Domination

[Ivanneth]

Domination: Still in BETA.
By Ivanneth [Jack-Shepherd@USWEST]

Domination is an altered melee styled map.
It has a completely customized combat system, a new resource gaining 'style', and a capturing system, where no player has to loose.
The point in it is simple; Domination.

Progress:
[I - 10% done; I - 10% not done]
Terrain: IIIIIIIIII
Triggers: IIIIIIIIII
Objects: IIIIIIIIII

The Point of the Game ...

... is to capture all others, so that your kingdom "owns them all".
A player is captured by having his capital going under 25% health.
After being captured, the player's color is changed, but he still controls his own units, in his new kingdom.
I find that this is really simple.

Features

• A totally new combat system. Each unit has a different percent chance to hit, so luck is a big element in combat.
• Newly named armor, and damage types. Nearly all have a different icon, and all have a different name and description.
• 20 levels of upgrades. Upgrades will determine the battle greatly.
• 3 tiers of 6 units - and 2 of one. Each tier is upgraded, but obviously costs more.
• A totally new system with buildings. You get one of each type, and can replace them at any time - except for the Capital. Most of them are invulnerable.
• A very simple system - this includes the combat system, resource system and buildings system. What's good about that? You don't have to have a huge brain to understand!

Miscellaneous Info
The terrain of this map was made by me, there's a few screen shots below, or by pressing here. I learned how to terrain by myself, and a few tutorials, but rather by myself. The inspiration for this map came from just about nowhere, and a spark from the game Empire.
I will be uploading the BETA version of this map soon.

Note for the link:
The only valid screenshots are the ones which use the same trees as in the screenshots below. The other trees aren't there anymore.

Care to extrapolate on the combat system?

Bah, the only problem with this is if people spam the stop button so the unit can't attack, it will mass attacks.
One option would be to order the unit to cast an ability when attacking, with x cooldown, x being your attack cooldown.
Then, do when unit casts ability, then run the trigger that you have. That's one way to fix that, although I've never tested it.

[Ivanneth]

Yeah, but I don't think people would know that, and also probably wouldn't be that desperate.

 

[squadexodus]

Might as well fix it, or im gonna use it in the beta

 

[Ivanneth]

Hmm ... if people have massive armies, they're not gonna be able to do it anyway. OK, I think it's safer to do it as a spell.

 

[squadexodus]

Well, if you watch any warcraft Observer games, it proves a army of 5-6 can destroy a base if well managed.
