Finally looking good terrain (Because is night I can't tell if you use fog )
But you can add more doodads, and increase trees size from 1.00/1.00 to 1.25/1.00 it will looks more cool, also use rise and lower tool!

I will test this and add comment!

The screenshots I put up are lower quality, so many of the grass doodads, fog effects, etc. can't be seen. Also, to give the terrain a dark effect, I used fog that starts at 0 and ends at 3,000. It's hard to tell, but it give the whole screen a darker effect.

Oooo I will try this as soon as possible!

The trees have already been up-scaled to 1.30.

Yea but my point was to make it different scale -> Small, normal and large trees

Finally u hosted this. Its funny looking back at how much it changed

 

[crappypappy]

[MirageLight]

Dude just change map name (wc3 can't see map) delete that protected and map version from name!

Btw map is awesome, custom icons, models everything, terrain is beautiful BUT:

Very hard to play alone!
Terrain is simple, add river, mountain something like cave to hide, some destroyed facility to hide also, you know what i try to tell you! just forest is boring!

Honestly, I will give you 4/5 for now! my opinion is that map can be better so dude give to as more!

I think I know what the problem is. I'll look into fixing it.
Oh, and I highly recommend playing this with two or more players. I'll adjust single player so it's easier to play, but then again, this is a teamwork oriented game. Thanks for the feedback though.

Update: I changed quite a few things, added a few new upgrades, and I believe I fixed the hosting problem.

It's kinda' hard... I can't find a good spot to build a base. Also, in my opinion, the time before the next type of creatures appear is too short. Maybe you could extend it? Oh, and the trees block my view so I can't tell if there's a gap in the wall.

The map has been updated, again. I've been listening to what you all have been saying, and I believe that through your criticism, we're making a better game. However, I never designed this game to be a simple, stride in the park. Let alone that, it was never meant for Single Player.

When I first created this map, I play-tested it with two players every time I updated it and added one mere thing. That is why this is a team-work oriented game. Hopefully, if you guys are willing to test this, you'll be testing it with a friend.

Anyhow, in this new map update, I implemented a Transparent Tree System that makes Canopy Trees see-through when you go near them. You guys shouldn't have nearly as much trouble 'sight-seeing' when you play the game. I also updated the UI, to give it that "futuristic, high-tech Marine" feel. Onward, the 'demons' will spawn at a slower rate.

That's about it, other than a few cost changes.
As I said before, constructive criticism is always welcome!

This game is bugged... After then entire team dies the timer continues to count down to 0. After that the timer for helicopters counts down and when the helicopter left it says that one of us didn't make it even though we all were dead. Then at the end when game finishes we all were victorious except the person that was said to not make it to the helicopter in time....

Oh, oops. I had a faulty condition that, sort of, messed up all of the other victory conditions. No problem now, though, I fixed it. I'll upload the new map when I feel it's appropriate. In the mean time, I'll welcome all of your guys' ideas; it helps a lot.

If possible add difficulty settings.. that can modify hp,damage,speed,etc.

the trees are blocking some of the views and its pretty irritating.
more mobs could also be placed in as there seems to be <ten types of mobs in the game and its kinda boring when you reach the later part of the game. bosses at intervals could also be placed. towers...etc should have more variety of types too.

well overall i kinda enjoyed playing this game. kudos and good luck with it

I tried fixing that problem, but sometimes it's best if you just turn the camera.

Well, so far, there are 18 different units that appear and disappear as you play throughout the game. The boss idea sounds good, and I'll decide if it's worth working on this map anymore later.

kudos and good luck with it

This map died pretty quickly. I think I'm going to stop doing updates because a lot of people don't understand the concept and just aren't playing it. Thanks for the criticism though.

chances are its dieing because it isnt the first map of this kind. look for a map called Fortress Survival, it's been around a lot longer than this one and it pretty much died too, i could be wrong because im only looking in USeast.

Reject.

Reject.

Terrain and Balancing.

You know, I come back a few months after forgetting about this map, only to find my map was rejected for two reasons.

Terrain: Okay, what's wrong with it? Does it feel too cluttered, or what? Is it just ugly?

Balancing: I'm just going to assume you opened the map, played it, and died. That's nice. To let you know, if you ever read this, I implemented the difficulty system to actually make the map easier for testing, but that obviously wasn't good enough.

I'll agree, this map is ridiculously hard, but it's not impossible.

seams like you define a "beginner" as someone who has played the map about 20+ times (assuming the difficulty system was ment for you to win the game)

This game was built on a foundation of teamwork, requiring at the least, two players. I would edit this map if I could, but sadly my computer crashed and I lost all of my map files a few months ago.

I think it's safe to say this map is dead. I used to play this game all of the time with my friends, and they enjoyed the hell out of it.

 

[crawlers]

seams that cweener wont be cooperating to help unprotect it, so i suggest you look for other places to unprot it like wc3edit, assuming u cant get someone to do it here (which seams somewhat unlikely)
