Troopers vs Zombies Alpha

A hide and seek map influenced by Island Defense.

Background: The military has sent themselves and 11 of the top Architects to investigate a chemical factory accident. The factory has leaked some kind of radiation/virus that turns normal humans to zombies! 3 architects went in the factory to collect some data and samples. Unfortunately, they were infected by the virus and was turned into zombies! Under emergency situation, the remaining 8 architects were asked to setup bases to resist the zombies' rampage while the military rally up some troops!

Gameplay & Hints: This is a map with non stop action at the beginning for both zombies and troopers.
The military actually sucks!
Zombies: Feed on the military troops.
A team of 1 commander and 2 assassins is recommended.
There are invisible scouts and cameras watching your every move! (if the human did build them) Use the Dust of Appearance to reveal them and get easy money.
An architects Energy Shield is quite annoying, surround them with zombies and have an assassin to web them.

Humans: Use the military as a delay and quickly gather lumber.
Build more than 1 base! There should be: Unit producing bases, lumber camps, and a main HQ!
Upgrade and build fast! Get the zombies, before they can get you!
Lumber Mill should be your 3rd type of building (Woodsmen Home --> Walls --> Lumber Mill)
Bouncer Towers are the best start game towers.
Atomic Tanks wins you the game (if you avoid the zombie minions well enough)
Assaultocopter and M1A2 Tank are great places for your architect to be! (Atomic Tank is best though)

But with all due respect, any map on the Hive is welcomed as long as it was made through sweat and bullets (hard work) and does not violate any of the Hive's rules.
With a proper description and credits given, I don't see why this map won't be approved.

-Freeze87- Not another one! X_X!! As long as it makes sense and there's actual game-play involved, I'll be o.k. with it, but just don't go spamming monsters (zombies) on the map expecting us to nuke them. Do your best!

Kl3sk yes! The map maker mape only zombie or syrvire map! Players need arena and rpg!

Now now -gerf- , don't be mean, we can't let personal preferences alter the income of uploaded zombie maps,etc. (Although I'm positive the flow of time and space in the Universe will be pierced by the creation of a zombie map and will cause the inevitable destruction of the World and putting an end to life itself!!!...maybe I got a little carried away there)

-Dethadow- Keep those zombie maps coming! \m/

You comment on my zombie map Kl3sk :grin: We have a lot of zombie map but,players just like this kind of maps, and you have much more Hero Defense maps (in most casees similar) so better 1 more zombie map (if have unique quest) then new hero defense almost copy of dota :xxd: Every genre of map is ok but must have some unique staff that makes it different. :smile:

Based on a past experience with this map that was probably made by Shadowhedgehog, I am inclined to give this a 3/5 and a pat on the back. I will not however, vote for anything.

P.S. Don't you need Shadowhedgehog's permission to use his idea/map?

He doesn't reply me.... Well i searched xfire, that user doesn't exist anymore. This isn't his map but idea.
EDIT: I've been a fan of that map because i got pretty pro... however though, the humans are overpowered in his map, so i decided to make another version of my own. I didn't release the previous versions here because they were... well sucked... I don't know if my map is well balanced enough due to the players of my local server are just kinda stupid. Humans gets killed within 5 minutes while I'm safe in my base, or.... zombies gets owned because they took approx ~ 10 minutes to get out of the military's grasp, by that time, the humans have strong bases.
Please send me some feedback and you can edit the map yourself.

LOL, i just opened Mozilla and went to the maps section, there i saw: "Halloween Horrors Gold" and some kind of zombie "Outbreak II"
Seriously, we have so many zombie maps here, it seems like the players demand for them!

Why did you both post extremely off-topic?

"Because it's extremely fun and brainless and we like violating rules!" *Cough* -Aesthetics- oh come on, lighten up, will you? I mean, just by posting that instead of reporting both of us, you also went off-topic too, so please just smile for once, your forehead wrinkles are starting to show!
Oh wait, I went off-topic, how about this :
"Can't wait for improvements on your future version!"
Thank you HiveWorkshop for making this post possible!

