Dark Legacy: Warchasers 2.78c (RPG/Hero Defence)

[deepstrasz]

Holy Aura's icon looks like an active ability's. To make it look passive you could use: Button Manager v1.8.2
Is the Infernal supposed to attack the village?
I think players waste time in the labyrinth where there's not that much to do and some clicking on the minimap can lead you to the exit/portal quite fast. This along with other parts of the map make the terrain look kind of blank.
Also, there's no story or quests, you just go and go almost aimlessly if it weren't for the linearity of the path.

Since this is pretty much dependent on Warcraft III abilities and gameplay mechanics, I'd like some polish, improvements and some gameplay diversity before approving it.

Awaiting Update.

ADDITIONAL NECESSARY INFORMATION

• A credits list in the map thread description is required where the names of the resource (models, skins, icons, spells, sound etc.) authors are mentioned along with the specific resource. It would be a luxury to have links leading to the used resources. Credits in the Quest Log would be appreciated too.
• A detailed changelog in the first post would be helpful to reviewers and notify fans about the newest implementations to your map.
• Map thread tags are important. Please use those that fit and not more or none.

Thanks for the recommendation and your review!

It's nice to see you're still checking the maps just like when I posted Holy War in 2015)

Is the Infernal supposed to attack the village?

Yes, sure. And he runs away with the demons when the heroes attack. This is done so that you can immediately move in the right direction when player 11 (Dark Lord) has time to build his defense in the dungeon.

I think players waste time in the labyrinth where there's not that much to do and some clicking on the minimap can lead you to the exit/portal quite fast. This along with other parts of the map make the terrain look kind of blank.

The number of enemies and gold to build them is determined by the number of heroes. If less than 3 players are playing, then the dungeon will be a bit empty.

Added some constant random events to the dungeon (in 0.92a) to make it look more interesting and with fewer players.

Also, there's no story or quests, you just go and go almost aimlessly if it weren't for the linearity of the path.

Added quests for a general understanding of what is happening. The map was not planned as a complex RPG with a lot of quests. More like a variant of the board game Dark World RPG with elements of original Blizzard "Warchasers".

Personally, I like to build hordes of evil creatures and play as the Dark Lords, although during the tests I could not gather more than 5 people against me)

Ideally, the player and not the computer plays for the dark lord, then the map will be very variable.


Thanks again for your work!

Ethereal Fortress TD, not Holy War. Sorry, my memory seems to be failing me)
