I'm lazy, so I just copy-pasted from Wc3c.
As I said in the other thread, I cannot make a preview. At the site where I'm hosted, there's a logo contest going on though, and it's going pretty good.
What? - AoS map genre.
When? - Now, duh.
How? - JASS
Who? - Vestras (Me)
New features.
Heroes
The Desert Ranger and Behemoth Rider, which were the two heroes the Griffen and Dusk played, is currently being overwrited by other, more fun and complex hero, so please, for your own sake, don't play those.
Since there's new terrain, new heroes and people didn't think Intro Cinematics were needed, I have quit those.
In version 0.36 there's four new heroes though, that I will explain a little about now.
I am always open for hero ideas, as long as they follow the map's balance.
The Special Spawning System
Actually, the SSS (Special Spawning System) isn't that complex. What it does, is that it, every two spawns, creates special units. This makes the map, in my opinion, more exciting. There will be spawned one extra special melee unit, and one extra special range unit. This makes 6 units spawn.
Items
I tried to make the items as balanced as I could, but there is of course always room for more balance. If you think one items is just waaay to imbalanced, please tell me.

More rationalisation
As Dusk (and maybe Griffen too, can't remember) said in the other thread, the lanes were too small, and the creeps clumped together. This aren't happening in the new version, because the lanes about five times as big.
Now, if you wanted to change lane in the earlier versions, you had to walk all the way back to your base and start from there. That's a no-go in the new version.
Now there's Way Gates, and alooot of escape paths you can take to get back to another base.
I suggest you to pick the middle lane if you want action, since that is the lane with a Way Gate, so that the creeps fast gets there. Else, there's the other lanes

A Kingdom of Apocalypse
Since the last thread was a failure, due to me, I pm'ed Dusk to ask if I could create a new thread. Well, obviusly, as you can see, the answer was yes.As I said in the other thread, I cannot make a preview. At the site where I'm hosted, there's a logo contest going on though, and it's going pretty good.
