This map is still work in progress, any suggestions,
ideas or bug-reports are welcome.
One more suggestion. Several other people and I use the hot-keys alot. Blink and nuke are right next to each other. I hate wasting nukes by accident.
i think offensive nuke is fine. If they know how to counter and not have to nuke...nuff said
Civies, from what I've seen, are just a weakness to the team using it early in the game. To me its a counter balance late in the game against decay with the expensive units + cannon fodder to keep units back away from the base.
One thing i would like to see. People always talking smack, but 1v1 isn't the same game. Could you make it so 1v1 is 3 blobs for each side? I'm no map making pro so I don't know if this is possible. Addable computer AI's which are controllable? voting poll in the beginning?
offensive use of nukes is working as intended currently. it is one way to force the other team to user their nuke defensively
You may want to prevent people from nuking the other team's base (clearing out defending units.) It's kind of cheap to use the nuke offensively, and I presume that's not what it was designed for. A simple "spawning unit given order" -> "if player's on west and targetloc near east CC" -> "order unit to stop" would work.
v5 with defensive units, heros and short time boosts is on the way :)
No bugs that I can find at the moment. Still testing the swarm gaurdian. I'd just work on more units and change the terrain. Or add like a second bunker or something.
no more feedback? map perfect?

I guess the problem is, it is not idiot proof. I'm using it only if my team has an advantage and there is no risk in losing because of 75 kills or a round with 2/3 units. the next round my income is slightly higher and everything is fine.
But remove it because there are stupid people massing them and causing a loss doesn't sound good. Used correctly it is a pretty strong unit. If somebody is able to spam them so long to become a 'hero' something went terribly wrong on the other team.
Thanks for the feedback lordslumber!
We have discussed the civilians internally, and we are (at least we try) observing how people use it.
I mainly agree with your point of view. However, we will probably adjust or change them, not remove.
Fun map. I do have one critique as of late. I find most games now ruined (in my opinion) by at least one person massing civilians (i think that's what they're called anyway. The unit that gives high income but doesn't fight and walks to its death). It feeds the other team letting them hit their damage bonuses quicker which effectively makes teammates who aren't feeding the other team weaker due to their relatively lesser income. So the person who fed the other team becomes the "hero" of the game by ruining the balance for everyone else in the game, assuming his increased income leads to a win. Or if he keeps spamming civilians too long, I've seen this one quite a few times, we lose the game because he isn't contributing and the team gets overwhelmed by the double handicap he is applying to the team (both 1 player not fighting, and enemy team damage% boosted). I think the map would be better off having this unit removed entirely. But at least reduce how effective it is at unbalancing the playing field. I've seen games where someone has more than double the income of the rest of the team members due to these civilians. And I've seen games where the other team will gain 20% or more damage from kills while one player just continues to feed them civilians. If there needs to be a way to rapidly increase income, somehow it should be done without damaging the rest of the team.
bug fixed. new big version with new feature soon
yes its a simple disabled trigger :( I'm really sorry I've missed this. -vitkar didn't notice this either in his testgame after publishing.
It is going to be fixed at 23-.59 CEST today
Hello,
first of all: Great Map!!! Second: You really gotta fix something! Bu not because of a bug but because of annoying and stupid people.
In every second or third game there's always a funny idiot who uses his nuclear strike on the choosers and kill them and destroys the game this way. So please make the choosers invulnerable, then the idiots would just waste their nuke and the game would be perfect :)
Thank You!
I haven't seen any other versions of Income Wars. I scrolled down at least 20 pages. I had seen a few weeks ago that there were several different versions out there. They were just hacked versions. But apparently they have 0 popularity right now.... And I'm sure that most of those were from when my upload was broken.
not good :(
going to check it on sunday night
@NJEE15 :
Is it the latest version version? (4.15)
I'm not at home for a few days and bone is gone too over the weekend. So if he screwed up again, it will stay that way for EU until he gets back.
@ bloodytosser & maul:
If you read this and 4.15 has this bug again, please revert to 4.14 (or you know how to fix it, or ask me, because I am 99.9% sure what is causing the bug if it's 4.15)
Hey man really love the map, play it all the time.
One problem though, people are starting to nuke the choosers, maybe you could give them unlimited hp or something?

@andcap: the good thing with the popularity system is, it is going to fall because it's bugged. the bad thing is, it's going to damage the reputation of iw
:(
try reporting it as inappropriate stolen map
if somebody please send me a list with every income wars on the NA server which is clearly just a stolen version. not any own creations with just a stolen name. I need map name+uploader name. I'm going test it and send a copyright email
The income wars (official) with the wrong category/mode got pushed to the top. You have to go a few pages down to get the match with the fixed teams. Look for Name: Income Wars (Official) | Category: Income Wars | Mode: Income Wars
