i'm back, after going for almost 9 months with no internet, i finally aquired a wireless network adapter and am currently getting internet off an open network in my area. i will update this topic to 0.60 next week. i lost my most recent changelog after my operating system would no longer function properly so i had to reformat.
Also, I'm willing to put your name in as an NPC if you assist me with the coming soon areas.
After a long month of finals, summer school and finally coming back to look at my topic hopefully, to find that it had been locked unfortunately; I've released version 0.47 Beta in the hope of reviving this long forgotten thread. Also, I'm willing to put your name in as an NPC if you assist me with the coming soon areas.
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 nameLinkin Park Defense Version numberGameplay 25 Different Levels 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 .

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.
