'Creep Defense' Ideas

[Ragnar]

My first map is going to be rather simple. You select one of 6 heroes(could be 12), Mountain King, Arch Mage, Paladin, Blademaster, Far Seer or Tauren Chieftan. There are 10 waves of creeps, each wave progressively harder(obviously). Now, I need ideas to spice it up. Here is what I have(in mind) and what I'm thinking of:

1. At the end of each wave, you teleport to the top-left corner where there are 4 shops abd some fountains. The 4th shop, in the bottom right of the area, is always random. (Implemented)

2. At the end of wave 5(or before), gold appears all over the map.

3. To spice up idea 2, all heroes become invincible, and hordes of weak creeps run around the map, a bounty on their heads of course.

Any other ideas? Obviously, nothing too advanced.

Well, I wouldn't worry too much about that =] You can learn whatever you want to do eventually, you should try and push yourself.

As for suggestions, how about having a dialog box pop up in the begining for every player and a have vote for the difficulty? Scale the difficulty by making enemies spawn with a % of their total amount of HP. I.E. Hard = 100% HP, Medium = 75% and Easy = 50%.

Happy Mapping.

I'm completely new to this. How do I create a dialogue box?

Look to the left side of the screen... scan down under "User Submitted" and then you'll see "Dialog Boxes". I would read that and any other tutorials on topics you don't know about. (Also do this before you ask questions in the forums about them =p)

Check the Dialogue Boxes tutorial on the left hand side of this page <<<

Whoops I began typing this reply before you submitted your reply, Laika
