132929-albums601-picture4405.jpg

Short Description:
This is a missile war between 2 ships. (bottom and top area are the ships)
The goal is simple. Build harvesters to harvest energy from energy generators. Build missile launchers to nuke the other ship and destroy the ships energy generators. Build shield booster to increase ships shield power. First one to finish off enemy ships energy generators wins.

This is a classic popular map which is still working with current wc3 version

It appears someone beat me to it... I am yet to play it so I will see if it is any good.

EDIT: That one is incomplete (testing stage) and doesn't seem to work.

If this map has severe bugs its the only exception I make to update this.

I forgot the homing anti missiles but this will be once of a time update exception since I'm not working on this map and spent hours just break trough the "open map" (I forgot how I did it, using ancient WEU version which don't exist today).
In this this map you can at some times send 100+ projectiles, I figured its worth just swapping out the movement system will help a lot. I won't bother removing the adv triggers, I'm not wasting my time optimizing this map further.

Also removed slow mode because it was due to the old movement engine which had hard time moving many projectiles. Its no longer necessary

Workers can no longer attack gold wards (team kill bug)
Fixed a bug with Jamming System (New Projectile system)
Fixed a bug with laser damaging other ship before it hit inner
Removed Ultra defense bunker upgrade
Upgrade shield booster available before min 5 (To prevent unfair rush)

Also, you cannot kill your teammates normal worker at start, it will recreate the worker. This is to prevent abusive team sabotage which is quite annoying when players want less players on their team to gain more gold income.

You need less energy managers now, this should solve the space problem if there is many players on 1 team.

Ahh, yess thank you TKF very much. Love this map, and yes space management is much better. Also so happy you fixed the whole "killing your worker for the better one". lol Nice update, great optimizations. Glad you fixed this map up a bit. Thanks.

Will you be doing any further optimizations for a little while or are you basically done? Would just like to know, that way I can test out these versions for any last bugs or balances.

No, I simply do not have time to remove the old WEU advanced triggers, which cause the other lagg. Reworking and removing all the WEU takes very long time since 30-40% of triggers actually uses WEU triggers. Extremely inefficient, but its not used in any frequent loops and occurs on shield changes etc...

I might release a bugfix version if you find any bugs. I miscalcuated some changes. For example jammer not working as intended (missiles dead stop) and energy ripper unable to damage shield gens properly. But prolly 0.64 would be last maybe. Maybe final for now.

Forgot to add to changelog that cruiser missiles don't blow up each other, but cost more as result of not damage each other. Version uploaded on mmh.


0.64
Reduced cost of Energy Recycler from 1250 to 1000
Fixed a bug with the jamming system, it will now jam properly
Fixed a teamkill punishment bug which caused a team to lose
Energy spike does now 7000 max damage
You will need 2 energy spike shots against a huge shield gen

Ok fixed the bugs I knew about. Feel free to review it.

I don't know if any of you ever noticed, but the bottom ship is bigger, this is on the latest version.


Top Ship
127789900-3.jpg



Bottom ship
127789898-3.jpg


Also Ultra Jammer needs nerfing, it's really strong, capable of jamming novalith torpedoes.


EDIT - 2

How does the Command Centers even work ? I mean, sometimes I randomly lose mana, and when I drain energy from enemy ship, from 0 mana I get instantly max, same thing happened with spending gold on mana, I got random ammounts, sometimes from 0 to max or 6k mana.

Also Command Centers should have 8,5k hp to survive energy spikes, I mean, the ship who manages to rush them and spam them, can make the enemy team absolutely banned from Command centers.

I have the replay if you want to check it out.

I will look on it when I got time.

Edit_


I don't now how I could have missed that, but now terrain should be fair for both teams and bottom team will no longer gain the advantage.

Missile War 0.65
Added Shield Inner/Outer Regenerator - alternative shield upgrade
Shield Inner Maxer does add 200% more shield hp, but cost more
Shield Outer Maxer do add 100% more shield hp
Shield Inner Regenerator do add 100% more regen bonus
Shield Outer Regenerator do add 200% more regen bonus, but cost more
Added new mode: -quicktech, halves the delay of time restrictions
Novaliths are now more resistant to jamming
Extended top area at top ship to match bottom ship
25% faster default gold income at normal mode
Recharge outer is now available after only 5 mins

Shield Inner Maxer upgrade is expensive, but add more shield strength bonus to counter inner shields low strength

Shield Outher Regenerator upgrade is expensive, but add more shield regeneration bonus to counter the outer shields low regen


Also -qt mode halves the games tech time restrictions so its a rush mode 50%. -qt mode might fit unpatient players as it also set the sudden death mode to only 25 mins instead of standard 50 mins, so you never get a longer game than half hour at tops in -qt mode. Because a balanced missile war game consumes almost an hour, so I figured out this would be a handy option.

