How This Map Came to Be
     This map first started off 2 years ago,  when I was dumbly trying to make the smallest map(64x64) possible to distribute linkin park music freely over bnet. But I hadn't a clue about music compression, or anything else with stereo/mono in staredit wavs. (I would upload it so you could see but its 40+ mb) So I eventually gave up on that and made my map into some sort of RPG/Defense. I had only 2 Modes, Sunken and Ghost Towers (cloaked bunkers with ghosts in them). I added levels and more hero levels and thats where we are now.

Game/Map name
Linkin Park Defense Version number

Gameplay
     20 Different Levels (soon to be 25) will come in and try to destroy what you are protecting, dear old LP Home (please don't laugh, I had no better idea). It has 9999 health so your sure it won't die... ever... or will it?

How to play
     You start off with a chooser in front of you, right now there are only 3 modes to choose from, ghost towers, sunkens and cannons. Feel free to suggest any additional defense modes. After choosing which mode you would like to play in, you take your builder to any corner in the map that hasn't already been taken by another player and start building your defense.

     Most people know how to play because they have already played hundreds of different of defense maps, but sometimes there are some frustrating people that I won't call (you know what) start building anywhere without regard for spawns or other things. And then they get frustrated because they aren't getting any kills and what not. Don't be one of them, read this thread  .

     Anyways, after you've build your defense; take your civilian that you started out with at the protoss heal beacons to the temple where you upgrade your weapons. When you can upgrade you will automatically be notified, you will bring "yourself" to the temple and will be transformed into the next level.

     Use civs at lower bottom center to buy items as in many other defense maps, you may place 2 civs on another player's egg and give civs to them. Try not to use the civs in the lower right, or you may end up banning yourself or someone else on aciddent; unless of course you plan on banning someone .

     If you get ghost towers be sure to upgrade, as some people never do.

Thats pretty much all of the playing instructions .

Defense Levels
Coming soon.

Hero Levels
Civ   0 Kills Invincible 5 Armor 0 dmg
Zealot 0 Kills 1000 hp 100 shields 10 armor 50 dmg
Firebat 25 Kills 1500 hp 15 armor 50 dmg(splash upgrade) +5 each up (at bay)
Marine 100 Kills 2000 hp 20 armor 325 dmg +5 each up (at bay)
Golith 175 Kills  1250 hp 75 armor 500 dmg ground 1000 dmg air
Sniper 250 Kills  4000 hp 200 armor 3000 dmg +5 each up (at bay)

Modes/Races that you can choose
Terran - builds ghost towers (cloaked bunkers with ghosts inside) 50 dmg +15 each up (at bay) Terran race is the easiest
Zerg - builds sunkens fixed attack of 275 (no air dmg) Zerg race is medium
Protoss - builds cannons fixed attack of 175 ground and 350 air Protoss race is hard.
got some mode/race ideas? post here!

Terran race in detail
     The Terran race can build ghost towers at 100 minerals each. They first start out with 1000 minerals to build with or upgrade with. Upgrades cost 5 minerals and each upgrade increases by 5 minerals. Because the Terran race is so easy, you can have upgrades for your hero during the time you are a firebat, marine, and sniper.

Zerg race in detail
     The Zerg race can build sunkens and ONE hatchery. Before you can start building sunkens, you must choose the area where you are building, (top/bottom left/right). After choosing the area on where you are building, a hatchery must be built to provide creep(duh). You must choose carefully however, the hatchery costs 300 minerals and you start out with 300 minerals, if you cancel it, you will not get additional minerals to build another one. Starting at with only 10 drones that build sunkens for free. After the 10 drones are used up, you must buy more for $1 when you receive money for killing at least 10+. The Zerg race cannot upgrade their hero with the bay.

Protoss race in death
     The Protoss race can build pylons and cannons. The Protoss race have no bay, so you cannot upgrade your hero or marines if you buy some. Cannons do weak damage to ground, at only 175, they are only good if you maze. The Protoss race cannot upgrade their hero with the bay just as the zerg race.

You can't judge a book by its cover.

You can't judge a book by its cover.

Does that even make sense?

Anyways, I agree with Snipe. It sounds pretty interesting. I just hope you add the feature to turn on/off the music.

Ok well i tested this, and i see you need a lot of work. There isn't much originiality. The Friends or w/e it was in the middle kept on helping me  . I see you have a good concept i guess but i think that it needs lots of work. I don't see anything likin park about it though . You shouldn't make p1 needed. It just causes problems. Anyways. I hope you do wel on this. I see your on your way. Good luck man.

You can judge a band by its music though

Nix on nu metal...
[right][snapback]241092[/snapback][/right]

You going to add short clips of linkin park music into your map? If you do, that'd be tight 

And no, LP does not suck.

Mini game!
... But nobody's listening, I've got a heart full of chest filled with pain...
...And trash talking started by people just like you...
What is the name of that song?

Linkin Park Defense v.0.46 Beta Released Jun 22 2005
+Fixed problem where when choosing cannon mode only gives you 100 minerals
+Fixed problem where when upgrading to a sniper weapon, the sniper weapon would be given but robot would not be removed; therefore forcing a looping trigger that is amplifed when used with hyper triggers.

First Starcraft Defense map to incorperate defending a building with health, not lives

Umm no it isn't. I have created my own Starcraft Defense map that you have to defend a building, not lives. It's called Lord of the Rings Defense (LOTRDefense) If anyone wants to know what it's like I can get a link for you right here so you can see it: LOTR Defense

And your defense sounds pretty cool, and I would like to test it with you once your ready to do testing, if there are any spots open, because I love Linkin Park's music.

New additions
+New sections added: Terran race in detail, Zerg race in detail, and Protoss race in death.

Thanks for your insight slayer, I removed the first defense that you have to defend a building, not lives. I've never played LOTR Defense, but perhaps I soon will..

Testing will be available soon, in 4 more beta versions when I'm half-way through. Woot! We have another Linkin Park Fan!

Could you be more specific please? P1 not needed  Hmm.. don't see anything linkin park?... How about the Spider mines, did you read the names on yellow?, spawning pool, and of course.... the stasis prison. Did you notice the details? Each one of the band members are named exactly, I checked spelling at least 5 times. Thanks for your feedback

Your welcome Alex. And keep up the good work on your map and don't give into it, I want to see this one.
[right][snapback]241956[/snapback][/right]

Well like. It says P1 needed at the top of your map. What i meant by not much liken park was because all it was is the Spider mins. I tihnk Mil is right, Add some music everytime a level comes out. not a big deal. I don't understand the people in the middle. and i didn't notice Each one of the band members are named exactly. Well just look for stuff. So far though i liked it.
