Building Plots or Build Anywhere?

[Ghost765]

Do you prefer a limited number of building plots to build buildings in (obviously) or the regular wc3 build-anywhere-unless-youre-undead?

Building plots are more realistic imo. I'm trying to persuade my teammate to use that in our project

 

[TheDivineBoss]

I love the building plots, like in the old games of C&C Tiberium Sun or Red Alert 2.

Anywere.. freedom for everyone, besides that i like to build big bases

 

[Ghost765]

for clarification, i meant building plots as in building plots in the original Battle for middle earth, Halo Wars, and so on. I've only played a few CnC games and they didnt seem to have building plots.
well anyways, i think i'll add a building plot system to my map, it's not too hard to make.

 

[Mechanical Man]

Well Generals doesn't have them. But other CnC games have them.

i played the one between the soviets and the americans, it was in 2d.

I usually prefer to build anywhere, but it really depends on the game.

Building plots = <3

Wc3 style, that way you can make buildings block more easily.

i still dont understand what a building plot is.

It's when the game specifies the places you can build structures, and it usually gives you 5-10 build plots, so you have to be strategic about which buildings you place. It can either increase or decrease the difficulty level of the game, depending on how well it was done.

 

[Just_Spectating]

building plots.

No building at all.
<3 DoW II.

 

[Deathcom3s]

No building at all.
<3 DoW II.

that wasn't an option.

 

[Ghost765]

Dow II is intresting tho, it focuses on Squad based combat using cover and such, such a harsh difference from DoW I on Into the Breach...my god... i remember i lost 3,000 or so assault and regular terminators against a never ending tide of orks.

anyways, i'm planning to make an Imperial Legions vs Demons map, and i wanted to add soemthing fun.

 

[Tyranid]

that wasn't an option.

You're not an option!

I like both tbh.
