Autohost Broken Alliances
Link to map: https://www.wc3maps.com/map.php?id=7566
Load Code: lf7rz
Slot layout: N/A
Number of players: 12
Problems with map: Minor bugs, map developer periodically patches
Why the map should be autohosted: I used to host it myself but have since lost interest. There is still a sizeable number of players interested in keeping it going and they have been aggregated in both Facebook and Discord groups (prox 500 folks, a tenth of which are on usually on during peek hours). It seems to have been a fairly popular map over the years, a few weeks ago before the patch we were doing approx 35-50 games / day.
Special notes: I can give you ROC/TFT CD keys if that is a problem. I had messaged arty a few weeks back about it maybe being cool for ent to provide a read-only data api exposing w3mmd / gameplayer data etc but did not get a response. That way interested folks could potential make game-specific stats/scoring systems but obviously that is not mandatory.

Doesn't BA have it's own dedicated autohost bot already? I know that was the case in the past.

Re: Autohost Broken Alliances
Oh okay. Then absolutely !support this since I know it fills.
If it were to be hosted on ENT would there be a way to get the word out ? It would be a shame if players were lost in transition.
Also, I recommend you get members of the community to come support the suggestion here to demonstrate the continued activity of the map.

Re: Autohost Broken Alliances
Excellent, I will post the thread in the Discord and FB so people can get involved. As for getting the word out, obviously we will post it and word of mouth etc. I will also keep the current bot up for a few days after the ENT one is setup with a lobby message indicating that we have moved to ENT with the new botname and such. I would also just turn off the start conditions so it won't start games or anything so everything gets played on ent.
Re: Autohost Broken Alliances
Excellent news!! If any new player wants to try ba, join Broken alliances discord page and i would be able to play with any new comer!
Cheers!!

Re: Autohost Broken Alliances
Best map ever created. I heard game industry paid anders 57billions dollars so it doesn't become a standalone as it would have kill the video game market.
Sadly Anders wont be able to host his bots in his newly private Island, probably too busy with his hookers.
BA has a very strong core of players that played the game for 10+years that will garanty a minimum activity. Even people who stopped come back to play some games time to time.
It needs some games to understand the basic mechanics and enjoy fully the game, ill be glad to "teach" new comers too if i meet some.
I'm sure BA will shine on ENT if it has the opportunity to! thx guys

Re: Autohost Broken Alliances
Hi,
I support having ENT host BA. This game is just too much for any of us 8 year+ players. Although there are some slow nights (mostly NA 6-10pm), activity triples in European hours. You shouldn't have any problem with games starting once we effectively communicate the new home of BA auto hosting.
Cheers!

Re: Autohost Broken Alliances
hope it works out this time on the ent bot. its a good map with the years it existed would be such a shame if it would have no bot to host on
sucks that the patch of blizzard broke alot of stuff+made it irritating to playin fullscreen then before hopefully that also gets fixed fast really hate the smaller screen due to the added side panels.

Re: Autohost Broken Alliances
I have play WC3 for like twelve years and Broken Alliance is literally the GREATEST play mode.
