[YR] Trench Survival Mod [4-6]
Subject description: Survival
Ok, I've been making maps for a long time, but this will be my first map I've ever uploaded.
This map holds six players, 1 to 3 humans/AI's and 3 AI computers. Should that have been written as (1 to 3) instead of (4-6)?
The map features a night theme and Fog of War. The waves start pretty quickly, but come randomly, and keep you occupied through-out the game. Also from what I can tell from playtesting online, it never gets laggy.
Map Theme:
Survival
Night Map
Fog of War
Randomness
Map Mod
Game Play:
Basically you and your other two freinds or AI Allys are both on the bottom of the map. As you play all sorts of random waves come at you. You can use artilery, Gi's and any tactic you can think of to survive the long hour. You may note that the waves you see when you play the map for the first time might not show up the next time you play, or they might show up at an entierly different time. You might also see waves one game which you have never seen before. Other time's you will just wonder what cruel fate has been bestowed upon you. Map features Random Wave Delay triggers, thus allowing seemingly random waves to appear every so often around the normally occuring waves. These can also create games with random difficulty level so be prepared.
Suggested Tactics/Hints:
1. Do not try to advance through your tech level too quickly.
2. Resources become scarce as you spend, build more refinries as soon as you can.
3. Infantry will most likely be your targets durring the game.
4. Air cover is vastly important, but it can probably wait a little, but if you see kirovs and have no air defense, you might as well surrender.
5. If I can't have that special building, nobody else can.
6. Recon, lighting, sensors are important. Make sure to build observation towers.
7. Use height to your advantage, not disadvantage.
8. Your Enemy's units and Infantry heal, beware!
9. It's a game just have fun.

CREDITS SECTION + UPDATES
Ok so that's the new Tech Tree, so I hope you can survive the long hour. All INI work was done by me, all script work was also done by me and everything else, me. Suggestions, critiques, or anything else is welcome.
Also here I am EricAnimeFreak, online XWIS I am DeathNote, and my maps are signed, under the name, Eric_The_hero.
PS. If you want a screen shot of Superweapons I can do that too, There is Night Vision Flare, Parabomb Airstrike, Ion Cannon, and Fire Storm. Or you could just go play the map.
I've updated the map to try to clean up ini more to avoid bugs, not sure if effective, but no error, still no known reason for IE though, waiting on other thread for fix. Map should work though, and info provided looks better now.
Another Update, I have tested, looks good, but still chance of error untill IE EIP can be resolved.
Hmmm. I've played it dozens of times since last update, and redited my maps ai triggers alot. I think all is solved now and map should work a ok. But if an IE does occur please let me know and post an except.txt.
Ok there was another IE, But I'm sure it's fixed. It appears that my field generator did not work like I wanted it too. While it did increase buildspeed, it also had an error if cancelled from buildtab it would crash the game. But Updated version is now uplaoded enjoy.
New Info Added that was originally neglected.
Update: Sniper was too overpowered, now he was nerfed a bit. Also life was increased on Harpy.

Caution
Hey, sorry.
I've played the map dozens of times since last edit, and it's been running fine, but a few minutes ago after playing two games. I got an IE and I have no idea what caused it! I'm pretty sure I did not cause it, whatever it was, but I think it might have been my ally. He was getting his butt-kicked and was evac-ing his base. I know that my map should proabably be pulled untill fixed now though, and that I should actully post this in another section of forum. But I wanted to let others know for right now.
I've checked the EIP on modenc, but it is not listed. Sorry, a few hours ago when I uploaded the map I thought it was 100% error free, and I even played the map many times before I even uploaded it. Anyways, I shall Post in the correct section with the Except.txt. I also used an ini checker, and this dosen't seem like a normal internal error, error. The EIP is 00000061
If anyone feels ambitous you can look at my ini code though. QUICK_EDIT

belongs in mods section I think. BTW if your making a map it is best that you make them without requiring external assets. _________________ QUICK_EDIT
Ummm, if by external assest you mean additional files. This has no external assests. It's not a mod. It's a mod map. All it requires is having yuri's revenge. It will play over xwis fine. _________________ Grab my Map Logic Expansion Pack 5.2 here!
Adds random weather patterns into maps.
More disabled navalyards.
Preplaced Neutral buildings.
Additional new features.

Awesome map! My preferred method of defending is initiate jeeps. So far I have only done single player, and it is impossible for me to defend more than 25 minutes. _________________ "Taste your mortality!"- a completely awesome elite mind controlled Apocalypse Tank. QUICK_EDIT

Update + Thanks
Thanks alot!
By the way, I've updated this map slightly, also I have 3 versions of it now. Each version is harder than the last. "I call them Brutal, Extremely Brutal, Nearly Impossible."
Also on my new versions the lighting has been changed, laptops don't like the low ambient settings and cause players to play in utter darkness, this is now fixed.
Also I made a fourth map ussing the same scheme, but changed the terrain, made it even harder, modded some of the original mods. I call it, "Impossible" in terms of difficulty. As I've played it over 50 times and only made it down to the last 6 minutes....
It is more about Team Work, as you will find you and your teamates locked back to back with enemies coming at your from all sides.
The rules in the forum state 1 map per thread, however I feel it would be foolish to make a multiple threads for these maps. I consider them to be a pack, and so much alike, that thier basically the same with differen't difficulty levels. So if your intrested in the pack, and maybe some updates for the orignal if you had a laptop, try downloading the pack.
