Gameplay:
Allied computer troops spawn every 30 seconds.
Control your hero to help your computer alliance to destroy enemy's towers and bases.
Maximum hero level is 10.
Each time the hero level, he will gain a ability point which can be used to learn / upgrade abilities.
Buy items / upgrade your hero / hire bodyguards at the Xel'Naga Shrine of your base. (A dialog box will show up at the left end of your screen.)
The side that destroy all three enemy bases first wins.
Features:
Additional mercenaries will spawn every 60 seconds once the hero reaches level 3. You can control their attack path with the dialog box at top left of the screen.
Computer troops spawn for each paths are different. Plan your attack tactfully!
Every time a computer base is destroyed, the remaining computer bases of that computer force will produce more units or stronger units.
Game Modes:
Normal Mode:

Known issues (please tell me if you know how to fix!):
Sniper's Penetrator Round is based on that of Raynor. However, the red laser indicator is designed for single player map and is buggy if applied to multiplayer. Therefore, I removed the indicator althogether.
Mimic life and energy reset when it changes form, due to that life and energy modifying behaviors (Strength, Psi-Power) not compatible with the morph type abilities. I used some trigger to fix the final life and energy but there is a split second that wrong life and energy is displayed.

Not sure at the moment. I only uploaded it to NA and SEA servers yesterday but if the map is successful, I'll definitely find someone to help me to upload it to other servers!
Btw, due to the stupid popularity system, it maybe difficult to find other players to play. Feel free to play it as single player. Even single player vs computer is quite challenging as I put some powerful defense mechanism at the enemy bases!
Well. I searched for like hours and finally found it haha. I played it singleplayer of course and it was interesting. I thought it was a really unique take on dota.
I really only have 2 pieces of feedback. I wasn't a fan of the Lasers one shotting me in the base. Luckily I went the dark templar so I could blink away if I saw them target me, but it would probably really suck for other classes.
Secondly, if you move armor around in your inventory it will heal you. Quite the exploit.
It's my intention to make the final base fight a bit tricky by adding that laser. Dark templar (or the Shadow Hunter) can avoid it more easily but other heroes can still avoid it by walking away immediately until the laser choose another target. Well, maybe taking a few hit in the process. :P
Thanks a lot for pointing out the armor exploit! From the look of it, it is probably something similar to the problem I mentioned above that Mimic reset life and energy when it changes form. I'll see if I can find a solution when back home.
Alright, it seems that if the item's behavior modify life or energy (probably shield as well), the respective attribute will be reset. Couldn't find any field that can fix this, so I changed Khaydarin Amulet, Titanium Shield and Heart of the Swarm, which are all supposed to be some kind of equipment/artifact, to bind on pickup.
Thanks alectwin. I will find someone to help me uploading it to EU eventually. However, with the current stupid popularity system, it will be a hard job for the uploader to bump the map to the first few pages. Therefore, I would like to make sure the map is getting certain degree of fame (and it certainly will because its quality is better than many maps on the popularity first page) before I release it to other servers.
By the way, just found out another pathetic issue. People on NA and SEA who want to play the map, DON'T search for "aeon of chaos" as this will give you a long list of maps with the word "of" in their names! Just search "aeon"!
I tried and am trying out your map, but I was wondering how to get more vespene. I had managed to kill every defensive building and couldn't get anymore vespene until I win. Is it possible that you can create some "minibosses" that give you vespene? I would be very appreciated. :D
I intended to make vespene gas harder to get than minerals. Actually you get vespene as well when you kill enemy player's heroes. Unfortunately that it is hard to find someone to play against at this point. It would be great if you have a few friends to try the map together and see if the vespene gas is adequate. So far I'm only able to test 1 vs 1 with my friend.... :P So please create games of my map for at least five mins when you have time to help bump up this map! :D
Eventually, if it turns out that it is still not enough vespene in a 5v5 game, I may consider adding other sources.
I used a new model for Napalm Burninator. Due to some strange bug I needed to create multiple copies of the model to make it works, so please tell me if you find that makes the graphic laggy.
I used Perdition Turret's attack as the Napalm Burninator's model. However, for some strange reason it does not display the fire occasionally even the target is damaged. This usually happens in the first few casts, then it works fine for a long time, then the fire may randomly disappear again. Spended a whole day to try to find out the cause, replaced a few model, tested changing a lot of field but no effect. Finally I used a work around by hooking the actor to another effect so that it is called multiple times everytime Napalm Burninator is cast.
I used Hellion attack in the original version but the weak thin line of fire just doesn't match the heavy look of the B.O.T. (i.e. the A.R.E.S. in the campaign secret mission). Anyway, the ability works well now. The only concern is I need to know whether drawing multiple copies of the fire in small time intervals would cause lag on some slower machines.

Update v1.11 now! Made a few changes to some items for balance reason. Please check the third post for details!
I'm also going to add some resource penalty to hero death. How about -30% minerals and gas everytime the hero dies?
I would to try this map, but i'm in the europe zone...
please release this map in EU...
Thanks alectwin. I will find someone to help me uploading it to EU eventually. However, with the current stupid popularity system, it will be a hard job for the uploader to bump the map to the first few pages. Therefore, I would like to make sure the map is getting certain degree of fame (and it certainly will because its quality is better than many maps on the popularity first page) before I release it to other servers.
By the way, just found out another pathetic issue. People on NA and SEA who want to play the map, DON'T search for "aeon of chaos" as this will give you a long list of maps with the word "of" in their names! Just search "aeon"!

Thanks for the feedback!
I intended to make vespene gas harder to get than minerals. Actually you get vespene as well when you kill enemy player's heroes. Unfortunately that it is hard to find someone to play against at this point. It would be great if you have a few friends to try the map together and see if the vespene gas is adequate. So far I'm only able to test 1 vs 1 with my friend.... :P So please create games of my map for at least five mins when you have time to help bump up this map! :D
Eventually, if it turns out that it is still not enough vespene in a 5v5 game, I may consider adding other sources.
Updated again.
I used a new model for Napalm Burninator. Due to some strange bug I needed to create multiple copies of the model to make it works, so please tell me if you find that makes the graphic laggy.
What's the issue with it?
I used Perdition Turret's attack as the Napalm Burninator's model. However, for some strange reason it does not display the fire occasionally even the target is damaged. This usually happens in the first few casts, then it works fine for a long time, then the fire may randomly disappear again. Spended a whole day to try to find out the cause, replaced a few model, tested changing a lot of field but no effect. Finally I used a work around by hooking the actor to another effect so that it is called multiple times everytime Napalm Burninator is cast.
Yep. It's the firebat attack. It just doesn't play sometimes. I'd suggest using the Hellion attack instead, it doesn't bug out.
I used Hellion attack in the original version but the weak thin line of fire just doesn't match the heavy look of the B.O.T. (i.e. the A.R.E.S. in the campaign secret mission). Anyway, the ability works well now. The only concern is I need to know whether drawing multiple copies of the fire in small time intervals would cause lag on some slower machines.
This map looks like a lot of fun. I'll try to bump it up when I have time and I hope others can do the same =)
