[Campaign] Feedback about MegaCraft 1

MegaCraft 1

Okay. I need some feedback about my crossover campaign -- MegaCraft 1. Detailed description is linked above.

In short, it's a mix of Red Alert 2, Yuri's Revenge, Tiberian Sun, Firestorm, a bit of WoW, Warcraft 3, Mental Omega 2.0, etc.

What do you think about this project?

Work on it more before starting hype threads.

well, i'm working on it (mainly the demo map and the object data)
anyway, what do you think?

 

[LordDz]

Unit descriptions are good, can be quite neat to have Warcraft 3 + modern units around. Needs some balancing however, like why should I ever build knights if the marines are better overall for the same cost? And the siege engine deals 500 damage, to all units in a huge aoe, just drop 1 into an enemy base and you've won.

look at my votes... that's what i want to say...

errr......knights are cheaper and faster than marines......anyway i m either going to make marine more expensive, or raise food cost, or both.

what? 500 damage in a huge aoe? i remember its around 300 aoe......

 

[LordDz]

Knights cost 256 gold, marines cost 260 gold. Some lumber but that's about it.
Marines deal chaos damage, knights doesn't. Knights are faster yes but marines can shoot. Marines are better overall.

Boom Boom! deals 500 damage in a 400 radius and 250 damage in a 750 radius.
Oh and buildings take x6 damage? So around 1500-3000 damage against buildings?

 

[Cherrymage]

oh i'll rebalance it....thanks for reminding me.

Update: Epsilon Demo Available

Well, a question:

Should MegaCraft 1 be a campaign or an entire mod?

 

[Mechanical Man]

Considering that everything is still 0%, I have a bad feeling about this. Making one big risk like multiplayer RACC Megacraft map would be much faster if you have hard time progressing.

 

[Cherrymage]

Well, I'm waiting for Sylvie's Stormwind template for the first map, and most of the resources needed are not available, and a lot of things are required in Megacraft maps, it will already have passed the dumb 8MB limit if I make it a big risk map...

 

[Mechanical Man]

I don't know how is Sylvie doing, but I'm sure you could cut imports to be below 8mb, after all you still use many wc3 races, if not, cut down the factions. About resources, I'm sure you can still find many fitting ones around.
