ArmageddonCraft
The little game of mass destruction
What is ArmageddonCraft?
ArmageddonCraft is a half concept mod half mini mod creation that I made. It combines iscripting and .got templates to create a new gameplay mode. This mod requires StarCraft 1.13e, as it does use some minor MemGrafting.
How to Play
ArmageddonCraft is meant to be played on the Mass Destruction game setting. I'm a lazy illegitimate child, so there is no AI. The AI probably wouldn't play very well at this anyway.
At the beginning of the game, a 30 minute countdown timer is set. At the end of this timer, the game will end. You've been warned.
Every minute, you wil receive 1000 Minerals with which you can purchase units. However, at 2:00 each player will recieve 100,000 Minerals in a mad rush for victory.
The object of ArmageddonCraft is to kill as much as possible. If you either eliminate your opponents before the end of the timer or have the highest Kills and Razings score at the end of the timer, you win.
However, watch out! If you have the highest score, you will share vision with all players!
Players may make and break alliances as they wish, but they may not share vision. At the 2:00 mark, all bets are off and all alliances are dissolved. So hopefully, you're in a good position to stab your allies in the back.
Units and Structures Glossary
Units:
Civil Engineer:
Built From: City or Capital City
The hapless Civil Engineer builds and repairs all structures. He's armed with a wrench, but isn't really up for combat.
Soldier:
Built From: Military Base or Capital City
As a frontline grunt, the Soldier doesn't really excel in the brains department. He makes up for it, however, buy having a gun and shooting people who he doesn't like.
Apparently, all the soldiers are named "Jimmy".
Attack Dog:
Built From: Military Base
This isn't your ordinary Fido. The Attack Dog is mean and would like nothing better than to tear enemy soldiers to shreds. Due to it's amazing sense of smell, the Attack Dog can detect stealth units, including, strangely enough, Spy Planes.
Go figure.
Spy:
Built From: Military Base
The Spy has the only special abilities in the game. That makes it feel very special, and it tends to look down on the other units. The Spy can enter Stealth Mode to become invisible to normal units, Sabotage mechanical units and buildings, and also target Nukes.
The Spy also carries a long range Sniper Rifle to kill enemy infantry.
Tank:
Built From: Military Base
Tank smash puny infantry! The Tank is slow to build, expensive and gives your enemies a fat juicy kill score, but dominates the land. However, it doesn't due so well against air units.
Fighter:
Built From: Airbase
Red Leader, come in Red Leader! The Fighter is fast and mobile, attacking both ground and air units. It tends to explode rather easily though.
Bomber:
Built From: Airbase
Bombers explode things.
Spy Plane:
Built From: Airbase
The Spy Plane is fast and stealthy. It exists to spy on your enemies. Watch out for detector units though, the Spy Plane has no weapons.
Cargo Plane:
Built From: Airbase
What do you do if you need to transport 50 Tanks across water by Thursday? Call a Cargo Plane, of course. The Cargo Plane can carry 8 infantry or 2 Tanks, and takes a fair bit of punishment too.
Nuke:
Built From: Nuclear Silo
The Nuke must be targeted by a Spy, but when it lands, get out of its way. Not only does it deal intense explosive damage at the blast point, but it will also leave toxic radiation behind for years to come. (60 seconds.)
Don't forget to duck and cover!

Structures
City:
Built From: Civil Engineer
The City is a bustling hub of commerce activity, and/or a pretty target for your Nukes. The normal version builds Civil Engineers and provides 20 Supply, while your starting city provides 40 supply and can also build Soldiers.
Military Base:
Built From: Civil Engineer
The Military Base trains Soldiers, Attack Dogs, Spies and Tanks. Nothing more, nothing less.
Airbase:
Built From: Civil Engineer
The Airbase trains Fighters, Bombers, Spy Planes, Cargo Planes and gives helicopter tours on Sundays from 3-5:00.
STA Tower:
Built From: Civil Engineer
The STA Tower shoots missiles at aircraft that enter it's range. Yay, missiles!
Radar:
Built From: Civil Engineer
The Radar can preform Radar Scans to reveal stealth units and to spy on your neighbors.
Nuclear Silo:
Built From: Civil Engineer
The Nuclear Silo houses our good friend Mr.Nuke until he's ready to launch.
Armageddon Device:
Built From: Civil Engineer
The Armageddon Device is the real star of the show, the one idea that spawned this entire mod.
When destroyed, the Armageddon device deals 50 damage to everything on the map. To complicate matters a bit, the Armageddon Device only has 55 HP, so if you detonate one, you may just set off a chain reaction. Isn't MAD great?
Fallout Shelter:
Built From: Civil Engineer
The Fallout Shelter can shelter 8 infantry and/or canines from harm. So that way, you have some people to rebuild the world after you nuke it all to hell. The Fallout Shelter is reinforced, allowing it to take several Armageddon Devices or conventional weapons hits before being destroyed.
Ok, enough with the overview, where's the download?
Right here, of course:

Sweet like I haven't seen this coming but oh well. Hay doesnt that mean a map will be attached in order for the timer to work and will comps be able to be in the game?

I've edited the game templates, so any game in the Mass Destruction (Melee) game type will have the necessary triggers.
Computers? I don't think so... this game requires more complicated thought... there really isn't a build order you could follow.

I palyed this mod with Voy eary today, and it was teh fun. I of course was winning the first round but then a chain reaction sadly crippled me. And the second one, boy, chain reactions with many Arg Pylons is fun!

you're working on the nanite one and this at the same time? Both of them look good, but if you're working on two mods at the same time that would give you stress unless the nanite one isn't really a mod or something...

Yeay at mod.

I just played a game. It's intense, I'll say that. The fact that you don't lose until all of your units are dead makes for an interesting game, also. We spent the last five minutes chasing each other's fighters down after we each blew up the other person's base at the same time. I eventually won, but it was a close thing. Tricky gameplay, but I like it. I'll need to review it.
