Weed vs Greed 5.11

Weedio Greedy

By some incompetent fool

Do you remember those first custom maps that released on battle.net shortly after Warcraft's release?
The autistic ramblings of some 12 year old covering the loading screen.
The game starting with the characteristic ding of reaching high upkeep.
Trying to figure out what's going on, you scan the map with the horribly limited vision of the standard 1650 camera distance.
Half the people have already left within the first couple of minutes of having started the "Lord of the Rings"-esque custom map.
Arthas as Aragorn, Sylvanas as Legolas, Muradin as Gimli and Antonidas as Gandalf.
After 20 minutes you finally get out of high upkeep, only to be greeted by ridiculous imbalance caused by the creator not having tested the map a single time.
Your last remaining allies leave while you make your final stand, only to be kicked out at the final moment by a fatal error.
This is one of those maps.

The Design Tenets
This is a game about the class struggle of the proletariat against the bourgeoisie. It is bound to make you stop for a moment and ponder: "Has criticism of the problematic nature of our capitalist realist society become so normalized, that it only perpetuates the systems of class oppression?" or "If communism has failed because of the failings of the soviet union, has capitalism failed because of the failings of the third world?". The core design tenet behind this custom map: all those who play it must leave this classical piece of Warcraft 3 software as a wiser man.

The Poor Farmers
Just like in real life, odds are you are going to be playing the game of class oppression as an individual of the poor working class. Your objective as a farmer is to hide somewhere deep inside the woods and start work on your masterplan to take down the rich businessmen, who hoard their wealth inside the center-stage factory. This factory must be taken down before they release their toxic waste onto the land.
  • Build a base with an intuitive tech-tree
  • Earn resources through quality farming mechanics
  • Read the worst tool tips you've ever seen. Why don't they explain anything!?
  • Enjoy some of those dank internet references the kids like these days, am I cool yet?
  • I think there might be some references to drugs in there somewhere
Disclaimer: Drugs are bad, mkay!

The Rich Businessmen
Surely you don't need an explanation to play this simple game. You are smart, handsome, and more importantly: RICH! Those degenerate farmers don't have penny! Point at them and laugh! Also, you should probably hire an assassin to kill them.
  • Smart
  • Handsome
  • Rich
  • Get girls
  • Get money
  • Get more money
  • Drink from the river of tears when the farmers start crying imbalance
  • Feel a little bad inside when they start leaving the game

The Stanky Druid
Any analytical piece of philosophy isn't complete with the synthesis to the thesis and anithesis, the Lacanian Chimneysweep, the uncategorical category, the sublime other. So it is with the highest of anticipations that I present to you: the Stanky Druid. What is life but to live in a humble abode in the forest and resist the rampant industrialization by sending letter bombs to university employees?
  • Annoy the bejesus out of the businessmen
  • Help the farmers by tending to their farms
  • Do a little trolling
  • Take inspiration from the unibomber
  • Annoy the bejesus out of the businessmen

All creeps can now hit air.

The Windwalker's charge no longer bugs out when he gets teleported as he casts the ability.


MACRO OVERHAUL
This patch is redesigning midgame Farmer macro.
First goal of the redesign: I want there to be meaningful choices in the midgame build of Farmers.
Second goal of the redesign: I want that window of time where you have fun and competitive fights against hunters to be bigger, a.k.a the window between where you are just about no longer easy pickings for the Hunters until you have an undefeatable base.

The solution is reworking the trinity of Warehouse, Windmill and Blacksmith such that the order in which you build them consititutes a unique build and provides different options of fighting against Hunters. From a design point of view I want you to be able to competititvely defend against Farmers the moment you build one of the three trinity buildings, until you have researched architecture. After architecture your base should be strong enough such that it can't be broken by Hunters.

You can only build 1 Warehouse, 1 Windmill and 1 Blacksmith.
The health of the Warehouse, Windmill and Blacksmith are doubled.
The build time of the Warehouse, Windmill and Blacksmith are halved.
Warehouse now costs 750 lumber up from 400.
Windmill now costs 300 gold, 300 lumber and 3 food up from 275 gold.
Blacksmith now costs 500 gold and 200 lumber up from 200 gold and 200 lumber.

