Yes... Its me again, I've been working on a map with a friend of mine(I been doing most of the work hes doing ideas =D) The map is based off of footman frenzy, the only thing I'm using from the frenzy maps is the spawning triggers(There so long and confusing like hell) and I just deeply edit them to fit the map theme.

Its petty much like your footies map, only with a selectable race in the beggining, with 3-4 new races, here they are

Orcish Horde(All Orcs)
Ice Trolls(Maybe, we got models)
Humans(All humans)
Night Elves
Chaos Orcs
Blood Elves
Undead
Naga
So far its doing very well, there will be many new heroes and items you haven't seen in a footies map, new awesome spells, etc.
So far I have the terrain pretty much done, and Chaos, and Naga tiers finished, they just need balancing. Later on I'll post some screenies on my progress.

The different playing concept will be almost the same, you buy your hero in the beggining, you choose a tier and you play. Also to make things more creative I've put in a LOT of new models, including the footman model I'm using in Warcraft: Global Conquest.

There will be 5-6 Tiers, the price starts at 1050 and keeps going up by 500 gold. There will be so many new things in this. that it will make this map more creative then most footies, but not necessarily better sense everyone has different taste. A fully compatible working good AI is expected later on, and a massing system it will take maybe 2 months to fully complete the map and be balanced, maybe less. I'll post more information later on.

Ideas for anything is greatly appreciated, we want to keep the footies theme, but make it more original, and satisfy footies fans.
I've started a project like this before, but I stopped it do to triggering problems and some other things, but now its back in progress and its going Very well.

I will credit the Footman Frenzy creator, sense the triggers came from one of his old maps(it wasn't protected so i didnt hack into it) I really just used it mainly for the spawning triggers, because I didn't know how all that worked, after that I heavily modified them, to fit my own needs and ideas.

I copied and pasted this off of another site i posted this on but heres more info

I have gotten a LOT done, I have finished the basic terrain of it, i got 2 new races pretty much done, naga and chaos, I'm working on blood elves, theres also a new system, in the beggining you choose your hero, and you also pick which race to start out as, all have there goods and bads, a example is, Chaos orcs are VERY powerful, only there tiers cost a lot more, higher bounties, and have a slight lower spawn rate. The naga spawn 2 units at a time, but there units are weaker and have a slight higher bounty.
the creators of this map goes to PunWisp and Asmixus.

Ok if you are going to make the title come true: Keep the food limit under 200/300 or face overmassing*.


*Overmassing is too much units of your own being massed on one single map. The computer can't handle all the units so they must all go Stop-Move-Stop-Move... the believed overmass minimum lies around 200 or 300 units. This problem is very annoying in certain maps.
