I was playing single player and I added 3 comps to help me and it turns out they do all the microing while you can build stuff You should make gold harder to get because towards the end there was nothing for me to spend it on at all.

> when their builder died, they kept trying to use mine...

This is, supposedly, a cooperative map...

> added 3 comps to help me ... microing

You don't need any additional comps for that.

1.1

Changelog:

Summoning upgrades have been greatly simplified.
It's all in the research, the rest is automatic.
So, basically, just click and forget and everything improves just fine.
With any luck, someone might actually use one.

Acolytes come in three tiers, following your Necropolis.
Higher cost at higher levels, only tier 2 acolytes may build tier 2 structures.

Dark Minions have been limited in number.
They are still free on "lesser".

Massing one (particular) unit-type might just work slightly less greatly.

Necromancers / Banshees / whatever casters won't autocast anymore unless you want them too.
Necros still have "Raise Dead" on auto, obviously.
However, if you turn it off, it will stay off.

Creeps will, uhm, "grow" marginally faster.

Less Creeps on multi.
I clearly underestimated single players, and overestimated team players.

Any and all jumping, sliding or otherwise moving around icons have been fixed.
I guess...

Frost Wyrms will need to actually research their slowing Freezing Breath.

There's an anouncement on victory.
Probably.

The techtree was already just fine


Map download in post #1.

did you see mine?

About replays:

Yes, I do watch any and all I can get.
Doesn't matter how badly you lost.

And, yes, chat messages are part of the replay.
So, yes, whoever is watching the replay can read them.
It's, actually, a good way of telling something right when it happens.

lol k and i got another one that stopped at 7## something lol i was close but i couldnt get any thing other than summons and skeltons...how come buildings say they make stuff but they dont? all they have is sacrifice

 

[AceHart]

Sacrifice an Acolyte.
Grab the nearest Acolyte, right-click on, for example, the nearest Crypt,
wait a bit and, there it is, a Crypt Fiend.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...now i know...well i could of beaten it by now tho heres another replay

 

[Benny]

haha it took us a try or two to get a hang of it. We found it quite difficult and the longest we could last with about 5 tries was just over 14 minutes. However, we found it quite fun. Starts getting pretty frenetic past 10 minutes and we enjoyed it.. we also tried it with 3 people but that was so difficult.. I think 2 people is optimal. Overall though it was a blast, good job AceHart! See attached for replay. Not a win, but yeah.. we tried

 

[Rad]

You should balance it for 3 people.. theres the same amount of funds units structures etc but theres more spawns or something... microing wouldnt help at all as they overwhelm you immediatly

 

[AceHart]

I clearly underestimated single players, and overestimated team players.


Single player:
Every 5 seconds, one Creep spawns.

Two players adds:
20% chance that there will be one additional Creep.

Three players adds:
13% chance that there will be one additional Creep.

Four players adds:
10% chance that there will be one additional Creep.


So, yes, with three players, if you're really unlucky, there's three Creeps on every spawn...

Well, it was worse before


I guess I'll just have the one additional one (10% or so) with two or more players.

Did you put 3x or 4x scale creep in there ?

Creep I can see and say OMFG CREEEEEP! And get all my men on it, try to beat its ass down?

I like dat. Panic is good.

Maybe big big penguin, like RTD. Everyone <3 big big penguin...

....OMFG BIG PENGUIN!

 

[AceHart]

> How many times did you test it single player?

Too often...

Should have seen the first version. "Swarms" describes it best

When did I win last time?
Don't remember...

> Did you put 3x or 4x scale creep in there?

I'm thinking about it.
Currently not though, no.

> Everyone <3 big big penguin...

Not me.



> I can't get past like a certain point...

That certain point would be some couple minutes after your stopped producing troops.
The Creeps don't stop.

And remember, if your Necropolis (or Black Citadel by then) falls on the last few seconds,
it's still a defeat.

Troops, troops, troops.

Bigger, better and more.

Personally, I sorta like it when I lose.
Says to me it's worth a retry

 

[MeRcChRiS]

hey you should have heros!! like with some cool custom abilities! and umm stuff...and have a cool skin for it etc.

Typo?

I noticed that in the trigger

Hints Start
    Events
        Time - Elapsed game time is 5.00 seconds
    Conditions
    Actions
        Quest - Display to (All players) the Hint message: |cff00ccffAdditiona...

That there was a typo? in the text tip

|cff00ccffAdditional Gold|r

|cffddddddYou'll soon have plenty, once the killing starts. [B]Goold[/B] luck.|r

You might want to fix it other than that nice idea.
