Custom Hero Line Wars - |Mod's Pick|

[Ranik]

Hey baka, I have played CHLW for a couple of weeks now, and i just simply love it!

Showoff: Last 14 times i have played i have gotten the highest score.. o.0

I love going 2v4 with my pal.... xD

 

[Prometheus]

Is 1.4 a legit version?
The one with bows, hammers and all recepies listed?

 

[baka-ranger]

yup

still kinda buggy... but havent had much time to work on fixing the major ones...

 

[Darkchaoself]

Great map 5/5, i dont really like HLw lition, so, and i love custom hero shizz, AWSOME MAP!!! and marine is unbalanced, should find a way to fix.

 

[Prometheus]

1.4 sucks
why can't you have 100% in something? or 50%?
there should be an option to have recepies but w/ no shops!

 

[baka-ranger]

100% in something? as in no bonus to the creep...? you can... just dont pick it... if you just hit start on the chooser without picking anything it will automatically be set to 100%.

that is to say, if you just start the game without picking anything it will be set to "normal" which is pretty easy already with a half decent build, so i dont really see the need for a 50% setting...

as for recipes without shops... well... not everyone is happy about the change... but its hard to keep everyone happy...

and v1.4b is out fyi
get it here
changelog is on the first post

great map

i think 1.4 (any of them so far) is amazing
haha
i have had some great time owning people
(got a great build but its not quite pro yet)
but i have a question
why make concentrate a melee only skill?
it could be well implimented in a ranged hero too
just a thought

 

[baka-ranger]

yes it could, however, since people already tend to choose ranged over melee heroes, its... lets say... an "incentive" to choose a melee hero.

 

[Jubosh]

Displace needs a fix

I like making caster builds in Custom Hero line wars and one of the great caster abilities that is never used is displace, the idea of it is great but the fact that it causes everything on the line to get effected can more often then not piss of your team since not everyone is a caster or magical damage , I would suggest keeping it effect the same but give it and Targetable AoE. Also AoE and range increase with level, this is just a idea but hopefully you'll look into it

On another note I noticed that 1.41 has some real lag issues that almost seem like they cuase the entire game to run slow, I'm running on a comp that can handle oblivion on full graphics and and a little concerned that i get lag on CHLW, being one of the people that know how to host on Bnet lag is unwanted by me and all playing with me, i'm not to upto speed with things as complex as your map so I'll let ya figure it out

 

[trainwreckx]

I love this game, however, the start seems to be very slowwwww. (after the skill selection, i mean) It's like im sending the barbarian dudes (10g) for 20 turns.

Also, there is a stage around the lvl 3 creep-sender where the creeps are much stronger are harder to kill that most heroes can handle. Additionally, the items available at the shops are either too weak, therefore useless, or too expensive preventing them from being purchased. This part of the game seems to be a shrine-kill-fest for both teams.

But the progressive random mode is fun

 

[Psiblade94122]

actualy i personaly think the items at the shop are too powerfull, by end game ill have bonus stats from items equal to 10-15x my normal stats... once i get my crown of +500 or so, my hero never seems to die, even on impossible mode (400% to all stats for creeps)

 

[Prometheus]

Multishot + Lifegain + Attack Speed Increase + Enemy Armor Decrease = Rape Still?

 

[baka-ranger]

On what difficulty...?

Impossible is actually 2x armour, 2x speed, 2.5x damage and 3x life.
Harder still is godlike which is the same but 70% experience rate.

By the end of tier 3 you should be able to buy items, which you do need for tier 4 and up, and also the avatars on tier 3. But thats provided you keep a decent income.

You should never have to kill with the shrine, if you have a decent build and a decent income. At the start potions are needed on higher settings, and sometimes the odd healing ward. Don't be afraid to use the stasis trap, as in my opinion, it is the best spell in the spell vault.
On about tier 2 vampiric potions are VERY helpful no matter what kind of hero your using, and still if your in trouble use stasis trap.
When you get to tier 3, you should be on the same tier as the creep you are receiving, a crown of kings and vampiric pot can hold you. If not then get a Ring of Immortality as well.
After that stasis traps + recipes should hold you. If your whole team is dead, you can Monster Lure, wait till its about to end then stasis trap, and that will be 30seconds costing 275mana compared to 500 mana for forked lightning, not to mention experience if you can kill them.
If you're heavily under leveled, wait till they mass you, and they will, and use dragon heart when they get close, stun/lure the lane that it doesn't go up and chase the dragon. You'll get plenty of levels.
For tier 2 you should be about level 20~
For tier 3 you should be about level 30~
For tier 4 you should be about level 40~ (but if you're not items will carry you)
For end game you should be level 51+ (i.e all your skills level 10)

Sorry for the long winded reply, but if you do things right, you shouldn't ever need to kill with the shrine except on end game tier.
