Moderator: StoPCampinGn00b version 1.7 Kodo Tag Castle by Garylau RATINGS [COLOR=white [COLOR=white Scores[/COLOR]] Gameplay: 22/30 Terrain & Scenery: 15/20 Total Score: 37/50 Explanation[/COLOR]]5 Stars: 47+ 4 Stars: 40-47 3 Stars: 25-39 2 Stars: 10-24 1 Stars: 1-9 CRITIQUE Gameplay: The game plays out like maps such as fortress survival as it's a team vs waves of AI creeps going after you. it is playable in single player, but it was a little overwhelming and I've switched to play LAN. The goal is to fortify your base using methods such as building walls, towers, creating units, and gathering resources. The techtree for building works out fine, so do the towers and the walls. There really isn't anything creative and special but the map is consistent. The bases are varied in shapes and sizes, that's mostly a better idea even though some bases have more advantages because it adds to the design and competitiveness on who can survive on their own. Smart move in creating the roads to avoid abusing the map, but there is one thing players can abuse. The biggest problem I have is that kodos will frequently not go towards the entrance of bases but instead try to attack buildings on cliffs, but won't get them unless they have that ability to do so. I can build towers not at the edge but at cliffs and I will get endless feed! Players will abuse this and easily find it out. What I suggest is that you make kodos attack higher level walls as their priority. The other way is to simply edit the terrain. One other minor problem is that only the main hero has blink, other units should have it as it's extremely annoying when a soldier is stuck inside the base. Expect less than an hour of slow-medium paced game time, relax until your in trouble with the kodos chasing you. Last thing, why does the marine have a clone trooper icon? 22/30 ​ Terrain & Aesthetics: Well above average terrain with that cartoony look using the custom tiles and cliffs. It looks very smooth and fresh to see. No height leveling is necessary for this type of map, I would prefer you not add it if your were considering. You can definitely use more matching doodads to decorate the map. Not necessarily in the lanes, but near the edges of the map like you did with the buildings. My personal taste, but the buildings are faced awkwardly. This sounds a little spoiled, but a custom interface would go perfectly with this map ;D 15/20 ​ VERDICT The only way a map can be approved is if it follows the map submission rules that apply to the map type. - All rules followed, map approved! ​ NOTES Overall I feel this deserves a high 3 rating, but not a 4 because of the problem I've listed in the gameplay section of the critique area of my review.

Edit: Wow, the thread looks better now. But no screenshot?

It's much better if it is attached to the screenshot section, anyways it looks nice.

Now the screenshot display (terrain screenshot and gameplay screenshot)?

 

[Rufus]

Well, this is a great map! A lot of fun to play and a cool cartoony terrain. What I would like to see in the updates is a new loading screen and also, you could add a higher diffuculty though. Perhaps this is much better multplayer too, but I couldn't try it with anyone. Overall: Really nice map.

Thanks for the nice review .I will add some difficult in the next version and also will try to change the loading screen .

 

[Garylau]

Maybe I will stop upgrade this map. My computer is broken need to bought new one . The maps is inside my broken computer .

Thanks for the great review and thx for approve my map .

Decorate with doodad / Change interface /Last thing, why does the marine have a clone trooper icon?

I will fix in the next ver.I think i will not change the interface of the mapp because that will make the game a bit lag .Like the winter edition , there has too many complaint to me .I try to decrease the map size as more as posible.

 

[StoPCampinGn00b]

I would prefer you fix the AI rather than the aesthetics of the map. Nevertheless, you're welcome


EDIT: One more thing, DO NOT CHANGE THE MUSIC! It's fun to listen too.

[StoPCampinGn00b]

Yes you're allowed to update. You will notice by looking at the last updated time stamp

 

[Yrk]

Gonna check this out

This is a good map with the only major gripe being the baby-puke green terrain.

I'd like to say it's an edit of an edit of an edit. I created this edit:

First , I do not understand what you're saying (note: I am talking about your words),it's look as you are scolded me .Solemnly explain ,I've say that I'm just a editor.When I started to edit your map , the reason to make me edit your map because yours map is different with other kodo tag and interest.I did not give you credit because last time I don know what is credit .While I'm know the meaning , I already forget your name . (BTW , It took me some time to figure out your name ,but I still cannot find.)Now, you are showing me yours map and calling me for the credit .I'm apologize , I did not give you credit on .I will add your name to the credit in the next version . If still make you unhappy , you can report this map and say I'm stole your map. Thanks for your remind , I'm sure add your name , Megamax .Thank you for the Map, but please be careful of your words, even if you just how angry.(I'm not going to scold you , because i was wrong earlier.)

I guess I'd just like some credit as a lot of the base concepts I came up with.

I'm not just going to upload your map with added some base after download.Sir , I have add more thing into your game .In other word , you cannot say I'm stold your map.Major baby-puke green terrain ?What wrong is that ?Can I say your map is just humble terrain ?First , some of the terrain is making by you . You scold my terrain equal to scolding your project.Not only added building , I respelling some wrong word.(Note : Do not using shit unreasonable reason to talk to me , this is I answer you with your attitude. )

 

[StoPCampinGn00b]

I will add your name to the credit in the next version

I've already done it :S

Edited: I've fix the bug and updated the new version tommorow . Thanks for your feedback .This updated have surprise .

 

[bogidr]

Good job bro keep up the good work.

 

[GONZALORD]

map feels bland.

All Kodos get stuck at your base entrance, and you just spam turrets till they die (since kodos are just standing still in front of the entrance) hosted with 7 players, literally everybody got bored cause theres no "run" factor (wich all kodo tags have and need).

it's a really simple base defence map (v1.9 review)

For now it's a 1/5 as it's not a kodo tag, but more like a really basic base defence with almost no enemy variation nor strategic play

I recommend, you fix the kodo's triggers you use for path finding, look for other kodo tag maps that have worked this issue around, and try to implement it on your map, cause it's not really enjoyable on it's current version.

hope you can work it out!
