Eight player spellcasting arena battle. Master your spells and outsmart your opponents with them. Nine different game modes. Four arenas. Empty player slots or players who leave will be replaced by an AI with four difficulty settings that can be changed on the move. You can find a thorough review of version 2.4 http://sclegacy.com/feature/5-weekly/743-legacy-weekly-29 (scroll down).
Really irritating that the hotkeys overlap, makes it 50 times harder
Awesome map, what the guy below me said about the deselecting your caster. It's pretty annoying and results in a lot of needless deaths. I would like to see a camera lock option so the camera centers and stays centered on my guy. A short invincibility when you respawn would be nice as well. Maybe just spawn with a free 1.5s reflect shield? I wouldn't mind seeing a few powerups randomly spawn around. Maybe a movement speed boost, cooldown reduction so you could machine gun spells and a powerup that slows down everyone else? You could spawn em in the middle. Also random environment things would be cool, spikes on the ground that pop up, stuff like that. I dunno, just tossing ideas out there.
Tried multiplayer with a friend using MapCraft, but it didnt work. All the time (tried like 4 or 5 times) game crashes during loading screen. Both of us were able to play singleplayer game, but multiplayer didnt work. :( Very nice singleplayer game still.
Major props, first custom game thats enjoyable beyond its status as a tech demo.
<3 the visual design of the arena too. Visually appealing yet simplistic.

I haven't tried it myself yet, but I've seen many people make heros who gain experience can carry items etc, so I suppose the answer is yes.
It looks awesome:) All i need now is a Beta Key, and then get the beta, then test it out. I have one question though: Will there be Heroes in SC2? do you know that since you have the GE(Beta)?
@ Xelamoon
The hotkeys issue might very well be a result of what you say about the different regional versions. I can only guess that the second problem you mention is caused by a similar if not the same reason as the first. :( I've tested this map countless times myself to clear out bugs and I've found nothing similar to what you describe.
i also have that problem with the spells beign only 2 hotkeys, pretty annoying, i think that it is because i live in europe and the map is made in USA so the cross over version is different, but im not sure.
I have another problem that is bothering me hell of alot, maybe you guys can help me... when there is like a health display or something on a map, or just a popup with a messege that the creator did, i cant see what it says, it just gives me error messages there instead, why is this?
Amazing game, good work! :)
Thanks for the comments folks - I'll look into your suggestions immediately. :-)
@ Skutten
The hotkeys for the 4 spells that you have should be Q, W, E and R. I'm 100% they were so during all my testing sessions and I haven't changed anything that should affect that. Anybody else having this problem? :(
Also, there were some guys who tried to play it over B.net and they said it was lagging. This confuses me because isn't lag over B.net usually caused by memory leaks? I haven't at all considered memory leaks when triggering because I've been under the impression that Blizz's memory garbage dump thingy system would take care of that nowadays. :( Anybody else tried this?
nice work, but fix hotkeys, now its two that uses F and two that uses T...kind of annoying
Played this with a full game, really fun! Great job!
It felt sort of short though, could you trigger an auto-rematch?
Hey that was great, definitely the funnest custom map I've played so far.
Yeap, sorry about the youtube video - had to remove it and reupload cause I noticed some quality issues - it'll be up in about 15 min from this entry, so prepare for some shiny HD quality!
Awesome.
Had to register to say this game is pretty fun, I think it would be pretty hilarious to play with friends.
Pretty good game. Ai is pretty easy though went 20/13/10/10 first game. Should be fun with other players though.
put vid back up :(
