[YR] Outskirts of Battle City - MOD [3-6]
Subject description: Team map with Suvival aspects.
This map holds six players, 1 to 4 human players and 2 AI computers ALWAYS.
This map is basically a 3 vs. 3 team map with 2 sides going after each other. It also holds true to aspects of a survival map. Each side has a Yuri command center which spawns waves at the other players base every so often, as the game progresses theses waves get more intense.
However a player may attempt to -disarm- the other players spawned waves by destroying his enemies command center, "located on the 2 black spots on the mini-map", and vice-versa.
Map Theme:
Survival
Team Play
Game Play:
Basically you must protect your "Command Center" or your opponent will gain advantage over you, meanwhile you must try and destroy his "Command Center" to gain advantage over him.
Of course this pits 1 ally against survival waves, while the other faces off against another human.
Namely, Player 1 and Player 6 will be dealing with waves while Player 3 and 4 duke it out in the city over resources.
Note, destroying your opponents Yuri Command Center will stop Survival waves on your position. If he destroys yours, then your survival waves will stop on him.
Positions:
Team Red: Human Players:
Player 1 - Left middle
Player 3 - Bottom middle
Computer Players:
Player 2 - Bottom left
Team Blue: Human Players:
Player 4 - Top middle
Player 6 - Right middle
Computer Players:
Player 5 - Top right
Mod Info:
All human players get a choice between 3 new sides, "By selecting soviets, allies, or yuri."
Each side has a unique set of "New Tech" and plays uniquely. You will have to try playing each side to see them all.
Sneak-peak: Allies - Air Based - Has Spys
Soviets - Tank Based - Has Mk2's
Yuri - Infantry Based - Has Gap
Super-weapons are available, "and can be disabled via the tab", but they are Simulated, and you can now have 5 unique to your side. They take 6000 frames to recharge after each use, and most be manually fired, "if a better system for map-mods exists for multiple virtual SW's then I might take that advice."
Author Notes:
I hope you guys have fun playing this map, any tips advice would be great. I know my maps aren't greatly detailed, but I put quite a bit of time into this Map-Mod. "And if something can be Improved, this map may see updates on occasion for balancing, etc."
This map is made for online XWIS vanilla-Yuri and Does Not Require Any External Assets.
Update:
Did some balancing after a few online games with map. Had to add some more resources to the right side of map as well as alter some units for balance.
Update:
More balance because people complained there still wasn't enough, Gdi players will be happy to know that they can once again train Spys, as was originally intended.
Update:
Fixed Typo. 4/12/09 1:09 Eastern Time.
Update:
Found some bugs and got rid of them. Also did a little more balancing. SPY was causing NCO because I forgot a tag, and GDI's flak truck couldn't damage tanks has been fixed. New Power plant for GDI side.
Balancing.
Update:
Ok, I know I keep updating, but its because I'm trying to straighten and balance this map out, I think I'm pretty close, if not done. Some more fixes were made for balance, the mini-map has changed again slightly too. The biggest change would be the switch over from Heli-Miners to Stealth Miners on GDI's side, however the Heli-miner is still available with purchase of refinery. Fixed Typo.
Update:
Did some final balancing, hopefully it's perfect now, since I've already moved on to making another new map. Added a new Drop Ship that acts as a flying transport for tanks and infantry. Also Gave GDI a new Destroyer tank.
Update:
OK, not so much an update, but as joke Update. Well I did fix a single tag. Darn Crashable=yes on Stealth miners.... But I also added in a rare mystery trigger... If you play the map enough, "and don't cheat by opening it in FA2," you will be greeted with a great conversation between a certain bunny and fox. Its a trigger that has a very small chance to go off, but I think you will find it amusing.
Update:
Fixed ZEP's Weapon Exploit.
Oh and I made a new map, go check it out! Now! lol....
Update:
Fixed Star Fox Bug that crashed map on launch, sorry.

Well, first, its not an bad map, looks good, has an city, and all, but the layout, where it is? The flat cliffs, the square starting pos and ore fileds, not against it but you could make some more effects on it.
EDIT: nevermind, i see its an survival map...... QUICK_EDIT
Survival maps don't have to be ugly, Shadow Hunter.
TBH, the basic shape is all right. But the shape of the cliffs is boring and unnatural. If I remember correctly, Aro once said that the three things to remember in mapping are, "Don't use auto-lat, auto-shore, or auto-cliffs".
More natural, curving cliffs would make the map oh so much better to look at. QUICK_EDIT

I dont know, this map is very unbalanced. Players 1 and 6 have a clear advantage over everyone. they are confined behind cliffs and players "be it humans or comp" must go thru all other players to get to them. While players 3 and 4 have a huge disadvantage, they will certainly be the first attacked, while 1 and 6 sit back tuck away out of reach. IMO If ratings were 1-10 I'd give it a 2, but thats just me.
And cliff's need more shape instaed of being boxy! _________________
The enemy shall be injected with toxic poison - Venom QUICK_EDIT
While it's true the cliffs are boxy. Players 1 and 6 have to deal with spawned waves. In fact there's more stuff attacking them.
Players 3 and 4 are suppose to go on the offense with each other. Players 2 and 4 are always set as comps. And Players 1 and 6 have to deal with spawned waves that get harder as the time goes on. Waves can be stopped but it requires that you destroy your enemies yuri command center. _________________ Grab my Map Logic Expansion Pack 5.2 here!
