Warhammer 40k Vanguard Strike

[Garcis]

Here you go.
The Tau models and the buildings don't have their original animations. I animated them in Mdl Vis / Magos / animtransfer in Retera's. Back then I didn't know how to convert animations.
The Necron units aren't the ones I use in my map, these ones I converted recently but haven't put in the map yet. They have original animations.

The Necron Warrior and Lord you can find on xgm guru where the original author (Iron Maiden) posted them.

thanks master

Ok so I just saw a video of it played on the latest wc3 version and it was horribly bugged.
So here's an update, slightly adjusted the system that was causing the bugs.
Also other stuff.

Holy shit dawg I love this map. Please do consider making other versions with different terrain if possible!

 

[Tohsaka Yuri]

Oh, I have one thing to report. The Survival mode turtle punishment comes down even when all I have back at home are workers and turrets (turrets also trigger spores). I think that's really not conducive to fun gameplay and just makes it more tedious to have to move my workers around really often. It doesn't help that Tyranid troops also drop into base fairly often later on and that makes it even more annoying.

The survival event things trigger automatically, on cooldown. Maybe it's a good idea to add conditions to them. I'll think about that.
I will try making different terrain once I manage to flesh out the AdMech a bit more. It's difficult to move stuff between maps.

I see! Once again, love ya work so far it's really fun. I've noticed a little thing where sometimes unit commands are only followed by specific members of a squad. I imagine it's just a consequence of it being quite fiddly to make squad controls like that in the first place but I just felt like pointing that out in case you could do something about it.
Do you have a community or something for this map on Discord?
