***World Craft Neo*** v.3.0
This map is 4 player ffa style strategy spell casting battle. (128 x 96)
It resembles "MTG" style maps. If you have played an MTG, then you will see
what I am talking about
This map has a lot to read, if you don't have patience, this map might not be your kind of thing. On with the details:
- 4 races: Goblins / Ogres / Elves / Dwarves
- Each race has different spells, summons, magical effects, etc
- Each race has a Hero unit with its own unique powers/effects
- There are 12 mercenary units which all races have access to
- Mercs are tough, kick ass, and each have their own auras/effects
- There are 7 artifacts & 7 scrolls which each race has access to
- Artifacts will speed up income, and other various effects
- Scrolls have different magical effects on game play
- Income in this map works off 2 methods
- Gas = Mana (primary income) which will auto accumulate every 15 secs = +1 gas
- Zen = Kill score (secondary) money needed as well as gas to buy the rare stuff
- Of course you will find other ways to get fast Mana/Zen (gas/kill score)
- *Minerals* (Dwarf race only) third kind of money, which has select uses for Dwarves
Another aspect of this map is battling for control of the middle area
- Middle is made up of 2 invincible cannons & 4 burning pylons
- If you bring enough units to the middle (depend on race), you gain its control
- Controling middle is good (+3 gas every so often) hence speeding things up
- If another player controls the middle, just clear him out, then you can take it
Final aspect of this map is the Timer
- These kinds of maps can drag on sometimes...
- Timer is set for 1 hour and 5 mins
- If you have not killed off your opponets by time end
- The winner is the player who controls the middle area
- You can always speed up your victory by killing the enemies "Home Base"
Basic out look of map
- Kings are your casters, they will do most of the activations (you can get more)
- Each base is in one of four corners of the map
- Each activation is represented by a beacon and unit describing the spell
- Information can be found at yellow beacons
Hint for new comers to the map
- Kill the yellow egg in your base for a quick 1 min (7 page) tutorial which will show
you around your base and help get you started on what to do, and whats going on.
- If you have never played an MTG style map, this might take a few attempts to understand it
If you have read this far..... You may just enjoy this map
I am looking for help, balancing this map, please let me know if you have any ideas for improvement, or anything at all
- Keep an eye out for updates if you like this map, I may need to adjust a bit more,
but things seem fairly balanced now.
Enjoy!
