What is Rival Nations?
Rival Nations is a UMS or Custom map made for Blizzard Entertainment's Warcraft III. Rival Nations was the first map to incorporate 3 way, FFA style play into the very popular Aeon of Strife format. The Nine players (three per team) each select Heros to control and assist the computer controlled town units. As the heros kill enemy units they receive some gold with which to buy items, various mercenaries and even hire additional heros. Click here to view an overhead image of the map. | |
What features make Rival Nations better than your average map?
The three way Free For All style combat makes for very unpredictable play and it keeps every game fresh. You can never tell when your going to be double teamed, but when it happens you get a much higher sense of urgency. Rival Nations also has a unique bounty system, where you are rewarded gold for killing enemy heros. But the amount of gold is calculated and updated throughout the game based on the player's skill level. You also have complete control over your towns upgrades, selecting to upgrade melee attack, or ranged armor, or even make your buildings more resistant to attack and war technologies. You are also given access to Trainer Mercenaries which can be used to train additional troops for you town. When you save up enough gold you have a few choices on how to spend it, including powerful items at the center shop (guarded by dragons), additional heros, upgrading your town, or siege weapons and powerful mercenaries... and many more.
| |
How do I install the map?
Place the map into your Warcraft III\Maps\Download directory. DO NOT RENAME THE MAP. | |
Can I modify the map?
No the map is protected to prevent multiple unauthorized versions of the map. The map is already in the range of 400 Kb and I don't want people to have to either download the map or wait for someone else to download it every time they want to play a game. If however you have questions about how I did some effect or aspect of the game feel free to contact me.

***** Game Questions *****
|
|
What is SE? What's the difference between that and the Pro version?
SE stands for Special Edition. Rival Nations [SE] is a special version I created for RN that has custom heros similar to maps like Valley of Dissent, and Vale of Dreams. Everything else should be the same between the latest Pro and SE versions.
| |
Where can I buy multiple heros?
There is a shop in the woods near the back of your town that looks like an Alter of Heros. There is a clearly marked path leading to it and you buy a hero like you buy an Item or a Mercenary from the alter (Move a hero up to it and buy the footmen). This will give you a Rising Champion unit in the hero selection area that you started in and you can then select and additional hero. However due to balancing issues you cannot get the same type of hero twice. | |
Where can I get powerful items?
All items are useful but maybe not in every situation, the most powerful items are located at a shop in the center of the map that is guarded by dragons.
| |
|
How can I get more food?
In the upper right corner there is a farm which when selected has an upgrade option for a larger farm, similar to upgrading towers in a TD map. Each farm upgrade will increase your food supply by 15 up to a maximum of 80.
| |
Where is the best place to make gold?
The best place to make gold is right out of tower range of an enemy's center barracks. Double the amount of troops come out of a center barracks, however this is also the most dangerous spot on the map as enemy heros can come at you from behind or the front, OR they can cut off your troops near your base, halting your reinforcements.
| |
What are the mercenaries good for?
There are two types of mercenaries, the standard units including Golems and Catapults which are both excellent siege weapons and the Peasant which can be used to build defenses or repair current structures, AND you have trainer mercenaries which can increase your towns troop output and add special caster units to your army.
| |
How do I get the lich?
There are two hints that I can give to help you find the secret Lich hero. First you cannot get him as the first or even the second hero. And secondly that once you see the message "can you find the secret hero?" you are almost there and you can probably coast until the lich appears. | |
|
***** Game Mechanics Details *****
|
|
How does the bounty system work?
Bounty is awarded in gold when you kill an enemy hero and is based on the owners skill or rating. If you kill a high rated player's hero you will get a big award, if you kill a low rated hero you might get less than a regular unit is worth.
Here are the details for how it is calculated:
+5 pts for each enemy unit that you kill
+50 pts for each level a hero that you own gains
+100 pts for killing an enemy hero that is carrying an ankh
+200 pts for killing a hero that does not have an ankh (perma-kill)
-25% for letting a hero you own die who is carrying an ankh
-50% for letting a hero you own die WITHOUT an ankh
+75% of the enemy's bounty in gold when you kill an enemy hero who was carrying an ankh
+100% of the enemy's bounty in gold when you kill an enemy hero who was NOT carrying an ankh
negative bounty is taken AFTER the gold is awarded
| |
How does the upgrade system work?
You can buy "upgrades" from the Castle Workshop in each town. After an upgrade is purchased it will need to be researched, and when the research is complete your town's units will improve. Your town can also only research one upgrade at a time, but you can queue up as many as you like. Upgrades become more expensive however and take longer to be researched.
| |
What do the War Technology, Munitions, Magic, Animal Discipline and War Machines Upgrades do?
The War Technologies Upgrade researches these technologies ( Lvl1 / Lvl2 / Lvl3 ) : Defend / Long Rifles / Animal War Training.
Munitions upgrade researches Fragmentation Shards, Gyrocopter Bombs (high dmg), and Flak Cannons.
Magic upgrade will increase the skill level of spell caster trainers and give certain units spell resistance as well as give the town the following: enhanced fountains/magic sentry for barracks/feedback for magic guard towers.
Animal Discipline works like a built in trainer and will produce an extra dragon hawk at level 1, an extra knight and level 2, and upgrades the dragonhawk to a gryphon rider at level 3.
War Machines is similar but it will produce a steam tank at level 1, upgrade the flyingmachine into a gunship at level 2, and upgrade the steamtank into a siege engine at level 3.
| |
|
How do trainers work?
Trainers are special mercenaries that you can buy from the Merc Shops located between the bases. Place a trainer unit next to a barracks and it will begin to train additional units.
| |
How does trainer salary work?
Trainer salary is given to the owner of the trainer unit, paid by the Town for training additional troops. This salary is given to the player every 60 seconds and is based on the Trainer type. +30 for a Combat Trainer, +18 for a Magic Trainer and +9 for a Medical Trainer. Note that you will not receive salary if your Trainer is not near a barracks and you will not receive double gold for trainers at a center barracks.

|
Will you ever release an unprotected version of the map?
I have no plans at this point to release an unprotected copy of the map. However I may release an unprotected copy when I am completely done updating the map. | |
What's the history behind Rivals?
It started out as just a basic three way Aeon of Strife map but it has evolved into one of the most popular and fun Aeon/Offensive maps on battle.net
| |
Why did you make this map?
I was sick of the cheats and imbalances of the standard Aeon of Strife maps and I needed something to do. | |
How can I contact you?

Como funciona el sistema de recompensas
La recompensa es ganada en oro cuando matas a un heroe enemigo y esta basada en su nivel de jugador o abilidad. Si matas a un heroe enemigo controlado por un jugador con una puntuacion ganaras una recompensa muy alta.

Estos son los detalles que calculan la recompensa:
+5 puntos por cada unidad enemiga que matas
+50 puntos por cada nivel que un heroe que controlas tenga
+100 puntos por matar un heroe enemigo que tiene un Ankh
+200 puntos por matar un heroe enemigo que no tiene un Ankh(muerte permanente)
-25% por dejar un heroe que controlas morir mientras tiene un Ankh
-50% por dejar un heroe que controlas morir SIN tener un Ankh
+75% de la recompensa en oro de un heroe enemigo por matarlo mientras tiene un Ankh
+100% de la recompensa en oro de un heroe enemigo por matarlo SIN tener un Ankh
