I don't think you will want a 1 hour to make nuke because the game will probably be over before you can eveng get the nuke. Waste of time.

It would be more fun if you could have team V team.

Anyways great map.

Newer version available!

Pretty much the same, but I modified it so you can't win via this really cheesy stratagy that im not telling how to do.

Thanks to Bacde for catching it.

What are you talking about HE found it first? I found it before him!!! It's.. <(o.o)> *sees Bacde with a noose* AHHH NOOO.. DON'T TAKE ME AWAY.... MEMBERS, THE CHEAP STRATEGY IS TO... *gets dragged away by Bacde with duct-tape over his mouth*

Ok but seriously, I'm glad you modified it KhaosKreator; it makes the game more fair. It also makes the game longer. It's more fun for the observers watching the newbs fight! biggrin.gif <(^.^)>

I wish you could make a 2v2 though... I guess it would be too complex, not because of the triggers but because that people may leave making it a 1v2 beatdown. sad.gif Also, it would be horrible to have a newb partner, and you would have to make the missiles weaker because 2-4 missiles going at 1/2 the interval of each player's firing could easily pierce any defense. (If you don't understand what I mean please pm me.)

Anyways, I hope you get any more problems with your game fixed if there is any! <(^.^)>

I loved Metal Marines on the SNES! This is almost exactly like it, only there's spectators and its real timish.
The originality doesnt get much but the fun factor does. smile.gif

Its lame how you get your buildings killed for lifting. And no refund?
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Bacde on 2005-01-23 at 21:13:10
But then you can just lift buildings under attack and save your rescources. I like the way that your buildings are permanent once placed.

i played the game with a friend and loved it! 1 thing that I would add is so that when you make too much of 1 building then you get like a warning like "too many of the specific building" or something. tell us how your grid thing worked!!

Lifting-off makes it so you get no refund, but building over the maximum will pay you back in full.

Also, the grid system is pretty simple, but I'm sure you could find out how in the Map Assistance sub-forum.

Wait!!! My eyes spotted a problem, The Marines aren't able to Change thier gun arm like on the SNES version, plus the missles are supposed to leave rubble that cant be built over untill u clear it, maybe a creep colony or something and u have to kill the colony to clear the rubble (creep).

At least tell us not to lift. I didn't see anything about lifting. When I landed my cc and later wanted to build a comstat but there was no room, I lifted and it was killed. I was pissed lol.

I remember playing this on the SNES. It was pretty fun, though I lost interest in it pretty soon.

I like the 1v1 approach, but no1 on bnet wants to play 1v1 any more.
maybe because of hackers/cheaters w00t.gif .
I first dled it and played it right away, i thought u didnt do 2v2 or 3v3 becuase all the triggers would just be hectec, but you do have a point.
Since theres so much observer slots, give them something insignificant to do such as placing bets at the begining of the game about who will win, and give vision to that players side and partial vision to the other persons side (give vision occaisionally).
Have the player's bets' announced so they feel more significant.

Ps: Yoshi I never got the chance to send you the guy who stole your map.

And also, Ppl's lemme tell you why its 1v1, because he was aiming to make a replica of the real game for snes and the real game IS 1v1

one COULD say yes but there are the downfalls khaos and im Too lazy to make you fix them and u seem to hate me now (W00t!)

i like the idea of Creap coliny that places creep or maby place like a few units that take a few mins to kill so you can build on that space(or jsut be lazy and do what you did)

also add somethign for the newbs (or stupid people) not to lift off the stuff(people can be stupid)

and on a personal matter RAPE!?

also Great work yet again cant wait for you to finish that one map -.^(wont say)

.. time to get yelled at by Khaos on sc peeps tongue.gif

w00t im dead!

No bug with minerals. It was all skillz on P2's part; I just checked the triggers just to make sure. Oni, speak english mofo. You talk without forming sentances in your head.

As for a 2v2/3v3 etc, we've thought of other ideas, but nothing ever came of them.
We're working on lots of other maps such as The Puzzling etc etc. Im sure if there is enough intrest however khaos would grace us with another lighting fast map as the first one was.

Really really nice map. Played it today with my friend (first time playing SC for a while, war3 is great) now i remember why i played this game.

Such a nice map. Hmm well it was both of our first tiem palying but all I did was drop marines ( 4 gold 1 metal) in his base and kill him. Bunkers didnt do anything since i would just move my untsi in there minimum range.

More flaws I found,
-H.Q. is supposed to have "3" lives.
-later in the game this is Heckfully unbalanced.
-Metal marines are too frequent and strong.
-You cant change the gun arm .
-You need some Metal Marine music. wink.gif
-The enemy doesn't constantly send you funny threatening messages.
-You didn't make energy plants. sad.gif
-Add the whole story of the game to the beggining.
-What about the landmines?

Thanks for the input, although most your points are sorta relating the SNES. The HQ did have 3 lives, but was later changed to two to cut game time down. Thanks for the error however.

Unbalanced you'll have to elaborate on since the people are equal. If you mean the massive damage, this is also to cut game time down, and give lots of incentive to "teching". MM are easily killed by ground turrets, but I agree they are quite strong. I have brought this up with khaos before and he doesn't agree.

As for the next four points, the point of the map was to have fun, and not especially emulate the old SNES game because quite frankly, it wasnt that great of a game. As for landminds, I dunno. I don't mind them not being in game, but meh. Perhaps in v1.2

Thanks for all your input, and keep playing. There is a tournament signup in the forum Clan (MC) which I urge everyone to join, its Sat. so GOGOGO. Sorry for length.
