Battle Tactics [Turn Based Grid Combat] BETA RELEASED
It's about time to bring this project to the public, almost time to beta test!
[Map Name] Battle Tactics (Original huh?)
[Max Players] 4
[Genre] Turn Based Strategy
[Status] Pre-Beta
[Main Features]
-Classic
You start with 1 hero unit and have to aquire goldmines, purchasing units and items on the field.
-Arena
You start with 800 gold which to form your team and purchase items, no goldmines or shops on the fields.
It's been in progress for along time, the first map was coded in GUI (shudder) but wasn't what I wanted the map to be, so I learned vJass and rebuilt it from the ground up, now the only thing actually controlled by normal WC3 engine is the Graphics.
The plan for this map is to provide alot of quality content that is well balanced, while avoiding "over content" bombing of people. The game is easy to pickup but takes awhile to master.
Currently there are a handful of units with their own special abilities and strategy, about 20 items and 3 arenas. All of which are currently being expanded upon, Core system functions are almost complete, finalizing some Round based spells. Content is the last big hurdle, when I'm happy with the state of the map I'll upload here and take any suggestions.