The idea is that you choose one of the three buildings to rush first, each giving you a different advantage.

Building the Blacksmith first allows you to build stronger towers. As such the towers have been reworked:
Guard Tower can be upgraded into Ballista Towers for 200 lumber, 100 gold and 1 food, increasing their health by 400, their damage by 20 and their range by 150.
Ballista Towers are the towers that are upgraded into Forts.
Ballista Towers require a Blacksmith.
Cannon Towers require a Blacksmith.
Forts and Citadels require Architecture.
Increased Tower health to 500 from 420.
Reduced the cost of the Guard Tower to 120 lumber from 150.
Increased the health of the Cannon Tower to 1050 from 850 and their ranged to 850 from 700.
Reduced the cost of Forts to 200 gold and 300 lumber down from 300 gold and 750 lumber.
Reduced the cost of Citadels to 400 gold and 200 lumber down from 600 gold and 150 lumber.

Building the Warehouse first allows you to build a strong early game army.
The Warehouse provides an aura that gives 6 armor to nearby units.
The Warehouse can Call to Arms nearby workers, temporarily turning them into Militia.
The Warehouse is the requirement to garrison Workers into max level Hay Piles.
Upgrading Hay Piles no longer requires a Windmill.

Building the Windmill boosts your economy.
A lot of researches have been moved to the Windmill:
-Improved Lumber Harvesting from the Barnhouse
-Deforestation from the Warehouse (gold cost reduced by 400)
-Improved Mining from the Workshop (lumber cost reduced by 400)
-Well Spring from the Library
The Windmill no longer sells seeds, but still unlocks the seeds for Grainmills.

-The Capacitor provides 15 food and is a defensive tower. Can be upgraded 5 more times for more damage and more supply.
-The Vault generates gold, experience or maximum mana for the Grand Magus over time.

Ma boii zoom slappin' in one of the newer versions of the map.
Apparently people play this tripe, who would've thought? It even has a fatal error at the end, just how I like it.
This one is hosted by some guy called Wtii? Does anyone know this guy?


Everything in this map has been carefully stolen from countless creators by a teenager many ages ago. This map is unprotected, feel free to steal any of my shitty code for yourself.

I was honestly expecting something a lot more "enjoyably broken".
This map is way too well made for what you claim it to be.

Weed vs Greed is a tag map, there are two factions; farmers (the base-building faction) and assassins (hero based, hunts farmers).
That said, I feel the farmer faction is the more fleshed out one. Though it can be argued that exists by virtue of having a tech-tree and base building as opposed to the more hero-centric assassins.


Honestly, I found the farming to be the best part of the map. Hard to put a thumb on why its good (besides that it controls well and comes across as very natural/intuitive), but I would genuinely consider it the best farming simulation in a wc3 map.
- If the map was simply farming and nothing else, Id still play it to be honest.

Mechanics wise, I feel where the map falls short are the assassins (the tagging faction).
The builder and "tech-tree lite" that assassins have seems out of place, it doesn't seem to do anything interesting (though you could easily argue the assassins would be weaker without it), most of the building functions could easily be neutral buildings in the factory homebase.
In short, the assassins faction seems to have less to do/is less interesting to play, and the light base building they have seems shoehorned in.
- I cant tell you how to dev your map, though If were to change anything, Id make the assassin faction to include managing the factories defences. (ie. all the npcs currently in the factory would have to be populated/or at least upgraded by the assassins).

Aesthetically, the map is well presented; the terrain is good enough for the purpose it serves.
-I also like how you've organised the water bodies on the map to form what looks like a proper river system.
There's an opening cinematic, which may seem odd for a multiplayer map; but really isn't that uncommon especially among many older maps. Come to think of it, the whole map does feel like something out of the pre-2010's, not that I consider that to a be a bad thing.

Minor gripes
- Would be nice if there was an effect whenever a crop ripens.
- Some of the trees are rotated at an odd angle which shows too much of the shaded side.
- As the assassin you can kill friendly NPC's, including the businessman.


TLDR Version
- Solid tag map (builders vs hero)
- Good presentation

It used to be a broken mess (to an extent it still is), I only recently took up development of it again to try and make it playable (which it still isn't).
There's still a game breaking fatal error that mostly pops up in the last 5 minutes of the game. Haven't been able to figure out what causes it yet.

