Nice map, however, it took me quite some time to find out that there are two kinds of modern builder, one with just the standart, and one for space research, also, I coulnd't find out how to build a lunar base. (and space bases can be build on land)

 

[Mankiller]

Ill be sure to fix that next version.

 

[SunZhao]

Im not sure if this will be any help. but during a game with a friend. I believe I was in the post-industrial. and was about to advance.
When I heard the sound, like if someone left and you got shared control of their units.
Then warcraft III froze, causing me to have to restart my computer. other than that.
I love this map. xD

 

[Leftyjohn]

I have had same problem as SunZhao but at a different point during the game.

One time it crashed as i was upgrading to Industrial and the other time it crashed while i was in Medieval.

 

[DarkKnight]

Then the crashing is probably the problem.

 

[Mankiller]

Now I just got to figure out how to locate bugs like that. lol. can anyone point me in the right direction?

 

[DarkKnight]

I'll try to crash mine XD.

 

[Mankiller]

Im still searching for whats crashing a few games, but the next update should be out by next weekend.

 

[DarkKnight]

Ok, cool, btw, why can't you travel outside of your own territory in the beginning of the game?

 

[Mankiller]

Newest version uploaded, fixed a few bugs and errors in abillites. Also now shows future goals of this project in the tech tree with the phrases (Not Implemented yet) to better help in what you wish to research.

You can not leave the begining area untill you advance in age. Each age advancement you will have access to a new area and enemies, each new area has a Capitol to capture.

 

[DarkKnight]

Yea.. uuhm, the only problem was, I couldn't go into any area, no matter how far I aged =/

 

[Mankiller]

What color were you on, I know there were a few planets like that in the earlier versions, but I thought I fixed them all.

 

[Tau Empire]

Well I got a problem I can't seem to find it in my Download folder of Wc3, name is probably to long for it to be seen.

 

[DarkKnight]

Dunno what colour I was, but I was on a green foresty planet, with the portal thingy to the south-west, the first enemies comming from the north, the second from the east, further there are no entrances, the starting place is surrounded north, north-east, and east by water and a couple of groups of trees, your main building starts on a green hill with some rocky texture running allong on two sides, that's just about what I could remember ^^.

 

[Mankiller]

Fixed both probloms with it not showing up and with the one planet's (blues) bugs. I also added 2 options for red. Allies/FFA and Computer Spawns on/off for the begining of the game.

 

[Tha Flamestorm]

Yah, you should make the comps on your "earth" one would call it, Advance as you advance, so its not as hard, [i'm sick of being medieval and being able to kill fucking modern shit!]

 

[Hevenblood]

The woodcutter can build buildings form a regular melee game or is that suppose to be there?

Its a pretty good map. 7.5/10


It crashed while i was playing.

 

[Mankiller]

No its not, but I just updated and fixed it. lol
Still trying to find the cause of the crash though, it seems commen enough, but it never happens when I play. So frustateing.

 

[Tau Empire]

With this new dumb patch 1.23 I can't play this game... so I cannot review it.

 

[DarkKnight]

It also never crashed with me =/

 

[Mankiller]

With this new dumb patch 1.23 I can't play this game... so I cannot review it.

Whats patch 1.23. Excuse me if its a dumb question. lol

 

[Tau Empire]

Patch 1.23 is a new patch to play on Battle.net. Just go on the Hive main page (News page) find Warcraft 1.23 patch and you will understand.

 

[ivekk]

so far i would give this map a rating of 1/5. why?
The map,for me,at some random moment in the game freezes,this happens EVERY time i play it.Fix that.
other than that it's good.

 

[DarkKnight]

It might be usefull if you state when it freezes, as I never had a crash, so I can't help the developer, and as it crashes every time you play, you might say what you were doing, before the crash.

 

[Mankiller]

Yes, that would help out a lot! lol

 

[Tau Empire]

Ok.. well apparently what Blizzard said about how to fix it is by naming the map into something smaller (at least that's what Peter N. said). He has no other information on how to help out.

 

[Tau Empire]

Ok I found a bug with it, it freezes when your starting to produce a Main Battle Tank, plus navy is invulnerable... and what the fuck is with these Soviet things?

