[Defense / Survival] Burning Skies

[Daffa]

Alright, some news :
An update is underway, while on it, I decided that I will use Pailan Recommendations for 2 of Arthas' spells and discard two of the current ones.
And of course, time for some model hunting for better troops to each faction.

 

[Sylvie]

Yey! Waiting for it. :3

 

[Dreadwing]

Great! I just doesn't like spells name though....

 

[Daffa]

@Sylvie ; hope I can make your wait worth it
@Dreadwing ; I can just rename them to make it more fitting still with the same effects

 

[WhiteFang]

Waiting for the update

 

[Daffa]

Thank you
I'll be trying my best.

I remember when I played the original mission and I lost with 8 minutes left, I cried out of frustration and didn't touch the war3 campaign for months, but thank god I got passed it.

I know the feeling of getting SO CLOSE and then failing.Very frustrating xD

 

[Daffa]

Yes, I played this mission a lot and frustrating too much as well before I figure a way just to make sure Kel'thuzad don't die
I even risk my whole base back then.

 

[WhiteFang]

I actually love these Defense/survival maps a lot,even though they can be frustrating.They are my 3rd favorite genre of war 3 maps.My first is RPGs and 2nd is TD

 

[Daffa]

Well, yeah, they're need to be a little frustrating but complete able.
It's a challenge of using mind and tactic with what's available

 

[WhiteFang]

Now that we are talking about this i have something to confess:I once smashed my keybord in frustrating rage in a game where i was 2 seconds from victory and died

 

[Daffa]

Those moments.
I don't really recommend Hard mode as it's very possible that might last minute fail occur a lot (lots of unit reinforcement).
Easy and Normal don't have this tendency.

EDIT :
Of course you may try it, but I have told ya, so don't tell me I didn't warn ya
Also, I'm thinking of downing Endless Difficulty, it's very difficult to stay alive even for a hour.

 

[Yuefang]

00:01 time left to win, Kel'Thuzad dies.
Battle of Mount Hyjal:00:03 time left to win.Archimonde get's to Mount Hyjal.
Those two moments were so sad and frustrated for me :c

 

[Daffa]

@Yuefang
Nothing more frustrating than those two eventful defeat.

Okay, I'm reporting this project back alive. I found the 0.1.2 file in my disk so I guess this thing's going forward as hoped.

 

[Daffa]

Well, so far the AI's being trash I wonder if they should even stick to the upcoming version...
I was intending this as multiplayer and AI was never a substitute...

 

[Daffa]

Version 0.1.2 is here!

CHANGELOG :
Removed Skeleton Hall
Added Necromancer Tower and Banshee Tower
Added Another Upkeep Tier
Animate Dead units no longer invulnerable
Low Gold Amount warning increased from 1500 to 2500
Ending Cinematic now erases all units that isn't involved
Tainting Energy added to Falric
Aura of Blight added to Arthas and Norn
Improved Normal and Hard Spellcasters
Removed Battleships
More enemy spawns
Reduce initial assault to Falric's Base

 

[Daffa]

0.1.3 is on the way, just a bump for upcoming update info.

Can't say much for the update, more focused on twisting the tech tree for now. AI comes later I guess.

 

[Colonel Aster]

I hate missions where you have to defend your base until the time runs out

 

[Daffa]

I hate missions where you have to defend your base until the time runs out

But by far, they're easiest ones to tamper and make addition to. At least for me

=====
Perhaps rolling an update this sunday or next week.

I completely agree...

 

[Daffa]

0.1.3 Changelog :
MAJOR FIX : Virus Injection not properly spawn units
Heavily improves Falric's Tainting Energy, Norn's Death Sentence, Arthas' Empower the Scourge, Arthas' Death Coil and Falric's Wave of Death Coils
Added Tier 1 unique ranged unit for Falric and Norn, replacing Crypt Fiend
Added Maiden of Pain and Eredar Warlock into Demon Gate unit list
Added Bounty Bonus for Endless Mode

I REALLY recommend updating to this version, as it fix a major bug regarding Virus Injection which messes the gameplay quite a bunch. Guess I'll work on the AI next before releasing another update.

 

[Daffa]

For Endless Mode, AI is not completely functional yet. I have addressed this for a while but it will be a priority in the next update.

 

[Daffa]

Alright, I'll get to work on the thread and then launch the update around this week
