Heroes V: New multiplayer map -- any betatesters?
Hi all,
I just made a map for homm V, and since it is quite dull to play it yourself, maybe there are some happy campers around here willing to beta test it? (I have played the first months with both sides to check for the most obvious errors)
Key features:
- Very large map
- Identic starts (made for expert players)
- BIG monsters (plenty of opportunties for picking bad battles :-)
- Expected time is several months (in game, not IRL :-)
- Instant travel + flying disabled
- Relatively scarce resources
- Several situations where a good player can gain an advantage by avoiding bad battles and by spending his/her resources wisely
Of course it is a mix of small and big monster stacks, and the trick is to figure out which stacks are worth attacking.. since some of them are not.
You can download the map from
http://129.16.225.87/heroes/A_Dance_For_Two.pak
and place it in your Data directory. I guess that when playing over network both players should have the pak file.
You should select an artifact from beginning, since the starting resources are controlled by the map (set to 10k gold, 10 wood/ore and 5 of each precious resource).
Use normal level to get the monster stacks as specified in the editor - using heroic causes them to be notably larger.. and they certainly are large enough already :-)
Any comments, criticism and thoughts are welcome.
