Defense of the Pandaren Drinking Area
Created by gusanomental

Map Info:

Apparently, the Pandaren Drinking Area was a paradisiacal place built in the coasts of the Broken Isles where the Panda go on holidays every year. Business was going fine until the presence of Illidan brought commotion to the peaceful beaches. Only Pandaren allowed! It's said even Maiev herself was bribed with a brand new pair of slippers of agility to go move on and keep her mouth shut about the seaside resort. Unfortunately they don't have enough slippers to gift to the thousands of Murlocs who are now swimming to claim the entire site for their own so the security committee launched the Pandzer project as their last hope.

What is a Pandzer? It's the latest Pandaren invention and clanking symbol of their praiseworthy engineering. The Panda-Assault-N'-Drink-Zupply-Erratic-Roller is an armored vehicle destined to deliver brew to the resort's guests in times of danger.


  • Player 1 drives around.
  • Player 2 shoots at enemies.

As simple as that. Screenshots (probably) soon.

Author's notes:

Unprotected, do what you want with the code. I dream about someone making an epic arena map with entire groups of players as crews piloting vehicles.
Playable but currently unpolished and lacking of the most of features I got in my plans, sorry about that. Move it to substandard if needed.
Did you find a bug? Please report it in the comment section. You'll get a handful of bamboo each time you do.
Please be polite while trolling, too much life wasted here it's depressing.

Hey, is the map/terrain a template or was it made by you or someone who helped you?

Hey, I worked on a blank map containing some code such as Damage Engine and Knockback by Bribe, BPower's missile system and an unfinished version of my tank movement triggers, everything else was made entirely by me for the contest. I guess I can send you an early stage of the map if you request so.

For some reason, the site says the map's for 3 players.

I was wondering the same, I suspect it's something about the version (got 1.26a). I'll see if there's a way to fix that.


BTW, did you get a chance to try this with a friend? I haven't tested the map on multiplayer and I'd really like to know if it works properly, specially on startup when the single-player check trigger changes ownership of the cannon to Player 1 if there's no Player 2.

Edit: I believe the single-player check trigger is malfunctioning, shame on me.

Playing this alone is definitely painful, I hope you can get a teammate so you can maybe enjoy it, well, AFTER I update this, I do think the multiplayer is bugged and Player 1 ends up controlling the whole tank no matter the number of players.
You should make attacking saner too. It's almost random to hit something.

A well made map with some minor but at times annoying movement control issue.

  • A detailed changelog in the first post would be helpful to reviewers and notify fans about the newest implementations to your map.
