Big map... stuff cost a lot... got bored before round 3.

Recommendations:
Make the way points smaller.
Make the distance between points smaller.

 

[skillful]

is wave 40 suppose to be killable?
my friends and I managed to kill the damage tester and the map just hangs at wave 41 lol

 

[EMPerror]

thx.
Updated version is in the making, if you've got any suggestions, please tell me.

Not bad at all.

I like the way you build together...only problem i noticed is noobs lol.

More races would be cool but its a working progress i suppose.

4/5 for now.

Really fun map .

Thanks Yeah, more races will come I guess.

I tried it single... it's not possible... i think that you kinda messed up the resource icons, you also got to change the one shown at the cost. The idea's good... but i'm somehow having a hard time believing, that the plant, who jhates nail colour, does the damage it says... it couldn't kill lvl 1'ers... only bring them down to 1 life... i suggest improvement... and an AI / testing pals... Any1 want to start a testing group for this 1?

 

[LordDz]

Yeah, that's how poison works in wc3. Remember: You get shared control of the two other players if there are no players in their slots/they are computer players.

So if plant makes people go to 1 hp.. put a guy that deals 5 dmg about 30seconds away!

AI won't be in, the purpose of the map is to create a good maze, something that you and your teammates should do, not what something an old computer should say to you.

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

well, then you could say "-1p Mode" where you can place 10-20 mazing rocks. instead of getting shared control. getting multiple races will create a different gameplay, because you will, as an individual, have acces to 3 times as many structures. it's not the purpose of "the real game" (i mean with other players) i think you gotta scrap that little AI bit, and instead give, e.g. the money owned by the coms to the other players. i'll soon get a friend to play it with me.

Except that by doing that, the player getting all the gold can instantly build a way better tower than what he should be allowed to do , thus creating a hell big unbalance.

And seriously.. Why play it alone, it's called COOP TD, since when was COOP meant for single player?

First thing i do when i play a new map is try it with a few people or solo.

If the solo experience is good, then I know i will not be wasting my time trying to get a Full house in an unknown map.

I've annoyed a few friends to say the least when i said, hey I got a 50 TD-map-pack, lets go have some fun... Think we found maybe 1 or 2 that were some what fun to play.

If that doesn't convince you, then consider these scenarios:
1) you have 2 people, you can't really play the game
2) you have 3 people, you can play the game with one team in a team-solo style.
-- Or you could have gone 1v1v1 if the option was available.
3) odd number of players 4/5/7/8, everyone says GO OMG GO!!!... Ok you know either all leave or they lose in game... Lose/Lose situation.
-- Or you could have had odd-#-gameplay 2v2, 2v3, 3v2, 3v3v1, 3v3v2.

 

[LordDz]

If you have two people, why doesn't one of you just control the third worker?

If you have odd player numbers: the computer slot / none slots are shared to the player in the team.
Hell, being alone in one team can be far greater than being 3 , that way you can build your own maze without any idiot who doesn't understand what mazing is.

.... i don't know what coop means... isn't it some kind of chicken-house?

[Gamecrafter_DK]

oh... 5 minutes after i posted, i found out that you meant co-op XD but i was chased away from the computer... sorry, that sounded extremely noobish XD

 

[LordDz]

No problem

Btw, fixing new version now: All creeps will have x2 health, but will give x2 more gold. Like some folks wanted.

 

[EMPerror]

ok i tried out this map and i got this to say :

-Gameplay was awesome, i love playing as a teamplayer, so this was the TD for me
-GJ with the shared bounty, and the overall idea of the game
-also gj with the towers

a couple of other things to say :

omg this game was hard! the first few waves are ok but after that it gets really hard! i'd suggest that u can build walls 1 round earlier, or even from the start! it is really hard to get anywhere without them, since the cheapest tower is 5g.

and i dont think bounty is distributed right, i often had less gold with one builder.

and i really think u need to put in a table with the resources of all ur builders, u know one of those "team resources" tables so i know how much gold my other builders have(talking about single player mode)


so overall, great map keep it going

 

[EMPerror]

well, are u going to continue work on this? it is really a good map and id really like to see it go up

 

[LordDz]

The only problem I have at the moment is the blocking of units, I'll see if I can fix that

Until that, select your shared buildings and you can see that players' resources.
