New Spin On Golems(need a Name)
Basically I got the idea after playing a bunch of games of Blood & Magic. I decided to revamp and remake the old Golems madness maps! However I've added a bit of strategy to it.
You don't mass in my game. No. No massing. You can, but its hard. Basically you make golems from different parts you buy, each part costs 1 mineral. When your golem dies, you get half of what you spent in parts back (IE: A four part golem would get 2 mins back.), Golems can be made with 2, 3, or 4 parts with special golems being made with special parts (1 of 4)
Progress
-Ideas
•The Forge system is almost done, I just need a bit of tweaking and refining.
•The Golem parts have been put in place, including the specials.
•The way the game is going to work is complete- mainly how you loose the game and stuff.
•I've disgned this to be either a 2v2 or 1v1 game.
-Terrain
•Terrain is 100% complete, but still subject to change.
-Unit placement
•So far I've only placed the Golem Parts and the Specials, as well as Forge upgrades.
-Triggers
•Haven't touched them.
Specifications
-Players
•2-4 with 4 computer players.
-Map tileset
•Twilight
-Map size
•64 by 64
Storyline / Introduction
Basically you are a golem maker. You take specific parts from different machines that work, and make them into monsters after throwing them in your large Forge. Recently you've entered in a tournement! Now you are competing with other Golem Makers for the victory- a contact for the creation of the Kinds royal military.
Features
-Player Interface
Basically the same as most would think, you come up with combinations of parts and sometimes chuck in a special part. Kills get you points and minerals, 1 mineral each to be exact, and every kill gets you gas. Once you get a certain ammount of gas it goes back to 0 and you can get a Forge Upgrade. Computers are essential in this, as your forge would have NO defence without them.
Also a random boss unit will spawn in the Arena every now and then.
-What's new in your map that others have not done before?
•Strategic Golem creation- not just mindless massing.
•A whole new take on the creation of golems.
Details
-How the Golem Creation works.
•You pick X ammount of parts, then put them inside your overlord. Once you have the desired parts, you bring it over your Zerg Beacon to forge them into your golem. You use these golems to fight!
•When you upgrade your forge it gives you special abilites: IE: Making two golems from one, getting additional defence, or getting more money per kill/death.
•Special parts are actually hard to get.
How to win a Game!
The objective is to destroy your opponents Forge and all buildings other than the forge he or she may control. Now the fun part about it is the Forges are NOT pre-placed: You use a Flag Beacons COP function to choose your starting location. This helps alot, mainly because you choose were you spawn. This also means no two games will be alike, unless your playing a friend.
Each forge and upgrade has alot of HP, and when you move in close, a Computer will spawn a Unit, an Anti Air and an Anti-Ground, so its hard to camp around the opponents forge. Also, its harder to mass in this because you need to actually make your own golems.
Screenshots / Demo
None as of yet.

This reminds me of Armored Core. Sounds awesome by the way. So this is less of a madness and more of a strategic battling map with customization, right? 
Either way, it sounds awesome. Good luck.

Thanks ^_^ ANd I loved armored core.
Trigger wise it should be easy, since the hardest parts for me are Terrain and Naming units. The Triggering is gonna get down by Catrini (My Partner), and partly by me.
But yes it focuses around creating your own golems from scratch rather than simply massing them. If I could somehow get a screenshot of JUST the minimap I'd post one.

Dont name it Golems. It should be something else because its not like a massing game. Maybe something like TEH BLENDAR since you put stuff together to make something

Yah thats wat i thought... When i read it... I was like Its not really golems... So screw the name golems...!Like golems is golems... u change it... U change Golems... I would name it like Like Blenders was good or somthing like that!

She's using Golems as an adjective guys. Like an Elemental Titan or a Rock Troll or even a gigantic monstrous thing.
May I recommend the title 'Armored Golem?'

Ok as far as the fighting goes: You can start off with one moderately strong Golem, or create a couple weaker golems. Its up to you as the creator.
As as for what a Golem is: A golem is a creature made of different materials in a massive Kiln or Forge which is enchanted to move and stuff.
So thats why I like using that name. But basically you start off small and work up, and the reason its 2v2 teams is because two computer units defned your base, when enemies get to close a guardian will spawn since I can't stack cannons with triggers, and 2v2 teams makes it easier. I also want goons to spawn randomly on the map for hte players to kill, for money of course.
Once I get a minimap screenshot (Once I learn how to get a minimap screenshot that is, I'll post it here.

Hope you don't mind me posting in two of your tops, but hey, Golems was annoying ever since the first time I played it. Yea It IS mindless massing, and yet in the end, you don't feel ANY better about yourself if you win or lose. xD
Yet it strikes me odd of how a golems map could remind you for Armored Core (3 and 3: Silent Line were the best so far), Then again a golems based on Armored core would be neat. Mt's with machine guns and rifles, AC's with pulse rifles and gernade launchers. AND A HERO UNIT THAT LEVELS UP BASED ON KILL EXP THAT CARRYS OTHER WEAPONS O_O
Maybe I might make it XD

Dang it you just gave me an idea for ANOTHER map that I'm most likely gonna attempt to take on with my amazing triggering buddy Catrini (Oddly enough I haven't sent him this yet.)
What I need help with mainly is balancing units- but I'm sure down the road I'll think of something.
Also ocming up with the part combinations, their are a total of 6 different starting parts, along with 3 hidden parts, the fourth one is locked because I don't know what to put there. So if a golem takes 2 or 4 parts to make and you get 4 freebies there are ALOT of different combos.
for instance:
Probe + SCV + Drone + Medic= ????
Medic + Probe + Infested Terran + Templar = ???
So many combos I can come up with, I think I should sit down and make a list...

Finally. You're online
So, it's customizing parts to create golems, and destroying your opponent? You also get money by kills, for what? Upgrades? Sure, it sounds cool and stuff, but you're missing alot of details.
I'd like to see the map. I promise I won't hog the triggering!

lmao sure let me just send you it in an Email in a bit.
Firstly, Money for kills usualy goes for more Golem parts, cause upgrading in this map would be useless since you'd have a large range of units. I may just revamp the whole thing and turn it into something like the older one with strategy involved but I don't like massing maps.
Theres ALOT of combos open, and the only real way to get an air unit is to toss in a Special Part, since I've noticed Air pwns in most Golems maps.

SCV+Marine = Goliath would be good
Or
Medic+Ghost= Kerrigan
Something that makes sense

Actually the six oroginal GOlem parts are:
Drone
Probe
Scv
Medic
Infested Terran
Templar.
Since those units get the least use, except the medic and terran, in regular golems. As far as the special parts go I can't remember them off-hand. But the problem with having six parts is all the four part and 2 part combos. I'll be sending Catrini a copy as soon as I finish the names and the text on the map, so you guys can hope to see a copy by the end of August ^_^ Maybe sooner.

4 part combs and then 2 part combos? Theres bound to be alot more than 36...
But either way that helps me out...
Im thinking of incorporating a system to fuse two golems you've already made together...y'know after you purchase a forge upgrade.
