Guardians of Dolmen is a AoS type map I've been working on and have put in a lot of work. Hopefully people will enjoy it because of the amount of time I put into it . First of all there is sixteen heroes you can pick from, each hero has three spells to battle their enemies with and upgrade them to become even stronger. Their is seven items to purchase in the item shop and also a dueling arena to 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, etc. The concept is simple, eliminate the other teams base and win, it has many concepts from DotA such as FIRST BLOOD and unlimited lives. Right now the map is in BETA mode which means it has ten out of twenty heroes playable and six out of seven items working and ready to be purchased. If you guys like what you read here in this thread and want me to post the BETA on SEN I'd be happy to, currently I've been playing the BETA with pubbies / SEN members and the feedback was exceptional.

This map's alright, just everything has too high hp so it takes forever to do anything.

What can this AOS map offer us that the the two popular ones right now do not?

I definitely wanna play this with you. Msg me in op sen whenever

To Jack: I edit'd the HP / Dmg since last you played.


Ok, well for the obvious:
New terrain to play on.
Diferent heroes with different spells.
Different strategies/items/tactics

For the rest:
Brings a DotA-Like atmosphere to the game.
Dueling Arena to add more PvP excitement.
Item's which some of the current popular AOS maps don't have.

Fair enough, but why are you limiting your characters to only 3 spells?

(also, all good AoS maps have items, lol)

I wanted to keep it like DotA where they have four spells per hero and those are upgradable to make stronger.

As for the items, I know all good AoS maps have items, I ment new & different ones, hehe I should've clarified that.

Heheh, I played this with you, it was pretty good XD. Keep it up!

Hey, this map seems awesome, but I couldn't download it from b.net people cause they have no patience for someone going through a few lag spikes.

So could you please give me a download link?

I played it and its fun but you should make spells descriptions.

Thanks man! I'm glad you enjoyed playing it.

Yea b.net people can be very impatient. If more people want me to post the BETA map on SEN then I will defintley do so.

[quote Changeling]I played it and its fun but you should make spells descriptions. [/quote]

Yes, I will be adding spells description later on when I actually have all twenty heroes completed, as of now I'm 12/20.

Timothy Murphy and Smokey da Bear.
I approve

Yay! SDB is actually my favorite hero in the game.

--- Updated --
I updated the original thread with two new heroes, new features & items, enjoy! New screen shots and the banner will be coming shortly.

Timothy is rapeage. No joke.

-- Updated! --
Added a new hero, I also decided to change the heroes from twenty to sixteen. I also removed the "Eye" item and replaced it with Teleport to Mid, and now all items are functional. Also enjoy the banner that t-Virus(U) made!

You need more spells. I literally stopped reading after you said there would only be three per hero. I don't care what other systems you have: Unless you're doing some really off-the-wall map, you'll need at least four.

(And Ahli, this is NOT SPAM. I don't know why you thought it was. I'm posting a legitimate criticism.)

XD for the banner it looks like
-kane from ff IV
-Assassin's Creed

This looks promising, and I'm actually happy you're making only 3 spells per character, you have a chance to prove all those other mappers wrong about mass amounts of spells.

What!? I thought having over 90 spells automatically made your map the best?

More is not always better. I'd take 3-4 good spells that synergize well over a dozen spells any day.
