I am deeply impressed, this map is so awesome, better than Empire Earth. I never saw a WC3 map like this. Best thing is that super walker in the end with the particle cannon.

Hey Acorn511, I'm not sure if you're still actively updating this (phenomenal) map, but I think I've encountered a bug/glitchermabob.

When playing in multiplayer mode (me and my sister) and enabling "-zombie" mode, it causes non-zombies to spawn, along side the zombies, including tanks, riflemen, etc.
I'm assuming it's meant to play out like singleplayer version of -zombie, in that it's all the undead looking characters like skeletons, worms, bone dragons and stuff.

Is there a work-around for this issue?
I'd make sure -creep was off and even tried -decrease command

It's phenomenally difficult to fight the non-zombie, zombies from -zombie because the 100% infection rate is still active on those non-zombies, so we've got Mk I tanks and machine gunners totalling all of my infantry, turning them into hydras (I was at the renaissance age when I started -zombie, so I had lots of melee units and no gunpowder units).
Here's what happened.

Me and my sister started a base together at the bottom left of the map and each of us guarded one of the 2 gates, plonking a load of towers and walls in preparation for -zombie. My sister branched northwards to the capture point just above our home base and built one hell of a fortress (I was focusing on tech, not branching out) I researched everything available up until I was finished with the renaissance capital and began stockpiling some resources so I can create a bunch of units quickly if needed and let my sister catch up. I enabled -zombie and right away- loads of Mk1 tanks and machine gunners spawned, with a few worms and skeletons and the first wave hit my sisters north control point where she had focused her main army and lost half of her entire army. Then a next wave spawned and destroyed her remaining army- with all of them now hydras and no infantry to keep them away from walls and towers (as hydras are now inside the walls because they died within it) and very very very quickly, the base lost every single building and wall- it was ridiculously funny honestly, as I thought she just messed up...
Then they attacked me.
Oh MAN did those tanks shrek me. My walls and towers held up nicely (I was 2 ages ahead of my sister) and I had Leonardo Da Vinci to help out too with his 3x tanks. The tanks died 2 waves later and Leonardo died on the 4th wave and then I encountered a problem.
My towers, even though upgraded as far as I could go at that time, didn't have the firing range of either the tanks or machine gunners and I quickly lost the north gate (east gate wasn't being attacked very much) and then I had the bright idea to spend almost all of my resources I stocked to go up an age to level the playing field, so I done that and then started on some cannons for their long range firing. But damn... That was the idea that killed me off quicker than I could finish a 3rd research.
Even though mechanical- They still died and turned into hydras upon death- then the hydras destroyed my towers- and flying units flew over the walls and killed my workers and frost dragons froze everything and I was just a sitting duck.

The same issue of non-zombies spawning in -zombie has happened every time we played the map (4 times yesterday)

Although, the very first time we played it together, I done -zombie at the start, just after we both placed our town halls down and the only thing I noticed attacking us, were -zombie units.
Today, we're going to be playing it again and this time we're going to do -zombie at the start again in hopes of there being no normal units mixed in.

TLR

Normal creeps spawn along side zombies during -zombie mode in Multiplayer.

Are there any plans to release a Multiplayer-Singleplayer version, in which the singleplayer commands work in multiplayer? Would be pretty great to be able to control the difficulty of AI units and the spawn count, like in singleplayer, especially for those who specifically want to play co-op survival in LAN or with multiple friends over WAN

Also if perhaps command abuse during PvP is a suspected issue with the commands being made available for multiplayer, then perhaps include an option like the Max Epoch option at the start listing "Normal" "Survival Co-op" "Zombie Co-op" "Mixed" where those listed with "Co-op" if chosen, would automatically ally all human players together


P.S. You have seriously reached the next level in humanity, your panda avatar has gained +2 Cuteness and your acorns are growing like wildfire- for having updated this map for 5 and a half flippin' years!

 

[Acorn511]

I have not tested this as zombies are activated at the beginning of the game 99% of the time. I will have to look thru the entire trigger thing to see whats going on.

Single player commands only work for red to avoid randoms abusing the commands.

Ah, forgot to edit my previous message after attempting to -zombie at start
Doing -zombie at the start worked perfectly, even after 2 hours went by, turning -zombie off and on also only spawned only zombies.

It seems it only happens if I enable -zombie for the first time a long time after the start of the map.

Also, not all the singleplayer commands are available, like -lock and -unlock do not work, when playing multiplayer with -zombie mode (though -diff worked)

 

[Acorn511]

Yup I orignally made those to be single player commands. I can change those easy to multiplayer commands too

 

[Yourself]

Zombies spawns with creeps, if you activate the -zombie command when they already spawned.

good job on the map. I'm going to have no more time left for today X3

+rep

 

[Ardenian]

Could you make ENT host the newest version or do you don't have power about this ?
It is annoying that ENT hosts like 3.00 or something

 

[Acorn511]

I can add it to Makemehost. I think you would have to make an account on Entgaming to add the newest version. It really sucks that they still host the crappy v 3.0 which isn't even made by me but by some random dude that tweaked the map.

