Map maker: Unavailable(war3.uuu9.com)

Map Type:  Castle Defense

Number of Players: 6

Replayability: yes

It is another map that focuses on defending a structure; this time around it’s the eye of Sargeras model on a stick. It’s the usual plethora of skill spamming utilizing team mate combos and what not. You don’t get much of a choice of characters in the game. You get what is assigned to you and just wing it. Even if you do not get a chance to choose; It is not that much of a problem the characters themselves can hold their ground.   

It features the usual shops of weapons, potions and tomes. A monster arena for quick money farming and a boss arena as well, it has custom models for bosses. And a more few things I haven’t really checked out.   

The Good

Custom models (pretty neat) Varying degrees of difficulty from defunct hp mobs to randomized character picks against mobs having HP nearly impossible to kill. Another thing that creators should be praised or and should be a standard in maps is the damage counter. You usually don’t see the actual damage a hero deals towards an enemy only critical hits are shown. This map lets you see the numbers in all its full glory with decimals and what not.

The Bad

Ive been having a string of bad luck lately. It seems that the maps that I find, well I cant see anything. Im relying on luck on what modes to choose and what characters to play with. Sometimes you win with an overpowered character but mostly you get smacked around; since you don’t know which item to buy or which skill to put in. The only thing I can seem to rely on is potions and tomes, anything else is a shot to the moon.

It is another map where anime characters are mashed up in a battle field. Forced to fight each other for glory and survival. It uses custom models as all anime oriented maps do, but what sets this one from the others is that its textures are amazing. This map gets my vote for having the most beautiful texture Ive seen on a warcraft 3 model. Its so very detailed and looks natural, just like how they were in the anime/manga universe they were in.

The Good

It’s a very fast paced game, that centers around teamwork and proper coordination. Without those two key elements well, winning isn’t going to be easy.  Its very beautiful to watch and behold, at the same time it also might confuse players since the skill animation tends to get pretty bright and distracting.

The Bad

I really don’t see anything bad with this. Oh yeah I cant see some the text in the menu when selecting something. But Im sure you have luck on your side and you will probably choose the appropriate settings for you. The worst you could pick is random characters and that’s not so bad since everyone was made nicely.

Loli 2.1[ver 1.24e]

Map maker: unavailable              

Map Type:  Hero defense

Number of Players: 6

Replayability: yes

A map that, instead of burly big warriors or Amazonian women, you have guessed it little girls for playable characters. The characters themselves are taken from known media such as the Touhou franchise, Rozen maiden, Black rock shooter, Shakugan no shana and what seems to be a palette swap of prince Kael’thas (I did not know that he qualified for a loli character.)

The objective of the game is simple. You must protect your house from oncoming waves of enemies.

Through teamwork and skill spamming finishing the game is an easy task.

The Good

It’s a very fun replayable game, with teamwork a necessary element in reaching the final levels. The character models are simply adorable. The skills blend flawlessly in the background. It is your run of the mill map with custom models with custom spell effects, it is beautiful.

The Bad

Did I mention that I could not read or see any description on this map. The only thing that I could make out was the tomes that you buy for adding some extra point in your attributes (strength, agility, intelligence).  Aside from that and looking around for some hunting grounds to earn more cash, I could not figure out the item builds. Everything had the icon of an axe, with varying prices it was hard to decipher which I should buy, which I want to buy, which I need to buy, etc.

                                                                                                                                                                         

The Lost Temple

The Lost Temple [ver.: v1.4b.9]

Map maker: Search2Destroy

Map Type:  Claim and Defend.

Number of Players: 4v4

Replayability:  not so much

The Lost temple is set on an island where several heroes are put to the test to claim the lost temple for the side they are aligned with. 4 statues reside in the temple, destroying the statues releases a guardian an invisible force that will spawn once an obelisk has been claimed, determined to seek and slay the owner of said obelisk.

The Good

It’s a simple map, with simple objectives. The heroes themselves though quite few are nicely done, might need a bit of nerfing but skills are pretty and the passive skills make the game more exciting as its effects tend to make farming for money easier or roaming the map faster. The item build is easy and understandable enough buy the same equipment again until you reach the highest tier possible. Equipment with diverse effects requires you to buy a recipe book and travel to different shops scattered around the map. Boss mobs make the game less boring from the simple claim and survive type of game play. A weather system that forces players to move about the island.

The Bad

It’s in its early stages, not much here. Map is small along with some confusing recipe combinations that will take some time to grasp.

Knight Footmen-Wars Tz

Knight Footmen-Wars Tz [ver 2.8]

Map maker: Aron

Map Type: multi mode

Number of Players: 1 - 12

Replayability: yes

A map that brings back one of the early game modes that sparked the warcraft map modding community. A mode where you pick a hero that must destroy the opponents base of operations, add some racial bonuses and penalties, unit upgrades and strategies. The stage is set for some fun times. It can be fast such as run and gun or a war of attrition. Your play style will decide your fate.

The game has four modes for you to choose from Survivor mode, Classic mode, Hero Defense and Hero Arena. Each mode is the same with little differences. The map is littered with your troops fighting against the enemy. Think of yourself as a general commanding an army tasked whether to make them deal more damage, upgrade their armor, turn them into berserkers or heal faster in battle. The decision is up to you. The heroes are well enough to use, each can stand his own ground couple that with some friends and it’s a royal rumblin rockin good time.  

The Good

It’s a fun map, as all maps should be enjoyable to say the most. Some bosses are around to make things more lively. Basic item building with a point system in place to for item balance.  The norms are in place which is good for the game since beginner players can handle things quickly and efficiently during game time.

The Bad

It is not that there is something wrong with it, it is just that kill some heroes destroy the base. The premise is shallow not much lore or connection for you to feel towards your character and the game.