This game is awful. And unbalanced.

FIrst off, its NOTHING like the original TVZ. the only thing the same is

1. There are zombies
2. There are Humans
3. The map is similar

Second, its a MASSIVE map. The zombies move slower than the old game, and we have no counter affect. All we do is get zombies every once and a while from a dark portal-esque spell. Meanwhile the humans have these huge bases, there is some military NPC group that keeps harassing me and seems pointless. The point where you get held back by military is impossible alone unless you get lucky or know what you're doing. I preferred just the old waiting time system.

The game is impossible on 1v3. By the time you as a solo zombie get out, everyone is too strong to even compete with, and your so slow theres no way you can find them. You cant leave patrols out because that military spawn is just starting trouble all the time.

The two classes are pointless, especially when you may want to just do a 1v3, which means you cant enjoy the game unless its a FH.

I can go on and on, but I just gave up when my zombie wouldn't attack the towers because he was being attacked elsewhere, getting stuck on them, and i couldn't manually target them (As the objects are small, or something, so the bug wont let me right click them to attack)

I understand you put a lot of work into it, but please go back to the drawing board. This is not TVZ, so change the name too.

I'm voting this down for approval.

I said you can edit this however you'd like for an online B.net game? TVZ is just an abbreviation for "troopers vs zombies", i did not know a map called TVZ existed. If it did, please give me the link. According to what you said, you've been a noob zombie, just use the dark portal outside the wall, cast unholy might and you escaped. First post, and your saying how something sucks whatsoever. Why don't you edit this map and show me what you've got

BTW: In the old map, humans can get really strong fast, every time that I'm human, we win. When I am the zombies, it just depended on luck if you could find the base or not. One more point, this map has a smaller terrain than the old map, you can see that it says Small on map size and medium on the other. The zombies move fast to have it balance, after all, it's easy to escape on the heli if the zombies didn't go fast enough. Don't sound like your an expert on maps (which you are not) because lots of the facts you posted above are invalid. Please give better observations before spending your time writing a negative/false report on other people's maps.

PS: If you didn't know, the zombies move faster than the old map actually. The movement speed is set higher. And I apologize for the tower unselectable bug, that same thing happened to the range tower on the old map. I don't know how to fix it, but since you sound so "pro" why don't you do it? Look! You don't even have a resource!

You also said there were "NOTHING" same like the original, the things the same is.... It's hard to understand your grammar on that
Hiveworkshop isn't a place for you if this is all you know.

PS Impossible with one zombie? My butt!

Lol, Scared? What's there to be scared about? This is the internet.

Moreover, i dont really play WC3 too much. I just am a fan of the original TVZ and although it is a name, it is a brand name and label that forms from popularity. If you have common courtesy, you will rename your game.

To add, this game is still unbalanced. and its slow as hell to play as a zombie. You cant even move that fast which is an unblanced feature IMO. fast moving in-out is a strong tactic for the zombie.

1) The original map is called "Troopers Vs Zombies Pro 4.0" not TVZ
2) The zombies are more balanced than you think if you aren't noob
3) You can always summon the zombies inside the wall if you know how.
4) If you did check the movement speed, the zombies moved faster in this map
5) I told you, make better observations, don't go on posting without knowledge
6) Once the little zombies are inside the walls, using Unholy Might is a COMMON SENSE, and that kinda makes zombie overpowered (depends on skill)
7) If you don't play it, don't post like a fan about it. (TVZ Pro 4.0)
8) Why is it unbalanced when it's more balanced?

Wow, this map should not have "Horror" in its name, it is not even scary in any mean, it is just a "Kill all Zombies" map.
The terrain is a plain mess and it is freaking imbalanced.
Total lack of passion :(
If you feel like criticizing, please also state: why.
This is a basic Hide n Seek, troopers and zombies map. Understand the mechanisms of the game so you know what you're talking about.
