Battle of Blue Moon v1.18a

A town defense map where you pick a hero from a tavern and defend the townhall from waves of invading demons.

For every 2 players in the game, one of four lanes are randomly opened: north, south, east, and west.

some important notes for starters:
-Don't try to tank everything. Even for strength heroes this will be hard. Let the town's militia help you take damage.

-Potions have cooldown, and cost more money than food. Food is good for in between waves since it ends if you are attacked, but is cheaper and more effective than potions.

-Two heroes per lane, the game opens a lane for every 2 heroes and is balanced around two heroes per lane, but it's not impossible with odd numbers if your teammates are helpful.

-Share steel, one person in the lane should give his lanemate the steel(lumber) that he gets after each wave. This way you can afford militia upgrades for your lane sooner.

-Gang up on bosses, every 4 waves there is a boss. This guy has hp for each player so gang up on him after clearing your wave.

-and last but not least The game is balanced around Hard. Nightmare mode was added later and maybe be too difficult for even the most experienced town defenders. Start out on Normal or Hard for your first time.

I've been working on this map on-again-off-again since summer of '07. This forum has been my primary source of help during that time. I must have done at least 1000 searches here, so I thought you guys should have a crack at it first.

v1.19 is out!

Here are the update changes.

-New Hero "Master Engineer" added to the champions tavern
-New Hero "Black Knight" added to the champions tavern
-New Hero "Gorgon" added to the champions tavern

-Spike Trap (Ranger) has been replaced with Torrent of Arrows.

-Greataxe (Bloodhoof) cleave percent reduced

-Fanged Net (Jungle Stalker) damage more than doubled
-Fervor (Jungle Stalker) added damage effect but made the ability stack, adding another effect with each kill.
-Viper Sight (Jungle Stalker) reduced cooldown and mana cost.

-Frozen Fury (Spellsword) you can no longer interrupt casting, accidently burning the cooldown and having no effect.
-Shield (Spellsword) now blocks a set amount of damage and gives mana when you take damage.

-Increases frequency of special spawns in nightmare
-Demolishers (Wave 8) now do siege damage instead of normal damage.

-Fixed several tooltips
-Moved or Changed many animations and icons.




And to all of you who sent me email with comments and questions, thanks. I hope my answers were sufficient.

Like wise, if anyone else has a question about how I did an ability/mechanic a certain way I'll be happy to respond.

I'm going to take a break from mapping probably until Starcraft II comes out, so this is likely going to be the final version of Blue Moon. I might work on it some more in the future if I get some good ideas, but it's at a good stopping point for right now.

Enjoy the challenge, and keep that town hall safe!

I like it, really good "Defense", but don't like the Tooltips color (can be more prolix) and the terrain (It needs more work).

If i can rate this map... I believe is 8,50/10.


Congratz, :)

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though

    Heard Houston got hit pretty bad by storms last night. Hope all is well with TH.
