ability.
- Dragon Staff, available in Artificery or as a reward to the Invaders Slayer event.
- New early items:
- Bloody Ring, available in Jewelry shop. Allows a cd reset after taking a set amount of damage.
- Booze Barrel, available in Apothecary shop. Enhances healing and mana potions.
- Nicely shaped rock, available in Weaponry. Terrible attack item, but can transform later in something worth selling.
- Bloody Ring, available in Jewelry shop. Allows a cd reset after taking a set amount of damage.
- New shop. Items have been dispatched by themes.
- Stone statue within 600 range of Castle will not be destroyed at the start of final wave. 600 Range is almost the entire snow area around the castle, exluding the far corners.
This change aims to give a way for players to delay the attack on castle on solo mode, when you can't always take full aggro. - Healing is being revamp overall
- Expanding healing modifiers to most heals. Regeneration buff (Life regen auras or Myrmidon's Realm of Souls for example) do not count as heals.
- Life steal (regen on attack damage) now counts has self healing and can be increased / decreased by healing modifiers.
- Introducing spell vamp (regen on spell damage) and omni vamp (both life steal and spell vamp), counting as self healing too.
This is only prep for future items/skills, not used yet.
- Life steal, omnivamp and spell vamp are additive. (Having two items with same passive like Mask of Death and Lightning Sword will add them, but copies of a same item won't)
- Healing increase / decrease are multiplicative (having two 20% increase will result in 44% increase, and not 40%)
- The following healing abilities have been reworked to properly work with healing modifiers:
- Druid of the Claw's Rejuvenation
- Paladin's Healing Wave
- Moon Priestess's Rejuvenation
- Ranger's Heal
- Potion of Greater Healing
- Druid of the Claw's Rejuvenation
- The following abilities can't use healing modifiers (yet ?):
- Female Archmage's Drain Life & Mana
- Storm Brewmaster's Drain Life & Mana
- Crypt Lord's Locust Swarm
- Warlock's Gargoyle Swarm
- Female Archmage's Drain Life & Mana
- Expanding healing modifiers to most heals. Regeneration buff (Life regen auras or Myrmidon's Realm of Souls for example) do not count as heals.
Bug Fixes changes:

- Fixed Druid of the claw tooltip for entangling root: now display level 4
- Removed the "permanent" wording from items giving bonus stats as it might lead player to think they had same effects as tomes.
- Fixed minion upgrade's message. Now correctly says "unlocked".
- Fixed a sneaky strat with blink and dual hero mode during Muradin event.
- Fixed an issue where items charges were not deducted from secondary hero, allowing more uses.
- Fixed Lord Marrowgar animation during final wave cinematic
- Fixed cases where -revive command wasn't working or deleting hero (I guess he was getting revived in an other world ?).
- Fixed an issue where assassins would not always attack.
- Fixed an issue in dual mode where swapping hero while being knockbacked can result in having both heroes on the battlefield. Swapping is now disable during knockback.
- Fixed Warlock archimonde form that was giving divine armor. The form now gives 50-200 armor to compensate a bit in early game.
Minor changes:
- Increased late game bosses scaling per player. (After testing with more players, it seems bosses were a bit undertuned when fighting against 4 or more heroes.)
- Banehallow
- Slow aura modified from -75% attack rate and movement rate to -75% attack rate and healing received.
- Banehallow gains a 3 secs period of invulnerability when changing phase.
- Slow aura modified from -75% attack rate and movement rate to -75% attack rate and healing received.
- Magtheridon changes:
- Buffed strength gain per target on his boss spell.
- Now gives 300 000 golds and 300 lumber like other bosses when (permanently) killed.
- Spawns HPs and attack damage now scale with difficulty.
- Buffed strength gain per target on his boss spell.
- Gift from the Mountain God mana cost reduced from 400-800 to 250-500. No can cast level 1 with natural stats only, and level 2 with only 1 tome of stats (or Hero Image event).
- Wave kills & extreme attacks (dragons/assassins/hydra/murlocs) kills will not count towards the Creeps slayer event anymore.
- Items:
- Now displaying player name when upgrading castle & towers.
- Castle upgrade now slightly increase castle and towers HP regen. With 50 upgrades, the castle now regenerate at great speed.
- Portable demon gate now gives 2 charges when bought. Price is more fair in solo hero, and compensate bug fix in dual.
- Now displaying player name when upgrading castle & towers.
- Trying to blink out of muradin event will now damage you in addition to tp you back. That's what you deserve for trying to avoid the event.
- Quality of Life:
- Command -extreme is now available during hero selection.
- Commands -ow and -cw can now be followed by a number X (both "-cwX" and "-cw X" will work) to respectively open or close X lanes (Trying to open more than 8 waves will result in 8 opened lanes. Trying to close more than 7 lanes will result in leaving only way 1 opened).
- Now tracking number of kills during farming event and not lumber. Converting you lumber into gold will not make you drop at the bottom of leaderbord anymore.
- Reduced corpses duration from 88 to 30 secs, reducing lag spikes.
- Command -extreme is now available during hero selection.
TODO:
- Some models are not visible for SD graphics users. This doesn't impact playing other than visual (units still have hitbox, can be targeted etc.) I believe the only solution would be stop using those models. Currently, those models have been reported:
- Armored dryad (lvl 20)
- Knight
- Runemaster
- Armored dryad (lvl 20)
- Creeps get stuck in their spawning lanes, especially at higher extreme difficulty and game level 3 & 4. Should be reduced on this patch but can still happen.
- Music don't always launch when intended, and sometimes launch at random timing.
- Dying at the same time of killing Arthas can make your hero vanish from the game.
- Lag spikes and game slowdown on Banehallow fight.
- Sometimes, Arthas knockbacks himself instead of his target.
- Improving bosses
- Banehallow fight:
- Adding defense mechanisms added around the obelisks. It would be time for Banehallow to learn a bit about startegy and key points.
- Reworking auras (slow aura can be really annoying) and make destroying obelisk more rewarding.
- Adding defense mechanisms added around the obelisks. It would be time for Banehallow to learn a bit about startegy and key points.
- Continue improving Arthas.
- Give Spirit Beast (Shield of Invincibility event) and Frost Infernal (Key of the Three Moons event) bosses spells to make them more interesting than just stats check.
- Banehallow fight:
- Improving themes and design coherence overall
- Revamp some heroes/bosses themes/visuals to avoid duplicates. (Having Arthas fighting himself, or a pitlord destroying Magtheridon and his spawns might be very philosophical but probably should be avoided)
- Making sure every spell is coherent with hero theme. (Looking at you, crypt lord. "Shaking the ground" shouldn't make meteor fall from the sky)
- Trying as much as possible to avoid duplicate abilities (Except a few passive like critical strike) between heroes, so they can truly feel unique.
- Revamp some heroes/bosses themes/visuals to avoid duplicates. (Having Arthas fighting himself, or a pitlord destroying Magtheridon and his spawns might be very philosophical but probably should be avoided)
- Adding more heroes, in priority in classes with less heroes (summoners, tanks, healers)
- Adding customs spells to playable heroes
I tried to test everything, but there are probably things I didn't think about
PS: Will update credits later, but I'm not forgetting you guys, don't worry

Damn. I'll try to help you, but I need some more informations.
First, which version did you try ? I'm guessing 1.51, but making sure
Did you try older version of the map and getting same issue ?
When you say the map doesn't work, what do you mean ?
Some screen shots / a video would greatly help. In case of a crash, your last replay (C:\Users\<your name>\Documents\Warcraft III\Replay\LastReplay.w3g) would help too.
If you can't send those in pm, you can attach them to an email and send it to [email protected].
I hope we'll make it work.

- Can you see the map / start a game ?
- Is it crashing (in loading / in game) ?
- Can you launch the map but are unable to play because nothing is happening ?

I looked into this a bit more.
I got a 1.31 war3 and indeed, I can't find the map.
It seems the map requires reforged now (probably using some functions introduced in 1.32 or later), and can't be used with older versions (1.31 and before).
I don't know exactly when the shift happened, as even my older versions (v1.42, before I took the project over) are not visible in war3 1.31 client. I'll update the description on this thread to specify that reforged is needed.
I'm afraid I won't be able to make version compatible with older versions, it would probably require to scrap a lot of things and maintaining 2 versions would be too much troubles.
