Hello everyone. I am working on a map called Footman Boot Camp. So far I have 2 mingames working (the whole game is a set of minigames related to footman training) the Horse Race and the Combat Training. Here is a preview of the map. If you find any bugs or want to suggest a game, please post here.
 
... Why would a FOOTman need a horse? ;) :D

Heh, just my suggestion :D

Perhaps you could divide combat training into a few parts?

Shield Trial: Your footmen must move over a barren field with nothing but his shield; archerers will shoot arrows, and he must duck behind his shield, then pick it up and run, then duck behind the shield, etc. Some archerers may fire fire arrows that will burn his shield (if it is destroyed, he is screwed/loses) and whatnot.

Dagger Combat: Your footmen gets a dagger and some basic chain-mail armor, and must then fight an automated sparring machine. The machine has several long blades that whirl around it; you must duck or leap over the blades, get in close, and attack the sparring machine before its blades lop off your head (pretty tough boot-camp, eh? :D)

Organized Retreat Practice: Your footmen must make an organized retreat as he fights back to his base from the opposing and immense enemy army. He needs to stop the retreat from becoming a rout; he must occasionally fight the enemy, and protect his comrades instead of running for his short-lived life. (this would be a team vrs. team one, except that the teams would be more like 4 vrs. 8 or 7 vrs. 3) You would need to hold off the enemy for a certain amount of time in the forest (can't just run back), and then when the time expired reinforcements would come OR you could retreat back to some fortifications. Then you would to protect the fortifications for a time before you actually won.

Organized Assault Practice: Opposite of won above. You would need to either push back the enemy before time ran out, kill all of them, storm the fortifications, or break past their lines. You would have numbers, but be slightly slower, and they would be slightly stronger and have more stealth capabilities.

Organized Charge Practice: This would require you to break a stalemate by charging onto the battlefield and getting past your enemy's defenses (they would do the same thing, even teams) while preventing them from breaking through yours. The defenses would consist mainly of trenches and spiked walls, and be hard to get through when manned (interesting challenge, because if half your team stayed behind whilest you and a friend 'charged' their fully manned defenses, you would be slaughtered or fired :D)
 
all sounds good, but i need minigames designed to work for any amount of players, even just 1. your ideas gave me similar ideas though so thanks!
also things that would make fun of the game and be funny (like dodge the (insert thing that kills footmen easy) or something)would be really good to have.

Ideas

Ideas.

Guarding challanges-Make a minigame where the soul purpose of the game is to keep someone alive for as long as possible? the one with the last person surviving could be the winner

Escort Challanges-You have to work togheter as a team, This Adds +1 to all players that make the escort alive. And if the team fail to escort the carravan or whatever it is all players gets 1 point substracted from score?

Grab your sword and fight the horde - Simple, Slay as many orcs as possible within a given time, and having to slay other footies to prevent them getting more kills then you, This should be 1 hit kill or an ability you can dodge

Mind Puzzles - Well i think that a footman should not only be swift with body but also with mind, but i am however to tierd to think of mind challengeing puzzles, its to late local time for that :D

-Edit-

this could be a little hard to make but i know you got it pretty good going with the triggers so here goes, just got another idea

Commander Abilities - Not only should a footman be able to take orders and fight, but he should also be able to control a smaller group and safeguard them through a battlefield.

The main idea of this - you have your footy standing on his post on top of some hill viewing a battlefield with things running around killing shooting ect. Then by abilities your footie controls a smaller group of people 3 maby on the battlefield (4 abilities) Foward Backwards Left And Right, now the objectives is to control the units safely through one end of the battlefield to the other, (by battlefield i of course mean smaller areas with challenges on the way) 1 for each player, and for each unit you get over safe you get +1 point.

Thats all for now

-Sheep_Quest
 
ok added another minigame to it, check it out

Assault Practice - you must run through the battlefeild as quick as you can, manuvering through obstacles and dodging catapult attacks.
 
Review-Suggestions

I looked at your map abit and in the race section i think it kindda lag of information, it says that the race starts, but now of how many rounds you have to go...

-Assault Practice-
-Add more catapult projectiles in the start, they only hit in the top
-Maby some units that chaces you if you get to close
-some more Bloody scenes giving it a battlefield look :D

-Hourse Race-
-Give the hourses ability to net an apponent 1 or 2 times for a short amount of time

-Question-
-The red spiky things all over the place, What are they there for? they dont damage at the hourse track or at the battlefield so it seems pointless to trying avoiding them
-The terrain need a little more fixing no? (Hope what i saw was not final) would be a darn shame with such a map

This is off topic but you can just download it and move it into the downloaded maps folder in wc3 map folder, then open the game and find it there.

