MEDIUM (in-map) DESCRIPTION: Hero-based action-rpg instance now with camera modes and custom tiles -- each team must try to overthrow Sothis then keep crown until end.  That is the "normal" ending, and there are also special ending events for when the ending isn't "normal".

FULL WEB DESCRIPTION:
Factions is a Hero-based action/rpg instance with auto-cam and custom SANDSTONE tiles -- each team must try to overthrow the king then keep crown for 1 minute.  There is creep respawn and a max hero level of 99.  This is based on one of my previous maps.  If you make a mod, branch by naming with extra version dot i.e. 1.21.1 and so on, and notify and credit author.  If you want to try the map as single-player, you'll probably want give yourself and other team comps.
		
-KotH (hold crown for enough time to win)
-Uprising minigame and other creep events
-Hero pick system: Fighter, Amazon, Heavenly Messenger, Maverick, Ranger, Marine, Inuit, Hunter
-You will be revived at base or safe zone when you die unless the KotH countdown has started.  When the KotH countdown has started, death is permanent and Victory is at end of countdown for the last holder of crown.
-I have done mild customization and retouching of hero and ability icons and names to fit the feel of the map.  There are also ability triggers for high-level heroes to have better healing.
-Delete "Circle of Power (Teleporter, white) ____" in versions above 1.22:

Known Issues:

-Save/load may not be perfect -- Vars to check:bPicking unitgroupChoosers icreepeventlevel
unitgrouparrTeam unitgroupAllPLAYERHEROES; other TODO:remove chooser,
save gold, save lumber, save items, whether summoner lurker of team
dungeon entrance was killed, add creep spawn from summoner lurker if
hasn't been attacked in ten secs limited using a unitgroup count & do
same for bosses creating boss for each floor as needed,

1.27
-Sothis is now a hero, so level can really be set in the function where it was attempted in previous version.
-Fixed bug where specialfxCrown variable was set to last created effect (in PreInit) before creating it in PostInit (possibly resulting in crown not being removed from Sothis after defeating him).
-Set Level cap to 99 so that Sothis' level can be increased beyond 20 (and because it's more fun)
-Created line of pathing blockers across entire map at top of "overworld" area, to try to fix pathing glitch where units would get stuck at north side of overworld (seems to be fixed--The Uprising climax works now).
-Fixed bug where camera was panned for no players, because was using "Picked Player" instead of Player(Integer A)
-Fixed bug in "Ending Crown Stealer or Uprising" (fireworks) where camera should be panned to regionF7 	but was panned to Center of Playable Map Area 
-Make F4 boss barricade vulnerable before kill&remove, to try to fix bug where after defeating F5 boss they stay (& you can target them) though you can walk through them.

1.26
-Remove "camera" help tip and intro screen instructions (command was already removed in a previous version)
-Moved cameras from roof (where throne room used to be) to inner chamber area
-Made more space around throne
-Increased custom map preview to 256x256 resolution
-Blocked area between farm and upper area, to fix pathing issue where units went there when trying to get to inner chamber (after getting F5 shortcut) 
-Made Sothis easier to reach
	-To balance Sothis being accessible to regular attacks, upon reaching Sothis, his level is set to combined level of all heroes on largest team, +1.
		--doesn't really work yet since he is a Unit not a hero.

1.25
-Fixed possible mapcrashed (never happened (?)) by increasing all player arrays to 17 (since player indeces can go up to 16 in TFT
-Hero must enter final area before summoned units attack final boss (fixed bug where only owl scout was disallowed; now checks by "Is a Summoned Unit")
-fixed BIG bug where during pick, chooser movement is redirected to seemingly random hero, because game thought it was a hero going to a teleporter in the dungeon (was using old UNUSED Chooser as unit comparison type for preventing redirect)
-added new "-load game" and "-save game" commands (mostly working)
-changed my handle to BesideTheVoid and my website to besidethevoid.com
-new fork of 1.22 since 1.23-1.24 unprotected versions were lost. Sorry!  I no longer believe map protection is a good idea, which intentionally damages map and is always reversable (at least JASS script which I don't need to invest my time on), so don't worry about it happening again.

1.21

1.14
-New pyramid layout with separate paths for each team until Floor 4 boss
