Hey no problem man, always happy to help out exellent maps like this one.

You may want to capitalize "front" to make it a little more proffesional?

 

Information:


As a Reviewer of the Map Reviewers Group, I joined the THW Cleaning Event.
I end up writing a fast review, or just posting the end state of the map, rating is not always included!


Current State for this map: Approved


I will contact the moderator to Approve/Reject the map, depending on what you recieved.

 

This game name nids a capital F lol. it looks weird being Death front rather than Death Front

Btw this game seem to be somewhat nice, something like zombie outbreak, which is also awesome. Although zombie outbreak cant play anymore T-T (the new wc3 ver probs)

 

What about a rank system with save load feature.. So that will make players playing not only for fun, maybe something we can gain... let u think that

 

I like this map as it is now. I don't think the suggestions given here will make the map any better. The reason is given in the description of the map:

Stuffing a bunch of unnecessary items/features into the game will greatly reduce the level of simplicity, while making the map more and more the "deja vu" type ("Hey isn't the 'Rank: Private' thing sounds just like that map Survival?" "Dude I thought this was a zombie hero defense, not a TD", you got my idea)

Anyway, 5/5 for the map as it is now. Original and fun.

P/S: I actually like this kind of terrain, a never ending wasted flat. It feel so... desolate, so lonely, really scary lol xD

 

Hi! i have tried your map and it was pretty fun. But you could die easily. So when i tried it with a friend we still ended up dying. So my suggestion is, maybe if possible, add a AI? To even the odds incase theres only 2 people playing?

 

Hi! First of all, thank you guys for playing my map! I'm still alive and I'm still working on it (a bit). For the moment I'm in the army and I don't have much time to work, but a new version should come soon

I totally agree, that's why I rejected a lot of suggestions. Don't worry, I'm trying to make the map more complete, but keeping it simple. I don't want a total mess of hundreds items...etc. By the way, thank you very much for rating!

Yes, as I said, it is a hard game and you may die a lot of times if you are beginner. I'm not going to add AI, because it is always balanced. That means the more players you are, the more there are zombies, but I know it is hard if you never played before, so I'll make an "easy difficulty" mode for beginners. In addition, if I have enough time, I could try to make a small tutorial to really learn how to play correctly. I played a lot of times with only one friend and I ensure you that it's even easier if you are a small team.

 

i played this map and i like it the gameplay is awsome but the terrain is Plain add some doodads! but the game play is awsome 4.75/5

 

Ok guys, I'm finished with the army now and I've had time to upgrade my map. The 1.1 version is out! Check out the changelog. Tell me if you found some bugs and tell me how far you got . Have fun!

 

The death front

I know this might be long but please bear with me here

Well lets see...Your the reason why i made an account here because i cant put a comment unless i get an account

you know, those houses are really a drag when you wanna repair a barricade and it is behind that certain house, is it ok at least that the repair skills wont be able to be used on the house cause its getting kinda annoying wasting your mana on a house.

The classes are good but let me suggest some "ideas"

If there will be any new categories of items in the tent other than weapons, materials, medicine etc. maybe just put an icon which leads you to another set of buttons xD

no cars please, because you don't get them out there in the wilderness
if there are cars maybe let the air force give a category of vehicle equipment and let the engineer assemble the car/cars.

i say the soldier is best for beginners, with that in mind please put the jump ability only on that certain class...after all, i think soldiers who specialize in killing should at least be agile, and because they got nothing else to do but "bang bang, BOOM or bonk some ghoul on the head. "o yeah i forgot a soldier is only limited to 4 abilities xD but you know what...the soldier only has 3, so there is enough space for a jump skill .

now about my idea earlier about engineer building cars. maybe the car would just be a recipe item that needs of course the items and the recipe/manual to build the car. then the car just pops up. or idea number two...

