How long would it take?

Lets say with a team of 5 people, how long would it take to code a Conquer DoTA map? :D good idea right? i have an idea of how it'll work but i have no clue how to have monsters attack only certain things and having them follow i path. ;) anyone willing to take this up?

Hmm giving estimates on something like that is very hard, however the idea is very achievable. I kinda like it acctually.

not long, just takes 1 person that knows what they're doing.

I'll add this to my todo list.
The monsters n stuff shouldn't be hard, I find the real challenge in making a map.

just another idea, terato dragon and other bosses could be added as neutral monsters :D

This is exactly what Trigorio told me yesterday lol
But terato is too big to be a neutral we can use it as a Roshan

this could be a good map for the dota:

It's good, but not good enough, we'll have to create a map from scratch.

If i recall correctly, CO maps are small squares for each coord right? thats going to take forever to make lol unless theres a macro or something that cuts up the picture and saves each as file haha. but i guess using simple grass textures would be good at first then adding trees to create pathways, but i have no experience in making maps haha should this be easy?

they are not made as small sqaures.
They are just splitted up in small sqares.
like if you do a tileset, then you can got one big picture and split it up in many or with sprites.

it will take a bit of time ill guess if from scratch

true xD
i didnt mean 5mins as "real 5min".
I meant it like some are fast to do things and others are slow.
