Thanks to testers on AM server. You helped me a lot to polish map.

There are many EXTREMELY op combos available to vampires.
Bypass Wall Exploit:

1. Get scanner sweep.
2. Get DT.
3. Get a scroll of town portal.
4. Scan edge of player's cliff, preferably from the back.
5. Blink DT.
6. Town portal to the DT.
7. Kill supply depots, houses, workers, research, and then call the human a nub.
8. Get out of there the same way you cam in, or kill the weak hp towers for more feed.

This can be done within 30 minutes of the game, and is repeatable as the only thing you need is a dt, town portals are cheap. NO ONE CAN SMOTHER THEIR BASE WITH DETECTORS 30 MINUTES INTO THE GAME. Unless you have the tiniest base ever, there will be a ledge where your detector will not reach. This, combo'd with a few quite op invulnerability potions allow you to win even against the most experienced users. Also, making a feed box just encourages people to feed the vamp when they know they're doomed.

Firstly, thank you for porting this!!! I have been looking for this for ages!

For some reason, I cannot seem to detect the DTs with a stalker, I do not know why. He might have been killing my workers via some other mean that I do not know of though.

Blink to Dark Templar and Zergling will be fixed in next version. Vampiric sphere will be fixed too. It's must increase stats of all vampires on map, not only original vampire.

Stalker can detect DT. Just check replay, may be you will see what was wrong.

Yeah, me and my bros impene base was broken into by teleporting to a kerrigan...

Other than that, great map <3

This was present in the original Vampirism Beast and it really is not that big of a deal to stop. The only thing that is wrong with this map is the rather high skill curve that is needed for a vampire to be effective in comparison with human players. I just find that when I am a vampire in the 10-15 minute mark, it is very hard to get a steady income to make effective items; while the human players at that time, have very powerful walls and defenses that make it suicidal to confront head on( Because you really have no other choice).



Other than that, I think the map does a great job in bringing a great game from Warcraft 3: Frozen Throne to the Starcraft 2 community.

Just an FYI, the map description doesn't make any sense

Is there a way to prevent vampires from teleporting into the back of your base and @*@#@% you besides making defenses everywhere?

vamps are really underpowered in this game, there need to be some tweeks where vamps can get stronger when totally lockout of a base. Plus blinking with no cooldown makes catching scvs difficult

The Town Portal is a global spell that allows the Vampire ABSOLUTE access to the human base. All that is required is vision of the human base and a Town Portal Spell, of which they can easily get. You must remove the ability or the item or the effect.

WHY: The spell just drops the vampire in there. If the town is blocked enough, that doesn't work either. It places the vampire, "thunk", on the town. Death...

SCV's are supposed to be able to get away.
+ It's the only way they can make it to a base in time.

nah vamps are really underpowered in this game all the human needs to do is steal game and kill the vamp before they can buy the rare items kind of sucks really

DT and town portal are cheap. Can't kill when your base is destroyed every 3 minutes.

Vamps can't win at all against any decent players. Their armor just doesn't increase enough to deal enough damage, and majority of the bases don't even have space for DTs to run through the wall and tp into the base.

Edit: Gonna play another game and see the DT stats.

I saw a handy trick in a recent game: Buy a roach asap and send it to the slayer level up area. If you do it fast enough you will shut down all slayer leveling for quite a while.

just played a game recently as humans, (been playing the game a while now and am pretty pro on both sides) the light towers seem to be really OP. A level 3 light tower can simply one or two shot a vamp with a vampiric belt at the 30 minute mark. The only way i survived it as vamp was using the protective bottle but that only last a short time.

It seem the tower ignores armor completely and the highest version is only a 40k upgrade as opposed to some of the late game towers which prove to be much less effective at their cost. So please make a change to fix this tower

dammit stayed up all night playing this map now im tired as !@#$ at work...

The only thing that sucks about this map is when you become a vampire midway through the game..no gas and all the humans are built up already you can't do anything and most people just leave.

nice update to the towers, those were the only thing i worry about late game when im forced to bide my time