"car body" item, sets up an unfinished car on the ground then just pick up the "engine" and "fuel", give it to the car then a manual that has a spell so the car would be complete when you cast it on "it". please note that if i mean fuel it means something that last for the whole mission. after all, no car with a full tank of fuel will be empty in less than 12 hours. enough time to finish the game.

ok the landing beacon limited use is good, spikes...has a problem with it's attack. The spikes only attack when something beside is being attack so they dont attack zombies that just pass by which is kinda annoying, please make the spikes have at least a small range attack, range attack that is as long as the melee, so that they are more aggresive and not ignore passing zombies. barricades good, torches...good enough.

i have no complaints about the medicine, weapons and primary supplies because its all to basic.

useless comment> add a tactical nuke

hey who likes pets? how about adding a dog or something for our beloved soldier class marine. dog also jumps xD and can fetch 1 item at a time.

And if your making this game more complicated, make the grenades, rockets, mines, err... all those boom things have friendly fire so that no one would just throw stuff that explodes everywhere ignoring the fact that you threw the grenade beside you or your team, just for safety, give the barricades 50% resistance to spells.

can you add some extra things on the status board like number of visible zombies, normal, hunter, tank. zombies killed, etc. "or is that a bad thing because it will hinder the vision of the gamer with that big of a status board?

hey here's an idea. different ground makes the soldier have different MS speed and when zombies are on blight they are 25% stronger. so that building a base is harder.
please though, if this is implemented the blight should not be more than 60% of the map, i do have that feeling that more blight will be a problem.

Hmmm...Maybe make use of that spider thing in the undead race as a model for a new zombie that only has 1 attack damage but has that infectious aura that is 2/3 the length of the marines rifle, its like a zombie wherein its purpose is to infect marines that come too close. make it at least 2 to 3 times more hp than the average zombie, but of course lesser spawns compared to the zombies but a bit more spawns compared to the hunter variety. note i said that the infectious aura that it generates is 2/3 the length of the marines rifle is so that you could defeat it and avoid the aura. this has a score point of 3 on my opinion. tip: no super duper fast infection aura please. And just a bonus, it may have 1 attack and probably give it a slow MS speed, but when a marine gets hit, he is severely infected. xD

ok...im running out of ideas.

maybe just put some circuit boards and its chassis so that you could make some gadgets some ideas,

CAMERA: like a torch but no truesight vision: probably make it invulnerable so that you could put it anywhere and is more usefull like that: putting a timer on it is really...not a good idea, it is after all something you put together which is hard in the game and it will just break apart n a few minutes which is bad.

TURRETf course a base needs defenses so put some sentries in there and some ammo!
:Maybe the ammo works like the turret will auto load the ammo if it finds one on the ground under it or near it afterall it is harder if the player individually checks the ammo in the turret inventory, or is harder better?

AIR PURIFIER: you know the model i have in mind for this is a ward type terran bunker that is resized to a marine foot. and of course its an item that wards off infections in an area, and if i say ward of, it means the virus is still there but the effect is nullified so the player will need to keep it on, please put at least a very transparent but "somewhat" visible cloud to see how far its effect are. note that this gadget does not last forever but lasts a long time, and that the Spider thing with the infectious aura will still have its effect even with this thing turned on.

Speaking of turned "on" maybe you could make mana the timer and if the item is turned "on" it will have its effect and lose mana per second but when turned of, it will lose the effect but will not lose mana per second

ZOMBIE PURIFIER: when in range, Make the zombies lose 1 hp per second if standing and if lying on the ground, make them lose half of their normal regeneration so it will take twice as long for them to come back to life. Note that the mana timer and on/off feature i suggested is also implemented here

Ok about the tent buttons...As i said earlier you could make a button that would lead to another set of buttons but it would be better to organize the buttons, for example the first set will be where you order stuff having the hotkeys Q, W, E, R and A, S, D, F.
And the next set of buttons having the order of locating the stuff with the same hotkeys. So if Medicine have the W hotkey on the first set of buttons, in the next set of buttons the locate hotkey would still be W referring to finding the medicine in the map. get my drift?

ZZZ no more ideas, last words "categories original (primary supplies, medicine, material, weapons) categories suggested (vehicle parts, gadget parts)"

QUESTIONS:
More players will have more enemies?
are you able to work on your maps often?
The tent will have an unpack feature soon?

