Features Over 300 items to choose from, including sideshops and items to gain from hero kills. Game ending statistics, allowing you to see every kill/assist/death etc you made, as well as getting your own RANK based on how you played. Advanced Ranking System, allowing you to set your rank manually with your own color and style, as well as let the game decide to update your rank with your nickname automatically as you get one. A REMATCH option; there is no need to restart the game all over again. If you have enough players, you can just vote for a rematch through the menu or just finish the game and the game will switch your sides (you will be dark if you were light and vice versa) within a short duration of only 15 seconds. Not a balanced team for a rematch? Check the next feature. A REBALANCE option; players left? Got a 4v2? 5v3? A small command through -menu will allow you to rebalance the teams, and a random player(s) will move to the other team, so that 3v5 will become 4v4, 5v2 will become 4v3, etc. No need to restart the game just because of 1 or 2 leavers! Got some newbie players on your team, and the other team is stacked with professionals? No problem! The new and improved Shuffle Teams command through -menu will allow you to shuffle players among teams randomly, so that the game can even out! 6v6 Compatibility Custom Hero Experience system, allowing you to stay away from battle to get your items without having alot of difference in the experience that your enemy gained. It also allows 2 heroes at the same area to gain the same amount of experience (more then 2 will result a split of XP among the rest of the allied heroes) Custom creep bounty system, allows you to have creep gold as long as you keep hitting them. This eliminates the last hit reward problem on most aos maps out there. Assistance System, allows you to still recieve a part of the gold from a hero kill if you assisted the kill in any way. A comfortable command menu instead of the usual -commands, just type -menu for an enhanced menu with many options. A wonderful looking terrain with 4 lanes to ambush your enemies with alot of free space to hide around. Advanced never seen before spells that will leave you with an open mouth; every spell has been designed carefully with the community members, and has been well scripted in jass, memory leak free. It is recommended that you will have an upgraded graphics card due to the intensity of the effects. Also bear in mind that the abilities are very complicated, you should read guides and spell descriptions before using your spells so you can know what they do and how to use them wisely. They aren't just click and go. Custom hero skins which were made specifically to the map, each hero with its own theme, some skins were edited to fit the map (Credits are given through F9 and in opening screen) Custom models for spell effects made by kabal for the map Capture the flag system, allowing you to push lanes if you got your flag. Mercenary system; the mercenaries can aid you, if you hide them the enemy's flag, and you can also buy special unit deliveries from them, to blow up bridges, and thus, alot of tactics are involved.

Looking good.

I'm still thinking that Cosmo needs less disables.

[Fulla]

Well his spells did get nerfed quite a bit, so he's pretty balanced now.
Gravity Bender may become channelling in the future thou.

[Rising_Dusk]

Why do you generally update other peoples' maps and never make your own? Also, it doesn't seem like you changed anything except some balancing and silly stuff. I might try it again, but I've always been turned off by the way it plays in the past and it appears as though that hasn't changed at all.

[Kwah]

And over complicated spells, although I think that is a tad better now.

Well I'm much more a gamer than a mapper, when I see a map which has been discontinued which I play alot, I enjoy carrying it through. This time thou, it was more due to alot ppl screaming about all the bugs & imbalances, which once I started, I began to get really interested in.

As for a new map, perhaps one day.

Also, it doesn't seem like you changed anything except some balancing and silly stuff.

Well this is 1.05, there were 4 versions prior, & overall quite alot has changed. I'd recommend atleast giving a try.

It can't hurt, I suppose.

[emjlr3]

you should have posted all 5 changelogs, so ppl could see exactly all the work you had done to better the map

I still don't like it - the map its too huge, the spells too complex, the items terrible, et cetera.

But that's just me - and those things are likely not going to change
