Rui: This map had previously been approved. Make sure you use the Update button when you wish to submit a new version.

I played it by my self, and man, bacteria are unstoppable if you just let em build. The Mini-Map look terrible, you should replace the gold mine picture with something else. it would become to laggy with all those units running around, maybe you should cap the amount of bacteria allowed, because if everyone is bacteria, then not only are they unstoppable, but the lag would become unbearable. Because of this, i find your map somewhat average but interesting.

Bacteria is slated to get a redesign (in fact I'm half way through right now) but this will not really affect the quantity of units they have. I find your comments interesting because most people say the exact opposite: The combination of splash on towers, and a few units with splash (pills) utterly destroy bacteria. As a matter of fact, a player with osmosis can kill an entire bacteria filled hallway.

At least that's what people say. I do agree that atm bacteria is particularly underwhelming, unless totally upgraded. Any virus left alone long enough becomes too much for the body to handle. That's the trick, the body can't just leave anyone alone.



EDIT: You can't test a pvp game by yourself
The game is designed around the interaction between players. The default body defenses have been periodically weakened due to issues making the game impossible to win as viruses with competent body players.

This edit of velexe's map is the ONLY one I enjoy playing, and the only thing I find rigged is the polio race. (Exact opposite of bacteria)

Hey , i played a few games of this yesterday have have some comments

1st thing: I played an slightly older version and as bob's immune defense , i didnt get to pick the hero , as i was choosing , but then i guess i was too slow and so i didnt get a hero lol. So in that case , u should check it out...maybe add a random pick hero trigger if the menu gets overided by other stuff like a scoreboard being created (maybe its the reason i dunno). Check it out for the viruses too....im not sure about them thou

2nd thing: Yesterday , i played a game and once , the computer bacteria/worms outside the body were "lost". They were hanging around the head and didnt go into the portal .
Unless you've impletmented a Head trauma system , where the skull "cracks" somehow , there was no reason for them being around there LOL....

About the polio race.... i used to think they werent really as good as my fully upgraded bacteria , but then maybe then it was the player being lousy....Maybe you should make them weak to something??? A feedback from a player : Workers have high damage he said 40+ damage... yeah around there.

Also if u can find out , maybe u can have a virus type that "rots" the skin and creates random units in the cell like bacteria and maybe even a worm. And if u gonna make a AIDS virus , add a cell at the mini penis(enlarge it ) lol... then give it a trigger if a AIDs type infected cell is built there , it is enhanced somehow.. ( i dunno ... bonus cash??)


Lungs:Maybe allow the body to create flem in the throat and lungs to make bob cough( flem drags units with it and damages them)
Heart: Let body buy artifical heart , so harder for bob to die.

Amoeba race:I Know its expert , but it is abit weak , ( i know stronger in late-game) maybe when u split , u lose 25 str but shares the rest of the str with the new hero ( unless total is less than 30 str , cause starting str is 15)

Can the body buy pills??? cause i think you should allow the body to buy them late game , but then every 10 pills bought = 5%-10% more pain ( in real life u cant take too much pain killers i think)

thats all i can think of now

I have always liked virus Infection I will play and comment when i have a chance.

i was going to made a map like this but my map was about the Computer Viruses and the types of Computer Anti-virus systems :- ) plus most deadly CPU viruses (Bulgarians) but this mas is cool :- ) (in bulgaria have c pu viruses that infect your cpu so much more than critical 1 virus go inside the system and you need to buy new computer :-/) but the problem with the human viruses is that you cant buy a new body :- D

In Response to Rui, I didn't update the other one because it was a fraudulent version not submitted by myself, or even made by myself.

Bug report!

when viruses repick their race, the hero dies.

However, when the newly picked viruses build a genome capsid, bacterial colony, etc. the dead heroes can be revived enabling the player to control multiple races.

this map is not compatable for 1.24 (until proven otherwise)