THE END

 

@CoCoY4 : Wow, you made an account just for my map I'm honored. It's always a pleasure to read comments on my map. It doesn't matter how long it is .

Yea, i know how you feel. They also sometimes hide the items you're looking for and you're just like : WTF? It pinged here and I can't see anything! Houses are part of the terrain and I really can't remove them. I tried to make them impossible to select, but they also became non-obstacle Oo. For the moment you have to use DELETE and INSERT for camera rotating. When you're used to it, everything becomes easier^^. I'll try to find a way to fix it though.

I disagree. The soldier is indeed the best for beginners, because it's mission is simple : KILL! Even the noob player will succeed in using weapons and abilities in zombies. But adding a Jump ability, ok that will help noobs to survive, but that class will also get another mission : fetch items! The soldier is NOT agile. It's just a war machine. The agile class is the Ranger and it has a jump ability (RAID). It is the master of deployment. The soldier and the ranger have only 3 abilities, because they also rely on their normal attack damage. Engineer and medic rely on their energy, that means their abilities. Maybe I will find a 4th ability for soldier and ranger but definitely NOT a jump

In fact, I think the problem is that spikes can only attack one unit at time. That means if 3 zombies pass through spikes, only 1 of them will be slowed. I tried to use that multi-target normal attack, but I still don't get it. It doesn't work. At least, the slow effect doesn't work on each multi-attack. I will try harder. And maybe you're right, the range is a little too short.

I do^^. I like the idea of getting one little item. I will work on it.

Yea, friendly fire, I hesitated a long time. I think an accident happens so easily and its consequences could be serious. Plus, if it damages barricades as well, you'd better not use any explosive thing, but order additional barricades instead. There's already a kind of friendly fire : stun effects work on your team mates. I really don't know for the moment.

I really want to keep that board as small as possible, because it really hinders the vision of the gamer. Zombies killed are displayed through the score (hunters count as 3 and tanks count as 10). And I think displaying the number of visible zombies won't help anyone^^.

Hmm, quite a good idea, but blight is randomly placed and I don't know if it will be possible to shape your base in order to make zombies weaker. I have in mind that will just be something you can't exploit, but I'll try anyway and I'll see if it can work.

I had in mind of making a suicidal zombie you have to kill far from your team and your barricades, because it explodes and releases high infection (like the Boomer in Left4dead). Maybe a spider will do the job, good idea.

VEHICLE : As I said before, I want to make an armored vehicle which can transport 6 items (that will make 12 items with your marine). You will have to reload it with battery cells (yeah! this is an electric tank, any problem?). I don't want to make a puzzle for building one (this is no LEGO tank ), but just a huge amount of credits to get it.

Not so useless. As you get too much credits in end game, I found a way of using them differently than ordering items you can't fetch anyway ^^ : airstrike!

CAMERA : I think torches will do the job for now. They are already less useful than other material items. I don't want to add some^^

TURRET : In fact, there is already a turret in the game, but there's no way of getting it. This is a cannon tower lowered down. It's not in the game for the moment, because I still don't know if it will make the game better or worse. You will have to reload them with battery cells and not ammo.

AIR PURIFIER & ZOMBIE PURIFIER : It's a bit too complicated for the moment, I think. I have other things to do. There is already too much "material" items.

As for the tent buttons, no problem, if I have to add other item classes, I'll find a way^^. For the moment, it is so, because everything can be displayed on 12 buttons.

Yes. It's proportional.

Until September, I have a lot of time .

In fact, you just have to destroy it. But if there's a free button slot, I'll add it .

Well, I think I made something really long as well. Thank you very much for commenting and playing my map!

