Custom Hero Line Wars - |Mod's Pick|

Reaction score
107
Hey guys this is a hero line war map where you can build your own hero!
It's mildly team based as it's harder to solo on later levels...
Anyway, many thanks to AceHart, as I couldn't have got it done the way I wanted it without him.
So hope you guys like it. :D
Enough of me enjoy :)

Map Description/Aim:
+ Build your own custom hero to stop enemy creep from reaching your end zone, all the while summoning creep (from the your respective town hall in the middle) to the other side to reach the opposing end zone. First team to get 200 creep to the enemies end zone wins!
+ Income, income, income. every 20 seconds you will receive income depending on how much creep you summon and what kind of creep you summon.
i.e the more you summon, the more money you get, the more you can summon or better creep next income!
+ In a tight squeeze? about to die? use your spell vault (at the back of your lane) to save yourself and others from that pesky 30 second revival time. and yes! the shrine spells do keep up with the creep, so it doesn't become useless late game!

Map Features:
+ Don't have a full house? don't wanna be red? don't have to be! if there's no red player, settings are chosen by the next player, even if there's an empty slot inbetween!
+ Choose from 72 different heroes and over 90 (91 to be exact) abilities to build your hero YOUR way.
+ Team play twist. team play is encouraged as creep get A LOT stronger making soloing difficult, thus try to have different builds between heroes.
+ Repick! don't like the way you built your hero? so rebuild it!
+ Creep to ability balance, removes the need for tomes so that heroes don't get too uber so that the game is unfinishable.
+ 5 tiers of creep. a normal game should finish on tier 4, but if the other team is too good? tier 5 (end game creep) should change that! uber creep but still balanced enough to take down with enough team work.
+ Chance stealers! losing chances to leaks early game? steal those chances back!
+ Difficulty is fully customisable on 4 different levels, for 4 different modifiers: armour, speed, damage and life
+ If you don't want to pick your modifiers, settings can be randomed OR can be progressively randomed. ie every 5 income rounds modifiers are re-randomed.
+ Impossible difficulty is a real test of team work and hero building skill only for the truly experienced, otherwise its gonna be a short game.
+ Impossible to easy for you? Try godlike difficulty!
+ 19 recipe items to help your hero last!

And of course report any bugs that you find. comments suggestions are welcome too :rolleyes:

I downloaded now, but, as I stioll have a week of school, I have to goto school now :(

I will test sometime after school, and come back with some thoughts tonight.

Just remember it will take some time for your thread to get some people interested in your map, who want to help/comment.

My thread must have been around for 3 months (Including the one b4 the crash) and had very few replys. Though, after that long wait, I have finally got 3 really good beta testers from TH, each of whom helped out a lot.

Be patient, young padawon!

It's actually a pretty good map, never played a hero line map before. :D
I'd give it a 4/5. Great job!

Well maybe I was just being stupid :p I don't know, but in your map I couldn't really find the attacks of the units you can choose from at the beginning. (Though I downloaded it somewhere else. Could it be a different version?) But I liked the style. :)

Well most of the time when you choose a unit you get to know what attacks they have first, but your map was different in this way.
I can't tell you what to improve though since its not my real type of map. :eek:
Its good so, and I recommend people to play it. :D

I will just say something.....

I dont like your Hero Line Version, its very crappy, because of to strong shrine, no commandos or just books, no exp book, layout dont look nice, some spells is to imba and some sucks like hell, try make it balanced, it make no sence for how many heroes there are when you can choose your own spells....

I hope you will fix all that in your new version, good luck with that.


I will give 4/10 point to that.

Your version is not fun, all can choose same spells, its not good, why do you make lots of heroes when you just need 6, 2 int, 2 str, 2 agi, just 1 meele and 1 range, it is very bad. I still prefere Lition, I didn't like Lition for 3 mounths ago, now its very cool =)

I think your map will be better when all shines are weaker and all heroes got spells when you choose them and Balance the spells!!!

Ty =) It would be nice when you make that.
