Battlefield Commando

---

Battlefield Commando is a map similar to Sand Castle Wars except that there are 2 races. The Aliens and the Humans both with different units and stuff.
Each race has one special ability. You'll see that later.

Progress

There's still pretty much left to do. I have a lot of triggers that needs to be done.

Ideas
It's pretty much done but i need some ideas for things to buy in the market place.

Units and Terrain
The terrain is 100% done. The map is kind of small so it wasn't very much to do and i didn't need to add very much units either.

Triggers
The triggers are basically the only thing left to do... Almost. It's not far away from done,but it will take some time.

Unit Settings
I am balancing as good as i can. I am also not completely sure about the unit names

Specifications

Players
2-6

Map tileset

Features

Player Interface
To start off,Player 1,2 and 3 is the Alien team. Player 4,5 and 6 is the Human team.
From the Barracks,basic infantry units will spawn
From the Factory,vehicles will spawn
From the Gateway,Special Units will spawn
High Templar is the Super Ability.

There is also a ban system implemented to the map. (UNTESTED)

The Aliens
Undead,monsters,infested creatures. The aliens have a tough basic marine.
They have the feared zerglings.
They also have a lot of Pylons taking the humans time to reach the Alien base.

Super Ability: Death Army - Sends a hard to kill Zealot army to destroy everything in its way.



The Humans
The humans have tougher defense and powerful vehichels.
They also have the super ability Grenade. This is nothing to play with!
For humans,medics are extremely important!
Without medics,sunkens and the Aliens Super Ability,will easily kill you.
Super Ability: Grenade - Infested terran (High Templar)




What's new in your map that others have not done before?
I don't think there is a map similar to this one but with the two completely different races.

Alien & Human Shop
As i said earlier,i still need ideas for things you could buy in the shops.
The aliens and humans have different shops.
I also haven't decided the cost of each item yet.
Feel free to add your own ideas.
Update: I have all 4 buyable abilities. Now i'm going to add buyable units/armies/squads. You can still post your ideas.

Buyable Alien Abilites

• Ambush
Creates a burrowed zergling army in the middle of the map.

• Frenzy
This spell will set the health of all the enemy units to 30%. This means that the spell can both damage and heal enemy units. Hmm,what would happen if you combined this with Mercy?

• Disruption
Clouds of the devils' fart roam around the battlefield. The alien units will get invincibility in a few seconds. And the stupid humans just run past them..

• Mercy
This spell will instantly kill all medics owned by the human team. A very costly but effective spell.


Summonable Alien Squads

• Hell Hound Army
Who would not have guessed?

• Dark Sorcerer
A sorcerer.. But fatter. With Maelstorm... And Mind Control. Can take large amounts of damage.

• Hunter
1 Hunter. You buy them in 1 each,but they are stronger than wraiths.

• Alien Mothership
Oh noes! Yes,you guessed right. Carrier.

Buyable Human Abilities

• Catapultation
Creates an extra sieged tank to defend the human base.

• Holy Air
Heals every friendly unit to 100%

• Hijack
This 'spell' will take away 50 minerals from the enemy team. It does another thing too: Prevents the aliens to spawn units in a few seconds.

• Emergency
This option will activate the emergency system incase enemies enters the area.
Security robots will attack and Turrets will be spawned. The turrets will dissapear after a few seconds though. There must be at least 1 enemy unit for the system to active.


Buyable Human Squads

• Newbie Soldier Army
A big pile of guns guns guns,waaagh!

• Army
Supersoldiers,medics and swordfighters. This is the most expensive one.

• Laser Fighter peow peow
Guess what unit! Guess what unit! 3 Wraiths!

• Sorcerer
3 Tassadar with psionic storm. Sorcerers are invincible at the start of the human base. And they are mighty cheap too!

Thanks to Gigins/DEAD for helping me with a few triggers and also a bit of testing and ideas.

The terrain seems a little dull. If you can edit it so it looks better than just cliff. It could turn out to be a pretty fun map.

I know but what else should i add in the terrain?

A Different tile?

Anyways, this map seems like it will be very fun in multiplayer, but you need to make sure that all units in this are extremely balanced, or 'The Aliens' could be able to crush 'The Humans'

Use square terrain, and a different tileset!!

Use different tiles instead of just one.

Terrain has been updated
Does it look any good?

Also updated with a new buyable item for the human team.
oh,and i forgot to add one more thing to the thread. The map has a ban system too.