 

[sentrywiz]

This looks insane. Inspired by Empire Earth I presume? Since you go from savages to mechs with rockets and ion cannons?

Right in the description bro

 

[Acorn511]

2nd option to play as zombies coming soon!

 

[Ardenian]

Wow, that sounds great! I am excited for it!

 

[Acorn511]

Incomplete version is now available. Type -undead at the start of the game to unlock zombie race. Any bugs/glitches found will be appreciate. Totally untested!

 

[cleavinghammer]

For starters, typing "-undead" doesn't do anything, whether done before or after setting up a capitol.

It should work. Which color were you?

 

[cleavinghammer]

Red, in single player.

And now it works. Go figure.

Burrow upgrade says you need it to build Beetles, but they're available from the start. Scratch that- the Spitter Beetle built at the Cursed Barracks is called a Beetle.
Skull Splitter requires a level 2 hall and a level 3 upgrade.
Shrine of Fire isn't AoE.

Thank you! Keep that up...fixes will be coming soon

 

[Ardenian]

Great, I check it out!

Uhm, which one is the newest version now ? The one you attached or the one uploaded ?

 

[cleavinghammer]

Rapture icon is buggy.
Hulk can be made without Ironclad upgrade.

 

[Eldin HawkWing]

Hi Acorn! Your Map is Awesome...And I 'm Waiting for the Next Update
Be Sure To Improve It More. I Have Some Suggestion
I Want you to make it Anti-Cheat Map because it is Nice To Cheat like Warpten and GreedisGood
I Also want you To Add Some Structures Like House just to add Food For Heroes


This Is What i Been Waiting For!
Good Luck!

I Vote 5/5

Edit: I Also want a Max Epoch to Nano Age in the Selection

This is a mostly multiplayer map so I didn't bother implementing anti-cheat. Also for testing purposes, I use the codes myself

 

[Eldin HawkWing]

Can you Add AI that Builds They're Civilization.?
It Could Be Nice!. + Rep

 

[Ardenian]

^good idea, but probably pretty much time-consuming, considering the amount of ages and techs

 

[Wasabee]

^good idea, but probably pretty much time-consuming, considering the amount of ages and techs

Yet it would be awesome to fight against AI.

 

[Acorn511]

It would be pretty awesome for a building ai,but right now the ai just spawns units. Making an ai that can decide between 200-300 units would be insanely hard. I'm a pharmacist, not a programmer by trade.

 

[FLo0pZ]

my game keeps crashing. no idea why. it was about a few minutes after i upgraded my town hall (age upgrade?).

i played single player btw.

Try Downloading it Again.

 

[RinKaWaII]

Thank you for the feedback RinkaWaII. Due to the file sizes of a lot of units, it's hard to fit in the angel units (most of them are over 200 kb). I will make some updates soon. Passed all my board exams haha

That's so sad

In Any Case can you make the map more bigger? I Don't Care if This map will be over 10mbs+ but i don't know if its possible since your the creator. Mostly my friends playing this on GameRanger and they complaining to the map size because the details what on the map is more bigger than the size of the map they playing that's why especially when you add the -undead mode into it now because Undead is all about spamming units and we're hardly fit on the map with full house or maybe not I think 8+ players is hardly fit on it.

10 mb+ is not playable on battlenet. 8 mb max. I will have to do some major reterraining and trigger modification to make it any bigger. By standard editor means, it's already the max size and is already "huge" but it feels smaller due to the default zoom being 3000 instead of 1800 in normal warcraft.

 

[titans_zealot]

Looks epic!

 

[FLo0pZ]

good map. finally fixed the crash issue i guess, but I have a few requests though.

can you make all the wonder's upgradable ?

and I'd prefer if wonder's just give buff's and heals instead of summons.

and can you add the attack range of towers ? the only units that should have more attack range are ballista's / catapults / siege units. my tower's got hammered by archers.

can u replace a couple of airplane models ? i'd prefer modern day units.
For jets i'd suggest USA F-series, Russian Mig's, Sukhois.
For choppers i'd suggest AH-64 Apache, RAH-66 Comanche.
For Tanks I'd suggest USA M1A2 abrams, Germany Leopard 2A7, and Russian T-90

before the ranged units age, should consist of mainly 3 units:

1. melee / tank. increased damage to cavalries.
2. ranged units. increased damage to melee units.
3. cavalry. increased damage to ranged units.
4. siege units. increased damage to buildings.

when the next is ranged age, melee / ranged unit should upgrade to marines / rangers, cavalry and siege units to tanks.

