The Claw!

Use your Claw(dropship) to pick up the prizes. Unload the Scv and move to a unit. Then you will have a mineral/gas in your hand. Then use your SCV and make way to the prize bucket. But be careful, try not to run into anything or places you can drop things or you will drop your prize. 10 gas = 1 play.

The Arena[/line]
Each prize you get, you get 1 unit of that prize/unit. You'll have to make a pretty big army if you wanna kill the other player!

Each of the Players Objective is to destory the other players OverMind. You may get builders and Make a defence if you'de like.

I don't really get it...why do you need the dropship if you're just going to unload the scv to use that?

Cause, You need to unload the SCV right over the Prize to get it. If its slightly off..then well, then that person has to keep trying and trying

Then is it just a normal bound but with an scv with a prize?
Plus points for how far you get....nvm I get it. Nice idea, good luck

Hmm..Im thinking if i should change how to get money. Your right, just a bound to get money is boring. Ill try to think of some ideas. If anyone else has an idea, please post!

Make it a competition to get the prize so players have to race to it then bring it back.

Lol, Its funny because you cant actually win anything

It would be much more fun if you can fight people with your prizes <- IDEA

Good idea Echo. I might use that!

Report, edit, etc...Posted by EcHo on 2006-08-01 at 14:12:30

Yeah you should because what are the points of getting prizes, unless you do it as a competition to see who gets the most?
IDEA! (Scratch that)

Yeah I saw that you changed it,

Put like hidden units too, like weak units but when u get it, u get bundles or heroes

Yea I did. Read the Details. And maybe another way is getting prizes gives you minerals. And with minerals you create units and make an army to destroy the other player.

Which of the 3 do you like?

(The other 2 are in the details)

Each prize you get, you get 10 units of that prize/unit. You'll have to make a pretty big army if you wanna kill the other player!

This one, but there should be many rounds of this.
Also you should only get 1 of each unit and there should be coins or the numbers of times you can use the claw. Like 10 gas = how many times you can use the claw.

I dont like the other ones because the minerals one would not be that good with the claw system.

Also i dont like the massing one because who would like massing games?

Thanks for your thoughts/feedback

Ok so I Updated the Arena part. Im not sure if itll be 10 units when u get prize or just 1 unit like Echo said. Maybe split it to 5...

Report, edit, etc...Posted by EcHo on 2006-08-01 at 14:25:09

I suggest 1 unless you want lag or same thing thats constant. 1 type of unit army isnt that fun

Woot im on the tester list

. Hope the ideas they gave you help your map out.

This is getting very interesting now you've started developing it.

Can you give a screen shot or mini demo so we can see it. Then we can give you proper feedback and ideas. Plus we can understand how the game will play better.

Keep going!

Ok,

Unit Placement is pretty much finished (*Need to update*), Im setting up the Players Bases and just have to copy the units in 'The Claw Machine'.

Locations-well, but annoying

Triggers- Very little. Ive only added 'The Claw' switch and the resource triggering. Hoping to finish much today and tomorrow!

Terrain- Just need to fix up terrain by bases and use the Water terain for Spacing!

ScreenShots- Gonna add the minimap and some battle scenes. Also 'The Claw' part.