Hey, I enjoyed WTii playing this maps and showing it on his videos. It's quite a cool map :)

You can get some help on the fatal errors here: Triggers & Scripts
Also, please credit those few skins / models. All you have to do is credit the authors and you're good.

For those two reasons, I'm setting this map's status to 'awaiting update'
Cheers!

I have no idea as to what particular event is causing the fatal errors. I'm guessing it would be too much to ask of people to sift through all of the triggers, abilities, units, items, dooddads, destructibles, the placements of them on the map, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, to find that one thing that causes the fatal error.

Also, I can't find the source for three of the models that I downloaded a long time ago. A tophat and a cape, both worn by the rich businessmen units, and the model used for the workers of the Farmers.

Only thing is the fatal error you've mentioned, otherwise this map more than meets the standard for approval.

~ Reviewed, Kino

Love the review.

I fixed the minor gripes straight away, however as to the lite tech-tree of the assassins I am thinking of keeping it this way.

I agree with the fact that being able to build with your cultist feels a bit out of place, and their tech tree is underdeveloped and a bit boring (it couldn't be otherwise, as they are the taggers, not the builders). But the way the cultists interacts with scouting, teleporting around the map, and creeping has made the cultist impossible to replace as a mechanic, as the unit has become so deeply rooted in the way assassins operate.
As to the Cultist being able to build buildings: the tech tree right now provides options for different kind of playstyles.
For instance, assassins can choose to build buildings or spend their money on items. When building buildings they can choose between building an economy, getting scouting units, or providing tomes for the assassin. If I were to simply give these functions to neutral buildings in the factory homebase, there would be less of a choice for the assassin as he or she would not have to spend resources and time trying to get access to these functions. The cultist as a unit would also have nothing to occupy itself with, as it can no longer build a base or gather resources. Cultists would most likely stand still for most of the game at random points on the map.
I've been messing around Cultists and the buildings they can build ever since I started work on the map. The most recent change has forced Cultist to construct their base outside of the Factory, so they are targets for Farmers to attack. Maybe that will spice things up a bit.

I like the idea of the Assassins having to manage the defenses of the factory. In previous versions the assassins could hire additional guards and upgrade their weapons and armor. However these mechanics turned the game into a bit of a mess. The mechanics were hardly used, as most of the time assassins saw the defenses of the factory as something useless. The logic behind that statement was that when massive armies reach the gates, you've already lost. And if purchased at all, the additional guards would clutter the already limited space the units inside the factory occupied.
I'll brainstorm a little more about the idea, there must be something practical inside there somewhere.

if you could make the tech tree of the cultists as funny as the builder one, it would be much more interesting. I have to say, I never checked out that many tooltips, and you even referenced it, so this is truly well done and hilarious!!! :D Maybe you could make some funny things at the cultist side ...

Hi about this map it's fun an enjoyable. But I'm not here to talk about what i think about the map or whatever! I have a question that where are the damn rings? I found 7 and One of them is behind a tree and there's no way to get there becuase it's blocked by trees and what are those oaks and treants doing seperated in the map?!?!?!

I found 7 and One of them is behind a tree and there's no way to get there becuase it's blocked by trees and what are those oaks and treants doing seperated in the map?!?!?!

Walking into Henk's decaying farm patch reveals the location of all rings.
Those treants are there for Assassins to creep for experience and gold. They can also be used by panicking farmers to juke.

I was honestly expecting something a lot more "enjoyably broken".
This map is way too well made for what you claim it to be.

Weed vs Greed is a tag map, there are two factions; farmers (the base-building faction) and assassins (hero based, hunts farmers).
That said, I feel the farmer faction is the more fleshed out one. Though it can be argued that exists by virtue of having a tech-tree and base building as opposed to the more hero-centric assassins.


Honestly, I found the farming to be the best part of the map. Hard to put a thumb on why its good (besides that it controls well and comes across as very natural/intuitive), but I would genuinely consider it the best farming simulation in a wc3 map.
- If the map was simply farming and nothing else, Id still play it to be honest.

