1) No cheats (except the $5000 critter that you can kill - 1 per team but it's not cheat b/c it says so openly -"kill this for $5000)
::And you can buy a queen from shop to brood the critter, but I foudn out that if you go all upgrades you can kill the critter in time & still have stronger hero.
2) All heroes are good to play - no special heroes like "zergling" "goliath" etc. & sucky heroes like infested kerrigan.
3) Faster mineral, more mineral for killing, map's smaller, duel is frequent --> no wasting time moving around, eating up the map, etc. Game is fast.
:::So I had to make photon cannons really strong b/c they'd get outdated by the time ppl have enough money to use photon cannons (b/c fast upgrades for heroes) --> some ppl thought this made the game unplayable or rigged, which is not the case.
4) Waves have low hp, high attack --> if you have about $10000 of the waves (which is manageable b/c of fast income) you can win the game basically (unless the other side responds quickly with corsair wave) but if you don't have this much it's not worth going for. The reason this is the case is that the map's small - there's no space to "eat up"
5) In duel, you fight with all your teammates - more sophisticated & more fun & more balanced. It's not goliath beats ghost, dragoon beats goliath, etc.
6) 1 bank only. No bank cheats.
7) units from shop don't win you the game (like defiler that does the orange cloud in the final version of hero wars)
8) In other words, no tricks that win you the game. No room for arrogant idiots.
None.
