First off, this is my first map after a very long time.
I took serveral months programming it, Modeling effects and units and also thinking about unique stuff to feature. The Idea is based off of one of my previous maps and hence this should be a remake up to a certain degree.

FAQ:

What exactly do you do in this Map?
- Well, you choose your hero from the tavern right at the start of the game and teleport yourself into the arena, where neutral creeps and other players roam. I designed this game to lay emphasis on the heroes themselves. Customize your stats the way you think would be the best build and duel eachother.

Is there an objective in this game?
- Not yet. Though, I am not thinking about making one. Since this game should focus on PvP. This game ends when the last one leaves or one feels sick of being PWNED by other players. However, this game features a fun Battle Royal feature that should keep you playing ;)

Will there be any more content coming up with this game?
- Yes. I've been planning on making more stuff, mostly Heroes. But, I will be also considering changes and Ideas. So, if you have an Idea that you think should be in here, let me know.

User Contribution:

Nice. I would love a good arena game to PvP with friends. Could you give us a summary of your heroes though? Right now I have no idea if this is a WIP, or if it's playable but has very little heroes, or if its playable and has lots of content and you're just developing it a little furthur...

so info regarding that would be nice. Otherwise I hope this becomes a really good map :).

Very nice :D. I'm definitely trying this out when I can. All the heroes are complete? :) GJ on that, most of them have very interesting abilities that aren't simple copy pasta. Will give you feedback once I get a chance to play your map with a few friends.

Do you have AI? If you don't, I would really suggest thinking about getting some. AI dramatically boosts the potential play time of your map.

Once I have a few Heroes done with everything (the 4th ability of all those heroes are missing...), I'll make some abilities for the Neutral Monsters and a simple AI =P

GREAT ! I'm looking foward on your comments =)

EDIT: BTW, I am thinking about making all the Icons Custom as well. If you got any suggestions, please let me know ^^

since I'm too lazy to dl the map, I'll just post some hero idea:

Name: Arcane Elemental
Model:
character.gif

Main Attribute: Intelligence
Role: Anti-mage
Abilities:

Magic Rope (active, instant)
icons_5869_btn.jpg

Releases 3 magic ropes around the caster that will track and snatch 3 nearby enemy heroes, draining their mana and dragging them towards the caster.

Cooldown - 15 seconds

Level 1 - Drains 10% of max mana and transfers it to caster, 450 AOE.
Level 2 - Drains 13% of max mana and transfers it to caster, 475 AOE.
Level 3 - Drains 16% of max mana and transfers it to caster, 500 AOE.
Level 4 - Drains 20% of max mana and transfers it to caster, 525 AOE.

Note:
This is like a instant meat hook, just it launches 3 of them that will automatically track nearby enemy heroes. It is homing, so it will always catch the hero if he is in range and not magic immune.

Energy Pulse (can be toggled on/off)
icons_7153_btn.jpg

When activated, the hero will release a nova every second, dealing damage to nearby enemy units, but also damaging the caster. If a nearby enemy unit has less mana than the caster, the ability will also prevent him from casting spells.

AOE - 450

Level 1 - Deals 10 + 1x intelligence per pulse.
Level 2 - Deals 15 + 1x intelligence per pulse.
Level 3 - Deals 20 + 1x intelligence per pulse.
Level 4 - Deals 25 + 1x intelligence per pulse.

Note:
It checks for mana by percentage, not by value.

Ion Skin (passive)
skill-2.gif

When you take magic damage, you will absorb percent of damage taken, store it for up to 8 seconds and deal 250 AOE splash damage + stored magic damage on next attack. Stacks.

Level 1 - Absorbs 15% of damage.
Level 2 - Absorbs 20% of damage.
Level 3 - Absorbs 25% of damage.
Level 4 - Absorbs 30% of damage.

How it works?
Let's say you've been struck by a 300 dmg nuke and level of this ability is 4. You will only take 210 dmg (or less if your heroes have default magic resistance). You will store 90 dmg for up to 8 seconds. If you attack during this time, you will deal normal damage + 90 in a 250 AOE. Note that it stacks and the 8 seconds count resets every time.

Arcane Sphere (active, point target)
icons_2167_btn.jpg

Summons a magical sphere of energy at target location. Units in it will take less damage from physical, but more damage from magic attacks.

Level 1 - +-20% damage, lasts 10 seconds.
Level 2 - +-30% damage, lasts 13 seconds.
Level 3 - +-40% damage, lasts 16 seconds.


EDIT: made changes to 2nd ability and ulti

@Dinowc: Very nice hero :). Interesting spells. However, I would change the second spell slightly, lessening the constant mana drain and instead adding constant mana damage inflicted on the caster. It would synergise nicely with the third ability.

I also don't see how his ultimate combines with any of his other abilities......maybe that should be changed too...

I'll make all his abilities, but a different Passive... Suggestions?

How about a simple magic damage relfection instead of a buildup? Unfortunately his third ability synergises really really well with his first and second....so it will be hard to think of an alternative.

Well, I don't know if I mind it just yet. It is true that similar / duplicate abilities are annoying at best, but if you really can't get anything else, then use that for now.

Kay. I'll start that Hero when I'm done with the other.

Expect an update with a new Hero, "Death's Advocate" and some minor glitch/bug fixes.

EDIT: Uploaded a new Version of my Map with the New Hero.
Updated the First post with his abilities =)

Played the old map (without the new hero) and I have some feedback. Here it is in point form:

Note: I played solo, meaning I only fought against creeps. You should take that into account when reading my statements.

1) The hero tooltips (in the tavern) need to be fixed. Seriously, I didn't know the abilities of the hero I was picking. For example, the tavern said: Train Blade Mistress: Learns Blink, Fan of Knives.....Veangence.

2) The hero starting zone with the tavern seems a little odd with no south and east walls. Try and block those off with trees / doodads / cliffs / walls. Whatever seems appropriate.

3) I noticed a large empty mid region that is unused. Any idea what's that for?

4) I played the collosus...and here's my feedback for him. In the beginning he seems too weak and in the end too strong (against creeps anyway). Also, his abilities all have downsides. :( Why? They're supposed to be abilities, hence they make him stronger. They're not supposed to offset extra damage with extra damage taken....:S Or do all your heroes have offsetted abilities? If this is the case, then I guess it's ok, because it's balanced anywho.

5) The terrain needs a little work. It works for now, but it isn't very fancy or good looking.

6) I found the lack of items understandable but dissapointing. Items allow a huge range of customization, that unfortunately you don't have because of your attribute system. Might I suggest altering that slightly? Maybe use the up and down arrow keys or something to change attributes?

7) The beginning text message " This is Moridin's attribute profile" or something like that. I think it would be better if it said, "On the top right, you can see your attribute profile." Right now, I didn't know what it was talking about until I saw the multiboard on the top right...

-------------------
Anyway, criticism aside, I think that this could definitely become a really nice arena. The hero abilities that I've seen are pretty original and quite interesting, which is the major thing you need to get right in this kind of map, so GJ. :)
