I'm using Marines, Firebats, and Ghosts.
Marines Damage: 1+1 with ups.
Firebats Damage: 4+2 with ups.
Ghosts Damage: 2+3 with ups.

That's all I have so far. Ups have a base of 10, plus 5 more for each up.
First level is probably going to be reavers. What should I have their, and the other units health at? I want the defence to be relitively hard.



EDIT: I'm also going to start with 50 minerals. So like, 1 up and 4 units. Sound good?

A friend said do this: Might want to make Marine start with 1 dmg +1dmg per upgrade. Firebat start with 3dmg +1 per upgrade. Ghost start with 4 dmg +1 per upgrade.

I think starting off minerals too high
and also i think it should be
Marine: 1+1
Firebat: 1+1 (becomes 2+2)
and ghost : 3+3
and starting with reavers in first level seems too over used.
The HP Should be like 75,150,200,250 etc
But it depends on how much minerals / civs u get per kill - round

I didn't get to see your map, I mean like I actually don't really know what your talking about. It's all depends on how you make your map, it wouldn't help if you post those informations unless if you have problems or don't know how to do something.

Der, you don't have to see my map to know what I'm talking about -.-;
I told you the specs on it. It's like every other farken defence out there. You get your unit, you line it up with defensive strats, and you go.

Use unit properties. Also try experimenting with unit stats. Or with lots of minerals or something.

And stim doesn't = twice as much damadge, it = damadge more often

It's differant

If marine is 150 damadge but didn't get upgraded and enemy is 150 armor then rine will only do 1 damadge

With stim it will also do 1 damadge

But if the marine was DOUBLE damadge, 300, it'd do 150 damadge.

So there is a big differance.

Also if enemies have exactly 149 hp and 0 armor, then the marine with the extra damadge won't kill any faster then marine with 150 damadge, but stimmed will kill twice as fast

So keep the differances in mind in order to balance the game-play, don't make the rines suck but don't make them overpowered

Then it will be a lot better game then one that is unbalanced



Just my 2-cents.

Lol. That's all nice to know I'm thinkin about having like... 5 wavs. First one Zerglings with 2/10, 4/10, 6/10, 8/10 then 10/10, You'd get 5 minerals each time, so by the next round, you could have 2 more units plus 5 extra minerals. Or a unit and an up.

Or u can make the same number of units each round but greater HP each level.
Like if the zergling had 100 Hp
Round 1 can be 50 Hp
Round 2 60 Hp
Round 3 70 Hp
Round 4 80 Hp
Round 5 100 Hp

Balancing isn't a easy thing to do. Balancing isn't just damage/health/upgrade. It is also the speed of the units. It'll be easier if you use 1 type of unit for all the levels but with different amounts of health (5%, 10%, 15%, etc.). That way you can concentrate on one type of speed and just have to worry about damage/health/upgrade.

I can balance it myself. It's the triggers that are used for the level switches that are farken me up big time.

zeph. Your upgrades are limited to 255 right? It should be...
Marines: 2 + 1
Firebats: 12 + 1
Ghosts: 8 + 1
( why firebats have more attack? because it's a very low ranged unit. )

Then the ghosts would be rigged. The marines should have a few more attack points.

Maybe if I took half off each and left Marines the same.
So 2, 6, 4.



And what are the triggers for levels?

Go check the tutorials and see if they have it. If they don't I'll tell you the triggers personally. Or you could ask again at this topic.

I was actually looking all over for the trigger setups.
I even cheaked to see if they had a trigger setup for bounds, but they dont. I was considering making one, but I'm not sure how
