Pass Defense (Singleplayer Mode)
This is the SINGLEPLAYER version of the map!
The zerg are coming, and you are the regional brigade's colonel in charge of defending your mountain pass. You will receive periodic reinforcements to build up your forces. Destroy the hive to complete the mission. However, do keep in mind that scouts report zergs starting to flank from behind... Your forces are comprised of siege tanks, marines, reapers, and medivacs. Siege tanks are in limited numbers, and periodically arrive from command HQ. Your barracks and starport also periodically generate troops. Your starport is also capable of calling in battlecruiser and banshees at a premium. Enemy reinforcements are received through a nydus network. Ultralisk caverns, infestation pits, and spawning pools also contribute to the flow of the enemy.

Posted May 5, 2010Man I have no Idea how to play this map. I gave up its way too hard Its really put together well but its too fast paced there are to many units going too fast. Can you make it slowly at first then walk people through what to do then start speeding up? and Make cretin units not available until you do the tutorial or you can maybe skip it with a cretin action once you understand how to play.

Posted May 5, 2010You may want to consider giving back the auto turrets damage because it is the main anti air and with 1 armor on overseers it is next to impossible to kill them. It leave about 50 flying around the base. Also making the infested Terran a low priority would be nice so the tanks don't spend all there time attacking them when there is no need. So far doing very well.

Posted May 5, 2010I hope this help out but I just beat the game in the time it takes the ghost to lvl up to cloack > kill around 3-5 spores and then the hive.
The rear attack wasn't even on when I did it. Hope you can figure out a way to take that chance out ^^

Posted May 5, 2010Released new update.
It feels a bit hard now, especially with the speedlings. I might make speedlings exclusive to the front. I somehow got overrun with 4 tanks, a bunker, and a cruiser guarding the rear. Guess I was too slow with the nydus.
Localization seems so complicated :(

Posted May 5, 2010The starports show a MEDIVAC icon, but produce BATTLE CRUISERS, took me quite a while to realise this (enGB client, also no localization at all ;o)

Posted May 5, 2010fun level
1st time I got overrun by the rear attacks On my 2nd try I managed to defend both sides forever if needed; I destroyed the spore colonies at the beginning of their base, loaded 2 medivacs with a bunch of Marines and dropped them without trouble at the end of their base and they destroyed everythng
Suggestions: Add a Zerg kill counter Add more spore colonies at the edge of the map

Posted May 4, 2010OK so i realized after i posted i played an earlier version so i figured i give the most recent one a try v.57c. Vast improvement over the prior version i played. Love the attack from behind. Even like that its doesn't stop. (yes the worms no longer produce units when they are destroyed but the wave of units that spawn at the end of the road never stops) It forces you to dedicate units to hold them at bay, would like that the continual spawn from the rear be moved further down though or minerals further up to allow scvs to harvest better, but i would keep the rear attack the way it is; nonstop. Just enough tanks up front to support defense, only lost one. Like the addition of mutas, and the scout report.
Map still boils down to either nuking your way through or waiting to mass enough marines to make a push. And if you can survive the surprise rear attack your really at no risk of losing.
A few suggestions, would be to add a hatchery that evolves to lair -> hive over time with scout report warnings of when it starts evolving and with each evolution have the wave it produces become stronger. Forcing the player to try pushing sooner. Also having a Enemy hero to protect the hatchery that goes on the offense when the hatchery is fully upgraded would be cool. Adding a geyser so that more gas can be harvested would be nice as well as the ability to build the higher tech units in the barracks. More detectors that patrol to help hinder ghost movement would also be nice.
Just some ideas, really enjoy the map thx wonton

Posted May 4, 2010Thought it was a bit to easy, just saved up my units till later in the game, placed tanks up front for defense to hold everything off eventually had enough rines and reapers to move one group at a time and mow the hole right side down, took the left side with ghost and nukes. Beat it first try. It was fun but increasing difficulty would be better. Maybe more diversity in waves, have a wave of just a ton of zergling, maybe a wave of mutas where tanks would be useless (they were pretty much all i needed for d). Another idea would be to expand the map and have another line of attack from below or maybe from all four sides. Overall though, great job, enjoyed the map.

Posted May 4, 2010Rear flank continues to spawn even after worms are killed.
The change to Chen so he doesn't start will all his abilities is interesting, not having auto turrets to protect your wall at the start certainly makes it harder.

Posted May 4, 2010At first this seems really impossible but then I placed my tanks and reapers properly so I could hold them off. I lost the supply depot after a while but even then I held my ground. Marines make this really easy with their range, and even ultras were just getting mowed down rather easily. I always died when they flanked because I had everything up front so thats almost like a slowpoke event if you take too long though I'm sure its survivable too.
I won just by making nukes and having my ghost hero stay in cloak and hug the left side where no overseers can see me and just killed towers and nuked my way to the hive and shot him to death. I'm not sure if you want this to be more of a push style where you keep holding them back or just to hold the line and eventually win with nukes.
The first time the big wave came was really intimidating which was also fun.
Like other people have said, there's not much action to do besides moving units especially with the limited resources. You probably will already do this but having something like saying "Reinforcements have arrived" would be nice.
Definitely a fun map though. Keep up the good work!

Posted May 3, 2010@onekrana Bug and annoyance has been addressed in .55b
Flank attack will be much easier once I sit down and work out the variables for nyduswormdeath trigger.
The planned section's been underneath the video for a while but I guess the video was too prominent and overshadowed the section.
So to answer your question, yes, I have "add hero ability" on my planned list.
