TD Emerald Circle Tower Defense

[Psiblade94122]

Story - My games don't need one
Victory - Test version has no victory conditions
Defeat - 120 creeps are present in the game field

Game Play:
The game is a mixture of Building Management, Circle Defense, and Click Defense. You have a 16x16 plot of land that you must manage to increase the stats of your tower. Your tower's stats directly affect your attacks and will be explained in a later section.

Firing your towers - A gesture as simple as a right click with your hero selected will order all you towers to barrage the clicked point. Each tower has it's own mana cost when fired.

Hero Stats
Strength -> Spread - Each point increase the offset of your barrage by 1 warcraft unit

Agility -> Production - Each point increases the lumber to mana effecency by 1

Intelligence -> Storage - Each point increases the mana cap for your hero by 10

The towers built will all affect these stats one way or another.

Yea, thats about it to the game.

This is not a square defense, the creeps run on an actual circle!
I will NOT provide any SCREENSHOTS mainly because i am posting a video. I believe a few hundred frames are worth more then three to six pictures.

The game is in its first test phase, meaning that its extremely unpolished! The test buildings are all currently "Farms" because I have been working on my systems...

video is takeing alot longer to compile then expected... the upload will be up tomarrow

The test map will be uploaded in compensation for my lack of media.. very sorry.

Also if anyone would be kind enough to doubble check my codes (check map) for any leaks i tend to overlook, please tell me.\

Island bombardment was the project's name before a friend suggested that i called it emerald tower defense. Thats also why theres a huge green crystal in the middle, and as always all visually appealing content will only appear ingame not in the editor cuz im lazy with preplaceing art stuff... i make the computer make it for me ^-^

Edit:
The video is live!!!

Alright I just tested your map.

Here's what I found:

• The map title is "Just another Warcraft map"
• The loading screen doesn't include any instructions or anything.
• It is impossible to win on single player without cheating (I tested it on single player). I don't know if its better on multiplayer.
• The builder can get stuck in its own buildings, therefore not allowing it to build anymore.

Here's what I suggest:

• Making a title and actual loading screen
• Adjust the hp of the ships to be lower on single player so that the game is testable.
• Add some other types of ships or skills.

Overall, the game seems too short and plain. There needs to be some things added to it. The fact that it lacks a title and description makes it worse. Also, try to make it possible for single player testing. (You can add AI or adjust the hp of the ships)

EDIT: And I just noticed that it isn't possible to win the game. The ships just keep coming at a constant rate.

Making a title and actual loading screen

thats realy not so important in test version

I was making suggestions for the actual version.

Someone else can check the triggers and stuff though, as triggers and terrain are my weaknesses

>The builder can get stuck in its own buildings, therefore not allowing it to build anymore.
Ah, i missed that >.< (yea i never got enough to block my builder in <only made enough buildings to test if the system works>)

anyways, the next version ill put up here is going to be a real version (the test version was never suppost to be released, i only put it out because the youtube vid was takeing too long and i had to sleep, now im just too lazy to take the test version down)
with that said, if anyone wana give suggestions on the codeing (to make it more effecent) go ahead and say so

oh yea... for those who are just gona go "Go Use JASS" i have nothing to say, i just dont.... but im sure there are those who are gona say that so im just putting this up there

Edit:

i just opened the map again to check on the issue, i did set it on fly... may you provide a replay showing that your builder got stuck?
