Gods of War V2.3 (FMR EDIT)

Where does it say it's open source though?
Also, add the original author in the authors tab.

 

[FeelMyRash]

It doesn't explicitly say it, but the map isn't locked and can be freely edited.

That doesn't equal open source in that one is allowed to edit and upload somewhere but usually means one can check how it was made/lean from it.

Huh, I guess I should've realized that...

I'll take the map down if it's not allowed, but I hope that it's still fine.

I'll check them both when I get some time to see if changes are meaningful improvements.

Thank you for informing me of this.

The issue should be fixed now.

Really interesting map concept, but I find it quite difficult to get into. Is there any tutorial or beginner guide available? I had to translate a lot of the English text, so I probably missed some key mechanics. Still, I like the idea a lot. Any tips for a new player like me?

Honestly, I only ever played this game on multi-player once with my brother very long ago, so strategy isn't my strong suit. Sorry...

I think the best thing you can do is focus on the Town Center closest to your Temple.

Make two or three Houses, micromanage your Believers by using the "Sacrifice" ability in your Temple to get rid of the heretics so you don't periodically lose Credence. Get an Inquisition as soon as possible and maybe a Shard for defense.

This map is very micro-intensive. Keeping your units alive is important, especially the ones you start with.

I will work on making a better explanation on mechanics in-game.

Thank you so much for the honest and helpful reply! Don't worry about not being a strategy expert — the fact that you took the time to explain is already more than I expected. I'll try focusing on the closest Town Center and use the Sacrifice ability more carefully. I think the map concept is really great, and I'm looking forward to any future updates you make. Thanks again!

The Eye of God can't build anything. Also Build and Blink have the same hotkey. Renew/Repair has R not E as it says.

The Eye of God not being able to build anything seems to be a recurring issue (I've been PM'd by someone having the same problem in multiplayer) and I'm not sure what the problem is. I've never encountered this issue when I test the map...

I'll fix the other problems.

Tried on 1.30.4 and the latest patch, multiple times and nothing.
This issue makes the map essentially unplayable.

Is it still not working after the update?...

If so, I can only imagine it is an issue with the later versions or an issue with multiplayer, in which case you are correct...

Well, if it isn't working, I can't approve it, not even test it. So please find a way to make it work. I can't install all game versions and we don't favour version specific maps.

The problem is that I haven't encountered this problem once, and I've tested it quite a few times...

I will try to find the solution, but I'm genuinely running a blank on what could be causing this.

Obviously I understand that it won't be approved of it doesn't work properly. I will try to find the issue.

Perhaps, you'd need to recreate the way the building works or something. I'll give it a try myself when I get some time, like recreating the builder unit in the unit editor.

I may have found the problem.

There was a trigger that set the availability of buildings to 0 in the beginning of the game.

Hopefully this solves it and doesn't cause other issues...

If nothing else, Approved for being a working version.
However, there is at least one annoying issue: when I built more than 5 cottages, instead of getting a message that I reached my limit, I got 3 cottages explode instead. You could solve this with a dynamic variable that acts as the limit player to build/train certain unit/building. Or if needs to be zone specific, let the main building/town build on some sort of blight or have a limited building range (since it's a building and can't move). Another way you could do it is limit buildings to specific zones/dummy buildings that turn into those specific ones. Best option is to properly trigger it with a stop/cancel order and error/limit message.
Not sure about the unit balance.

ADDITIONAL NECESSARY INFORMATION

• A credits list in the map thread description is required where the names of the resource (models, skins, icons, spells, sound etc.) authors are mentioned along with the specific resource. It would be a luxury to have links leading to the used resources. Credits in the Quest Log would be appreciated too.
• A detailed changelog in the first post would be helpful to reviewers and notify fans about the newest implementations to your map.
• Map thread tags are important. Please use those that fit and not more or none.
