Name: Wolf Packs Alpha
Author: Darkwulfv
Players: 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, 4v4, or 5v5 works best.

Features:
-7 of 12 Unique (not including Pups) wolves, all with at least 2 custom, triggered abilities. (
-Hardworked (but not perfect) terrain with multiple environments
-Highly newb friendly, including a Tips and Hints box for each wolf!
-1 secret wolf to replace your current one with. (Another is coming later)
-Optimized triggers for minimal (if any) lag, all triggering done in 100% pure JASS.
-Ambiance in certain area around the map
-Replayability; with 6 wolves to pick from, strategies can be formed for all sorts of combos!
-Tight-knit teamwork gameplay. Sure, you can solo, but you'll die fast. Trust me. Also, EXP gain will be impaired for both you and your team.
-Scaled-size terrain and units; That means trees that are bigger than the units, not the same size as them. (May be tweaked.)
-Fancy Schmancy tooltips (Thanks Rising_Dusk!)
-5 abilities for each wolf, 2 or more of which are trigger enhanced or based.
-Random events; some serious, some humorous, some do nothing. (Not in there yet)
-Diverse prey for the killing, ranging from deer to dragons to mutants
(More to come, probably)

Gameplay:
You start with a wolf. Everyone picks one, and certain wolves can only be chosen once. Otherwise, you can all have the same or whatever you like. From there, you must scour the forest looking for prey (primarily deer), which keeping yourself alive from the other wolves, deer attacks, hunters, bear raids, dragons on the mountain, and who knows what else. The whole objective is to eliminate the other pack. In order to extend gameplay and offer chances for comebacks, each wolf has a certain number of lives. They are lost as follows:

Every wolf has 8 lives.
-2 for dieing to an enemy wolf/hunter/villager
-1 for Starving, dieing to deer/bears/mutants/dragons, or killing yourself (some spells do damage to yourself =p)

By working together, your team needs to find and eliminate the enemy pack at all costs. However, you can also run onto Dragon Mountain for a challenge (and maybe some special stuff), raid the village for more experience, or just go fishing!


Please, enjoy! Here's my forum if you'd like to post or retrieve more information.

Known Bugs: Yes, there are some bugs.
-DragunWulf's ultimate doesn't exist after learning it. But since few will be getting him, I'm not dreadfully concerned.
-Soloing has no negative side effects. (This is a claim, I've never seen it proven. I've got it set so that soloing gets you far less XP then if you were with your pack.)