    I think on the new one they did change it, but idk. I don't really care whatever the government is doing right now because it's consistently absurd. Like what is RFK doing in charge of health anything? I love the bear story because WTF was that, but also, pretty much every time he talks it's WTF. Like even his voice sounds microwaved

    The pyramid is fucking dumb as shit, no matter how you arrange it.
  • Varine Varine:
    It's actually remarkably easy to make mayonnaise though. Fun fact, it USED to kind of be a French mother sauce. I believe that Careme considered it one, it may have been aioli but that has also built a different meaning than it used to. An aioli is just mayonnaise I mixed with other shit typically, I didn't start it don't come at me
  • Varine Varine:
    It's very hard to do it on a large scale though
  • Varine Varine:
    Depending on how you pour the oil the consistency can vary wildly, but that's true for most emulsions. I can only make about two quarts at a time with my robo coup, and if I have to make several in series because I forgot to order it becomes really obvious even when I do it. We have to wait and mix them all together to make sure we have the same thing.
  • Varine Varine:
    Hollandaise is also kind of like that, emulsions require a very steady hand to do exactly the same every time.
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I live in an age with electricity so it's way fucking faster, but when I was just a boy trying to find my place I had some hardcore chefs that made use do things like that by hand. It is WAY easier to get right by hand because you control it and can feel it, but it takes soooooo much longer. And on the scale a modern kitchen requires... I serve 400-500 guests on average per day right now, if I had 100 then we could do things way better
  • Varine Varine:
    But we can't do that. In the winter yeah, but I HAVE to get people through here right now so I can afford the staff that we CAN do that. We have about 100 days of summer, and if that summer doesn't make us what it will, then I can't operate the other most of the year with my staff. The owner is talking about closing two days a week to cut down on labor, I told him he should cut down on vacations and it did not go great. I do think I won though, I have to keep my fucking core staff and they have to be gainfully employed
  • Varine Varine:
    Sure some of them might take a second job, but I can't just cut my entire staff to unlivable hours, nor can I can cut them off all winter if I want them to come back.
  • Varine Varine:
    And also, there is no fucking way I'm pulling these hours come september. I only do this right now because I have to, the second I don't have to be the one doing it I won't be
  • Varine Varine:
    I have a 5 person core staff in the kitchen, not including me or Chef Ben
  • Varine Varine:
    Though two of those people are likely not making it this year. One of them has been replaced, the other I am kind of trying to. He's being a giant bitch, today I had to get onto him because in the three hours before I left he had taken like thirty minutes for cigarette breaks
  • Varine Varine:
    And he was also complaining to me the other day that he was out of weed so couldn't smoke any before work that day, and was confused about why I was annoyed he was telling me, his boss, that he is smoking weed everyday before work.

  • Varine Varine:
    Like yeah I can tell. I don't need to fucking know.
  • Varine Varine:
    So now he's getting scrutinized and will not be top of the list. I know I don't have the smartest people but I do expect them to have some common fucking sense
  • Varine Varine:
    I did do a rare thing for me and hire a girl last month without warning. Everyone was made at me because I started her at like 21, but she worked with me before and I was like don't care. She made 19 at her old job and I wanted her to come work with me, she is the best
     +1
  • Varine Varine:
    I'm going to get her a raise at the end of the summer. She wants to go to school again, but I want her to still work with me so.... she kind of can just tell me what the price is. I can go to 25 if she keeps up. I need to get her onto line more, that's what she wants, but I need her where she is and it's not fair that she doesn't get the little bit of raise that comes with it. She can do it no problem, I've worked with her there.
  • Varine Varine:
    It's just hard to move and train people unnecessarily right now. And also the line fucking sucks, it's not any more fun. This is turn and burn so I have the bankroll, and everyone suffers for it
  • Varine Varine:
    Eventually we'll get it balanced, we'
  • Varine Varine:
    we're starting online orders and stuff, but I also turn that off all the time because I barely keep up trying to be the best at Sysco shit
  • Varine Varine:
    I think it's gonna be a good fall and winter though. We're going to have a good staff, they will get along, they will be able to manage the workload and the complications, they know how to really cook this year, like every person on line knows their steak temps. Some of them use thermometers a lot and they don't always use them right, but they do know how to do it. Failure, especially in this field, is the only way to get better. They'll get it
  • Varine Varine:
    They won't get feel down while they do the thermometer, but we didn't have an instant read probe when I was learning. Like they did but god knows how off it is, you HAD to do it by feel. Even if the chef was fine with me bringing my own, it takes too long. Poke and know
