Okay, so you know how in Ghost there is going to be a capture the Factory mode? Well, I decded to bring that into starcraft! You must play it to have fun! How is the terrain? It is alright? Tell me if you find any errors, or HUGE faults. How do you like it on a scale from 1-10?

So you finally finished it eh? I got alot of pointers for you though. First off...you should do something like this to "advertise" for your map.

Map Name - Factory
Players - 4
Computers - 1
Map Size - 96x96
Game Type - (Mass, rpg, click/arena, etc.)
Objective - Capture the factory and retain control of it for 1 minute.
Description - A free for all map where everyone fights over the command of a factory. Based on a capture the flag/hoard game styling. You can build small armies where your units are free and fast to build. Each player has a leader (kerrigan) and starts with a small war party. Rush to the middle of the map to gain control of the factory and fly it back to your flags and protect it for one minute to win!

BUT DO IT IN COLOR (it looks better)

also, i just played the game and won in about 2 minutes...maybe you should make a way that nobody can get the factory for a long time or make the waiting time longer than only 1 minute so that there is actually fighting over the factory. my opponents didn't even have time to attack me to get it back. besides that, it was fine. i guess if you want a rating on the game ill give it like a 3/4 because it was so fast...but if you increase time to hold factory to like 10 minutes or something then i would give you like 6/7. its not bad or glitchy (i didn't really have time to find out though lol happy.gif ) but it is a little boring. maybe like start with a bigger army so there is big fight at the beginning?

Well, i have changed the time for the factory holding, the units have been decreased in build time, and I have put in the upgrades too, like lockdown, and stim packs. So, what is this "Advertising" you speak of?

Good! Maybe you should do something like have them mining? It's all up to you, it would just add more to the game strategy. Like maybe, they mine so they can upgrade or something i don't know

Veritaserum, please stop posting this.

You don't have to have it all fancy or anything, and that's not even commenting the map.

EDIT: Downloaded.

I played it by myself to see what it is. It seems like a map someone would of made 4 years ago. It seems like an old fashioned piece of work. Not saying its bad, its just old. I bet it could be fun with four, though.

This was the first time i did. And i meant like...have a description. I don't mean like different colors and stuff, i dunno why i put that. But like, i wouldn't really wanna look at his map if i hadn't already helped him with some problems because he didn't even say what his map was. thats all i meant.

What do you mean old fashioned? I am an 'old fashioned' mapmaker. Thats my style. I liked things like protect Kirby, and I think it was called Atomic madness. I am an oldschool gamer, only i dont know what the ironman contests were. Oh, also a day at school. That was fun. I dont know any good new UMSes. The old ones are always more fun, because they actually have strtegy. No mass attack, or just senseless killing. Except for atomic madness. That was fun. I remember the KILL BARNEY map series. Yes, I like playing it.

EDIT: Okay, here are the updates to the map. I posted it as an attatchment. Just download it and play it. Tell me if there are any bugs.

Meh, I still don't like it. It is nothing new and seems like a map that has been made 4 years ago. I guess it would be alright if you played with your friends, but I just think the layout is bad.

I know what you mean, but frankly, your map doesn't take any skill either. Just build as much as you can. Also, my map takes strategy and i just finished it like a month ago, i bet you can't beat level 1 without my help. Im just telling you that there are new maps that ARE good. (im not trying to brag or anything i just think my game is fun)

Then what you said about new maps means absolutely nothing because really bad ones suck no matter how old they are...

wow some weird conversation you guys got going around there.. but i gotta say old map makers do sometime make better maps but half of them are like real bad.

i mean i donno when dbz storyboard was made but that seems like it was made like a long time ago however i gotta say thats better then the other dbz style map they got around... but i gotta agree old maps are kinda lame in many sence

i mean new maps have a lot more stuff you can do then old ones which make it better.

then that must mean that new map makers must also make better maps sometimes.

Yes he is talking to you...if you looked at the date we talked about that like 3 weeks ago. Also, please don't call any of the dbz maps map makers...they aren't...they are just noobs that want to rig dbz to hell. Every new one i have played is absolute crap except for dbz All Sagas
