well for that 'combo'...

Fireball is a little bit hard to aim at human players...
on creeps its easy since they dont evade.

so i guess it's balanced out by that factor?
or maybe you think that the damage by the fireball is too high?

It is balanced. Haven't really tried on Human Players, but it should be easily dodgeable.

 

[13lade619]

me and my friends only tried out these heroes though:

Thief > it's late gaming capability will be enhanced when i implement the recipes
Dark One > seemed fine... balanced out.
DeadShot > strafe was too slow, i made it faster.
Avenger > Lotus was IMBA, nerfed it
Leviathan > slow ms will be increased, ok skills.
Paladin > slow ms will be increased, ok skills.
Warmonger > seems too powerful, will be nerfed
Graven > seems ok

bumping...

not currently working on NEW heroes,

but polishing the map with more gameplay features
and finishing some ITEM RECIPES.

 

[13lade619]

just tested my current stuff with a friend today, seemed fine.
i'd be fine-tuning some numbers to balance what imbalances we encountered.

average game time was about 45 minutes.
i'll increase XP gain so it'll be about 30 minutes.. just enough for a short enjoyable game.

and he said there was a definite improvement from the beta (current downloadable) version .
so keep your eyes out for the next one.

bumping?

hmm.. just played with a friend and encountered a rare bug..

something to do with my '-st' command. it malfunctioned somehow..
the game was constantly disselecting units and i couldnt buy from shops.

but it was fixed (ingame) by reusing the -st command a couple of times.

i will investigate soon..

Awesome game!!
I did have a few problems with it though:
1. When fighting, my hero kept moving from side to side. This was all well and good and I actually liked the idea of it until it trapped my hero behind a wall of destructibles (Indestructible destructibles). I could not move and had to restart.
2. 500 honour is A LOT. I played for around half an hour solo and got 25. Could you either:a) Make it easier to get honour
b) Make a quest telling you how to get honor
c) Make the winning condition require you to have less honor
Other than that, Awesome game!

Ehm, the over dramatic music in the cinematic made me look at it, but it looks like just a melee game?
tl;dr

it's not melee. its an arena.

b) Make a quest telling you how to get honor

How about an accuracy and avoidance system?? You know, (Your (Agi + Int) - Enemy (Agi + Int) = Chance to avoid damage).

 

[13lade619]

somebody just posted this on Hive:

ive tested all versions of your map and neither of them actually worked =/

can anybody confirm?
they work well for me.

 

[Joccaren]

work for me too. (Pre 1.24 versions anyway)

 

[ertaboy356b]

1.24 changed WE a lot.. You have to either recode your map for 1.24, or make 2 different maps..

precisely what i'm doing.
i have 2 versions, 1.24 and 1.23.

 

[xAnaMorphine]

What about Pirates, YARRRRRRR?

 

[13lade619]

bump... 4700+ views is a good indicator.. .

since the 1.24 situation is quite stable now, i'll be continuing the production of the map.
and also because i need to spend time off the internet.. due to my billz.. .

i have 2 new Int heroes prepared.. one of the finished and i just need to code spells for the other.
and i'll also be reverting some changes in the current version.
especially the casting time (yeah that was really stupid of me.. lol).

new version should be up in a week or so.

UPDATES:

Necromancer Skills:
>Death's Caress
>Madness
>Boned Armory
>Gravestone
>Deathstrike

Dark Mage Skills:
>Volatile Reaction
>Energy Flux
>Banish
> ?

....i'll check on that issue...

the last one wasnt 1.24b compatible... only 1.24a. sorry.

after a few HOURS of being MAD and desperately fixing...
the next new version should be up to speed and working with 1.24b!

 

[Zack1996]

Glad to hear you working on it again

Let's hope Blizzard doesn't change more JASS stuff in 1.24c.
