One hundred and twenty heroes? Isn't that a bit... Excessive?

One hundred and twenty heroes? Isn't that a bit... Excessive?

Well you can just give any hero 3 random pre-made blizzard spells, but the question is will all 150 heroes be unique with custom spells.

 

[Varine]

Are eighty of these heroes going to be from the other ones?

Well, you also have to take into account the super secret hero that's in the corner, too, with the ever-powerful money-drain and insta-kill spells.

 

[Slapshot136]

are there even 480 pre-made blizzard spells? i think there are only like a hundred or so spells that are actually usable as a hero spell lol

 

[Psiblade94122]

its not hard to convert a unit ability to a hero ability tho... unlike unit to hero, for skills its done by checking a simple box XD

 

[Blackveiled]

Guys, he hasnt even made the heroes yet obviously, this is said to be released in Summer. Lolz

That's why we used future tense.

 

[thewrongvine]

um... heroes go to level 100? isn't that a bit high? i mean clicking over and over. its gonna be like rank 1 fireball: 15 damage and units have 200 health. but, who knows how its gonna be. all we can do is wait... wait and die. lol

 

[Blackveiled]

Theres probably going to be a health upgrade.

No its not excessive!!! At least not if you can do it right....

The thing with having 100 levels and getting the balance for it is that you CAN have a level 1 fireball do 200 damage. Think about it.......in normal footmen how long does it take to get to something like level 40? If the level 30 fireball does 6k damage it will be balanced, because you'd have to be level 90-100 to get it, which will take an extremely long time to get to. And by that time your gonna need 6k damage to fight highly upgraded units at end game.

its not hard to convert a unit ability to a hero ability tho... unlike unit to hero, for skills its done by checking a simple box XD

Well yea, if the ability has like 2 or 3 levels. When your talking about, say a summoning spell, you have to create and edit 30 seperate units. Not only that you gotta customize each spell's 30 levels. Trust me when your doing that 4 times for each hero, AND when there are THAT many heroes, its anything but easy. Heroes like beastmaster were a real bitch :banghead:

Guys, he hasnt even made the heroes yet obviously, this is said to be released in Summer. Lolz

Actually 1/3 of the heroes are finished (Started working on the map in august), but with the triggers, tiers and shops out of the way i expect it to be done by the date given.

I_RULE_YOU, please do not post 3 times in a row, a.k.a triple-posting. Double-posting is bad enough

The "Edit" button screams out in pain when you do this.

120 heros... pff yeah like thats ever gonna happend, and all unique?... lal.. sure... k... mkay... ... . .... . ..........

i wish you good luck to spend your next 5 years infront of WE
i wish you good luck to make all heros unique
i wish you would realise thats not possible^^

 

[Sil3nt]

120 heroes..yeh maybe.. unique? Highly doubt it.
30 levels each ability ??!!? If theyre all unique as you say, thats going to be a damn not of triggering.

 

[linamus]

Yea... Good luck unitil you realise you took too much. Much players are coming and saying: "I will make a super unique map!" but man, wheres any demo to show us you gonna really handle it. If you're coming with cosmic idea, give us some proof

But what if it WERE possible? Would it not be one of the greatest maps of all time? All of the heroes and their animations, spells, and levels are all written out already, so making them unique isn't a problem. 5 years? The map is about halfway done.

As for proof, your just gonna have to wait until i can release a demo of some sort

 

[thewrongvine]

um guys... isnt it realize?

 

[Varine]

um guys... isnt it realize?

In most English-speaking countries in Europe they only use Z's when it starts the word. So either way works.

I'm failing to see why everyone's bashing him about wanting to have way too many heroes. I was never aware that because a lot of 'new' people tend to get ambitious then drop ideas, it applies to everyone.

Co0ments? All feedback is appreciated.