 

[Mankiller]

Ah, so it might be something with the modle or I have somehting set difrent in the trigger settings about mechanicle units, either way ill get to work on it right away and figure it out.

Whats wrong with the Soviet things? Glorry to Mother Russia!

 

[DarkKnight]

I want my murloc back >.< I usually rely on avatars to recocnise people, this soviet stuff doesn't help...

 

[Tau Empire]

I never said there's something wrong with Soviet it's just that it happens the day before April Fools (maybe not in Australia ,Japan and Europe but still.)

Are you gonna Implemented the Chariots and the No Miner soon? When I start off with red 5 seconds later all my bases are dead by brown he has tanks and stuff I like I was like WTF?!?! so when I restarted I had to use whosyourdaddy lol.

 

[Mankiller]

lol. Yes, that was when 1.5b was out. It was only than that I relised that I released the test map not the actule one. I fixed that earlier though, newest version is posted.

 

[DarkKnight]

Lol, so, are you planning on adding something new after all the mayor bugs are out?

 

[Tau Empire]

What would be cool if he added another age: The Galatic Age or something like that.

 

[Bountyhunter306]

Right.

What would be cool if he added another age: The Galatic Age or something like that.

This is ONLY a beta. We are currently fixing bugs, balancing, adding units, and barely finishing space age (well, i am at least).

We figure that after you beat this (when its finished), and u conquer the sector, you will recieve a code for the future sequel. When your in the sequel, you load the code, and you are a galactic emperor, ruling the galaxy- hopefully with around 30 planets and land locations- but thats not planned to be finished until late '09 early '10.

We might overhaul this if we are truly unhappy with the end result, and make it into just a plain spacial warfare map, or make it into a more space-land RTS, with basics, like in Galactic Conquest.

 

[DarkKnight]

=/ I like it atm...

 

[Mankiller]

Hart!? You changed your name (again).
Yes we do have much more to add once we fix all th major bugs, (2 remaining). If we ever do overhaul it or change it like what BountyHunter306 said, we would make the funchanged part open source for someone else to take up if intrested.

 

[DarkKnight]

Ok, I do hope if the change comes, it won't make the map boring =/

 

[Mankiller]

You can see the changes we will make in the quest menu. I realy want to do the flexible tech tree as well as all the diplomatic abillities, I know hart was going to implement a story for players to follow.

 

[Tau Empire]

Communism FTW lol.

So any idea when the new updated version is gonna be released?

 

[Mankiller]

It all depends on when Hart finishes, honestly I have no idea, but ill push Hart to have it done by the end of saturday.

 

[DarkKnight]

As long as you don't totally kill him and kill (half of) the project too, I'm fine with that XD.

 

[Darkmega]

So far so good for me with this version...only problem is... would you please make the camera switch buttons something else....cause being myself I actually use both my hands while playing Warcraft...one to scroll the screen with the arrows the other to use the mouse and click stuff. cause I would play this more if I could use the keys and have my fluent movements back. -.- so that's something to consider for a few people... as far as that I never get past very early industrial, so I wouldn't know what else there is too it. but it looks like a very good make non-the-less...

 

[Eldrazor]

Dude, seriously, make the buildings only be buildable on buildable ground, cuz I got a freezed wc3 when I tried to build somewhere where I think I shouldn't be able to build. I think that was inside a pathing blocker or something like that. Also, I couldn't upgrade to the post-medieval (I think it was stronghold or sth) age, even after I captured the enemies base. And the enemies still spawned at their base after I captured it.

 

[DarkKnight]

First off, in reality you can also build everywere =/
second, I've got no experience with the game freezing, and else, don't try to build in a pathing blocker -_-'
third, have you build/upgraded every building? becouse ages don't come with conquering, but with building.
fourth, the key-change would be appreciated indeed ^^.

 

[zared7]

pretty good map but still,needs a little more working 4/5

 

[zared7]

pretty good map,ill give it 4/5

 

[Tau Empire]

Would help if you didn't double post.

How's the update going?

 

[Mankiller]

Ok, Im realy considering makeing this open source as no one on the team has the time to dedicate to the map. Any outside thoughts?
