Ok, me and my partner have sorta forgotton about the map for a while, and we've got 1/2 the map done, (It is a big one). But I'll be map making until the last minute and hopefull it'll be done. If it comes to it I might request another week, but I've made a plan and we should just fit it in.

. Sorry I won't be able to give you any actual screenshots of the gameplay just yet. I guess I can tell you a bit about the map however.
Theres 7 worlds on the map, and you can visit any of them at any time. Each of them representing an element (
Fire, Water, Earth, Nature, Light and
Dark). And then the seventh one is where the main battle is taking place. There is two teams, known as
The Arnage and
The Terradon.
The reason its called 'Tides' is because you should be pushing back the enemy, and then you should fall back. This is because players will be constantly upgrading their troops to counteract the enemies elements. So for example:
The Arnage upgrade their troops to
Fire element. That means to push them back
The Terradon would upgrade their troops to
Water to push them back. Then the
The Arnage would upgrade their troops to
Nature to push them back, and so it would go on until one team was defeated, and then the game ends.
I planned up a exellent equipment system allowing the players to carry 6 items aswell as equiping 1 Ring, 1 Amulet, 1 Helment, 1 Pair of Gloves, Pair of Boots, and 1 Type of Armor. Most of the permenant items only work when equiped, and there'll be 72 heroes over all to choose from! 12 according to each element. However rather than making 4 skills per hero, I've decided to make 12 skills available to be purchased for each element, and another 12 skills available to be purchased by any element. There will finally be 1 ability for each hero, available only to them which will be an attributed spell.
So far We've:
- Completed the Terrain
- Created all the Heroes
- Started the Equipment System
- Created all of the creeps (180 of them in all)
- Created some of the items
- Created the majority of the triggers
- Imported 18 custom hero models
What We plan to do:
- Create all of the abilties
- Finnish the Equipment System
- Add abilities to the creeps
- Complete the items
- Complete the triggers
- Test and Update
We've got a lot to do, and my only regrets are that I shouldn't've stopped working on the map, and the fact that I made it a bit big. But even if I don't finnish it before the end of the contest, I'll still be happy I completed it and realeased it to the public, after all this will be the first map I've completed, and hopefull with the help of the competition my map will be hosted lots, seen as I can't host myself

I've read this entire thread and I think the Beer one sounds interesting, the naga one sounds good, and the city of drugs one sounds very fun, The Spooky Mansion sounds ok, but I want to know more about it, and I can't remember any of the others just now, but I bet they'll all be ace, I just hope ours is finnished in time, 'cus I really wanna be known.
