So... Me and a friend of mine is making a defense map. But since we haven't done one before we don't know what units to get spawned and their attributes and so on. Plus we do not know how we should put the damage and bonus for the defending units. We are discussing what units to be able to purchase, so more information will come.

Greatful for any support and suggestions!

Try to do something that hasn't been done already. There are a great many defence maps out there where you sit there while your units shoot at the enemies. If you really want to make a defence map like that, that's fine; you just have to do it well enough that it can compete with all those other maps, and that means lots of defence unit balancing, hours of level tweaking, a track that makes the game interesting (and oh, how I hate air defenses, where there's little or no focus on making a formation), and of course, flawlessly working map systems, just to break even, and on top of that, you'll STILL have to add some new feature to lure players away from the maps that they're used to.

Or, you could try and make a different kind of defence, one where the goal is still to stop enemies from going from point A to point B, but how you do that is something other than "Watch the units shoot the enemies". This approach will take more work, yes, but you'll have a far more interesting finished project. Of course, the first approach, done right with some good new features, will be more interesting than the second approach done with something boring, and has the advantage of being more familiar to new players, so if that's how you're more comfortable making it, then by all means, do it that way. I just thought I'd suggest the possibility that a defence map could be something else.

Okay... I have some ideas like placing a spidermine makes a pylon with a cannon, sieging a tank makes a bunker with some units depending on what you choose and unsieging the herotank makes something else Btw, it's in the installation terrain so building wont be possible and it will be ground (already decided)

of course building is possible on installation. theres a tile blizz forgot to delete that makes you build on the ground. GG

Oh... And what is its name? Null terrain? Or could you post a picture of it how it looks in the "Tileset Indexed"?

Suggestion: Make a Post when you have some of the Map Done plz.

give the kid a break, he is discussion his map!
SUggestion: name it latex defence! (becuase that is your name)(and some of the best things in this world are made of latex, if you know what i mean ^_^)

The work has been cancelled... But I would still like to know what tiles you can build on in the installation terrain

its in the tutorials.

You can actually build in Installation terrain?

Hmmm....interesting.
