Tileset: Badlands
Size: 192x192
Players: 5

I like ur templates colors how it goes from Darkest Green, to a lighter shade of green. I actually like this idea, hope it goes well for you. If you need a tester just PM me.

I played this didn't I? . It showed some promise, although I still think 192 x 192 is a small map

Were u the one who made #1?
It was quite fun, hope this one is better with more combinations

[center]FUSIONNIERS 2
FYI: Not a defence[/center]

Tileset: Badlands
Size: 192x192
Players: 5

[center]- Description -[/center]
Basically I am taking a concept I came up with a few years ago, put it into a RPG, and simplifying it so people can understand what they are doing. I had started this a while ago, but I had to delete all the missions because I wanted to put in cutscenes and change storyline.
I am not trying to make it too hard, so even if you lose your men you can get them back. Minerals won't really be currency, they're like supplies. You can only get another unit if supplies are available, if you lose a unit, those supplies become available.

[center]- Concept -[/center]
The concept is that you can start with three base units:
(B)asic Material [Marine]
(M)utant Material [Zergling]
(T)echnology Material [Zealot]

Those are considered "C01" fusions. You can mix and match them to make different units, here is the combinations finished so far:
(BB) [Hero Marine]
(BM) [Hydralisk]
(BT) [Marine]
(MM) [Hero Zergling]
(MT) [Dragoon]
(TT) [Hero Zealot]
Those are considered "C02". Being that they come from two units, they will be generally stronger. This will go on up untill "C03" or "C04". Of course there will be two Secret materials, alone they will be considered "C05" and fusing them with something else will end up with "C06" or if you fuse them together you get "C0X". You see the pattern.

[center]- Storyline -[/center]
[center]Under Developement[/center]
Since this is revolving around a fictional concept, I can invent my own laws of physics. Also I was hoping that the storyline would include that you are in the area of a Weapons Development Headquarters and there is a group that wishes to take your technology to add it to their own.
The Imperial Cannon is YOUR technology, the Gravity Cannon is THEIR technology. They have somehow managed to create unstable fusions (weaker units) and also focused on creating two super-powerful materials to use against you.

[center]- Weapons -[/center]

Basically there is a few basic "Weapons" that the leader may use (or purchase).

> Medical Equipment [Medic]
Effect: Changes leader into a medic.
Abilities: Healing, Restoration and Optical Flare
Others: You must unlock this weapon before being able to use it.
Price: 250 Gas

> Technical Equipment [SCV]
Effect: Changes leader into a Technician.
Abilities: Repair mechanical units, and defenses. (Possibility: Build something?)
Others: You must unlock this weapon before being able to use it.
Price: 250 Gas

> Imperial Cannon [Reaver]
Effect: Leader can use the Imperial Cannon
Abilities: Shells will cause a major imbalance upon the materials, causing the targets to split. (ie: If a C02 unit was shot, it would split into two C01 units)
Others: You must unlock this weapon before being able to use it.
Price: Undefined

> Gravity Cannon [Hero Reaver]
Effect: Leader can use the Gravity Cannon
Abilities: Shells are made with an extremely dense material, creating its own gravitational field. (No ideas what this can cause, yet)
Others: You must unlock this weapon before being able to use it.
Price: Undefined
FYI: Willing to change names or effects of weapons.

I know I can say "I am going to finish this." all I want, and people are still going to doubt it. So I'm not going to say that, All I can say is: Have faith in me and hope my life doesn't interrupt the production.
I need ideas for a second cannon and also for the storyline. Names for the enemy group? Mission objectives? Please be free to comment.

First of all if you want the map to succeed dont include mp)lyon in anything, hes less consistant than u  . And I like your layout for your new map, the old 1 was just like a mass defence and got boring and makin this 1 more like an adventure or a player is intresting. As always your idea to combine units to make new ones is clever, and the leader transformer abilities are also cool. Maybe give the leaders different kinds of ranks or weapons to use as they explore or level up or watevr. Maybe even allow equipping of items that are auto-use, such as a phase cannon weapon that recharges and shoots nearby enemy units every 10 seconds? just an idea. Anyway goodluck, your old buddy -DB

Umm... I can help with the storyline if you'd like. What specifically do you want, though? I mean do you want a series of plot points that occur as you play the map? Or do you want a general plot outline to use for the map.

If its the latter, you could do something simple (similar to what you posted in the main post) like the enemies have issued a statement of war against you. Their intelligence reports have shown that you have a stable fusion ability, and since they are having major issues with their fusion source (causing their attackers to be flawed and therefore weaker), they want to take your best scientists (perhaps?) or just the secret plans that make yours work properly.

Since you want to classify this as an RPG, you could make the map like a survival map at first (like the enemy sending a huge attack of relatively weak fusioned units). Once you kill them all and save the HQ, you are sent to infiltrate their base and disable their main weapon - the Gravity Cannon (which would turn it into an Anti-Gravity Cannon) - in a certain amount of time. When that timer runs out, they will fire the Cannon because if they can't get your techniligy, then no one should. If the cannon is disabled, it implodes and you win. If it is still active, it fires and you lose.
Just some ideas for ya. I'll check back here with some others later, if need be.

Since it seems a little confusing of what I'm asking from you, heres a list:

1 - A: Name of Military
1 - B: Name of Organization
1 - C: Name of Scientific Faction of the Military

2 - A: Should Gravity Cannon be replaced? If yes, by what?
2 - B: What will the Cannon be able to do? (Either the new cannon or the Gravity cannon)

3: Possible Missions? (ie: Attacks, Defends, etc.)
[right][snapback]574104[/snapback][/right]

2 - B: Well, one cool effect that you could do is that the cannon literally fires balls of gravitational matter that pull in everything toward it (like a black hole the size of a hot air balloon). On the map you could do something original like once the cannon goes off, a nuke lands where the cannon is targeted (presumably the HQ). Once the nuke explodes, a set of create/kill explosions occur as well, pulling everything around toward it.

On the other hand, you could have the cannon fire at certain tme intervals. Like the Death Star, this cannon takes a certain amount of time to power up - say 15 or 20 minutes? So when 20 minutes is up on a countdown timer, a nuke targets a section of the HQ and any player near it automatically dies. That could mean one of the side missions would be to disable the cannon(as I suggested earlier) before the HQ is destroyed.

At the same time, you could have a "Protection" type map at one point where there is an onslaught of enemies and you have to protect the HQ's fusion source (which is very similar to what I suggested earlier).

Research Facility: "Amphioxus"
Should that be the name for the enemy organization instead?

I have found a name for the Scientific Faction, how does "Amphioxus" sound? Its going to be named like... Research Facility: "Amphioxus"
Should that be the name for the enemy organization instead?
I don't really know, I found that name by accident
NOTICE: The "Gravity Cannon" is a reaver.

I like your ideas but I don't want the cannon to be "The End", I want it to be part of the story. The building of cannon, and stealing it, are part of the story.
Also I like the balls of gravity, I was thinking that it would travel a distance, explode and unleash a black hole type thing (like what you suggested) but then have lurkers bombard that area for a few seconds (while triggers are making people be drawn to it). I know it sounds kind of corny, but I have to make it simple. I'm gunna spice it up later.
