Spore v 1.5a

This game was based off of the well known and long awaited Spore made by Will Wright.
This game includes all phases in Will's game but mainly focus' on Space Phase which I find is the most important phase. There's not much customization unfortunately since my map making skills are pretty limited but I have help by my good friend DaemonprinceSA on US West. Also i'm still looking for bugs so IF you find any tell me ASAP since I dislike looking for every single little bug. The original creator was Santas_cr*p now Santas_rich. I asked for premission to edit this map and he said he was fine with it and that he had stopped anyway. Hopefully this makes him proud and please don't rate me on how good the real Spore is...we all know its gonna be spectacular and I don't want to have to read "OH THIS SUCKS THE REAL SPORE IS WAY BETTER!!!!" anyway this is the game and I hope you like it. ^.^

first: how to get default string?
the description in the quest ununderstandable.
income system at space age is not really good.
more space units would be nice.
and some way to clean up planets from items would be nice too.

Yes the planet items is a big problem but Daemon (daemoncult) is working on something to clean it up, and the space age income is good but I know after about 20 mins on the planet at space age you need to start founding Mining Colonys, Also by quest you mean F9 right? because I havn't touched Quest so it must of been the original author not that im blaming him but next version it will be cleaned up and understandable. Thank you for your suggestions. -Kron12345

For an early map, its not bad at all, it feels odd to play and I've noticed a lot of bugs/balancing issues, but again, mappers have to start somewhere. As far as new mappers go, I give it a 4/5, but as far as good mapping goes, I give it a 2/5.

The map is simple, and usually that makes better gameplay, but it could use a little more, more stuff to do - more monster types, more bulidings, and perhaps bigger islands. Also, it would be nice if the creatures you choose were a little more unique when you get to tribal phase.

Total Accumulation Point : 34/80 * 100 (-12) (Review) = 30.5

[+] -
[!] -
[-] - Several leak trigger that constantly repeat, which is not a good thing since it could cause lag.
[-] - All player start at same place and could kill one another ? Fix that.
[-] - No credit provided in-game.
[-] - Uncredited resources.
[-] - The camera should switch to their main unit once a player select their race.
[-] - Lack of description/information of certain unit.
[-] - Where is Nightshade ? I cannot even find a single building, upgrade or unit with this name.

Review : Ok, I am not please with the way of the author setting up most of the map setting.

For first, there is a lot of leak trigger that could repeat it self over and over again. This could eventually cause lag at the end of the game if the game been play for a long duration.

Second, some structure, unit and upgrade lack of proper information. It makes people wondering what's the point of having it.

Third, it seems you did not give proper credit inside the map such as having quest log for it.

Fourth, you did not credit to those author of those icon/model/skin resources that you used for this map.

Fifth, it is very unprofessional for posting a map and expected a user to find all those bug for you. The creator/author of the map should also check for those bug as well, this eventually already give a bad impression to people not to download your map. Which I have to give packaging a score 1.

Although TM-Magic give a valid point regarding about it, but a new WE editor should try to learn more by visiting forum and read those tutorial about map making.

I have seen a few new editor create a rather impressive map due to the effort that been pour into their map.

Nevertheless, I have to give this map a poor score due to those bug.

In my opinion, I would reject it due to the condition. But, I would give it a chances to improve it to a better level.

Another -12 point for this map.

Working on Something else

This may be one of the last versions I do for this map since well...frankley I'm not that excited for this game. It is already working ALMOST perfectly so you should be still able to play the full experiance. The reason why I'm not doing much more to this is that I feel this map no matter how much effort I put into it it will end up like most maps...Fail to please to players...Dota, some loaps...and RP's are the future of Warcraft III and this map...does NOT what-so-ever come up to those gaming standerds and its not like I'll make my Career making maps or something like that...so I dont put much effort into my maps because of that...and the ones that ARE good are never good enough for the entire Community of gamers...So I feel this map shall never have a good hold on Game List spots...therefore...I am leaving this map to rest in peace in the graveyard of lost and forgotten maps of the older days...when Warcraft III wasn't flooded with Dota this map deserves not to be corrupted by the Plague that is Dota...so my map dies :cry:...Well anyway I'm making a new map called LaaT (I know kinda stupid) AKA Life as a Tigarion and I will use Tiger/Human models and skins. It will be based on LoaP but none of the LoaP terrains will be used. This map will come from scratch and I WILL learn the ways of the Map Maker!!!! Even if it kills me! ok maybe not KILLS me but you get the point. So look forward to Laat in the next couple of Months/Weeks :grin:

Lol why make maps with this attitude? Hosting a map called "Spore" will easily bring a full house, it doesn't need to be the #1 map on w3. People play other things, look how big the TBR clan is on East

Well i played the map but you kinda miss the point... especially in the last 3 phases...
You should have other tribes/cities on your planet AND be able to interact with them peacefully or otherwise.Anyway this map just started and i hope in the future it will be better
EDIT... : Why are you givin up?? It's a great project... Get some friends and some guys who adore spore and you got a team. (Well I don't recommend teams cus you can't get all the credit)
