Hey all! Just thought I would spread the word on the map I just (more-or-less) completed. After a "year" (more like a couple of months, on-and-off) of work, I present to you...
Battlemage by Broderick
Current Version: 0.24 Beta
Choose from six different classes, each of which has access to 3 combat styles and 12 abilities. Once the match begins, it's a 6 on 6 brawl to see which team can destroy the opponent's Archmage first. The focus of this map is really on team strategy and adaptability, with little to no emphasis on building up individual players.
Map features:
- Numerous JASS enhanced custom spells.
- No gold! That's right. There is no farming and no leveling. The action starts right when the match starts.
- Quick combat. You don't really have the time to sit around and regenerate mana (and there is no Fountain), so we have taken care of that for you. Standard mana regen can bring you from nothing to full in pretty short order, keeping the action flowing.
- The team is greater than the sum of the individuals. In Battlemage, we don't worry about who killed who, or what particular build is "the best" for your class. The only stat we keep in this game is which team wins.
- Multiple objectives. While Battlemage may lack the idiosyncrasies of getting to create your own hero, it makes up for this in tactical complexity. Cap multiple shrines to give your team advantages, destroy enemy NPCs to give your team a bonus at sudden death, or just bum rush the enemy Archmage.
If you would like to notify me about any bugs, exploits, imbalances, or complaints, please send an email to [email protected]
You are also free to leave any comments or suggestions here (of course).
Happy Battling!

Changelog:
Update to v0.24 beta (8-27-2008)
- Various cosmetic changes and typo fixes.
- Added new tutorial at map start-up so players are familiar with objectives.
- Minor balance issues (pretty much just made the Shaman Fire and Earth style spells more expensive to match with the amount of devastation they can cause at Sudden Death).
