Storm of the Imperial Sanctum v4 by ekcolnovkol
I'm sure most of you have played SotIS at one point in time... Many of you debate how epic the game is, but that is besides the point. The fact of the matter here is that SotIS is the best in it's genre, no other current AoS-styled maps really measure up to it. Version 4.0 was released earlier today adding a slew of new things. Below we have two new screenshots for 4.0 as well as a video taking a look at the 3.X series of the game...
i want download it.
very good,i want it.
@playlessNamer,
Starcraft 2 Editor is so powerful that you can make any RTS out of it, so you are wrong. Also, there are some space-theme heroes like Andromeda in Heroes of Newerth (DotA-game) which works out perfectly fine.
It's not about the theme, it's about how it all works - mechanics yo.
The only problem I have with the game was that the effects don't match the style and abilities aren't balanced to the point of heroes having pros and cons...
Everyone gets a uber ultimate, but it's not balanced properly between heroes for example.
The effect made up of SC2 stuff looks ugly and clogs up the screen at times...
They gotta follow that 3v3 map, and use that style of effects where it doesn't clog up the screen unless its really that powerful.
The terrain IS confusing, that's proven, knowing the texture and the color pallet on it.
Micro gravitus has been ultra-nerfed :/ His attack is really too slow.
Starcraft is not the right theme for Dota. Blizzard Dota will suck too! Starcraft is just good for mass Zerglings run into terranfire. Why they didnt make WC4? sad :(

I didn't say the game was great or it was completely balanced, ;P. It's not bad, but I know it could potentially be better. There are no maps that are anywhere near competing with it though.
It might be the current best of it's genre, still doesn't mean it's good.
or balanced.
a lot of time and effort have been put into the games content, I give it that, but that's where my appreciation ends.
I just really do not enjoy it, perhaps it's the heroes, or the terrain, or the items, or the abilities etc. Just isn't for me.
At least they're actively working on it and are dedicated to the game.
I agree that it's currently the best in the genre, but with 4.0 I can't say they have made it easier for new players to understand the game alot. The attributes system is confusing, the terrain is awful and theres not the same smoothness as the other dota games have really captured, like HoN (especially) and LoL. This smoothness really shines at things like creeps. Hold Position also doesn't work like real DotA games which would be a great feature to have (currently, the hero will hold but will continue attacking).
Huge flaming hydralisk? Sense has just not been made.
many sotis' hero skill is very similar to dota...ex)sotis swann=dota voljin
so i dont like sotis..i wish there were more specificity to
True. I'll admit it is certainly the best of it's genre, though it may not be my cup of tea.
