Damn, its looking nice, especially with the fully featured benefit of placing what you wish for the Japanese Team.

I know this is off-topic but I loved Iwo Jima on Battlefield 1942 lol so I hope this will be just as good!

Best of luck with it.

I'd recomend 6 players, with the option of having 8. That way, you have to get less people in a game to play. I'll beta test if you want.

This looks good. Good luck and hurry up.

Looks good, and good to see a map that's not based on an amreican side of view.

This seems like its going to be a cool map since you got some good features in it and isnt about the american side this time

mmm sounds yummy

the 5-10 minutes to set up sounds good

off-topic:
Shiz... i miss NgM
=[

Off-Topic:
Lol, me, Chris, and Moogle revived NGM on USWest for about 2 days and we just stopped but we're in new clans now

On-Topic

Yeah, this map is more focused on the Japanese side, because I personally think that their side has a better reason for fighting this battle.

Come join us all in clan chef then shiz :P (off topic)

(On topic) Finnaly a WWII battle that isnt about nazis!? :O ITS LYKE AMAZING.

Best of luck :D

I think shiz said he was in a new clan already....

so...y should it be noob friendly?

wow sounds awesome

So you planning to make it a b.net game or more of a complex game? Like Rush for example.

It SHOULD be newb friendly because more experience and strategical players shouldn't have an automatic advantage over people who are new to the map, or who aren't the greatest strategists in the world..

The defensive / offensive set-up will be easy to understand, you just need to have some common knowledge of math (like.. 100 minerals times 10 land mines = 1,000 minerals). Everything SHOULD be pretty self explanatory, but there will also be some kind of.. text guidance.. because some people can be pretty stupid.

And it's going to be a B.Net game and not complex like Rush. I'm gonna try to make it as war-like as possible.. which is pretty hard on StarCraft.

Don't turn it into a zombie looking map xD I've seen enough maps turn out to look like that because of an overusage of zealots, even though you dont have any...it can still happen O_O

Yeah, somehow those damned zealots are gonna appear out of nowhere. Better watch out.

yea...sometimes noob friendly maps arnt very noob friendly and making hard is better...take my modified map of Panzer_Kavalier's Raccoon city for example...i made it so it was going to be noob friendly..and noobs cant beat it ...but to pros it was too easy...

Hey there!

wow,looks very nice!

Really,the selection of the sides and the defences/offences options like mines,mortar targ. and all these has been a great idea.I like all type of details,skills and options like that

Oh i've got some ideas for that options,like Air Strikes,Para-Bombs,Stationary Heavy Machine Guns or you could put a Gas-Attack for avoid the enemy shots for example. (i hope that i helped you)

I like the units too! Especially the names,all are realistic and historical weapons,so good idea! .But im sure that you could find more names for Bazookas or flamethrowers)

And dont' forget to put some suiciders units like Kamikazes Soldiers,or (i heart surprises attacks or soemthin' like that) an elite unit that attack the American units whit katanas.I just dunno where i saw that info,but anyway,could be a nice idea.

And this map will have events,historical info and all these like in other maps that i've played? Will be Air-Units?

The terrain could be very playable,coz you can put some secret traps or play whit the camouflage.

Well good luck whit this map!

I really like it!

See you buddy!

Off topic, nice sig nightmare, look for me on gunz ;O "Dark_Marine"

Back on: Even if a map is noob friendly, you still have to offer a challenge. Simple maps never last long. ;o

perhaps make a ez-hard mode selector somehow?

GUNZ!!! im lv 16

From what I read, everything by the Japanese was all strategically planned out... without involving any katana soldiers.

Basically it's like... the Lt. General ordered his troops not to attack the boats and not to attack any infantry until they were 500m into the island, then they would attack with all of their anti-tank, machine guns, mortars, and anything else they had.

And yes, there are better names than "Bazooka" or "Flamethrower" but.. the name's won't fit.. and everybody knows what a Bazooka and Flamethrower are anyways.. they're basically all the same.

Here's a list of the possible options that each side can use

Japanese:
Land Mines
Mortars (Player will be able to select where the mortars will fire)
Hidden Gun Emplacements
Stationary Machine Guns (Player will have to manually fire?)

Americans:
Landing position (They choose where they want to land their troops)
Air Strike
Naval Bombardment

As for the historical events.. there's not much that happened.. basically the only thing that was "historical" was the raising of the flag on Mt. Suribachi. The most important thing was the battle itself.

I'm thinking about giving the Americans air units, since they actually did have airplanes during the battle met with heavy anti-air from the Japanese, but I'm not too sure yet. I'm going to wait until im about 50% into the map to finally decide.

ADDITION:
Along with the Japanese mortars, the player will have to buy mortar ammunition if they want to keep using it (to prevent spawn killing). I was also thinkin they would have to buy machine gun ammunition, but I don't think triggers can get that advanced

Here's a sample of what playing the American side will be like.. (I'm still brainstorming)

1. Buy the troops you want to send
2. Load them into a boat
3. Send the boat to the beach.. with cover if necessary
4. Land the boat on the beach (bring it next to the beach)
5. Kill some Japanese? (I guess..)

And the Japanese side..

1. Buy traps and whatever to prepare for battle
2. Buy troops you want and place them around the island (there will also be pre-placed troops)
3. Kill some Americans? (I guess..)

Hey there!



Thanks you .Ok,ill try to see you there.Generally,i play on Quest West,or Match West and, what about you? Im "RPD_Night"

LOL! My lvl is 25 (touchin' lvl 26 )



I see,maybe im wrong .But anyway,could be nice play whit them xDDD



Put that event in your map.Really.



Really,if i were you,ill put more skills or tactical actions.For example build mines-areas,makeshift barricades or somethin' like that.



Mmm,yah why not? Put them! Is more attractive and looks better whit air forces,and is always more realistic whit planes and all these.

And you cant' forget the heavy-grounds units.Will have tanks,trucks,jeeps etc...rigth? What happen whit them?

Oh! Other thing! This map will have sounds?

Good luck! for now,looks nice!

See you!

I'd really like to see screenshots. I want to get a "feel" of the map, as I call it. Know what it is like, it's interface and such. It seems just like Call of Duty games, shooter games, except with the setting up defence/offence you are using.
