Title

Headquarters/Statistics

Description

Your objective is to destroy the enemy Headquarters. However, its not as easy as it sounds. You begin the game by selecting a Droid of your choice. Each Droid has different abilities and statistics, and they use a number of constant updating virtual statistic systems. You can upgrade your Droid the more you fight, and you can select which statistic you would like to improve on. for instance, maybe you want to increase your constitution, or your damage in battle, or your regeneration rates, or you could learn more powerful spells.

I can already guess how this works but how will you play the game?? whats the conflict or goal in the plot&story?

okay theres 2 forces. each force has 2 human players and 1 allied computer player. you have to defend your headquarters against the attacking force. the computer players automaticaly fight towards the enemy headquarters, so you have to aid them on the way against the enemy. the more you fight, the more you can upgrade your droid. you need a well upgraded droid to take out the headquarters defences. then, you keep attacking until you reach the enemy headquarters. ill post another screenie soon, so you can see what the entire map looks like.

So basically it's Aeon of Strife with abilities.

ive never played aeon of strife. but im going to make this map as original as possible, even though it may share the same objective as aeon.

From the looks of it, it's going to be a crude version of DotA on WC3; and since DotA isn't on StarCraft, technically it's still "original," so good luck with it.

thanks guys. i started today, but progress is well on the way. i have everything up and running apart from the virtual stats system, which will take up the majority of the triggers. i have alot of work today, but im determined to get it finished fast.

terrain is a little blocky ( for you that dont get it im joking -.- )

it sounds all too familiar too me, you need something more... something that'll make this map more original... customized stats is not original ( sorry to break that to you ) upgrading is not original ( sorry again ). however if you choose to ignore me... ill kill you jokez but i would like to see something more being added. GL on the map w.e u choose to do

This maps looking good. If you need a tester PM me.

So why are you only using protoss units for the droids?

If it was me, I'd change the fire to a... drumroll please... firebat!
Also, I'd change earth to a lurker.
And finaly, I'd change Ice to an Archon.

But, that's just me.

Looks like fun, can't wait!

Yah reminds be of dota... I can't believe accually that it hasnt been made yet on sc.. Kinda odd But good luck with it... If u need any ideas just ask!

i should have stated, thats not the actual terrain. it was just an example of the stats system. i'll update the screenies soon.



i wanted the droids all the same race for realism reasons. the droids are in my mind, highly advanced battle units, semi-biological, semi-mechanical. a zerg unit wouldn't seem right? maybe im wrong.



trust me, this map is very original in the way im designing it. i think you'll be impressed with the stats systems once you see them up and running. im also creating a constant help message, which suggests what you should do at a certain point in the game. for instance, if you encounter another droid, a game message tells you how much virtual life the enemy unit has. if it looks bad for you, the game message will advice that you escape/cast a certain spell.

also, you have the options to upgrade 1 of 4 stats, as follows:
1. HP Total (10 Levels)
2. MP Total (10 Levels)
3. HP Regeneration Rate (10 Levels)
4. MP Regeneration Rate (10 Levels)

Also, I am introducing some nice spells, as follows:
1. Switch ---------- Switch places with the enemy unit
2. PWR Revive ---------- Revive PWR (part of the virtual HP system)
3. Influence ---------- Mind control enemies (does not include droids)
4. Teleport ---------- Escape from battle, back to base
5. Freeze ---------- Literally freezes another droid
6. Shatter ---------- You morph into a crystal, explode and kill then reappear
7. Self Hallucination ---------- Creates hallucinated droids for the caster
8. Morph ---------- Morph from a slow Reaver into a fast Shuttle
9. Berserk ---------- You lose control of your unit, but do double damage

This map is turning out awsome. If you need a tester PM me.

thanks dude. i'll pm you soon.

Sweet. Also how do u think ur going to be doing the advice triggers?

the system i am creating, runs game advice all the time. the advice triggers will work from a hierachy system. so, i will have, lets say, 20 triggers, each with a unique text message/game advice. i will give each trigger a death counter rank, so that the more important game advice will override the less important advice. if you download the new screenshot, there is an example of the game advice in the last text message.

WOW. Very nice. Now I understand why you are using Protoss units... cool. CAN I BE A TESTER!?!?!? This maps looks so badass.

are these spells going to be basic exlosion above u that does something or will they be like the spells that u can see on the 1st post of Element Duelz ( my map ) if u want help learning how to do the spells im doing if u dont know how to then just pm me ill arrange a test map for u.

thanks for the test offers. i'll pm you guys later.



every spell has a physical effect on the map, and a unique sound. for instance, the Shatter spell, morphs the droid into a crystal, with a nice dark archon explosion as a transition, and 5 seconds later, the crystal explodes, with a nice ice shattering sound, and kills everything around it.

im pretty condifent with my triggering skills, but i'd like to test out your spells system anyway.

NOTE: i have posted a new map, which shows you the terrain, some of the units and an example of the stats system.

I'm actually working on a long term project of DotA for SC including a skill tree.

ANYWAYS . . .

This map actually does look totally awesome now. I'm up for testing whenever you need it, Electroid.

thanks. i have alota testers now! just to inform you guys, i may get kicked off the net within the next few days. its a long story, but hopefully i'll have the net back in a couple of weeks. in the meantime, im guna make the most of it, and work on this map in all my spare time. i think i have about 80 more hours in the production of it, which isn't really that long for me.
