Ok, i've been gathering idea's from maps i've seen and some from what i've made up. And i chose to put it all into some semi-small team war map.

NOTE :
If some idea's are from something you suggested and or have in the making, i'm sorry.

Thanks.

Although it should be interesting, it looks pretty bland. You might want to add some of the following:

- Interactive Arenas:
* Close/Open Door Switches
* Activate Turrets
* Radar to See Map
* Item Spawn Points
- Health Pack Restores Energy
- Energy Pack Refills Energy
* Teleporters

- Units
* Upgrades
- Hero unit after X Minerals
- Minerals recieved by kills or by protecting energy bases / capture points in the field
- 2 Units at a time, you can hybird them to get something different
* Specials?
- Wraith could drop napalm, long burning fire that sets ground unit hps to 1%
- Vulture could drop oil slowing you, [burrowed unit under you]
- Mercinaries could have flash bangs that blind you randomly

- Moral
* Depending on how your team is doing in the field, you have a group moral
* This sets your starting hp to x% whenever you spawn
* Kills/Deaths Raise/Lower Moral
* Capturing capture points or Destroying Energy Bases affects moral
* Etc, Etc



WOW. I was really bored. It seems like you want to keep it short and sweet, but it seems to team fortres like- so I thought I would brainstorm for fun. Good Luck

Hmmmm...some are pretty good ideas; I have no point for the door switches, but the Item Placement and i was thinking of having it create a radar (comsat) in your base once at least 1 turret is built by you. No need for teleporters. Also health packs and such are also dropped by the Dropship just like Bombs are. I see no point in Upgrades because once someone it like 10+ and everyone else is like 1+ they'll get bored and leave. I can do good with the capturing certain parts of the map, and you gain minerals and such from killing so you can build turrets and repair units and stuff. I don't think i'll need hero's, but i have no use for the Moral suggestions.

Thanks for some good suggestions i'll update main post soon.

Moo!! VA, do something extremely appealing.

Woops, guess I didnt read carefully enough

Less Talk, more create..

What's something that could go in this map and is extremely appealing??

Something original that will blow the minds right out of people ears into strings and we can use them for my pasta dinner tonight.

Your a twisted person Mp3 very twisted. Sounds like awesome map VA good luck mate.

At first, I thought the map was going to be based from the movie called "The Speicalist" Lol, how stuipid of me, I like the ideas. I mostly like the name for the Marines, Medics, Ghosts, and firebats, Mecrenaries, you don't see that in games. You only see that name in RPs.

Sup mr. voidarchon.




Well. looking at this, this will be a "micro strategy/strategic unit usage" map ... at least from what I read... From what the other people have said, I sadly must also admit that it is a little bland. You basicly described what each unit can do normally =P, and that isn't good.













The units basicly do what you explained. There is nothing else added... and all of these things have been done before in different maps. If you said something like the wraith shoots scourge missles or something, or the tanks spawned a guardian over it when it is sieged and a devourer when unsieged, then that would be extremely fun and extremely challenging to create strategies that would work...


When creating a map like this, you shouldn't be able to describe all the strategies involved... it should be a map where you could create multiple different strategies from different units and combinations of units. And possibly having different branches for each type of unit. Such as upgrading the units regularly OR upgrading the units' special abilities like in my wraith shooting scourge thing, you could add an upgrade that allows the wraith to shoot bigger missles like mutas or corsairs.


Like in my defense map. "Trigger_Defense"
The enemies come from 4 different corners of the map. What sets aside my defense from other defenses, is that you can choose how you want to defend. Would you rather use brute force to defend your area? or use Trigger intensive units? In my defense you can choose a "Projectile" defender. This defender can either be brute force (which is simply upgrading his regular attributes 'attack'), or trigger intensive which consists of him using a targeter which fires when moved further then his current range and this targeter can be upgraded in size of the explosion, rate of the fire, amount of ammo per clip, and the type of explosion...




Hope that helps.

I'm not trying to mke this the most advanced map that you can make, it's just going to be a basic strategy/team map, but i can add some of what you said...
