What makes a good custom map?
+ the main reason that DotA is fun: Hero Kills
+ the problem with DotA is that it can take as long as 15 minutes for first blood and an average game of DotA takes about 45 minutes on easy mode
+ Assassins is fun for the same reason, but the reason is also the purpose of the game and the length of the game can be adjusted by the host
Introducing Assassins:
+ each player controls 1 of 8 assassins, each has a unique ult
+ 3rd person camera similar to WoW
+ number of kills can be adjusted by typing "-kills XX"
+ double damage buff given to losing players to keep the game even
+ each player can choose 6 of 30 different spells with detailed tooltips
+ unique spell learning system where better abilities cost more
+ all keyboard hotkeys correspond with their position on the screen
+ basic AI allows for offline play
+ website (GetAssassins.com) contains latest game version, gameplay, forum tabs, etc.
Changelogs
- version 1.0a
+ camera angle and distance changed to alleviate nausea
+ command -zoom 1/2/3 added to allow users to choose their camera settings
+ command -zoomall 1/2/3 added for the host to set and lock the camera settings for all players
+ acquisition range of non-AI assassins changed to 100 (same as attack range) to prevent auto-attacking
+ limited the -kills range to 10-40
- version 1.1
+ added a hero tavern so there are 4 heroes to choose from
+ leaving players' heroes are now removed from the game and their multi-board row is grayed out
- version 1.2
+ moved the spells from the third spell book to the second spell book
+ added 9 passive abilities to the third spell book
- version 1.3
+ added a unique ability (ultimate) for each hero
+ added a -ms command to prompt your hero's movement speed
+ spell books no longer disappear when all of the spells are researched (the unused research icons go away instead)
+ improved the AI (now they can use all the spells they research)
+ general balancing of items and spells
+ changed the respawn duration from (2 x lvl) to (5 + lvl)
