Dday: Revolution

Content

Terrain

After years of battle, Dday Judgement grounds have been bombarded with nuclear bombs, magic spell effects to the point the grounds broke up. One day all the demi-gods come together and restored the land's original state. The shape is the same as it was but now it looks more natural, with trees, smooth hills and natural environment. The design was created by Gilles.

Loading Time and Screen

The waiting time for each battle has been improved. It probably was the most annoying thing in DDay: Judgement was too long loading time (more than two minutes). In DDay: Revolution Edition, the map’s loading time is around 15 seconds.
Loading screen contains concept art image created by Mikael Ohlund especially for Dday, old fans of the map can see on the image well-known heroes Lich King, Illidan, Panda Brewmaster, Blake, Archimonde, Warden and Admiral Proudmoore.

Triggering

After years of struggling with bugs and messy codes, the Editor of Revolution, Markone, redesigned the triggers from scratch in regular JASS (90% approximately). With this design and coding, it will help the editor update map faster, easier to debug and organize.

Skins/Models

Skins of all custom-skinned heroes are remade and will continue to remake, from scratch and they are more detailed, better suit than it’s predecessor versions. This first Public Beta Version (P.B.V.) map contains a few remade skins (for now Moooren, Cyber Priest and Blake) and their creators will be mentioned in Credits section.
Since there are no custom-modeled heroes in this first P.B.V., there are no models except realistic models of trees and animated grass.

Heroes

There were 82 heroes in last version of Judgement (20.0fe). Since this is first P.B.V. we created only 12 heroes (on each side 6); 2 agility heroes (1 melee, 1 ranged), 2 strength heroes (1 melee, 1 ranged) and 2 intelligent heroes (1 melee, 1 ranged). Heroes are remade, their look and spells now fit more to them.
Holy Force heroes: Illidan Stormrage, Tyrande WhisperWing. Jim Raynor, Mercury (Cyber Priest), Moooren and Moonblade.
Damned Force heroes: Blake, Prince of Legion, Mal’Ganis, Archimonde, Buzzdook and Zuhx.
In following versions DDayTeam will work on remake on the rest of heroes and after careful balancing job, we shall put them in the map.

Hotkeys and Description (Tooltips)

Hotkeys are changed and they are in QWER style. We decided to go with this design to give the players quicker access to their spells/skills. For instance, if the first spell of the hero is Cow Stomp the hotkey is Q, if you want to cast ultimate you will press R as fourth button.
Revolution’s tooltips is really a revolution if we compare it with Judgement’s. First of all these, in Revolution, gives more information (cooldown, type of spell or item, it’s effect and of course description) and they are well-organized.
