Battleships SC2
A remake of the battleships map from WC3. The map shares the same play style as the original and will have updated graphics, models, and UI making a great game even more enjoyable.
I intend to have a tiered weapon system with all shops from the original map placed into dialogs. The trade system will return and will need a lot of balancing so that it is beneficial but not necessary.
A terrain set that changes throughout the progress of the game, or multiple themed sets. The idea is that as the game progresses, so does the technology of the empire (as the players are able to purchase more advanced ships and weapons). If the doodads around the base changed slowly throughout the course of the game this would give a unique feel to the game. If this is not possible I will look into having multiple tilesets (probably 3) with different themes.
I want to develop a method of shallow water for the main harbour as SC2 does not have this naturally (I have an idea of how to do this).
Credit for boat models goes to Zarrak and Zaysite. Thanks for pulling these from WoW guys, still looking for more models though.
DAMN i actually tried remaking battleships like a long ass time ago (it was 6 years ago) and it was gonna be called Spaceships you know cuz its starcraft and its in space, anyway you beat me to it. i couldnt make my map the editor is too hard i got stuck on how to make the item weapon stack.
Thanks a lot for bringing this map to SC2, looks really good. I have just a two things i don't really like. I loved the weapon upgrade system in the WC3 maps, so that when you buy 2 identical wepaons, they go together and then you can upgrade them with other weapons to better things. Right now you can only upgrade like 6 Items and that doesn't give that many opportunities. Second thing is the gambling. I think it's a too big randomness how the game will go, cause you can get like a Railgun for 500. I'm not the biggest fan of the gambling feature in general. But everything else is really nice, would love if you'd think about my suggestions :)
the beta looks good so far!
Looking forward to this map. I used to play that game all the time, still do from time to time. I even worked on a version for a bit in WC3.
