Well, I don't know if its too late or not, but I did this for a competition at www.BlizzForums.com, and I checked here, and it fits the requirements, so without further to do:

Press This Link!

Thats the link to a downloaded attachment place on wc3c, well, whether or not the competition is over or not, I would like to get feedback on this!

I used Vexorian's idea for the 'Map Testing' items, but I did all of the map myself. Including the triggers for the 'Map Testing' items. EVERYTHING is my own on this map.

_________________

Edited: well, i looked at a few other heros, and they look sweet! Nice job you guys, I don't use like to use triggers for my spells because: 1) Bugs, lots of bugs show up in trigger abilities. |2) I have not much of a clue as to how to create a ability using a trigger ( If anyone could help me in this area, thanks)

Well, even if its over, I still want you guys to try it, so here is the story:

The Tale...For years past, the Celtic Gaurdian has existed... preventing world destruction... and protecting the runes...

The runes are sacred glyphs of fallen souls, usually in battle... The sprite spirit of the soul, will allow the soul to once again become of aid... but there are those of the fallen demon souls too... and those that lurk in that darkness, seek to destroy the runes, the gaurdian, and all worlds; they are called the Burning Legion...

The time now is 1000 years from the time that the Gaurdian had sank the great isle, to become sunken ruins... The Gaurdian barely remebers the place when he sails across open water... but when he sees it he knows, that a demonic soul of an ever corrupting eye dwells in the place, being the reason he sunk the island... He must retreive the eye, bring it to the Volcanic Star Gate, where he can finish off the Demonic corrupting Eye of Sargaraes... This, is how it really happened in the campaign...


Enjoy!

ok this contest is dead, so im gonna revive it ! i will try and judge all submitted heroes ! i'am gonna release a list with the heroes and im gonna judge em in various fields (effect, functionality, balance, ...) some helpful comments are welcome !
#228
Huh i haven't been there for ages now. (i don't really have too much free time nowadays)

It's quite suprising, that this topic still lives (i thought it must have been deleted while i wasn't here)

Well it is good to know the big judging is under way, and i also welcome the idea of ziNv. I think you can do it if it doesn't break any forum rules or not inacceptable.
#229
well its pretty easy to judge the heroes, first sort out the ones who doesnt fulfill the requirements or break the rules... --> disquilified
then you sort the ones who only have changed missiles arts on standart abilities and the ones who are really good, then you can start judging !
#230
noone of members is going to judge the Hero contest, end of discussion.
#231
ElfWarfare and me are almost finished with the contest, except the results in about a week.
#232
Hey cool! I can't wait to find out who wins! I still think that fish hero should win, but I don't know if I got to see all the heros.

DarkShadowElfWarfare and me are almost finished with the contest, except the results in about a week.


Heh... I can't wait to see this I guess. This contest was way too much judged compared to the most submissions. ;)
#234
well at least about one fourth is going to be fisqualified! coz they dont follow the rules. then about the half is only standart spells with altered fx/missile arts and changed damage/stun duration or whatever
the last fourth are the heroes wou can really judge ! and thats about 15 +-
#235
Congratulations ziNv!

I think this is the moment many of us was waiting for.
If it's not a problem, then someone could post a list here about the top ten heroes, i'm curious about the others you found good.
#236
Congrats zinv. I just hope they have another contest which is judged alot faster soon, since improved alot since 3 MONTHS AGO.
#237
Good job. Can I use your hero in my RPG called The Legend of Power?
I will give you full credit if you say OK.
#238
well, u sure can use it --> its open source BUT i would recommend you to have a look at the actual version of my map : The last War so you can check out the changed effects which (imo) look far better ^^ thanks to the judges and every one else :)
#239
Woot! Thanks!
