The Hungry Baneling by johnfloyd
On the fringe of space, the rogue cerebrate Glummoth battles against a joint Terran and Protoss military alliance. Unlike other cerebrates who are content to use what the Overmind has left them, Glummoth has continued the Overmind's evolutionary experiments to bolster his forces. Just as the Overmind's experiments succeeded in creating the mighty Queen of Blades, Glummoth's years of experiments have finally yielded his own mighty warrior; The Hungry Baneling! Created with one purpose in mind, The Hungry Baneling consumes all in its path, friend and foe alike. The more you eat, the more you grow. The more you grow, the more you can eat!
The Hungry Baneling is of a similar nature to the game Spore, in which you control a primary unit, and must "consume" smaller units, with the aim of increasing your "size", in order to consume even larger units, later on in the game. Your mission to defeat the combined Terran and Protoss army is aided by the rest of your Swarm, which is automatically rallied into combat, to fight along side you, or to become your "food". You must consume units on the field, in order to "grow". These units can be either from the Terran/Protoss army, or the Zerg units fighting along side you. You are restricted to consuming units "smaller" than you, and are notified when you are able to consume new units.
Those of you who want to check the map out, may do so at the project page. In addition, just recently, Crucius did a lengthy writeup and decent review of the map, including the video seen below.
i played the download and whilst it started off fun it soon became too easy and laggy... the cliffs were annoying as as soon as you ate over 15oo you were too big and it beacme a continueose stream of reaper noise.
oh and the WASD movement is laggy and a bit odd, you mignt need to fix that ( and how about making it 4p as a race to who can win first?!)
i can see this as a awesome multiplayer map :P be nice if the damage scaled a bit and if the omega breed was actually a threat to you. but if you do want to make a multiplayer out of this i got some ideas for you
Yeah, brain fart :P It was recorded first thing in the morning XD Was meant to be 1% :P
5% of 500 is 5 hp per tick? o.O
so 500*0,05=25 lol :P
