Oh, put all -- "Directive255", "dorec" and "Dorec the Cakemaster" at once!

if you, some day, play my map, don't forget to type "iwantmycakes". ;)
Cherrymage
Cherrymage
I will always remember this :)

P.S. but I think would be better if you drop some hints at this secret... also you can motivate others to play your map further and with more vigor if you say "To unlock the secret password, you must do xxx"

It aint no rpg lel and the easter egg is only for you. You can always share the command if you wish.
Cherrymage
Cherrymage
hmm, I just think the easter egg would be more meaningful if you do that and also add some gameplay bonuses to the player typing it.
Cherrymage
Cherrymage
btw what type of map are you working on
DatBoi
DatBoi
The terrain is randomly generated, you can pick various races each with unique playstyles, (ex : Dark Matter can morph into any unit in the game, but its a single unit, Demonologist can summon demons to fight for him, Demo requires high micro skills, Dark Matter requires high tactics, since it can use the skills of any unit.) The goal is to kill the main unit of the oponent, max player size 10, also the terrain generator is heavily worked on-

Also i don't think the code should add gameplay bonuses in a PvP game, would be unfair.
Cherrymage
Cherrymage
hmm, I see... a unique idea

btw you can look at other maps such as a Random Terrain Tower Defense (exact name forgotten) and maybe ask their authors to share the code with you. From what I've known, your terrain generator have quite a big room for improvements. Don't worry, I support you :)

How about the second player that reaches 88 kills get the easter egg's password?
Cherrymage
Cherrymage
Ehh, yep. But maybe put some funny music in?
DatBoi
DatBoi
Its more of a strategy kind of game, not just kill, it involves base building too, but those races i named don't have it. Which music do you want?
Cherrymage
Cherrymage
idk actually, just musics that's really funny or songs that have meaning
DatBoi
DatBoi
Also when you join the game this gets said to all players: |cFFFF0000The Cakemaster has arrived! All hail the cakemaster! Thank you for playing my map Directive255!|r.
Cherrymage
Cherrymage
you can also make the musics happen to everyone, but only the one who type the code sees the references to me :)

P.S. if you want, how about upon typing the code by just anybody, all units have their HP reduced by 10%?
Cherrymage
DatBoi
DatBoi
I'll add the music and hp reduction. Thank you for the ideas.
