[Odd lyoko]

Hiya all! welcome to the thread i've made a command and conquer map but i dont think i finished yet it has an AI too.

First off when the map finishes loading you have to choose either the China team or USA after you choose you will get a free construction yard of the team you choose then with that you can train construction vehicles so you can build structures, build structures like barracks and war factory to improve your army and supply center to gather supplys, Each team has its own benifits,you can also capture oil workshop to get more money, you can also upgrade your units weapons and armor make an army and kill your enemy

if you got any ideas post it here

To download the map its here (V3)

Also, please put updates like pictures and new version on your first post, don't make a new one.

Why should we download it? You haven't even given us a reason to play it.


In other words since admins dislike me being rude: Add more information on what your game is about, how to play it, features, bigger pictures, ect.

I think the AI is his selling point.

Ok so you want details..

First off when the map finishes loading you have to choose either the China team or USA after you choose you will get a free construction yard of the team you choose then with that you can train construction vehicles so you can build structures, build structures like barracks and war factory to improve your army and supply center to gather supplys, Each team has its own benifits,you can also capture oil workshop to get more money, you can also upgrade your units weapons and armor make an army and kill your enemy

Warcraft3 melee:
Before the map loads, you can choose 1 out of 4 unique races, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. After you choose you get a free town hall. With that you can build workers, which build your race's structures. You build units to make an army, and use upgrades to improve your army. You build farms to get supply points. As I said before, each race has it's own strengths and weaknesses. You can capture goldmines to improve your economy also.


Oh wait. . .

Could you make a list of your features and why we should play it instead of making a simple paragraph?

So fucking what if Warcraft 3 has the same kind of gameplay. Almost all RTS's have the same kind of gameplay.

His map will, "should", have different custom units, different abilities, different resources, (As I recall he had oil.)etc., etc.

If every part of it is as custom as he can get it then how can you compare the two as identical?

But yes some more information would be helpful.

I haven't played your map but I will. I will edit this with some critiques.

EDIT: Alright, an increase in speed wouldn't be bad. Also give the main building the "Town Hall" classification. Some better terrain would be nice. Also some more explanation on how to play. Fix some of the icons. More descriptive tooltips. The main resource is still gold so you need to edit that.

I'd say the AI isn't your problem. You need to fine tone a lot of it now. You have the basics down, which is good, but now you need to make it great. More units and upgrades would be very good too. I think you lack a little.

If I was you I'd look at a Warcraft 3 Race and see how they made everything intertwine each other. Then work off of that.

alrihgt i just played the map, and prepare for some major bashing... <please note i am a C&C fan, i know these comments are harsh, but this fails to remake any C&C game, especaly not generals>

The gameplay... was pretty much a disgrace to the C&C series, the battles where hella slow, i dont know what speed you run your C&C on but seeing them walk that slow was something new to me, also your missing a ton of KEY FEATURES that where introduced in genreals, a general system where your general gets abilitys after X ammount of exp <can be easaly done with warcraft 3>. Also i would like to point out another thing thats missing, the tanks could not run over the units, this is a key feature in the C&C series

The terain....
it was plane and boring, the compleat opposit of what generals had to offer, and wtf happened to capturable buildings?

The units....
Fucking slow as hell! i state once again, NEVER WHERE THE UNITS IN ANY C&C GAME THIS FUCKING SLOW! Most of the unit models seemed like they where randomly chosen.... like wtf is this? a bandate trowing missles? i understand this map is well.. being made at the moment, so i will hold my comment on the absurdly low ammount of units

The Features....
Your power system is noting like that of C&C, if you want to see a good power system, mimic the one that heros and empires have.
Capureing, i have nothing to say about it.. its pretty accurate (altho nothing specal)
I cant belive you compleatly forgot about the general's ability system, that is what made generals differnt from all the C&C games before it! (i havent played the new red alert series yet, im not shure if they had this system with the red alert games)
USA specal, their specal is a friken orbital strike! Not a barrage of rockets! <i have not tried china yet>
Heck! you didnt even change the melle triggers yet! when the game starts you get the warning that your gona be revealed, and the minimap was off wtf is up with that?

im sorry if i sound mean, but truthully, this is a sad escuse for a C&C game, unless your gona do a direct remake (or something close)

i suggest you play C&C generals and zero hour before you start makeing C&C maps on warcraft 3, the only thing here that melle games dont have is capureing oil wells, the units might be custom but that means nothing, all he did was change the name, models and stats for the unit! nothing more! anyone can do that, theres nothing specal about it!

Btw the oil recourse just gives 400 gold periodically, theres really nothing but gold in the game (this is just about the only part thats accurate about this map)

Ok thx guys for all the comments tho it was harsh ok lol just a reminder thats warcraft 3 we are talking about..i will apply all your comments to the map dont worry i expected more harsh words well i guess the map u just saw was a beta version only.. im bad at terraining but ill try my best thx all! try to make all comments less harsh lool..will work on it!

 

[WindexGlow]

pffffffffffff, if the admins didn't hate me I would have done alot worse than he did.

Listen to what the people tell you and take their suggestions.

 

[Ghan]

The biggest thing I noticed was the speed. I definitely think you should make it faster. Other than that, I think it's a good start, but a lot more work is needed.

 

[Odd lyoko]

Ok i made changes but im not finished yet check first post.
