One of the best tower defense maps on Warcraft 3 is Element TD. This map is different from previous tower defense maps, where your aim is to build as many tower as your could (and build the best on of course). It employs are rather fresh concept of using elements to decide what kind of towers that you can build.

You get to pick an element every 5 rounds ( which involve killing one stronger elemental creep) and your choice of elements will affect the types of tower you can build. There are 6 elements to choose from, fire, nature, earth, water, light, and darkness. Mixing 2 or more elements can give you an unique strong tower but may require more gold to be able to be build.

My favourite tower is the mushroom tower that delivers fast attack speed with considerable damange. To get that, I’ll have to pick the earth and nature element. And I’ll keep on focusing on those too elements by pickup higher level earth and nature elements to be able to upgrade my mushroom tower.

There are many concepts that needs attention to fare well in this game. Tower position is extremely important and as well as the timing of building the tower. If you hold on to your cash and build towers later, you’ll be able to receive interest for the gold. That would then lead to more gold to buy more towers !!!

The best thing is to download the Element TD map and have a go at it with your friends to know more about the game mechanics.

You will be able to find the latest Element TD maps ( version 4.1) from its official website : http://eletd.com/

Episode 1

This is pretty old but if you guys have no heard about the Azerothian Super Villains, you gotta check out this amazingly funny fan-made WoW video (look at the adjectives !).

Hi folks !
Blizzard just opened a new beta server called Westfall. Upon logging on the server, you’ll get the update from the latest 1.22 patch. As of this moment, I looks like I’m the only guy there at the moment. There is no one in the chat rooms or playing games at the moment. Join me there pls

Anyway here are the official Warcraft 3 changelog for the 1.22 Patch.

————————————————————————–

Lol. As you can see the info I got about the rumored changelog was way off. My apologies on that. I thought the source was a reliable one

With all the hype for the soon to be released 1.22 Patch going on, I decided to put up this unconfirmed change log, from mymym.com . Of course, this is just the unconfirmed changelog as discussion with the esports teams and all are still going on. But from what it looks like Night Elf, my fav. race (not because its imba), it’s going to go down when the patch is released. No…the once cheap Dryads !!! Whatever the case is, it welcome the new patch and extra features (esports, tourneys) as players need to rework their strategies.

Human
-Tank will use 4 food instead of 3 and will give +25xp
-flying machine flac cannon will cost 200g/175w instead of 100g/150w

This is a cumulutive effect for each acolyte repairing and can stack up to 3 times. This can be very effective on meat wagons when sieging or when trying to save an undead gold mine.
-Ghoul Frenzy now also increases ghoul Life Regeneration by .5 and grants Ghouls a 5% Life Leech (Stacks with Vampiric Aura)

If you exceed that limit the lowest food costing charmed unit will become “Neutral Hostile” or a “Creep” and will attack you. If all the charmed units are the same food cost then it will judge by gold, and then wood. And if they
are all the same it will be randomly selected. Charmed units no longer add to your food supply cost as the Ranger feeds her minions herself.
-Firelord; Incinerate Mana cost reduced to 4 from 6.

Yes, you heard it right. This morning, I was greeted with a pleasant surprise when my Warcraft 3 downloaded an update and when I saw the changelog… its a NO-CD patch !!!

Time to put away my scratched Warcraft 3 cd and this makes lan parties much much easier

If you still haven’t already downloaded the patch, you can get it over here.

Cheers

Finally, an update to X Hero Siege has been released ! I can’t seem to find any info about the changelog but from what it looks like I don’t see much noticeable difference in the game play. There are of course, refinements to the game build which makes it look more slick. Other than that, nothing beats playing the latest version.

Do let me know if you notice any difference.

Download it here

After playing DoTA and X Hero Siege for quite some time, it gets REAL boring. Another custom game that I’m currently into is Footmen Frenzy. Unlike Dota, Footmen frenzy has 4 teams and 3 players in a team, battling out at the center of the map. You still have a main hero with auto spawning footmen.

