Arathi Basin/Strands of the Ancients
With 10 heroes, supporting up to 12 players, Arathi Basin/Strands of the Ancients is a remake of the battlegrounds from WOW.
- Third person mode and default game camera modes supported
- Arathi Basin is a battle for control points
- Strands of the Ancients is a 2 round hero siege arena
- Add bots by adding AI players!
- Unique wow-like targetting and hotkey system (with fully functional default sc2 targetting as well)
- Questing content (and raiding content) available for testing to the winning players.
Dude this is awesome, I would love an Alterac Valley though, and I would help you with that.
I may be revisiting this map toward the beginning of september idk.
Strands of the Ancients is now open for testing! I got the bots ai hooked up, siege arena combat working, a few teleporters. Strands of the Ancients is a 2 round match where the teams take turns on offense or defense. Whichever team can capture the titan relic in the least amount of time wins.
Players can now tab target and use 1-7 hotkeys just like wow. Several optional quest zones with loot, monsters, and bosses has been implemented and is available to winning players AFTER the game ends. Just click return to game instead of score screen when you win a match. Don't worry folk, this is still a very compact map, 128x128. The main focus of this map will always be pvp. The quest zone is just an area for people to explore after they win the match. The Questing areas exists for testing purposes (and because it shows off a few interesting ideas). I'll be trying to tune the questing content and find cheat proof save/load triggers, so that someday we can build a hero in an RPG like environment, then bring it to Arathi Basin.
ill look into adding more camera zoom levels. I should be able to do that in the data editor fairly easily.
I played it with some bots, it was good, but it would be great if we could get it to work as a first-person one, it was a little confusing as third-person
That looks awesome, if you want to get some people together to play it and get some popularity I'm in!
anyone know how to post more than 2 projects on sc2mapster? can't seem to post more than 2 projects at a time
