Crazy Tank Arena

[Jireky]

Hya boys.

In this map, you pick one of four tanks and are tranported into arena.
There, you can level up, gain gold from killing, buy items and these things.

You may ask:
"What is so special about this arena? Why should I download this?"
The magic of this map relies on unique shooting system of tanks. Or have you ever played any other map where guy shoots very fast, but his missiles are slow and not homing, so you can evade them and he can tacticize with it by predicting your movement? I bet you didn't.
There's also lots of spells and tactics you can use, since every tank has two active abilites, one passive and one ultimate and higher mentioned shooting system.

Please, post feedback and suggest what would you like in this map.
Thank you.

New version here:
http://epicwar.com/maps/136259/

What's new?

- Increased tank missile speed (So you can use obstacles now better)
- Completely remade all items (Chuck Norris likes it now)
- Added runes (Spawn at 2 places, random of 9 unique effects)
- Fixed various places where you could get stuck at start

+ MANY things that are not worth of mentioning, mostly bugfixes or minor ballance changes.

Also, I'd need someone to help me with multiboard, because I've tried to do it by tutorial and failed miserably.
So if you want, I'll send you the unprotected map and you'll be - of course - mentioned in the credits.

Thank you for downloading and please, I'd like to get some feedback.

Bump.

New fuc***g epic version (compared to 0.2)!!!

New stuff:

- Two more unique tank classes (YEAH!)
- Added rune info (So you can see what each rune does)
- Added clear command (Useful for clearing off that annoying messages)
- Credits got updated (Guess there's actually one improtant guy from Hive)
- Shield item added (Not the hull improvement)
- Title image added (Took me ages to think up the style)
- Player leave message + his units delete added (Useful stuff)

+ MANY minor thingies

Try out, post feedback (Please, I need it to improve this map) and eventually host it (Duh).

By the way, that multiboard is still needed and if YOU decide to help me with that, write me PM, I'll send you the original map and you'll be awarded with +rep and also - of course - mentioned in the credits.

And prepare your inner geeks to get rocked at the 0.4 coming soon. There's some really neat surprise.
... You'll see yourself.

Bump ...

Come on guys! There must be something you want to tell me ...

 

[Tank-Commander]

Yes indeed there is something we'd like to tell you.
Firstly: Bumps should be after a 48 hour time period - you should not be bumping before that
Secondly: Theres an edit button, and it's there to be used - when you update your map edit the first post rather than posting many times.
Thirdly: since you have posted before the allotted bump time and you general lack of the use of the edit button: you have now posted 5 times in a row. D=

Anyway about the map:
Only a single arena?
No customisation on the rounds/kills etc.
The one arena is abit awkward to go around
The tanks abilities are a bit orthodox - theres nothing unusual or 'unique' about them.
Your 'Unique' shooting system is not really unique, The exact same thing has been used in other maps however not using tanks of sorts, more as obsticals to try and run past.

I may add more things to this post later as an edit, not another post.
Also you really need to get that multiboard up.
oh and btw incase you don't know - you can't +rep unless you yourself have 10 rep.

 

[Jireky]

1) There are 2 more arenas coming up in 0.4 since the trigger I used for that by myself actually work and then more as the map will progress.

2) If I don't put up new post with a new version, nobody at all will notice. Hovewer, I didn't know that about the bumps so ... I'll try to respect that.

3) meh. Orly.

4) What maps?

5) meh. Why did it work for me then before? xD

 

[Tank-Commander]

1) Oh good

2) =P

3) Yarly

4) Generally escape maps, Don't remember which ones in particular though, probably some old ones I played a few years ago.

5) May have worked but it adds +0 to the person, even though it may say otherwise.

If 0.3 was "epic fuc***g version" compared to 0.2 ... 0.4 compared to 0.3 is gonna create a black hole out of pure awesomeness!

- Two new arenas (Wave your hands and call three hoorays!)
Ruined city
Merged Islands
- Finally a multiboard! (Thanks, Tank-Commander)
- Kick command (Annoying fags problem solved)
- Repick command (It was needed and now it is here)
- New cool icons for many spells (Bye bye, Warcraft 3 icons!)
- Changed some effects including the Nuke spell (It looks like real mini nuke now)
- Breeze ulti's got damage powered up by 100% and no more damages caster (I admit it really sucked before)
- Armor efficiency increased (From 0.03 ratio per point to 0.05)

+ Tons of minor stuff and ballance changes

This version is now pretty much playable and has already everything essentially needed in it.
Yet, there still might be some misbalances about the classes.

For everybody whose stuff (icons, models) is used in the map and wants to be mentioned in the credits, post here or send me PM and I will do it.

I guess this is not really bad performance of n00b-mapper and I am taking a little break of mapping this map ...
... And I will play it instead!
So if you ever meet a server on BN Northrend with this map on it, feel free to join and enjoy the game.
And of course, I again thank everybody who helped me with this because it wouldn't be really all what it is like now without them.

Bumpz0rs.

 

[Tank-Commander]

Theres a major problem with arena 3 I just noticed - you can spawn in the sea thus make the player get stuck and unable to move. so they would never die (if they were out of range of land) and wou never kill another player.

 

[Jireky]

Okay, I will fix it when I get back to mapping CTA again.

... Or maybe make fixed starting positions which would solve all of these problems ... Hmm ...

Well thanks for reporting anyways.
