Other Battle Tanks

[Exide]

Hello.
When I was younger, I played a game called 'Battle Tanks' on Nintendo 8-bit. I recently came to think of this awesome game and decided to re-create it for Warcraft3, mixing two great games for maximum awesome'ness! :thup:
(I just hope this hasn't been done before. )

About Battle Tanks:

The object of the game is to fight free for all versus the other tanks.
Your tank has two attacks. Your main attack fires a shell straight forward, which will blow up almost anything it comes across. Your secondary attack is a close-up attack which will clear debris out of the way.

You get five points per kill, and lose two points per death.
All players start with five lives.

When only one player remain a new round will start. The player who has the most points after three rounds is declared the winner.

About Powerups:

There are many different powerups one can acqure, that does different things.

Smudge - Blinds all enemy tanks for five seconds.
Invisible - Turns your tank invisible for 15 seconds.
Long Shot - Greatly increases your tank's main attack range for 20 seconds.
Haste - Increases your tank's move speed.
Recharge - Immediately recharges your main attack three times.
Meteor - Calls down a meteor on a random location of the map. -Beware, it might very well kill you as well!
Bonus Points - Grants five bonus points.
Extra Life - Grants one extra life.

So without further ado.. Here is the beta (v0.91) for Battle Tanks for WC3!

Please report any bugs, or other suggestions you might find here.

Well.. I was gonna say something about your lack of additional info on your post, but I've played the game, and I'll admit, its catchy, and there's actually not much more to tell than what you've already told us

Could be quite a 'blast' in multiplayer, I think maybe you should make a bigger map and include more players? I think that would be pretty insane, if you had 12 tanks instead of just 4 playing

Could you perhaps tell us more about the items? I only found the extra life one, but the camera ability talks about 'invisibility,' so I assume there are others..?

EDIT: Helpful hint: Try not to fire when right next to someone else, you get blown up too!

Ah, too bad on the name.
Any suggestions on a new name? ^^

@da1nOnlyEd:
There's actually a quest that you can read In-Game about all the powerups.
But to make it easy on you I will edit the first post with the same info.

Yea, it's a bug that you can kill yourself with your own shell close to an enemy unit. -I will try to fix that before releasing v1.0.

This map could be fun!

Tank Wars
Tanks
Tank You (or too lame?)

May be plain, but it's short and to the point

Classic Battle Tanks?
If that is a name suggestion, then I think it is a good name
I remember this game aswell
I used to play it all the time when I was tired of the first zelda game

I think it should be the other map that should have a disclaimer saying that it is not like battle tanks, beacuse the original battle tanks is an epic game

Ah, sorry about that. I think you should keep the self-kill option, it creates a need to be cautious and to keep away from the enemy, and also prevents you from just running up to the guy and blasting him at point-blanc.

Bump.
I decided to update this map to version 1.0, since I couldn't find anymore bugs to fix.

 

[Exide]
