"4v4 allyed map 1.03 final" info

[veroslow]

Some more information about what should be the final version of this map:

.I changed the mini quest at the start for each faiths, now builds are not more "encounters" but are "dungeons". Dungeons are better for the start in hard mode becouse you fight against units of your faith, so it is less dangerous and it give to you 1 follower after win the combat. The last structure is a tower level 4.

.Also I added 8 new "dungeons" wich give you additional followers. After that you will try to free your Great Temple with more confidence.

.If you won't to judge my map I suggest to watch it with "custom map" pressing F4 and not with "map editor" becouse a lot of dungeons are hidden and random dungeons/random rotation are "ON", etc.

.I noticed right now that "Create plain" aren't allowed in multiplayer mode so the bug that I explayned befor isn't a problem

.The difference of my map between hoters beautifull maps that I've seen in the map pack is the possibility to play 1v1 or 1v1 + the support of 1 AI player for each one etc giving a different competitive aspect of the game, compatible with the small number of ppl in this comunity. For example if I played with Mantera in a cooperative hard mode in this map, he would be Life (in direct front of the imba Death ) and I would be Order or Air against Death and Chaos-Fire. (I am scared about play life-hard-mode in this map becouse death killed me the last time, at the end I won the game thx to the last-save that is just a cheat )


P.s. Don't be scared if after win an hard dungeon in the jungle you find a big enemy party that wait for you on the way, becouse this is just the goal of this map, my idea of game play and it is an highly probably situation in this map.

My hope is just to allow people to have a lot of fun with this map. ;D

Sorry for the double thread

EDIT: Also terrain,streets,sprites are fixed/improved in this version.

also I have added a lot of dungeons,encounters and sprites in the desert area of the map. The only bug that I see for now (only for multiplayer) is the easy way how a player can bloc water passage for ships in the middle of the map whith "create plain", even if the water player will open those passage again, anyway it will be imballanced (evil faction have not the water "Create plain" ability) Maybe it will be fix with village water mage tower, but I haven't do nothing like that for now. :\

I remambar to you that in single player mode you will erase capitals etc with map editor for play 2v2 or 3v3 and if you find the game too easy you will try 1v2 or 2v4 or 1v3 etc also ever even if your faction (evil/good) win you will start the war for the conquer of the world.

Create Plain works in multiplayer just fine. Just does not work over the impassable-rocky terrain. Only one spell can do this and it's the "Restore Land" spell which is castable by the Holy Grail in the Order Quest.

Strange becouse I tryed it right now and don t work...
Maybe it don't work only if you play alone in multyplayer mode?

Well, depends on how far you're trying to cast.

I enforced a limitation on terraform spells. The spell cannot be cast any further than Caster Sight Radius + 10 Tiles. Previously, players would just spam terraform spells in enemy territory in multiplayer.

Now I tryed with life and it work but please try with water becouse it won't work. Try it with: - multiplayer - direct cable - water mage - 20 spells - observe only player combat - 1 AI player -.
Create reaver won't work on water than on land.

Not really O,O

Not really sure if I mentioned it or not, but the latest GS5R2 update allows for faiths without capitals to be chosen in multiplayer now.

ALSO back to your Terraforming difficulties: if you're playing without the Shroud and you're trying to still cast a Terraform spell in an area where you haven't been within sight radius of, you will FAIL to cast the spell.

If you've never been within Sight of a particular spot of land, you'll never be able to terraform that land.

Even though the Shroud may be "removed" the game won't acknowledge the entire map as "explored" unless you've been there.

Use a Seer spell on the spot you're wanting to terraform first. If the target location is within the caster's Sight Radius plus 10 tiles, the spell will proc and the land will change.


I have tested this myself and everything is as exactly as I have said.


Explore land first, then cast, regardless if shroud exists or not.

[Edit: minor spelling correction. "Having" to "Haven't"]
