Strike on Aranos

This is an ongoing project I started in late January 2015.

Early Thinking

In mid-January I came up with an idea for a map which was pretty similar to my most successful map "Age of Heroes". I thought it was finally time to start a similar, yet fresh project with more content than its predecessor. Brainstorming was done for a couple of weeks and the project started on January 25th 2015.

Concept

There are two factions on this map, the Terrans and the Protoss. Each player can choose between a variety of different heroes, but players on the Terran team cannot choose protoss heroes and vice versa. The heroes are all equipped with 4 unique abilities and 1 passive.

There are placed 5 outposts symmetrically on the map (for balance purposes) and an alien artifact in the center of the map. The artifact is protected by a force field and no one can get access to it while it's active. The only way to remove the force field is to extract every drop of terrazine from the outposts. When the force field is removed the teams can get access to the artifact by channeling it with terrazine. The more terrazine the team has collected the faster they will gain control over the artifact. The team who gains control over the artifact will win the game.

Suggestions

I really need ideas for different heroes or even just a few abilities or passives. Or maybe an addition to the overall concept. Feel free to post your ideas in the comment section.