Mechanics wise, I feel where the map falls short are the assassins (the tagging faction).
The builder and "tech-tree lite" that assassins have seems out of place, it doesn't seem to do anything interesting (though you could easily argue the assassins would be weaker without it), most of the building functions could easily be neutral buildings in the factory homebase.
In short, the assassins faction seems to have less to do/is less interesting to play, and the light base building they have seems shoehorned in.
- I cant tell you how to dev your map, though If were to change anything, Id make the assassin faction to include managing the factories defences. (ie. all the npcs currently in the factory would have to be populated/or at least upgraded by the assassins).

Aesthetically, the map is well presented; the terrain is good enough for the purpose it serves.
-I also like how you've organised the water bodies on the map to form what looks like a proper river system.
There's an opening cinematic, which may seem odd for a multiplayer map; but really isn't that uncommon especially among many older maps. Come to think of it, the whole map does feel like something out of the pre-2010's, not that I consider that to a be a bad thing.

Minor gripes
- Would be nice if there was an effect whenever a crop ripens.
- Some of the trees are rotated at an odd angle which shows too much of the shaded side.
- As the assassin you can kill friendly NPC's, including the businessman.


TLDR Version
- Solid tag map in the classic style (builders vs hero)
- Good presentation

Only thing is the fatal error you've mentioned, otherwise this map more than meets the standard for approval.

~ Reviewed, Kino

Haven't had a fatal error in about 10 games or so, so the fatal error seems to be fixed.

Ay You might want to put a stronger protection on your map as it's been targeted by a map thief called Lions_Blood. The guy goes around stealing maps and putting his name in the credits you'll find your map changed to be credited to be his in the makemehost game selection you can check yourself the version is 2.64

Thanks for the heads up, but I already knew about Lions_Blood and the map on MakeMeHost.
I'd rather have the map unprotected and have people "steal" it, then that no one will be able to open it to learn from or improve it.

I played the map for a couple of hours, and the map seems really good. The two factions are fleshed out really nice. (Especially the farmers)

Not related to your map or anything but:
Do you remember those first custom maps that released on battle.net shortly after Warcraft's release?
The autistic ramblings of some 12 year old covering the loading screen.
The game starting with the characteristic ding of reaching high upkeep.
Trying to figure out what's going on, you scan the map with the horribly limited vision of the standard 1650 camera distance.
Half the people have already left within the first couple of minutes of having started the "Lord of the Rings"-esque custom map.
Arthas as Aragorn, Sylvanas as Legolas , Muradin as Gimli and Antonidas as Gandalf.
After 20 minutes you finally get out of high upkeep, only to be greeted by ridiculous imbalance caused by the creator not having tested the map a single time.
Your last remaining allies leave while you make your final stand, only to be kicked out at the final moment by a fatal error.
This is one of those maps.

This description reminds me of that map called "Battle of Rohan", which I was testing a few days back. It also has a heavily edited version called as "Great War of Rohan" that I found at epicwar. And yes, that map was imbalance.

hey su7vider i did the easter egg and found out something very upsetting about the demon, he can be devoured by nidhogg the dragon and digested within a few minutes and after that the player is left with nothing if he hasnt build before but its not much without the main farmer because you cant rebuild if you get attacked by assassins, il leave it for you to decide what to do with this knowledge but i would do something about myself tho and i migth aswell thank you for making WvsG its my favorite custom mode created in the many years of WC3.

That's hilarious, I am guessing that happened in a game you played on your own offline. Otherwise that would be the craziest game of weedy greeds ever.

Sadly it was a live game i hosted yesterday with a friend with MMH, im still butthurt and heartbroken about it, but i did find everything about the easter egg offline, that game yesterday was to test it online to see how well it could be done and im going to perform it always, slowly tweaking the gathering of the rings and building a base at the same time, because i just rushed the easter egg on that game not building anything.

So my first impressions are:

Dude weed lol

I think I'm starting to understand why I dislike Vampirism (and Tag in general, I guess) type games. It's impossible to balance. If you make the Taggers strong enough to go through the player's defenses, it gets really annoying and frustrating because it takes them far less effort than it takes to build the bases to begin with. If you make them too weak, however, then the game just gets boring because it's too easy. I think a game like this can't really work with Human-controlled Taggers. They need to be AI (This is also why Vampirism doesn't work). It would be much easier to balance that way because the player is actually playing against the game and because of that the game doesn't have to do really stupid and annoying shit like teleport units behind your walls or have infinite free Far Sight. When it's a game of Players vs AI you're playing against the game, not the imbalance or people abusing said imbalance. This makes balancing the game much easier and players can feel much more satisfied with said balance because you're A) not having to plan for every contingency a player could do and B) you don't have to make as many minor tweaks to the AI side because if things don't seem as balanced all you have to do is adjust the player side and not the AI side. Instead this way it would be more like a Defense map with an objective to destroy the center before the timer is up while defending against large waves of units that attack the players. The AI could also build random units to add into these waves so they're not all just spawning (Ordering them to build the units on timers from buildings they actually have, but their units could be free).

As for what's actually here, The Taggers seem really underpowered. Even if all they're suppose to be doing is defending, instead of breaking into your bases, I don't think they can quite pull that off or at least not unless they are an expert at the game and that makes for a really underwhelming experience. You can't really play it more than once or twice without experiencing everything it has to offer unless all the taggers are good or all the builders are playing the game basically for the first time.

On the Builder's side, for the most part things are okay. The only problem I think there is is the lack of unit options. You have Militia and a few demi-hero units and that's it and to top that off they're very food heavy and you have such a small food limit (Only 150) so as the builders you're forced to team up your groups of Militia and that's fine and dandy and all but coordinating that would be a pain, would require basically a pre-made team that knows what they're doing, and once again, the same issue that I mentioned earlier, just takes far more effort to accomplish then it would take to actually defend it.

These reasons and a few more are why I think the Rich Business Men should just be an AI and the map turned into a defense map. It would salvage everything perfectly and would become a very satisfying defense map.

Alternatively, this can be fixed by making the Rich Business Men actually have to do something other than go around the map and A-Click things and click a few abilities from time to time. :^)

That's about all my thoughts so far. I'll try to play a bit more to see if I can make a proper review.

That's about all my thoughts so far. I'll try to play a bit more to see if I can make a proper review.

This is a pretty good post that touches exactly on what I've been struggling with making this map. I'll try to justify the decisions I've made point by point.

  • Balancing player versus player tag maps is hard because of the inherent asymmetry in the tag genre.
I wholeheartedly agree, player versus player tag maps are a fucking mess that can't be balanced. The way I tried to put patch it up a little bit is by making the skill cap really high, that way if you're good at the game you will win anyway, even if the odds are not in your favor. The reason why I haven't made the map player versus AI is that I am too incompetent to pull off making a fullfilling AI, and because playing as the tagger is actually a lot of fun. I would agree that player vs AI suits the genre better, but I'm just rowing with the oars I've got.

  • Taggers being able to teleporting behind walls is a bad mechanic.
This is by far the complaint that I get most. The mechanic is counter intuitive in the sense that no other tag map has it. People playing warcraft 3 custom games are hardwired to build a wall at the choke point of their base and leave the rest unattended. When inevitably the tagger somehow gets over the wall, and they lose their entire base because of it, it's about a 50% chance that person leaves the game. This has ruined many games I've been in. However I really think this is a required mechanic in order to have a satisfying player versus player tag map. People that play warcraft 3 melee maps really get this. Building the layout of a base is a skill that you need to master. It's not just a mindless task that's a glorified checkbox, like you just build a tower inside your base instead and you're fine. Good players can instantly detect whether another player has any clue what he's doing just by looking at where he placed his buildings. Every player that I play with that has any idea how to play builds their base differently, and every tagger deals with their bases differently. I would almost claim that building and dealing with a solid base is the bread and butter of the early- and midgame for the tagger and builder both.

  • The map seems builder/tagger favored because <insert reason>.
The problem with addressing concerns like these is that its usually supported by anecdotes and usually coming from someone who does not have the knowledge of the game that I have. The thing is that in the games that I play with a full inhouse of decent players, it's always really close those last couple of minutes of the game. There are some particular tagger heroes that aren't really good. I do recognize that this way of balancing means that the game probably isn't that friendly towards newer players, since the game isn't balanced for them. However I can't appease both groups of players, and honestly if I had to choose I would rather have my games be a lot of fun then the games played by other players. It's more fruitful for me if criticism comes in the form of: this particular mechanic in your game is a bad mechanic because it isn't fun, or it's uncompetitive, or it goes against the designed intent, etc.

  • The win condition of a game should not rely on coordination of good players, that practically makes you require a premade team.
I disagree with the premise that this game practically requires a premade team. I think the coordination required in Weed vs Greed is quite little in comparison to the moba genre, and the vast majority of dota games played on battle.net were played solo. I do however agree that having a premade team gives you a significant advantage in playing the map, but I don't see this as a big problem.

  • The taggers spend nearly all their time walking around the map looking for people, occasionally a-clicking things and casting abilities. They do this so much that this almost all they do.
I don't think this is true. In the early game as a tagger I'm almost constantly busy scouting with all my summons, my minions, my hero and my woofy. I'm busy managing my inventory and thinking about what items to get; for scouting and assassinating farmers. I'm busy communicating with my team mates; who's going to build their base first, who we're funneling resources to, who's going to be jungling and where we're going to be scouting. I'm busy chasing pesky builders around that are trying to escape. In the midgame I'm busy dealing with those bases that have gotten big, trying to harass their workers and maybe even take out some important structures. Maybe in the midgame all the taggers buy their first big items and we get together to kill a boss. And I'm still constantly busy scouting around with all my units for bases and hidden outposts that people have build to siege the factory. And in the lategame I am more busy than ever being constantly under siege by wave after wave of enemies.

This game is fun and the tooltips and your description are fucking hysterical, there are some mechanics that I don't like and I find clunky, and not everything is well explained, but this game solidly deserves 5 stars in my opinion.

Thanks, my bro.

What are the mechanics you don't like or think are clunky? Towers are too strong? Assassin heroes can get past walls? Farmer armies are too small? Assassin heroes are too weak?
Those are the usual complaints, but if you have some new insights maybe I can fix some of them.

Well I always thought this is one of those "Broken" maps you would find back in the old days, but it is not and that's a good thing. Probably one of the best Tag/Vamp type map I have ever played.

oh fuck, I forgot to answer, I don't remember exactly what I found clunky cause I dicked around in this map a long time ago, I guess on a seperate note I'd like to add that I wish the map worked better with small groups (like 2 people on LAN lol). But I just remember that ascending the tech tree was less simple and intuitive than it was in vampirism beast (even there it took a while to figure out). I'll take 4.00 out for a spin at some point, and then I'll have some Fresh, piping hot, cry babying for you.

Fresh, piping hot, cry babies are my favorite.

I considered for while about how to make it a map playable by a small group of players; like maybe if the amount of players is less than 6 the map is smaller because its blocked off by chokepoints. However I don't think that would be that fun to play, and the map almost fills entirely up when hosted by something like MakeMeHost anyway.
Now really, be serious. How did you know my real name?
I'm telling you bro, MAGIC.

Ah, okay, I remember now, some of my critiques (whining) involve the crop system. The tool tip for the harvestor is amazing, AND accurate, but I sincerely wish it had an auto reap function. But more realistically, I just think that either the granary should have a higher "select user" range, or the harvester should at least be pocketizable, because the amount of goddamn times I misplace the harvester is unbelievable. In general it would be nice not to have to manually reap crops, and if they just turned into money when they were done. But I get that theres a whole balance thing with the mana etc. plus it makes the farming experience more authentic, cause ya know...
We all want to come home and live out our deep deep fantasies of being a poor farmer by clicking and pressing R a retarded amount of times. Then again shit like Euro Truck Simulator exists.

Oh, and the other HUGE thing, how TF are you supposed to go in and out of your base? In Vampirism, all the relevant units had Blink, but in WvG it just seems like you have to destroy your own walls, if there was one thing I'd get down on my knees and suck dick for in this game, it's there being some sort of gate system or just giving Henk Units (at least the engine and Henk himself) natural ability to walk through hay piles, or making them open/closable. If there is an obvious way to do it that I'm missing, in that case I'd just appreciate that being said somewhere in game so that people know.

Oh also, btw I'm a lazy asshole who can't be fucked to update WC3, and im also scared it'll mess up other custom games, I need to just make a separate folder, but in any case, I fucked around in 3.51 and assumed that those things haven't been changed.
