Storyline / Introduction

Year 3000. You are the crew of a scientific spaceship. You've discovered a new form of life on a distant planet and now it must be taken to Earth. You did not know, that this form of life, called The Thing, can take over the body of it's victim, turning all the cells of the victim's organism into The Thing's cells. So, this Thing can take a human's form, and it will act, move, talk just like the person did before.

All the Human players try to survive for 15 minutes or kill all alien organisms, while all the Alien organisms try to eliminate all Human organisms within 15 minutes.

Features

•Perfect morph
•Maximum concentration on one unit
•Requires microcontroll, communication skills, reaction and logics

-Rules
•Each player has one unit on the map.
•At the beginning of the game, one random player is chosen to be The Thing.
•If you are near The Thing or an Infected One, you get an infection.
•If you die with an infection you become an Infected One.

-What's new in your map that others have not done before?
•Nobody tryed to raise The Thing maps to such a level of professionalism. I don't mean state-of-the-art triggers, I mean the level of experience put into the map.

Have you ever played The Thing ? Any version.

Report, edit, etc...Posted by Cloud on 2006-09-16 at 03:01:14

Jammed you needa make more games other then "The Thing.. lmao

Report, edit, etc...Posted by JaFF on 2006-09-20 at 03:30:06

It's my first Thing map. (actually the second, but I never released and never will release the first one

)

Oh and for the record, I got a wonderful idea for a defense map, so after Zeratul_101 finishes the terrain, and I will polish the triggers, I'll start a new map.

ADDITION:
Bad news. Zeratul_101 has problems with SCMD2, so I'll have to look for another terrainer.

Oh wow this looks really fun! I LOVE The Thing maps, this is gonna be the best one yet im sure, GL On your map, when it's released im gonna get it RIGHT AWAY!

I see The Thing maps are quite popular...

This makes me change my mind about the musc... if it's popular, I need a smaller file size, thus the second background music file can be axed...

ADDITION:
Good news:

Xeno is the terrainer now, and he seems more active. He already has the map, and I'm expecting some good terrain.

Seriously. I've seen screenshots of his work. And maps.

Did he ever finish Xeno: Inter...blah w/e i dont know how to spell it.

Xeno's aliens map has the "bones" now, all the basic abilities and all that stuff. No missions for the humans though.

ADDITION:
OK, some of the terrain is done now. I would like to keep some parts, and would like to redo other...

oh, just so you know, you might want to replace my name with Xenos

I can always help terraining if needed, it's always come easy to me. Jammed, I like the map idea but it seems like a pretty simple concept. It will be hard to make much change to it, so that it will look like most of the other thing maps. If you want it to look a lot different, I suggest ¹³³7 Terrain. Also the Thing should have 3-5 Morph Forms, it wouldn't be hard at all. The human players should have less health, but a little more damage. I like when you die you become a broodling, but I suggest it maybe should be a infested terrain, and if it is a broodling give it 30 life, but like 20 damage. Thats all I have to say for now

Your suggestions will make it totally disbalanced and put shame on me for all times. The list of things that will destroy the balance:

-Give Thing a lot of forms (more than 2) and don't have VHP (and I don't have VHP)
-Make Humans weaker in HP, but stronger in damage
-Make the Infected One an Infested Terran (suicide ?!?!?!!? are you kidding ?!)
-Make the Infected One weak in HP but strong in damage
