Well most of my maps are ed up and wont work so im trying desperately to come up with an original map idea. Anyway im her to pitch ideas and see what kind of responses they get.

Broodling Arena:

There are 8 players, each with their own little sections of the map. Everyone has a queen with the spawn broodling ability(which costs 0 energy) and a civ to use it on. Each player is allied with everyone except for the player with the opposite color(black fights white, blue fights orange, etc). First person to s set amount of kills wins.

Fire Defense:

There are 4 14x14 squares. Each player has to defend their square from the comps. The comps spawn on the null in the center of the squares and then run through the defenses that the human players have set up. There are two types of towers, ones that appear as blue fire(more range, less attack) and ones that appear as red/orange fire (less range, more attack). There are two comps, a black one and a white one. The black comp moves through the north and south squares and the white one goes to the east and west ones. If the black comp reaches the end of the square the remaining units go to the east/west squares, and if the white comp reaches the end it goes to the north/south squares. If the white comp reaches the end of the n/s squares or the black reaches the e/w squares the players lose.

Any of this sound good?

Blue flame should be attack-high not range high. Think about flames. Blue is small hottest base, red/orange are tall roaring part.

dude those sound awsome but fire defence sounds better

You would think so, but no.


Okay, so it was a typo... just cuz im lazy im just gonna make it like that so i dont have to edit my post again...

EDIT:uhh.. that was in response to Bk's post... why is there always some one who posts wile im typing....

lol. thats funney, i was just thinking of soem sort of defence with fire, then i enter this post and wala, there it is. lol

So does any one think these are worth doing?

I think the defense game sounds very cool and new defense maps are always welcome but it seems to me to me a lot lik matrix high d

Ive never played matrix high d.... crap i hope its not to similar... damnit now i have to find matrix high d, play it, realise that my idea has been done, think of some thing else, post it here, make it, and teach a monkey to smoke....

Ok... or not...

"blue fights orange"
Actualy it would be Blue vs Yellow, wouldn't it?
Anyways, Battlekruser is right, blue flames should have higher attack and lower range, because, as he said, the blue part is the hottest but most concentrated while red/orange is the most prominent but the lowest temperature.

Blue fights orange, lern your colors n00b lolzlozllzozlzozlolzozl!!!111!!11

Sorry... seriously though, the oposite of blue is orange.

I just had another idea! A 57x61 map with a wire fram pic of a probe drawn on the minimap! Players have a sprite startlocation and a probe. There are minerals around the map for them to colect. 8 minerals = one marine. Marines have 5 hp and do 1 damage, probes have the smae stats as usual. The map for the most part is made out of walkable null terrain. When a player loses a probe they lose one of 10 lives and they get another probe. Last man standing wins!

(how do i attach a map? it would be easyer to explain to some of the dudes who dont understand sprites(or spacificly startlocation sprites) if i could post a map)

Fire Defence sounds better.

And btw, The attachment thing is above the Add Reply button.

To attach a file (map in this case) when you post, there is a little thingy at the bottom to fill out that says "File Attachments". click browse, find the map, and you're done.

For thoes of you who dont know what sprite start locations do:

EDIT: thanks

What did you set the minerals health at for black? 2/1?

I was bored i wanted to see how it looked, i plan on using it in the map.

BTW: wtf, why does my sf randomly protect maps? anyone else have this problem?

EDIT: theryre not all 2/1... in fact, none of them are..

EDIT2: i thought you said "why did you set the helth to 2/1" anyway i used 3/1, 3/2, and 3/3

EDIT3: anyone who just started reading this shoul skip page 2 entirely...

Like you're avatar?

Edit-



Wtf u talking about?

yes, i think ill make it out of water tiles or some other impassable terrain so you can float over it.



uh... im to lazy to explain... can someone take this one?

EDIT: ok fine i will...

play the map i attached(yay i finally found out how to attach maps!) and click on the minerals. you can make them look like that by ing around with the hp. he was asking me what hp settings i used(3/1, 3/2 and 3/3).

lol. there is no attached map...

-Edit-
ohh u mean the probe test map?

Yeah... sorry i wasnt more clear... i had like 5 cups of coffe this mroning.... and then like 2 more a few minutes ago.... really hyper.... really...

lol. np ill give it a test.

this is more of the hyper:

and, LOL 5 cups of coffe... wut u did an all nighter?

-edit- hi Chill
lol

I just felt like a cup of coffe... and then another... and another...

im a pretty bad person if i dont get my coffe... i guess im a pretty bad person if i get to much of my coffe...

On Topic: what about a map ware you have a zergling and there are scienve vesles all over the map. theres a location centered on your ling. theres a trigger constaly ordering all sci ves at your location to move to your location. ... thats really all ive figured out.. jst some thing about colecting scivesles and having them follow you around... oh i know, i could call the scivesles kiwis!

lol... man, wut is going on in you're head?

anyway, i got a program that could put you're little probe pic from you're avatar, onto the map ina jiffey.

Edit-
buuuut i cant do that till i get home, ina bout.... 3/4s of an hour

My avitar is kinda screwed up... i had to convert the screen shot to a jpeg file and it got kinda distorted... i could always just draw it by hand its only like 56x59 pixles...

aight, fine.... but it would work for me if u wanted. a little easyer on you

Na, ill do it... thanks anyway...

whats the program called? i could just like dl it and save us both some time... just asuming theres some place i can dl such a thing....
