Me and devlin are making another map. We have brain stormed some ideas and i hope you understand what we are getting at.
Basically you'd select a missile by unloading a unit of the same name as the missile from your Shuttle. Then, you MC one of the targets (depicted as a "u" on the crappy diagram above) and the missile would shoot to that target killing all the units in its path, or having some other special effect. Also there could be some special levels that require units to be hit twice to be killed (like Trigger Happy D).
And possible missile types would be:
BASIC
1. Scourge - Good for speed, but small 1x1 kill radius.
2. Wraith - Fast missile with a 2x2 kill radius.
3. Science Vessel - Big and fast with a larger 2x3 kill radius.
4. Guardian - Slow and medium sized with a 2x2 kill radius.
5. Battlecruiser - Slow and huge with a 4x4 kill radius.
6.
INTERMEDIATE
1.
2.
3.
4.
ADVANCED
1. Observer (Speed Upgrade) - Kinda fast that creates a bunch of explosions under it as it moves. Has a large 5x5 kill radius. And it can even kill special units (the ones that normally take 2 hits to be killed) with 1 hit.
2. Carrier - Not a killer. This missile just stops all the units it comes across with a 4x4 radius.
I would like some ideas for More missles or anything else.
This will probly be a 3-4 player game
No name yet.
Any UNclearification please ask.

Ok you start off with the ability to pick 5 guys with a dark templar. You will start with i guess an Easyer mode
A medium mode and a harder mode. There will be Three things where you have to choose 2 things. You will get a choice
2 pick 2 guys from the first 1(weaker skillz), 2 from a better 1(ok skillz) and 1 really good 1. Your dark archon
Will spawn under the guys you have chosen. The dark archon will and only a little room to move but will have to
Mind Controll A unit that you pick to kill the enemies. Lets say.. The weaker unit is only 10 Ves gass, it wil
Only shoot say 1 Wraith which could kill maybe 2 guys. Somthing like that. the better once will be able to kill
more. For a better 1 lets say(just putting it out there)
[] <-- Dark Archon
[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] <--- The units You've selected. (i.e. Hydra, Marine, Medic, Zealot)
-------------- <-- Lane
[ o ] <--- Target
If you attack 1 it will shoot Stright. 1 wraith. Or lets say number 2 will shoot like //.
//
//
//
Or it could be Different Attacks.. For example A hydra will shoot 3 Wraiths and go 's s 's
s 's
S=Units. Like i hope that made sense. So thats about all i have and i would Hope to improve this.

For the Intermediate you could do more specials
like
INTERMEDIATE:
1. Three scourges- Fast, kills enemy in 3x1 radius
2. Corsair- Fast and small, stops enemy in 2x4 radius
3. Overlord- Medium, kills enemy in 3x4
4. Corsair and Battlecruiser- Corsair stops enemy in 2x3,and battlecruiser comes behind and kills in 4x4 radius
Thats all i could think of so far.And

Not bad, except those missiles seem like the basic missiles with a larger kill radius. "INTERMEDIATE" is supposed to be a mix of killers/specials.
For example one could be an Overlord (not the speedy hero one) with a 2x2 location around it that only kills 1 unit, but also places some burrowed Infested Terran units on the track to stop future waves of units. Another could be a heat seeker that hunts the unit closest to the end of the track.

There I hope that those three units are good enough for you, if not you can change them. Good luck with the map you guys, as soon as you get some terrain completed, it would be nice to see what this is going to look like.

Hmm not bad. I'll keep the Valk for sure.
Unfortunately the Dropship one may be a hassle because it will only move your Infested Terran units if I were to do it, and it wouldn't have a very long range because players can only target directly across from them.
The Scout is good as well, I'm just not sure if we'll have regular and special units going at once.

Your feared don't worry. Anyways. I think that we basicly have the low down on the missisles anyways. I think we just need ideas for Xtras which we could think of, i'm just looking for ideas. I'm going to start our outline soon. If devlin can start it acually sense i really suck at it.. So if there is anything you guys have to reccomment it would be appriciated.

No problem Snipe, just trying to help you guys make this map even better with what little I can do.
So ideas of Xtras in your map. Hmmm..... well you could have like a Freeze Core that you could buy/earn which would turn all of the enemy players neutral, but you could still kill them.
That's all I can really think of right now, sorry for the little help right there.
