1.0 Story
There are 10 different Races 3 of the Imperium and 7 Xenos batteling out huge fights across the Galaxys.
You pick one of those Races and need clean the Galaxy othe the other Xenos with your Allies or alone.


1.1 Gameplay & Explanations

The Gameplay is based on developing Strategies and overhelming the Enemie Team or Player (based on how much Players per team). You start of with a Mainbase which contains:

Base:
-HQ - This is your Mainbuilding it is vital for the Game, if it is
destroyed you are defeated and all your Units and other Buildings will be destroyed too.

-Secondary Building - Each Race has their own secondary Building which is different in playstyle from another. Space Marines for example can Deep Strike Units with their secondary Building, while other Races Buidlings provides advanced Units, Heros or upgrades and sometimes special Abilitys. This Building is invulnerable and can't be destroyed, except for Tyranids which can build more of this Building anywhere.

-Upgrade Building - Each Race uses one of this kind. You can research lots of useful upgrades here. Some of them are needed to advance in Tech or improves Units, Buildings, Spells or even add New Spells to Units. This Building also is invulerable and will only be destroyed if you Base falls.

-2x Base Turrets - This Turrets have more Health then normal ones and will provide excellent Defense against Rushes and will Protect your Base good for the first like Techs of the Game.

-Plasma Generator - This Generator is invulnerable too. It produces the
secondary Resource "Energy" which is vital for most Units and upgrades to be build.

This completes your main Base and now we can start with the Resources,
there are 2 Resources which are vital for producing Units.


Resources:
-Flag Points (Requisition points) - All Races have an small income which comes with their Mainbase at the beginning. Some Races can upgrade their HQ then this Income will increase too, but your Mainincome Source are "Strategic Points" which are places overall on the Map. At each Map there are a few Strategic Points around the Statlocation and other deeper in the Map. If you canpture a Strategic Point it will be yours then and increases your Requisition income.
Now each Race can build "Listening Posts" on them to provide:

-1. - it increases the Requisition income.
-2. - it will protect the Point from beeing Recaptured by Enemies.

The Listening Posts can be upgraded multiple Times to get Firepower and increased Health and Requisition income.Each Unit except for (Necrons, and Vehicles) havae a standard spell which is called

"Capture Point". Use this spell to capture the selected Strategic Point for
you. But beware, this spell has a cating time of 16 Seconds. The units who casts it can't attack while capturing the Point and is defenseless. If he dies while
capturing the Point will be lost and you need to do it all over again.

-Energy - Energy is produced by the Plasma Generator in the Base (Monolith of Necrons too). You start with a very small income of +1 Energy per Second, but you can uograde the Generator a lot of times each time increasing the Income per Second but the costs of it too. You need to find a good balance of Resources to spend for it and the amount you gain.

-Other Resources - There are two other Resources in the Game.

1. Soul Points - Are used by Dark Eldar. If a organic Unit dies on the
Battlefield it will produce a "Soul" (except Necron Units). Also they can build "Slave
Chambers" which prodcues Sould every few Seconds. "Tortured Salves and Thaloses" of the Dark Eldar can harvest this souls which then gives you "Mana" to the HQ building of the Dark Eldar. This Building can cast "Soulpowers" anywhere on the map which requires Soulpoints.

2. Faith - Is used by Sisters of Battle. Some Units of the Sisters will
produce "Faith" every Second if they are alive and on the Battlefield. The Faith Resource is also based on Mana. Some Units and Heros of the Sisters uses Faith for their Spells which are very powerfull.
The Faith Income will be summated together each Second. It is represented as the Mana income of all this Units. If one of this Units which uses Faith uses on of their Spells, the Amount of "Faith" (Mana) which is required for this Spell from all other Units which uses Faith will be consumed as well.

-Population Cap (Food Limit) - All Races can have a maximum of Unit Limit of 300 which can lead to huge Battles. Each Unit uses Pop cap, smaller ones only few while bigger ones and Super Units uses a lot of Pp Cap. Some Races increases their Pop Cap limit by upgrading the HQ, some by building additional Buildings like Warp Gates, Brood Nests and other. Necrons for example increases theirs by building Obelisks (Listening Posts) as they have no Requisition Resource.

1.3 Systems

Systems used in the Map:

Unit effects
There are a lot of effects on Units. Eah Unit represents their own Model with desing (all standard Warcraft 3 models, to fit their counterparts the best). But for example if a standard Tactical Marine gets upgraded with a Plasma Gun or flamer, you will now see the effect on his Weapon making him easy to spot. Buildings and Vehicles gets effects too. If a building gets upgraded you will see it by an effect on it always knowing which tech it ucrrently is. There are a lot of effects on nearly every unit and racespecific ones.


