NEW THREAD (FINAL): http://www.thehelper.net/forums/showthread.php?t=94487

And here I am finally with a working map. Due to the fact that I couldn't upload it in the http://world-editor-tutorials.thehelper.net/ (it said there was no map there) I uploaded it here: http://files.filefront.com/War+of+the+Spells+v010Ptw3m/;10432185;/fileinfo.html

Enjoy. This is a 10 player defence map in Beta stage so tell me if you find errors. :D:thup:

P.S. On the link, a bit lower there is a "+Show Details''. And the map is protected :)


"War of the Spells: Ruiner's Siege" is a hero defence map unlike any other. It requires a lot of teamwork and you must also rely on your allies. The heroes defend many points in attempt to protect the Library where all non shadow spell knowledge is held.

The map also has items, item combinations, very carefully designed custom terrain and has been under development for more than 6 months, during which I've tested and balanced the spells and abilities. Many initial abilities didn't make it trough but new and better ones came. Also the map has Item Drops, from all mobs, and uses a Gold/Sun-Kissed Sapphires as trading items for buying and selling.

All attackers follow the curves of the roads and will press on until all Spell Centres are destroyed. After that they attack the Library with more strength and abilities than before. The map CAN NOT be soloed and need 10 players to finish. You win after 60 minutes, and loose if the Library is destroyed. In addition if you Spell Centre is destroyed stronger attackers will come and target a new Spell Centres, and you will LOOSE your spell trainer.

The map presents a story line. In patches (or versions) the story will be showed, explained and understood. At the end you will have to deal with the Ruiner himself. Untill then two new Spell Types are going to be presented: Conjuring and Chaos! Also soon there will be Mine Fields, Jem Vendors,

The map also has unique jewellery which imbues the heroes with very powerful abilities, which do not interact with the heroes' abilities.

Do they have spellbooks or something? (for the 12 - 15 spells each hero).

It's a Hero Defense? I don't see a base or enemy spawn place for the players...

Anyway, this looks cool.

The bases are: The frozen Place, The Scorched place, the Edge of the Peninsula, The rocky Area in the south, the watery area to the north east, the rocky area to the north, the area directly west of the river, and the area at the west side. Creeps spawn for each area :)

Updated the map. It should clarify now more as to how the game goes. So far my friends who tested it are very impressed and liked it.

Hope you all like it too :D:D:D

Well it IS beta, things can still change. Besides, all the heroes are bound to spells...still the Air heroine maybe should be more of a melee and the Water Lieutenant (considering that he has the skin of a commander) should also be good in Melee...but this will need some work, some tweaking of his abilities.

I soloed it for some time... how do you win anyway?

You can definitely solo this map as Earth, not sure for others though. They couldn't even damage me with my awzum 79% damage reduction and mad regen (I had 2 of those fancy pendants that give a regen aura). You really should look into that, cause I'm pretty sure you didn't want to make it that way.

The terrain is awesome btw, plus i love how every Spell Center gets attacked by different mobs, so it never gets tiresome to watch.
