Hi! I'm busy making a new and better version of marine wars. Do any of you have suggestions for my new map, and i'm hoping to make it a dota style map. What you guys say bout that?
I say theres already to many dota type maps, actually one was to many for me. Thats all anybody makes, if I'm the only one who objects to that somethings wrong... anyways I'm not supposed to talk about that (help help im being repressed!)
I have never even heard of marine wars, how about a description?
I have a good idea. If youve ever played Unreal Tourament 2004 theres a mode called Onslaught which I think would go really well on a WC3 map. Heres a description of Onslaught: here
The term you're looking for is not "DotA Style Map" but "AoS Style Map" (Aeon of Strife, which means 2 or more bases spawning creeps in waves with towers on each side to create a "tug-of-war" effect. Creeps push one way, reach tower, creeps push the other way, reach tower, going on forever. Thus why each side gets heroes (the players) to change the "balance" of the war and hopefully tip it in their favor =)
Personally, I don't think you should try making an AoS style map because some of the best maps out there are AoS style. It will be very hard for your map to get popular. I suggest you try doing a unique "Marines Arena" type of project. Just my suggestion, though.
And on the terrain, start with City Scape terrain and make the base tileset dirt. The dirt in that "theme" looks 10x better than Lorderon Summer's. You can even do Dalaran Ruins and Outland combined to form a "post apocolyptic" tileset theme. Once again, just a suggestion =)
For all of thoes that dont know, its basicly 2 teams fight to command posts, and when you protect your Home base structure. If you comandthe post right outside your base, your Structure your defending is Vulnerable, and you have to destroy it. Im really bad at explaning, but that is the baic. Take over command post and kil the other base.
Would work very well with wc and Marines. Try it out, should be cool!
I'm on a page about incorrect corrections, and spent the better part of like two hours trying to get someone to understand that -5^2 = -25, not 25, and then that post had comments get reposted because that group is self sustaining, and that person was in turn trying to explain what I just explained to them. And I'm taking that as a victory
I will be AFK for a couple of days you guys hold down the fort while I am gone. I will be checking in on my phone but that will severly limit me. Be back saturday!
