[Solved] Map type : Maze / Escape

[Vladadamm]

Map type : Maze / Escape

I'm asking for the change of this Map Type "Maze / Escape", in order to add Slide too.

So, it would be "Maze / Slide / Escape".

 

[Vengeancekael]

Sliding usually is just a mechanic in an escape/maze map, I wouldn't really see it as a map type.

 

[Vladadamm]

So, what are those maps http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/maps-564/crab-slide-v1-1-a-219856/?prev=status%3Dp http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/maps-564/slide-renewal-3-a-218923/?prev=r=20&status=p&page=2 ?

Slide is a map type in the say way as Mazes and Escapes.

I think it won't hurt to put Slide on the Maze/Escape Category.

 

[Skycraft]

Slide isn't a type of map, it's a way of getting through the map. It's a Maze/Escape all the same.

Doesn't need to be put there at all.

It's not a maze, it's not an escape. It's apparented.

Also, they are slide clans as they are maze clans or escape clans and people who plays only that.

Starting from what you said, we could say that Maze and Escapes are the same.

Maze and Escape are not the same thing, mazes can be found in RPG maps, while escape maps usually just have a simple objective like running, avoiding missiles, sliding on ice, etc.
Sliding cannot be a map type, show me a map where all you have to do is slide.
Once again, sliding is just a mechanic in a lot of map types.

Add it to Micelanuos or somtin

Mazes are maps where you run, avoiding monsters and following the path. Some maps examples : http://www.epicwar.com/maps/search/?go=1&n=&a=Thurst4blood&c=0&pf=1&p=1&roc=1&tft=1 http://www.epicwar.com/maps/search/?go=1&n=&a=Blackdoom&c=0&pf=1&p=1&roc=1&tft=1

I show you 2 maps posted on the hive where all you have to do is slide, avoiding monsters and following the path. They are many more maps like this on epicwar and such.

I think it is a good idea, so I have added it.

 

[Vladadamm]

Bump, it seems that it wasn't added.

 

[Ralle]

Sorry. I added it now.

 

[Vladadamm]

Thanks ralle.

With the risk of starting a wave of comments like: "add this too", "add this one too"...

There really needs to be "Dungeon" there... None of the current map types describes the Dungeon type well. Don't you agree?

 

[Vengeancekael]

How is dungeon a map type? :V

 

[Vladadamm]

Imo, it is. Dungeon is a map type where you're inside a dungeon (or something equivalent), and you should progress, passing various difficulties (puzzle solving, boss killing, labyrinths or anything else) until you reach the last room (where there is the treasure/the reason of your come in the dungeon) and of course, you might have a really big boss in this room just to pwn you at 2 steps from ending.

I always thought it is. I might be wrong. Then which of the current map types fits dungeon the best?

 

[CivSavage]

Isn't a dungeon game just a subclass of rpg?

 

[Vengeancekael]

Exactly. Dungeon is simply a map theme.

 

[Vladadamm]

But RPG is kinda all except a precise map kind.

AoS, LoaP, some Campaigns, Hero Defense, Hero Arena, Escapes, Maze, Slide, FPS, TD, Strategy, Risk, etc... could be considered as RPG's cause in all that map kind you play a role (Hero, Peasant, Hero/Other, Hero, Hero, Escaper, Mazer, Slider, Shooter, Builder, General, General, etc...)

 

[Vengeancekael]

You're taking it way out of the box, RPG should no longer be just understood as "Role playing game", as you can see all RPGs these days have the same vibe, with quests, a storyline, cinematics, etc.
On the other hand, I could say the same thing for Dungeons then, since it can be many things.

 

[Troll-Brain]

Meh, all we need is a "DotA" map type.

 

[CivSavage]

It would be overflowing with copycats.

 

[Anachron]

DotA is an AOS?! And we already have that one.
Or am I missing a sarcasm / irony in there?

 

[CivSavage]

You totally are.

 

[Ralle]

DotA is an AoS.
