Pop-Up-D

---

You basically mind control a few burrowed zeglings to create a path that units will walk through. I am attempting to use around 30-40 possible units able to be used. Other than that, it's your basic defense.

Progress

---

-Ideas
•Pretty much done with the basics. I am going to try to implement special units, not sure how at the moment cause I am reaching the unit max.

-Terrain
•Completed....may add a few touch ups before release

-Unit placement
•Completed

-Triggers
•The mechanics of the game work for Player 1 only. No levels have been set but you can get in the game (as player 1) and build towers and try out the defilers dark swarm ability. The general idea behind using dark swarm is to target a unit that you messed up on. So if you acidentally wall, you can kill it with a dark swarm. Just don't shoot your Dark Archon

Specifications

---

-Players
•1-4 Players. The game will change depending on the number of players in the game. For example, you start out with a small path to work with. If the player beside you looses, you inherit all of their 'towers' and enemy units walk from one side to the complete other instead of dying in the middle.

-Map tileset
•Desert

-Map size
•96x96

Storyline / Introduction

---

Sytell corporation has been an unknown powerful entity until recently. You and your allies homeworld HQ have just deciphered a message that was meant for someone else. Who it was meant for is still unknown. What is known is that Sytell is preparing for a full scale invasion to your homeworld. It's up to you and your allies to stop the supply line of forces before it's too late.

Sytell forces strike quickly and most times without warning. Their supply line of forces is going to make a b-line dash for the first of several portals. These portals warp their forces to unknown strategic worlds surrounding your homeworld. Sytell isn't to concerned about fighting until they reach their destination. You will notice that most of them will not even put up a fight to reach their final destination.

The leader of Sytell has given his troops a bit of protection from the resistance. He has created an invisible barrier that freezes your troops in place and prevent any unit from simple just walking or flying to or near a portal. For this reason, troops must be warped in. By reworking the design of the Arbiters Recall ability, your forces are able to be teleported in. But thats only half the battle because none of your forces will be able to take 1 step. Their are only 2 beings that are able to resist this invisible barrier, the Dark Archon and the Defiler.

Screenshots / Demo

Eye candy.

Demo is attached but it only works for Player 1. Not much to it but at least you can get a general idea.

Made with Production Template (keep this link to help propagate this template or you get smitten!)

Looks like we have a new defence production!
Why the world is the defence called pop-up defence when I don't see anything hinting at popups anywhere? That's a bit weird.
Remember, test a LOT, and I mean it, before releasing this. An unbalanced defence is the worst thing out there. And please, make it interesting, not like buy, kill, repeat.
With that said, just one thing left, and that's to say good luck, so good luck.

Looks very interesting. But as for the unit's path, what are you going to use to make sure they follow this path? Are you going to replace the units with buildings?

And I cant test it on this computer.
