Tested, and theres no cannons, and when you build a slot the slot is given to the Ship and not the player, rendering you to be able to do nothing at all.

Edit: Nevermind, you have to be over the slot, make it so you can be next to the slot as well.


Edit again: The Canon slot activator doesn't activate at all.

It works for me, are you sure you used Cannon Activator, not Device Activator?

 

[The Wolf_91]

there is a bug your worker can go to enemy base and build

 

[Anti_Bodies]

perhaps you should do some heavy duty multiplayer testing? make sure everythings right with all players. thats what i do to hammer out all possible bugs.

Hi.
First of all you got to active the small device slot after that select the slot and build "Captain's Quarters" then build "Active Cannon Slot" you will get a wisp, go to the cannon slot (With the wisp) and active it, select it and build your cannon.

Going to test it more now, but looks like a nice and original map

Edit:
Ok, Played it multiplayer and players didn't know what to do, I suggest you to write details IN MAP like you did on this website..give players 30 sec to read to understand the map before starting to play,loading or the "Quest" because everyone is so confused and I have to explain the map but while I do that I already got few cannons and have the advantage :/, You did write descriptions of devices and buildings but you missed the Cannons, took me a while to understand which cannon do what and I wish I knew what damage they do.
Making it 4 vs 4 would make the map more fun.

For the future you might also make a better terrain(Fishes,seaweed etc, a terrain!), get a better ship model so it would look like a SHIP and not a pile of wood.

1 of my cannons got destroyed, I couldn't use the slot anymore, supposed to be like that or a bug?

How do you find device slot? after a while it was difficult for me to find an empty device slot I could use, make something to see/notice them.
Just a suggestion, make unused activators as unused builder (You know what I mean) I hope you do XD.
Change the color of Large Device Slot to other than blue(If possible would be easier to see if its small or large slot).

Game progressing kind of slow, increase the missile speed.
Add more cannons and upgrades, just work on the map.

Scoreboard: The Human Ship and the HP Percentage are merged (See Screenshot)

Well I had to wait about 5 minutes until I finished off the other ship (all left) and the missiles are really slow, and the victory message is bugged (see screenshot)

2/5 for now.

I found this map very fun.
It is a different, creative twist on Missile War.
However, it still needs work.
I am talking about this like the mana condenser not having any upgrades, there are not enough large buildings etc.
There were also multiple bugs, for example the greater shield can be upgraded into a fortified one...
Make the treasure chest model bigger, add more building slots, make the enhanced mana generator bigger.
But despite all this, I still found this map very enjoyable, when all the bugs are gone I will change my rating to 5/5 but for now...
4/5

 

[M0RT]

Thx to Professor and Wereguy, I used most of your suggestions for 1.1, which I just released.
Now there is a brief guide, it can't be turned off, so I just hope it won't annoy experienced players too much

 

[ProfessorZmurge]

Now its better.
When someone leaves there should be a notification.
Scoreboard is still like it was.
Keep working on the map

 

[wereguy2]

Good changes, but what happened to the large device activators?
I liked the mana income feature for the workshop though.

 

[Tleno]

I love it! I had more fun with it than with Missle war! Only it has few bugs... You should fix them ASAP. I hope this will motivate you (+rep).

 

[M0RT]

Large devices are currenty unaviable (mana condenser did't work at all). As soon as there are any usable Large devices, the activators will be back.

I would appreciate any bug reports, i believe 1.1b has no serious gaming bugs (the scoreboard will be improved somehow), now I am focusing on some new features (for example, everyone has tons of gold later, I think some other uses for gold are necessary). Also, the mana battery upgrade tree has to be filled, now there is only one way how to upgrade, I would like EVERY building to have 2 different upgrades.

So, every idea is appreciated, there is a lot to do here.

is your keyboard still working?

 

[Ice_Eagle]

A pretty nice map, but there has GOT to be more components than that. Add new devices.
Also, the gameplay is a little more Warcraft 3 era (i.e. glaive throwers, meat wagons, magic towers, etc.).
Other than that, no comment.
4/5 for the lack of devices.

 

[Eldrazor]

Do you know that you write "Cannon" instead of "Canon"?

 

[Cweener]

Mass Purging Template Version 3.0
Approve.

Any Personal Comments?
Nope.

 

[GONZALORD]

nice map, good triggers, and a very nice gameplay i like the map im waiting for new versions

 

[Tleno]

See you decided to update it... hmmm, just of boredom or decided to finish what you started?

 

[warblazer]

i suggest more upgrades and fixing the problem where if you have a lot of generators, if you tell 1 to transfer, 2 other ones wont be able to do anything, otherwise great map

 

[M0RT]

I didn't update it, and I am not planning to. However, I am developing a simillar game for starcraft, but much cooler than this (the basic motive will be the same, but for example, the ships will move, you'll get to use tons of dialogs, there will be duel system,...)
