Battle of the Bulge (BotB) v7.4

[ReddSpyder07]

NEW GAME ANNOUNCEMENT
~BATTLE OF THE BULGE~
Brought To You By: ReddSpyDer07

Hey guys, I'm new to Hive and I thought I would spread awareness about my new map => Battle of the Bulge.
The purpose of this thread is to present screen shots and different aspects of the game so that people can become interested in it.
It is out of beta development but I will continue to add to it with the help of whoever gives ideas and suggestions.

===================================================================================================

~THE BASICS~

This is a modern, WW2-themed, AoS. For those who do not know what an AoS is, it a type of gamestyle.
There are two computer controlled sides which send out waves of units and your job is to kill the enemy base.
To do this, you choose a hero and push the frontline forward. Team work is important to winning in any AoS.
There are many things that separate this game from other common AoS maps such as DotA.

===================================================================================================

~THE HEROES~

There are 11 heroes to choose from, all of them entirely new heroes that you have never played before.
More will come in later versions. Hero ideas open to suggestions!

-Sniper Commander
-Biological Commander
-RPG Commander
-Rifleman Commander
-Tank Commander
-Medic Commander
-Assault Commander
-Flamethrower Commander
-Frostthrower Commander
-Engineer
-Spy

===================================================================================================

~THE GAMEPLAY~

There are new concepts in this game that make this game very fresh. In previous AoS's the main focus is on killing other heroes only. However in BotB the focus is more on killing units more so than heroes, although both are important. Whenever you kill a unit (they are easy to kill and there are loads of them) you gain Kill Streak. You use this KS to buy upgrades, some items, and to send in reinforcements. When you are killed your Streak ends and you lose all of your KS. This means keeping alive is vital to winning. But, KS can be bought so that way when you are killed, you arn't entirely screwed.

There is also income in the game which is called your Salary. Everyone starts off with a Salary of $1. What this means is that every second you will recieve 1 gold. Every 5 kills will increase your Salary by 1.

===================================================================================================

~THE ITEMS~

BotB is filled with items that will keep your hero pimped out. Grenades, Ultra Grenades, Smoke Grenades, Land Mines, Sticky Bombs, Concentrated Napalm, Concentrated Mustard Gas, Machine Gun Towers, Bunker Towers, Artillery Gun Towers, and 4 Tiers of Hero Items are just some of the things you can use. The following screen shots are showing the 4 Tiers of Hero items. They do not require recipes and they only cost gold and Kill Streak which means you wont have to waste time looking around finding required items. There are towers that you can build to have a stragetic advantage and to cover flanks. (The last 4 items in Tier 4 will come in v7.5).

===================================================================================================

~THE LINK~

So enough reading and go try the game for yourself! The game can be played on battle.net or you can play it solo. Please give me feedback and post replies to this thread giving your opinion of the game and any suggestions of what could be added/fixed/you know. Have fun and thanks or reading!

IMPORTANT NOTICES:
I need someone to make a totally f-ing awesome and epic loading screen/preview screen image! I want people to see the preview screen while browsing through maps and and stop and think "this looks badass". Major credit will be given to whoever creates the image that will attract the most eyes. PM me or reply if you are interested!

Sounds funny... puff puff pass... lol XD. Well, I hope you gave much afford to the terrain.

Looks promising. I'll download the map and give you something once I see how it goes.

The only concept I didn't get was the Kill Streak; is it a resource or something?

Kill Streak Clarification

ya Kill Streak is like lumber. It determines how much gold you get with each kill. When it is really hight you get a lot gold each time you kill a unit. But when you die your KS goes down to 0

Looks awesome. The items are badass and i like the killingspree idea. Now theres more to an AOS than just killing heroes as a main priority. +rep.