Multiple Weapons
The multile Weapons system isn't that complex. Much units uses multiple and different ranged weapons with different attack and ranges. For example the Predator Tank. He uses his main cannon which is shown as the damage value of the unit. But he also uses 2 bolters. The additional weapons are based on "Phoenixfire" and will always target the nearest unit. If there are multiple units it shoots on them. If only one is there all 3 weapons shoot on the specific unit. That means while the predator moves the additional weapons will fire while he moves and seek targets automatically. The most noticable unit for this should be the "Baneblade" which uses 8 additional weapons all firing with different effect, cooldowns and ranges.


Strategic Point/Victory Point system
All Strategic Points are neutral at the beginning. If it is captured by you it will change its color and belongs to you now. You can now build listening posts on it. If the Listening Post dies, the Strategic point will be "naked again" leaving it vulnerable to be captured by an enemy, you will loose all you increased income then too. Victory Points on the other hand can't be protected with Listening Posts. You will see a flag and an orb in it if it is captured.
The Victory Point System work as this:
If you have captured 1 Victory Point the enemy counter will be -1 from his 1000 Victory
Points. If he has captured one too it will be -0 on both sides. If you have 2 Victory Points
it will be -2 on his one,but if you have captured 2 and he has 1 it will be -1 on his side.
There are a total of 3 Vicotry Points on each Map.



Cover System
Some Parts on each map provides cover of class:
-Light = +4 Armor
-Heavy = +10 Armor
noticable by a circling effect on the location. If a unit of you gets in cover there will be
an effect over its head and it will receive the armor bonus. But beware any unit can use
cover so it is equal on both sides.



1.4 Game Modes

This map features different Game Modes, options and maps are explained here:

Game Modes:

-Annihilation = In this game mode the Rules are simple. Elimate all Players of the Enemy team by destroying each HQ. This sounds simple but can be hard. Each Base has some defenses and can protect itself additionaly by buildable Turrets. If a Team works together a Players base can be a big Fortress. You just need to concentrate fire on the HQ, but it can be repaired by units too. Huge battles are preassinged here.

-Victory Point Control = Each Teams chances are equal. You only need to capture Victory Points on the map and hold them. You need to own more of them to get the enemy Pointcounter down and win the game. There are a total of 3 Points on each map. The fights should concentrate on them. You don't need to kill any enemies base to win. If a team is close to defeat it can come back with some strategies and if it is able to recapture die points the game can change sides against the winners if they arent able to recatprue the points again.[/COLOR]


Creeps:

Creeps are planned to be a part of this Game by myself and i think the fit wonderfully into the game. Player 1 always has the chance to set Creeps to off at the beginning of the map, but then it is not as much fun :). Some explanation about creeps here:
At the beginning Player 1 need to choose between Creeps on and off. If it is on every Map will contain creeps around "Strategic Points", Cover Regions, Victory Points and neutral Areas. As futher you get into the map the creeps get heavier. The heaviest creeps are always around Victory Points. Creeps are good for leveling up Heros, prevent rushes and for just having fun fights before the real fight.
If set to off no map will have any creep and the paths to the enemies are clear as the sky.


Maps:

There are 4 different Maps to choose from at the beginning. All have their own style,
strategies , creep camps, travel distances, cover regions, ambushes etc.

-1. Kasyr Lutien = A map based in a destroyed City. Each team starts across a river and need to fight over bridges trough the city on the otherside across the other river to reach the enemies. The Victory Points here are realy far away from another so it is excellent for defening specific ones. The map has a lot of cover in different areas. Also there are a lot of creep groups to meet.

-2. Mortalis = A realy small map based in a circle like position. All Players meets up in the middle. Each player has 3 Strategic Points around the base and there are no other ones anywhere so there is no big resource farming here. The middle of the map is a deathtrap for the beginning, there are huge amounts of strong creeps there. All 3 Victory Points are very close to eachother on the middle of the map so this could be a though fight...

-3. Penal Colony = The nearly biggest map. Each Player start off on a Plateau which provides also cover bonus. There are a lot of Streets and ways to move between. The map is based in a city with gardens and stuff.
The Victory Points are very far from eachother. There are a lot of small and strong creepgroups around a lot of Locations. The teams play in a diagonal like position to
eachother. The distances between players from same team are far and dangerous in between.

-4. Doom Chamber = A map based in a Overflooded waterarea. This map is not equal on all sides it is as ranodm as it gets. All paths and Startlocations are different from eachother. Each player needs to find the very few Strategic points scattered across the map first. Teamwork is big here, there are a lot of single creeps in the water as well as small creep camps. All 3 Victory Points arein the middle and well protected by huge Creep camps an dangerous foes. The Victory Points have a small distance between though.


1.5 Usefull Tactics & Hints

Here are some Tactics and Hints you should know:
-When capturing a "Strategic Point" far away you should capture it with mutliple
units because the capturing unit can't be attack while capturing and some concentrated fire can bring it down realy fast, heros works wonders here they take much more damage ao they are very good for capturing points.

-You should first build 1-2 Units to capture and if able to instantly some hero at the
beginning. Heros are realy strong and can deal with creeps easily at the beginning while
small groups of standard units get overhwelmed easily. Heros also gain exp for creeps.

