The new heroes are in test stage so there will be a lot of changes.

I think EU version gets updated right after NA update. If it didn't get updated,
it'll probably be updated after some tweaks.

City of Tempest is awesome
I havent played anything else for the last two months

One of the reasons i started playing it over the other customs:
When i tried SOTIS, people kept asking me to leave
Playing so called "OP" heroes like Genesic Hunter, i was able to get an occasional kill by catching someone by surprise and it got me addicted
It just plain out rocks with the variety of heroes and styles of play

However, City of Tempest should definately NOT be on the second page of customs

We need to grow the game (or grow the sport)
We need more NOOBs to continue playing the game

That will ensure more games, more variety, less waiting, and eventually, more high level play

Some tips to grow the sport:

DO NOT TRY TO GO 27-0
what the #%@$ is the point of killing Noobs like that?
Does that take skill?
Anyone who brags about going 27-0 shows that he doesnt understand that any experienced player in any game can easily beat up on Noobs, much harder to go 10-5 against an experienced player
Try doing that against a player like GhostPanda who constantly whips my #%@$
Please, for the sake and future of the game, do not beat up on Noobs
There is no glory in killing someone 5 levels below you
It only discourages them to play again

INSTEAD OF KILLING NOOBS, GIVE THEM A TIP OR TWO
It takes a few seconds
I became addicted to the game 2months ago
I invited all my friends to start playing
Now when someone invites me to play ladder/WOW/etc, im inviting them to play City of Tempest

TRAINING A NOOB
when a friend wants to try it out
i start up a custom game with just both of us (or with another friend or two)
I tell them to pick an easier player like Genesic Hunter
I give them easy instructions:

The first screen alllows you to pick a hero
Go to lower left corner and pick Genesic Hunter

As soon as the game starts, go to right lower corner and use your one mineral to level up your mana (or you can just press tab R)

Then go to your lane (if you start left, go left lane, if you start right go right, if you start middle go middle)

Hit the first green capsule you see for experience

Then start hitting the marines to level up

First level up your mana to level 5. Each time you level up you get 2 minerals.

After that level up your attack x2

When you hit level 7 level your ultimate power Rampage Mode

Leveling up

Use your AOE attack to kill marines and also near clumps of green canisters

Killing marines or green canisters gives you experience to level up to 25, and also gives you gas

You only get experience with a kill, so hit stuff that is red and almost ready to die

Spending gas

Go to the Shop upper or lower corners
Gas buys things like

Mana regeneration for 750 gas
Do this with your first 750 gas. Increased mana means more spells means quicker levelling

Increased mana for 500 gas

Do both of those several times then can upgrade attack, shields, speed, etc depending on what you need for your opponent


Healing

Healing stations upper or lower corners
Always heal when your icon turns red
better to waste a few seconds going to heal vs giving your opponent a kill, gas and experience

There is also a more advanced tutorial from Deken

Cheers and enjoy helping me grow the sport

Eleven-

I think it really depends on your hero on what to spend your gas on (and what skills you've invested in). Personally, I prefer the Attack Upgrade with my first 800 gas (which will let you start destroying the experience boxes and trucks much more quickly, and a lot easier to harass your laning opponent as well if you have decent range). After that, keep in mind to have a health and mana potion in case you end up fighting, get shields and health if they are one shotting you, and mana regen when you start to attack the enemy barracks.

Smoke grenade makes you (if u are inside the smoke) take 50% less damage from
ranged attacks, including skills. (no effect against melee) Also i believe if you smoke bomb
turrets or firing buildings, their attack damage becomes 50% too. I'm not quite sure if it
changed..

I'm really thinking about making a web site for this game but i barely have time these days
Need some forums for guides, patch notes, and all that stuff. It's hard to see in tl forum thread
like this.

Also we should maybe organize a small tournament just to gather people and play for fun.
There probably is a lot of good players by now, just need to organize an event and see.
