This is the first beta version of Icecrown Defence v1.5

By crazyfanatic

Newest version (v1.60) at:
http://www.epicwar.com/maps/132969/
(released: 05.05.10)

This map contains 18 heroes and over 100 items, combineable in recipes. It is an AOS map, and the story is about the two greatest fractoins - The Humans and The Undeads fighting for Icecrown.

Because of the little time and the too much work to be done for now i publish only the 1.5b version, that contains about 15% of the heroes, 50% of the items and 10% of the quests, that will be available in version 2.0 (upcomming release). I hope you like it.

Any help about error reports or bugs will be highly appreciated and anyone, who posts an argumented and well explained bug report will recieve a +rep. You can also email me about the bugs at [email protected]

This map is entirely created on world editor patch 1.21b, so it will run on every version of WC3.

Bugs found by now: (v1.52b)
none?


Screenshots coming soon!

FAQ:
1. There are some items that cant be found in the basic merchants (like Mask of Death). Why cant i find them?
Answer:
There are two secret merchants on the map. The first one, closer to the humans, is east of the second tower on the middle path. It can be recognised by the small green circle marking its position. The second one, closer to the undeads, is north of the big mountain in the western part of the map and east of the useless hill (v1.5b) or the small forest (v1.51b), marked by a green spot again.
2. How can i travel on water?
Answer:
By ship.
3. The terrain seems a little too flat and simple, there are almost no secrets and there are at least 5 absolutely useless location, some of them with no way to get in. Why is that?
Answer:
The map (including the terrain) is UNFINISHED, and this is just a beta version. For the greater version i am planning to make an AoS map combined with an RPG (maybe ORPG if i add an optional save-load system). In the present status of the map there are some places, that are going to be used for quests or 1v1 PVP fights, there will be a secret trade district, containing items bought by another type of money (not gold or lumber and unobtainable by cheats). The reason i published the v1.5(x)b is to see the comments and see if there is any sence of doing all that planned work.

Downloading will report any feedback soon.
I was pretty fun i liked the way the units did good damage so making tanking a lot harder. Over all i think it was good.
Heroes - 8/10 Decent ideas
Terrain - 5/10 Kinda plain i think you need a bit of help
Layout - 4/10 Normal AoS layout so it was low score for me
Spells - 7/10 Triggered :thup:

Over all GOOD :thup:

It will be cool if the terrain was better, also you could try to have some ideas to change it from Normal AOS

The reason I posted this thread is more to see other people's oppinion about the map, so if you have any suggestions to make it better please post them... And actualy I would like to see any comments about do you think it will be a good idea to combine an AoS map with a RPG or an ORPG.
