The War Between Balance 1.0

Well, after tons of questions it's finally done.. with TONS of changes to go. I'm still learning map editor, so I'm going to regularly update my map, each learning a little bit more every time. My map is (simular to DotA so far) about Humans and Nature getting in a war between the balance of the two on Earth... if you know anything about what we're doing to the environment you know what I'm talking about. You pick a hero, go to either the top or bottom spawn lane, and fight your way through to the enemies base, destroying their grand structure (Humans - Civil Empire, Nature - Roots of Life), alternately you may fight creeps (there are 4 individual sections of them). That's about it for right now. I will add 2 heros every new version (1 for nature, 1 for humans). I know there are many bugs, but please bear with me as I'm currently working on heroes and update system (soon you will be able to upgrade the auto-spawn units). So... tell me what you think and have fun. Here's th link..

P.S. It's not protected, however, I'm not sure why you'd even want to steal it at this early of age.

ill check it out :p I'll edit this post in a while with my review.

EDIT:
-Give more/better tooltips on hereos (atleast give a list of the abilities)
-Hope you don't live "hostadvantage"
-Better tooltips (Give description of damage/duration/etc. or if more than 4-5 levels, say "Increases Damage by X" )
-No items?!
-You need better button positions for skills (some are just scatted around "randomly"
-Hotkeys!
-Lock cameras so they don't go outside of the "battle field" the terrain surrounding the other terrain not used is...well...

Overall: I found it boring... The skills are ok, but there is no purpose to playing it other than "let me see what this skill does" (since they don't have good descriptions) and "i must not lose, so i must win" You need items, that gives a purpose. "I want X item. I need X gold. So i kill a lot of units!"

It's not bad, but since you said its an alpha, it's pretty good.

(also, if you want to know by "better descriptions", here's an example: I played the Warlock dude in the humans, it says, "rise a minion". So i think...hmmm minions...warlock... COOL! Infernals! but no...i get a little mini-me lol)

Alright, Iasked someone about that and they said I shouldn't XD
-No items?!
I'm working on them after heros
-You need better button positions for skills (some are just scatted around "randomly"
Alright, that'll be a finishing touch
-Hotkeys!
Another finishing touch
-Lock cameras so they don't go outside of the "battle field" the terrain surrounding the other terrain not used
is...well...

Uhhh... thanks for review, but level the minion skill to 5... you don't think I'd just keep a sissy unit like that would you?

ALSO-
I mean like it literally shows an image right there by the text, not just link.

Ah, I get it, thanks. By the way, I'm working on items as of now.. I'll post the new version when I'm done with them. (since they're also going to be custom of course..)

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though

    Heard Houston got hit pretty bad by storms last night. Hope all is well with TH.
