DESTRUCTIVE DEFENSE
A defense map that mixes ideas from Volcano/Tsunami Run and my mind.
OBJECTIVES
)
"Ha!" I exclaimed as I put down my wrench and wiped my hands with a greasy rag. "I'm almost finished with my work! Soon I shall be protected against all threats, forever! I estimate ten more minutes of work on my shielding technology, and twenty minutes to finish my four beautiful Obliterator Cannons." I dropped the rag and picked up a screw driver and proceeded to turn a screw on the Shield Generator, when suddenly, my garages roof burst into flames! Disgruntled runners from races won long ago flew in through the roof, wielding knives in each hand. I used my ninja skill to teleport myself and my equipment to a remote island's canyon, where I continued my work. But as soon as all was silent, I saw a warp generator at the other end of the canyon, which was spewing out my enemies! I summoned the Great Protecters to defend me until I could defend myself. Now my fate is in your hands, Guardian...

[[attachmentid=17223] This is the nearly finished demo. The enmies can only turn one direction, the kills to cash and hero buying systems aren't in, stacking hasn't been added, and briefings aren't in. Ok, so it's not really nearly finished, but I'm getting there!

Does SCMDraft 2 have the Classic TrigEdit plugin? I've been using classic Campaign Editor all throughout my career as a mapper.

Well, I do have ninja powers (not super fire-breathing clone-illusion making powers, but physical stuff, like uber anything climbing), but I can't summon Great Protectors in real life (that would mean summoning five people who have played this map
). And I'm going to add a testers list now. You're on it.Report, edit, etc...Posted by EdAi on 2006-01-04 at 21:06:47

Oh wow, this one actually has a story. All the other defenses do not have stories tied to them. This can change defense maps forever!

Heeeeeeey, that sounds pretty awesome! Thanks! Also, anyone up for a quick test of the demo on Battle.net?
ADDITION:
I'm having a wee bit of a glitch... I can't find the map in StarCraft so I can't test it on my own, which means I need people on Battle.net, but I have a firewall that prevents me from hosting. Help?

Looks kind of......generic?
Add some features in so it is distinguished from other maps.

What's generic about it? I've never seen another defense map have the enemies go on randomly chosen paths, or have the enemies destroy everything in their way. Also, rare is the defense that gets you bonus units for getting kills (not hero credits, special units). There's also more stuff in there that I haven't told you, so in my eyes, this is far from a generic defense map.
