Dawn of Tyranny ALPHA
Download: http://whitelisted.comli.com/wp-content/uploads/Dawn%20of%20Tyranny%20ALPHA.w3x

==========================

10 players.
Combines elements of an AoS, Hero Arena, and an RPG.

==========================

Current features of the ALPHA version:
- Set items: give additional bonuses when all pieces are worn.
- Equipment system: only carry 1 armor, 2 weapons or shields, or 1 weapon and 1 shield, 1 helm, etc.
- Unique items: only 1 copy at a time may exist in the map.
- Vehicles: cannot move or attack with a driver. A driver may be a creep or your Hero.
- Casinos allow you to gamble gold for a chance to win even more.
- Randomly generated items: items sold by Armories (and soon, Marketplaces too) are randomly generated. Also, Armories will sell new items every 20 seconds.
- 9 Heroes who can each Hero can learn from 20 different spells. (In the ALPHA version, only 6 Heroes are available, and only 2 can learn from 20 different spells.)
- Choose where to allocate your Hero's Stat Points.

==========================

Bugs:
This is the ALPHA version, and was uploaded as-is and is mostly untested. The reason why I decided to upload an untested map is listed in the next section.
- Attack notifications display.
- Statue of Heroes cannot be seen without typing a cheat code.
- Armageddon's blizzard may not display.
- Twisters may not work.
- Enemy creeps may spawn within 1,000 yards of your base, with no friendly creeps to defend it.
- Multiple buildings of the same type may be created at the place I call "the shopping mall".
- More I may have forgotten.

==========================

This is the alpha version of my new project: Dawn of Tyranny (DoT).
I decided to release an alpha version to see if anyone is interesting in helping me out. I currently need a terrainer and a graphics artist to make the loading screen. If anyone is interested, please PM me or post in this thread. Extensive credits will be given:

- To make sure you get noticed, your name will go onto the Statue of Heroes in the middle of the map.
The Statue of Heroes is a giant unit acting as a doodad with the Statue model. It has abilities representing everyone who has greatly contributed to the map, along with their contribution.
This alpha version is full of bugs and whatnot so you will have to type "iseedeadpeople" to see the Statue of Heroes.

- Additionally, if you want, a custom set of items or a unique item will be created in your name e.g.; Username88's Blade.
Unique items are items that can only exist once in the map. Once it is bought, no one else can buy it. If it is sold, players will once again be able to purchase that item. Set items are just like the D2 set items: they grant your Hero additional bonuses when complete. In the alpha version, there is only 1 set item.

- If you've made the loading screen, you'll be able to write "made by username99" on it.

P.S. Terrain may seem like it would take a really long time, but the area to terrain is only about 65x130 or 130x65 depending on which way you look at it. This is because I then flip the terrain so that it becomes perfectly symmetrical.

==========================

I am currently working on the BETA version, and I am currently working on a complete overhaul of the Hero system which I think is really original and cool, but more on that later. I also have a bunch of features planned for future versions, like an item stacking system, an extended inventory, etc.

You shouldn't release a map, if there are that many bugs. Fix the bugs before you post it here, don't release a buggy map, or no one will want to play it. Fix the bugs then release it, always.

1. It's not really released.
2. It's an alpha version... Obviously there's going to be bugs. They are quite minor though. It's mostly unpolished.
3. I didn't "release" it so people could host it on battle.net and play it. I released it to give a general idea of my project and get help with it (terrainer, etc.).

Awesome map as always Light, :)
It's pretty cool, pretty hard by yourself, heh. Really requires teamwork.
The heroes are nice, I know which hero is my favorite (PANDA!) :D

Will there be defense and offense forces later on? So like your team computer can send forces to defend the base and also attack the enemy team like an AoS?
I think the buildings should have more health, especially the castle. Tower defense could vary, with like AoE/Magical towers towards the end, nearer to the castle.

Fun map, :thup: Good luck with it! If you need any ideas or anything I'd love to help!

I think I need a new name for the map.

Dawn of Tyranny sounds good and fits the story behind the map but isn't very descriptive.

+REP to anyone who helps me find good names. :p

Here's the story behind it:

King Blah Blah dies, and with no heir to the throne, the 2 most powerful lords in the city believe the crown belongs to them. They decide to wage war on each other for the crown. Each lord has hired half the Royal Army and legendary mercenaries (you + your 4 allies) to help them succeed in their quest for power.

Of course, it can be altered in any way. ;)

Here are some names I thought up (some may be already taken :( ):

- Mercenaries
- I don't know... lol
 

Ioannes

Oh man, I shot Marvin in the face.

Reminds me of soup.

Name suggestion. ^.^
>They decide to wage war on each other for the crown.
-Waging War for the Crown (WWftC)
-Crown War(s)

EDIT: Oh, are the two powerful lords corrupted and evil and mean and stuff? Like tyrants?