Of course, those footmen can be upgraded to stronger units. The vary strategy on how to play this game which upgrades focusing on the heroes (buying powerful items), increasing unit stats or even pooling all the money to a single player.

There are many many different version to Footmen Frenzy. In my opinion the most popular one is the Footmen Frenzy v5.2 -AR. If you looking for the map, you’ll be able to download the latest ones from www.nohunters.com

And here is a clip to see what I’m taking about :

I got this question sometime ago(In the middle of my exams) which is why I’m only answering it know. Sorry about that. I’ll post it up so that others can be informed too. Any further comments or suggestions, feel free to comment ! By the way, my answers are in orange below.

Hi man. Nice to meet you.

I am Vietnamese, and also the new gamer too. I really like X Hero Siege map. Would you mind answering me some question about that map?

I play it for quite many times. I complete the “hero image” easily. But this is difficult to complete the “all hero image”. Because if i buy tomes too soon and too high, I cannot complete that quest, cuz “all hero image” also increase either, they are godly strong and undefeatable. But if i dont buy tomes, I will become so weak. Hence, I easily die , and also cannot get the ring of supority or the lightning sword. So what can I do? Can you show me the tactics how to play it better? I usually dont play -random cuz I can handle it.

Well, for I don’t usually bother about the ‘all hero image’ quest, because you don’t really get much from it. 100 stats is nothing in late game and you could easily reach it by buying tomes. However, I did manage to win the ‘all hero image’ quest before in late game, you just have to try to knock out the right hero first. They are some heroes that will heal himself and other heroes. So get him down first.

And how many players that is suitable for playing that map? Which player that you recommend that I can use? What is “compound players” that you recommend? Could you please anwer for me those questions? Thank you so much.

I think you should just play with as many friends there are. As far as I know, two players playing can be quite fun too. Just get some nice friends and no leavers and you’ll have a great time.

Sorry for bothering you.But I have some more questions.

When is suitable for complete the task “Spirit Beast” and “Frost Inferno”? Is it necessary to complete “all hero image” or I can ignore it? And how to kill “Spirit Beast”, “Frost Inferno”, or get “the ring of supority” and “the lightning sword” easily?

There is no exactly answer for this, I think everytime I play X Hero Siege, I’ll play things differently. You should probably try to get the Spirit Beast and Frost Inferno before the 2nd stage of the game.(before Magheridon…Can’t remember the spelling). Pump you heroes will tomes and when you are confident enough, you can try the Spirit Beast and Frost Inferno. I must admit some heroes are more effective than others but thats up to you to try it out.

If there is any more question feel free to ask me and I hope I have given you what you wanted to know. Cheers and have fun gaming !!

I have received a lot of request for this file. So here it is. Enjoy the game but do note that I downloaded this map when I was playing the Battle.net. So I can’t really confirm if this is the original X Hero Siege. Nevertheless, there are new stuff here. So give it a try and do note the disclaimer. Enjoy !

Download X Hero Siege 3.14

I logged on to Battle.net the other day to play some custom games. Thats, way I found version 3.14 of X Hero Siege and realized its finally out ! I was always waiting for a new version of it, where the fix most bugs and add new stuff and probably new heroes. Okay, I decided to join that custom game but the people there weren’t so good. A rather quick loss.

In the end, SlackoGamer decided to host the game with many loyal players that was surprised by the new version. I was quite lucky to random Ghost.(btw, for those who don”t now, Ghost can only be chosen through the random mode). I did pretty well in the game, managed to stay top on the kills scoreboard. But was very very dissapointed of my mistake in the 2nd round of special level. The on which you get to kill loads of creatures and gain huge amount of money. Normally I would have made 1000k but today, I died. It was very bad because of that I couldn’t kill much during the game. Anyway, I did have some fun and so check out some of the screenshots below if you are interested. I didn’t have the time to put all of it here.

So what are the changes that I noticed ? Not much, the game is pretty much the same. There are new items at the item shop. Healing wards, Spell immunity and Potion of Invulnerability. There is a kind of warning system now when your town is being attacked. And probably some other change which I didn’t noticed.

Try it out today !!!