Command Centers seem quite bugged atm

Highly recommend a mode that disables them

Also figure out why it is that they seem to sometimes get perpetual energy

I think the cause is background energy going above 8k, by, like, a ton, and giving essentially infinite energy.

Kinda game dominating.

Oh, and possibly be able to ban Plasma turrets.
edit:
Launches in the back of the ship explode instead of firing. They don't target correctly

Would it be possible to add a fog of war command? Prevents the opponents from seeing if your playing aggressively, income based or early tech etc..

After 3 years of nothing, I decided to implement an update based on very old feedback from the last posts here. Unfortunately I haven't found source of the fatal error.

So this is small a update and also revamped the info at first page including a youtube video.

0.66
Added -fog mode: Fog of War enabled
Added -npt mode: Disables Plasma Defense Tower
Added -ncc mode: Disables Control Center building
Added build effect on rocket launchers now
Increased energy storage by 50%
Space vessels slightly cheaper
Anti Missiles is now ineffecive against vessels and vortex
Some ship control functions is available earlier now
Extended multiboard to show number of enemy missiles
Radar Scan replaces EM Slow field for control center
You can no longer use gravity vortex inside your own ship
Fixed a bug with quick tech mode not working
Fixed a bug that could disable mode commands for host

With this version you can see when the enemy is building missiles with their rocket silos.

Hey TKF, been a while.

Glad you added the fog command, that alone is going to really change the pacing and strats of the game. As for the other updates, they look great! Going to test it out this week.

I am amazed this map still gets updates since how old it is. Well done since fog can really hurt the emeny players whether it is a early game rush or teching for strong technology fast. I found really upsetting the enemy could see all my actions and almost future plans. A war vs an enemy you can't rewards good plays as well as good micro to keep your shield alive from an "invisible" horde of missiles.

After I found the source of fatal error, I couldn't resist to do another update.

So I also implemented an easy way for the Player 2 (Blue player) to pick modes from a custom dialog, making it easy to pick out modes. If you forgot some modes you can still use mode commands after closing mode dialog. That player might get preoccupied with picking modes, so his worker will automatically build the unit producer below ship controls and harvester automatically go harvest as a small help. I'm not sure its cheatful help though, but in this game getting started building as fast as possible is essential for the gameplay.

0.67
Added mode dialog selection for blue player
Strong starting shields is now default
Energy spike do now cost 3000 energy to use
Increased cost of control center to 3000
Radar scan will drain 200 energy in fog mode
Nerfed Control centers energy drain ability
Fixed leak entry waits to same for both teams
Fixed a missile bug with vessels taking to much damage
Fixed a bug with gravity vortex kicking out players
Fixed a fatal error bug with bunkers
Fixed small multiboard bug

The source of a fatal error was caused when someone ordered units hiding inside a bunker out. It seemed that using Unload ability only meant for zeppelins caused the error.

I nerfed control center a bit.

Also properly fixed a damage bug with the vessels and gravity vortex taking to much damage from projectiles, especially anti missiles which did 500 damage instead of 50 to ships (mistypo). I don't know if the frigates and motherships are to strong now with this fix, so I lowered their default armor to 0. Lasers should be more important against ships.

Is there ai for this map?
No

There isn't any AI. I won't bother making any because its really hard to make a system where AI build structures properly in formation due to limited space for both teams. That would probably require region placement at egdes at least and from that tons of work.... I'm not motivated to do so. Also im very fed up with AI design when I just finished one for Naval Battle map. It was way harder than I imagined.

Missile War map however fills up at a fast rate online when you host because its a classic map, appealing map and simple to play in general. Aalthough it feels kinda nostalgic, especially with "good old days shitty map design" feel.

Holy crap you updated it.

Thanks for using my video on the front, I just wanted to let you know after a LOT of play-testing on the previous versions it came down to game of rock paper scissors.

Early Rush > Mid Rush > All Shields

Not sure if this will remain true in the newest version, but the meta was pretty much this after doing about 15-20 games of play-testing with another player. There's no benefit to having players "mix strategies", the most effective way to play is to go all in on one of the above. (Usually early rush or all shields, since mid rush is a bit trickier to execute to counter shields)

There was also no benefit to teching, as it took too long to do before a rush would hit you. (The money teching costs removes from shields needed to defend against rush)

We haven't played it all in recent times because its on our list of "solved" games, but seeing a new version is really exciting as Missile Wars is a CLASSIC map. We'll definitely give it a shot.

UPDATE: We played it a few times, old meta is definitely dead. Games last a good period of time and are fairly enjoyable.