 

ok this will be shorter than the other comment,

soldier class is pretty imba.

i say battery skill is recommended

he could kill 20 zombies with 100 mana and 20 shots in 7-10 secs

he could kill a tank zombie with 50 mana and 8-10 shots in 6-7 secs

he could kill a hunter with 2-3 shots and 5 mana in 1 sec

if i could show the replay of my game id show you that the battery skill is BETTER for the soldier. The reason is because of his most efficient killing weapon, HIS FISTS. with that ever so short casting time and super damage accompanied with a 0.5 to 1 sec stun which only cost 5 mana per punch is quite imba. killing 1 zombie by just pinching it and immediately executing it only takes .4 secs and by the time you punched another zombie, the attack cd has already cooled down so you could repeat it and kill 2-3 zombies per second i was like "wtf" when i finished wave 1 alone with 73-80 secs to spare heheh... but i did not last long because of starvation even if that soldier is like a monster killer. that tactic i said will only work if you do the hexagon patterned barricades so that you could freely move around and punch zombies. anyway 2/3 zombies prioritize barricades so its ok for me to leave every barricade an opening on all 8 sides. if a hunter does come just shoot it once then punch it then shoot it again, sometimes it needs 3 shots.

barricade pattern: pleas note that all barricades have spaces all around it so the soldier could freely move.

As i said it is shaped like a hexagon

get the picture?

ok here uhh...imma kinda wondering why my marine is losing HP with 0.100 infection and 8-10/10 food?

one of the things that showed up in my mind is at the start of the game it shows your marine is "full" if it lowers to 2-5 it doesnt say he's hungry, when it drops to 1 becomes "starving" but when you eat and get it back up to 10/10 it says he's hungry and not full, so is it because of the words that you lose hp and not the amount of food? because once your food drops to 1, he will never say he's full even if he's at 10/10, only hungry
actually hunger is the real reason why i die most of my games cuz no food T_T but at least i lasted 18 waves with my engineer, too bad for soldier tho cuz he only got to wave 5 in my game, even if the soldier does kill every zombie, he will still be left badly hurt, but when i was engineer the game lagged really hard because i was not able to kill alot. XD ok thats all, Bye

Well, i know that a battery-based soldier is kinda good. If you have enough weapons to be used, it's a real pleasure and spamming grenade launcher works good. But remember that the passive splash damage and the grenade launcher depend on your normal damage, that means weaponry and you won't always have weapons, so you will probably have to much energy. Battery-based soldier is possible, but it's not the most common way of using him. I put weaponry as recommanded stat, because it's the easier way of playing him, but there are a lot a strategies you can use. It's up to you to use them if you know the game well.

I know as well that you could kill a tank quite easy if you spam the punch (people don't realize that they can abuse it), but I think using punch as base weapon is not so powerful. In fact, you take too much risk to go to close combat against zombies. You'll get infected too easily. And as you said, your base has to be open, that means hunters will attack you and your team mates (you won't always be able to protect them). You can kill hunters easily sometimes, but even if you get hit once every 3 hunters, that will be hard to survive. I agree that punching can be op, but this is not a reason to get mass battery to kill your waves with it.

The punch should be kept for zombies intrusion in the base. If a good soldier keeps his energy (like having always at least 50 energy), he can kill almost everything which comes into the base (even a tank). I think that massive energy use can be really powerful for a soldier, but the soldier has such a good and constant damage using weaponry (no need of energy or weapons), that you really need to exploit it and keep energy use as occasional.

That's strange. The infection ratio is the damage you take every second (that means with 0.100, you'll lose 1hp every 10 seconds) and you start losing hp because of starving from 1/10 (1/10 -> 1hp/s and 0/10 -> 2hp/s). But normally each constitution point gives you a regen of 0.150 hp/s, so you shouldn't lose hp Oo.

That bug appeared with version 1.1. It will be corrected for the new version. It doesn't change anything about the damage you take from starving though.

And congratulations by the way for lasting 18 waves . If you're playing alone, I think ranger is the best class. And if you're playing with a mate or more, I think one of you should be a medic (having a medic is really needed)

 

We got 2635 score at 2 player yeah! wave 19 only

 

Well played! A friend of mine lasted 21 waves alone

 

this is a good map its too hard but fun! im just new here i cant rate it maybe can you add some pyro for class..
