[Eye Candy] Gold Mines

[0verp0wer_BR]

Goldmines

Do you have any idea where does the gold/sec you gain come from? Maybe some "mysterious" sponsor?

• Current
• Suggested

No visual at all. I bet the Tree of Life produces golden fruits or smth...

Sentinel

Scourge

Here's where your gold come from, bro

• The mines stay behind the fountain, since there's lots of free space there
• Entangled Gold Mine for Sentinel, Haunted Gold Mine for Scourge
• Wisps and Acolytes gather gold without moving away from the mine, so no traffic
• Mine and "peons" are invulnerable
• The pics are only sketches, the area around the mines can and WILL be better when made by Icefrog himself.

Er... why it was closed?

Anyway, T-Up

[Swiftkick]

I approve.

[Sdonourg]

T-Up, looks awesome.
And neutral gold mine near rd-circle would be good.

[0verp0wer_BR]

@ NoThInG
It was closed due to confusion with another thread suggesting to replace Ancient/Slaughterhouse with Gold Mines.

Clearly shows where the flow of gold is coming in to both factions, which is completely sensible. The placement of these goldmines will require removing trees though right?

100% support!

Removing trees is always good for any non-melee map.

T-up

I'd like to think of a real purpose for these kinds of things. They're fun to look at but it would be really interesting if they had a reason in game terms.

Something like the following?: http://www.playdota.com/forums/45213...dd-gold-mines/

Like if the gold-mine is destroyed, gold income is reduced to nothing? Anyways, thats off topic , but i'm just letting you know that something similar to what you stated exists

^The Suggestion pointed out by this thread was the reason for my old one to get closed.

But, as you may see, that sugg and my one aren't the same, even that I've posted in that thread with some ideas and stuff...

It's open to the community to choose:
1. Add mines behind the Fountain as Eye-Candy (my sugg)
2. Replace current buildings with Gold Mines (the other one)
3. No Gold Mines at all.

Edit: Fixed thread reference

Support #1

Anyways, those two topics are different; yours is purely comestic and the other one was purely related to game-play. It just doesn't make sense that yours got closed ...

[Ali Radicali]

Doesn't this belong in visuals if the mines are invulnerable?

[0verp0wer_BR]

^That's a good question, indeed.
Shall report and ask about it...

[Foede]

Since this suggestion will not have any effect on real gameplay, I think this belongs in visuals. Moved.

EDIT: On-topic: T-Up, some eye candy can't hurt, and it would kinda explain where does the periodical gold comes from.

[B.M.K.]

T-up!

[supaplecs]

why not ? I like it

[infer]

lmao t-up, i though i did t-up this before btw

[Ez_Mystery]

awesome eye-candy

[dominator02]

Suggested this before and T-UPed it and again.

[SUperPhat]

Great idea, looks very very nice, shows where the gold IS actually coming from. If only we could add like a yellow +2 or whatever number of gold you are getting per second for even better results.