-Tortured Salves should be places very close near upgraded Torture chambers, they will then eventually harvest sould automatically. You always can rightlick on them manually if they are to slow for you.

-Try to use cover bonuses while fighting against opponents, they can decide sometimes the turn of the fight. They are always easily visible by a circling effect on the area.

-Try not to engange Creep Camps with small Unit groups, this could end in a disaster.

-On maps like Kasyr Lutien share the Strategic Points between eachother. Each Player should have 2 Strategic Points near their Base and on across the bridge, it is enough for everybody.

Do not steal the other Points for yourself, you could piss off your teammates and eventually loose the game.

-Type in -music off/on tu turn on/off music while the game is running. Music is set to on
from the start.

-Try to master one race and get good with it, you can always try all Races but you should stick with one main one. Also try to find some good Race mixes with your Team.

Thanks for reading this walls of text, but this was necesarry to get a deeper look for the map and an understandment of how things work. The rest you should try by yourself.
Unfortunately i wasn't able to create a Multiplayer game so i can only assume that all things work correctly even so i tryed my best in singleplayer to set things right. There is NO! AI in this maps. If you are able to make one send me a private message then i give you an unprotected version.
Of course you should test it for me with multiple Players and alle the Races and Mechanics and Stuff and then report me bugs or anything you find. Also Balance imrpovements are welcomed here to improve the map, even the slightest ones,if you have any ideas share them with me here. Thanks for reading again and Have fun.

If you play in multiplayer races option (except the host) is not working, but map very good.

I'm realy sorry for this :(, the problem is i can't host. I need someone to help me with this then, someone who can host and i would join as second player.
To the orange point problem: If you have Annihilation game mode selected all the points will be removed because they are not needed then.!

Hey, dat-c3 , no after a lot of testing and systems i tryed the only solution for making this was adding all units in unit group, then if the orbital relay effect dies, not moving them instead of this removing them from the game and creating 1 new type of each at its position. You didn't notice it in game. But thats why heros can't drop, if they get removed the level of them would be 0 or you had to select all skill again and thats not good.


Btw: I cant fix the stupid bug, so i make a new system without having to wait for other players i will upload the maps soon!


Edit: Map is fixed and uploaded, have fun! and dont forget to write down bugs, balance changes in here to improve the map!


Edit 2: Finaly after lots of bugs, i removed nearly every trigger of the selection system and made new ones. Lots of system didnt work as planned in multiplayer. With Traners help by testing with me we tested a lot and finaly all is functional thanks for his help :). I also fixed some other bugs i found. This new version should be stable. Hope you enjoy and sory for the complications :).

Edit 3:
on 03.06-2012 00.09

I have tested a lot with Traner and his friend , thanks to them big time :). I fixed many bugs and added new things. Here is a complete list this is a big update to the map:
v1.04
Gamebreaking bugs:
-Strategic points now get back to neutral if the Listening point on it dies or you cancel the building process. This prevents a bug from beeing unbuilable if captured.
-Enemy strategic points now can be captured with the captue spell! This was a bug too.
Other:
-Space marine commander veteran upgrade picture fixed onupgrade level 2
-Added jump to living saint and hellion, fixed jump spell by reating new spell, fixed stormboys with this. The jump spell and stikkbombz spell was the same and overlaped themselves.
-Added Unit summon spell for Restored Monolith, now you can spawn each Necron unit from ne Restored Monolith.
-Fixed Necron Energy income from monolith, and Multiboard text.
-Necron additional Buildings now are invlunerable. (summoning core, forbidden archive)
-Fixed Necron and normal Plasman Generators in higher tech to generate the right amount of energy of +2 per upgrade
-Added death effect for restored monolith on death.
-Resource income is now 0 if you are defeated.
-Essence of the Deceiver/Nightbri nger mana cost reduced, so it can be used instantly if researched.
-Attack Scarabs and Drone Harbringer Drones damage reduced.
-All HQ's Armor increased to 35 from 15.
-Creeps now get stronger by 10% for each Player instead of 15%.
-Fixed Victory conditions for Annihilation once again.
-Added Vehicle death explosion effects.
-Fixed Hellions to work correctly.
-Fixed Warriors bug that they cant take damage.
-Upgraded Falcon transport slots fixed to 8 from 2.
-Reaver Jetbike jump added.
-Hormagaunt cost reduced to 90 form 100, Termagants to 95 from 105.
-Genestealer with Bone claws spells fixed to be displayed correctly.
-Zoanthrope attackspeed slightly increased.

Uhm, I've got a question: when did the Lictors and Meganobz get elevated from shock troops to commanders? I don't think you did this for gameplay purposes, since Nids have TWO more commander units that you did not use (and Orks have one), and some other armies also only have two types of commanders.
And no Daemons?

Great map, and great choice of the models!(Hum there's no model?)

But there is one thing that I find strange, this map is inspired by DAwn of war I and II right? So where are the squads? The sergeant of the squad? You made the map like that or you forgot to do it?:vw_wtf:

Without that the map is great and very funny when you're full!:goblin_good_job:
