SC2Mapster

Thx for the great map Aiadan, me played nearly 500 matchs in last few days >_<

Suggestions:

-Make Roach a medium speed tank, 300 hp(mb make not light, not armored and less hp), 50 damage and 3 range with no penalty at melee, realy lack a medium speed, early tank

-Buff Marauders: 1) Increase range from 6 to 7(or 8 :P); or 2) Give him low range Anti-Air attack(mb with low splash); or 3) Give him Anti-Psionic attack; or other, for example Tanks is much better, only on 50 minerals more expensive

-Buff Berserkers: mb decrease cost to 450 and slightly increase health or give very fast speed, to make fast crowd control unit who resorts unexpectedly after the main army spawned

Anyway Map is very good balanced, and we play only in your original version, waiting 1.7 version, thx for your work ^_^

sry for my English =)

Aiadan

I hope you dont mind if I create a spin-off game based on this. The original map concept is not yours anyway, and I wont use the BattleCraft name or anything like that, and will give credit where due.

Suggestions:

Buff Roaches. I sent 5 groups against 3 groups of Ghosts and 1 group of Colossus. They were demolished. Ghosts and Colossus are supposed to be great against light units, Roaches are armored.

Increase Zerling cost to 125 or 150. They make up too well for the weaknesses of many units. Countering them becomes a bother when the only counters will get crushed instantly by your enemy's expensive units and they keep getting spammed and spammed at you. Made 10x worse against 2 opponents.

Something needs to be done about when an ally gets stomped in no time. Perhaps automatically adding 2 cannons to the surviving teammates base. Or resetting the Armageddon cooldown.

For the first 3-5 minutes of the game I think special units should have a 10-15 second cooldown so they have to be used more strategically and with less cheese.

Nerf Mutas. The only counter I've tried that seemed to work very well were Ghosts. Phoenixes were good but not cost effective.

Add more bacon. Yes, bacon.

Add Tic-tac-toe to a corner of the map while we wait for someone to open.

Everyone should start the game being able to choose 1 of 3 hero units that they can control but can't go into the middle. If you've played Platform Defense, having them upgrade with kills and gain new skills would be cool.

That's all I can think of now. When I get stomped again I'll might torture you with more. :D

Really though, awesome map. I've sunk HOURS into this, it's my most played SCII map.

Edit: Seriously, I want Tic-tac-toe. Use some Spine Crawlers. -.-

I think the special units are way to imba at the beginning. Make them more expensive to hold them down in the early Game :)

I played now the BattleCraft LATEST REAL version from Aiadan, but there were still those bugs, see here: http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/2865/bonusdamageerror.jpg

You really need to support arranged teams in the next version

... I go to bed, come back, and I find the BattleCraft that is on the most popular list is the BattleCraft v1.6c Original uploaded by FuckYou.

Needless to say, this version is not localized, and is not a legit version -_-

I've uploaded a new version yet again, the BattleCraft LATEST REAL version.

If this does not work due to sabotage again, I'll give up on trying to get a real map on EU during the beta at least, and hope for lockable maps or cross-realm publishing.

Hi, I'm using the german client and there seems to be a problem with this localisation because I can't see any bonus damages. I mean: I see, how much bonus damage is done, but not to which type of units! Instead, in every bonus damage description there stands something like "DamageVersusColon/..."

Is there any possibility to fix that? I don't know what units to build cause I can't read their strengths...

Besides, it's a really cool mod!

Good thing HateCrews map didn't get bumped to top this reset at least ^^

But yeah, it's nice finally having an official version on the top list so we can have some actual games going.

Hey Aidan

I uploaded the map earlier as a means to direct people here, and to know who the real author was. I was getting pretty fed up of seeing HateCrew put his name on it 2.2 , 2.5 original, 2.5 Real. etc etc etc.

I see your real map this time is getting bumped up nicely. So I`ll remove the map from my account, making it inaccessible for others, so that they can play your 1.6.

gj Aidan.

waiting for 1.7

pls add soem turrets

Ok, once again I've uploaded v1.6 as a localized version.

This time I've uploaded it as BattleCraft v1.6 REAL with added clarification in the map description.

*sigh* not only is Scyn's version not localized, it's not even v1.6 :(

The Param/Value/... thing is due to the map not being localized.

i just logged in and there is a "Battlecraft [EU]" on the top of the list, uploader a guy named "Scyn" with advertising that HateCrew versions are fake... it seemed the latest version however.

Oh, here's a bug i had before the wipe too: http://i49.tinypic.com/2cii5ww.jpg labels dont show up correctly

asi understood some1 get a good job with Battlecraft 1.6 at E userver

hovewer i feel 1.6 version has terrielle terible lacks in gameplay.

either apocalypsis beats powered up a lot or not having canons impact HUGELY. at this moment the only good startegy is to massing up apocalypsis with antiair (unless you managed to go for 1200 points so you can actually tryu anything else)

this unit not good coutnered with anything else, unless other apocalyspis + tanks or somethign backup so battle becomes to ultras vs ultras.

they kinda "should be owned" by iair in paper but actually even voids cant stop them - they ill destroy your pylon faster

sugegstions: to put x2 canosn (at least urrest) AND / OR icnrease pylon life (and armour)

now only ultreas works

they hav huge bonus and well yeah i won 1 game today just when i sent 1 ultra + 1 sniper outright

i don't know exactly how publishing works, but i think that if it's possible the removal, you can just publish the map without any version number, maybe adding "latest version" to the name (something like "BattleCraft Armageddon - latest version"), maybe even no version number written in the splash screen. Another thing you can do is writing in the description that only the version uploaded by you is the original... maybe this would work... probably there would be tons of kids still playing the wrong versions but this could help to regain popularity, if i were you, i would try these things... hope it helps

Any map uploaded by HateCrew is fake.

I think the only localized latest real version is the one I uploaded which is "BattleCraft v1.6 local".

I'm assuming the raging part on the loading screen for 2.5 FINAL is about his 2.0 version being removed from battle.net due to having borderline child pornography on the loading screen.