all unit type should automatically upgrade once you've reached the next age.
(pick all units of type x -> replace with type y, where y is the next upgrade)
ex: warriors -> swordsman -> etc. or you can just add an upgrade button to each unit.


this way, barracks won't be so crowded. remember the button location?
1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8
9 10 11 12

number 8 and 12 is reserved for rally point and cancel construction button. so in any given unit producing structures you can only have 10 unit button. 9 if you reserve 1 button for upgrading the structure (upgrade barracks).
I'd suggest number 1 5 = melee units, number 2 6 = ranged units, number 3 7 = cavalries, and number = 9 10 is siege unit. button 11 for upgrade barracks. button 4 for... well i'll leave that to you.

research building (academy university) should be upgradable.
following the button placement above, reserve button position 11 to upgrade structures. same goes with upgrade button for towers and walls.

age upgrade should require that all technologies in the research building upgraded.

oh and heroes should be 3 types. and upgradable.
physical hero - melee / tank. (armor aura / move speed aura / evasion / block damage)
ranged hero - ranged damage buff (ranged dmg aura / attack speed / critical)
support hero - healer's / disabler (hp / mp regen aura / tranquility / death coil / holy light / healing spray / hex)

I played sid meier's Civilization 1-2-3, civilization: call to power, empire earth.
my favorite's civ CTP.

great job btw.

 

[Acorn511]

The crash issue is with stonehenge and the upgrade requirement. I accidentally deleted an actual upgrade but the requirement was still there and caused a crash as soon as anyone saw the stonehenge. It's all fix now

 

[Peaces]

what are the new fixes?

 

[Acorn511]

Fixed crash issue from building stonehenge

Balanced some units, mostly on undead side

More balancing to come, some of the wonders are too op

Play zombie ai mode to find out

-zombie and try to survive as long as you can

Played this map for hours now, really enjoyed it.
Good work man.

yeah, my time allows it, but not my computer, i got fatal error once, and the other time my computer went supper laggy that i cant even click nor scroll through my map, can you spoil it ?

type -diff 15 at the start

 

[cleavinghammer]

* You should make control points immune to nuclear residue, otherwise they keep dying and reverting, filling up the screen with "Player has taken a control point!"
* -zombie should turn the spawns into zombies right away instead of at the next difficulty increase.
* Grand Crypts have the Crypt tooltip.

Hi, Did the map stop working in the latest patch?

I can build a Stone age Capital, attack and take a control point with it, but then nothing. No army, no builder, no hero. Zombies come and kill me after a minute.

I see from the editor fields it's supposed to have 5 kinds of Units Trained (h04J,h000,h042,h05U,h04L)

But there's nothing in-game:

except "Pack up", but that doesn't help much.

Also, a minor nitpick: the minimap does not 1:1 correspond to the game camera.
See the small white rectangle above? — ^^ ↑↑ ^^ It's a few pixels off every time.
Even after I reset the camera to normal, the white rectangle should be 2 more millimeters to the south.

Edit: This condition does nothing (Found 11 times In "Defeat Pxx" triggers where xx is an int between 1..11):

((Owner of (Killing unit)) Equal to (Owner of (Triggering unit))) or ((Owner of (Killing unit)) Not equal to (Owner of (Triggering unit)))

One of these "Equal / Not equal to" checks will always be True, and the other False. In the end "True or False" evaluates to True. Always. ("False or True" likewise.)

Edit 2: I fixed the first bug (made ancient builders trainable again) but got stuck again before even reaching Neolithic age. Specifically the required research for it; Agriculture was not accessible in any way.

Did you download version 3.13a on this website? I hadn't worked on this map for almost 3 years so anything past 3.13a is a fake

 

[3ICE]

Yes, of course. HIVE is my main way to obtain new maps. The version I got from here had all the above problems.

I did get it to work though. Waited a month and tried again. (New WC3 patch and all...)
No problems this time. Everything works fine.

Still those trigger conditions... They are not beneficial:

This condition does nothing (Found 11 times In "Defeat Pxx" triggers where xx is an int between 1..11):

((Owner of (Killing unit)) Equal to (Owner of (Triggering unit))) or ((Owner of (Killing unit)) Not equal to (Owner of (Triggering unit)))

This is a good map. So much content!

Edit: Although now I'm stuck at Necropolis VIII. Played for 42 minutes.

Edit 2: Player 2 more hours, this time as human. Wow. So many wonders!

 

[Acorn511]

Thanks for pointing out the useless trigger, ill get rid of it in the next update. Need to update wc3 myself, maybe include a big update since the 8 mb limit is raised

 

[neven1]

So when is the update coming? Or you have given up?

 

[Jewel724]

Tried adding AI into the map when playing with another person. Didn't see the AI at all.
