Basic Rules


A Diplo like game with a few added twists. First you do not build units. They are flown in to your location. You start with one base that has one drop pad. You then control what is dropped in. Be it Infantry, Tanks, or Materials. Based on what you want dropped in it will take a different amount of time which could make or break a battle. Materials are needed to repair structures, vehicles, and to construct structures. Each drop pad also requires a radar station and a power generator to function, whichs adds more strategy.

This sounds pretty fun- kinda like an altered version of SC.

Interesting. How would you expect the difficulty of the map to end up. Having 6 players you must make it harder and some revives etc. But You have all your stuff down and hoping for a realease soon ^.^. Good job.

Sounds like alot of fun! I really like your idea of having to drop in units/supplies. I think a cool idea would to have airstrikes. What you could do is when whenever you choose the airstrike, you get like an observer with a medium - large location following it. Then you move it to where you want the airstike to be, and then BBOOOMM!!!!!

Just an idea though bleh.gif I would really like to help test also biggrin.gif GL

I look forward to playing this. What buildings are we able to build/do they affect gameplay anyway?

Hmm...Diplo type of map with some added features...

Lookin' good man. Hope you can get this map done.

Im interested to hear about this kind of map. Hopefully we can see it "show its head" throughout the days. Maybe I can pwn some people in it as well. Good luck.

So can you take over other bases and stuff or are you just stuck with one? I think adding command posts will increase the games strategic level biggrin.gif Looks cool. GL
