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 12, 2010It seems better now. Also I just noticed that the mission objectives do not properly update for killing the hive or going to the supply depot.
In addition to fixing them I recommend adding an additional objective to take the supplies to the broken battle cruiser after you've picked them up.
P.S. I was about to go watch some anime but I tested your map instead because you called me a professional. I learned that flattery works on me today :o

Posted May 12, 2010It would be very hard to instantly cause defeat once someone is at the point in the game that they have killed the hive. I would say a bunch of queens and ultralisks for units since it looks really menacing but is fairly slow to deal damage due to queens being a bit on the slower side and ultras needing to be in melee.
Really though anything but a bazillion air units would probably work.
I only had 1 :(

Since you're pretty much a veteran of this map, what is the extreme upper limit to the volume of enemy spawns at the end? I didn't want to make a massive wave that would cause defeat at the last moment.
EDIT: I ate 2 cupcakes today.

Posted May 12, 2010Interesting ending, but it feels odd that you're panicking about being over run at a point in time that you had enough to push to the hive...
Maybe add a huge spawn wave shortly after the hives death to add a sense of urgency to the player to get the hell out of there?
I love the multi purpose drone btw awesome skill.
The timing for the hero's leveling feels perfect, he gets auto turret JUST as you need it to hold off the big push.

Posted May 11, 2010Eh just feels easy to me, if you keep your initial supply depot at start repaired, and keep an influx of scvs working then contain the southern spawns asap to point they aren't getting any kills.
Then its just the waiting game of massing BC's and going north xD
I've had alot of fun on it mind, just sayin, my 2nd time playing it i didn't lose any units lol Course the cloaking change made it so i can't do that anymore >.> but psh.

Posted May 11, 2010Unfortunately I lost all my SCVs and had less then 50 minerals :/
Also the way points for the marines dropped of at the barracks/starport does not work. (Guess since they are not built but spawned). So had to remember to pick them up continuously through the game.

Posted May 11, 2010I just tested v7, difficulty seems fine to me.
After i control the back of my base and keep the spawns on a leash, I resume mining, then build mass BC and move out to win with the rest of my army. I didn't find where to build those banshees you're talking about though, so couldn't try them out.
P.S : In this version i got a new bug, occasionnaly, and not early in the map, i'd get a red message about "blabla Overflow", but it didn't have visible affect on the game.

Posted May 10, 20102 things: 1: its not that the game is too easy for me its hard, I put about 14 siege tanks at entrance w full bunkers to hold the line and send ghost up the left and thats the only way I can beat it. so its kind of easy but only if you pull something cheap like that. 2: the art looks good but the marine looks kinda like a Krogan (mass effect)

Posted May 10, 2010Relatively large update released.
Note from swordmas: "Please give feedback on that little sketch"
Some spawning things are still not working right. Difficulty was supposed to be much harder. Will take a look at the massive wall of triggers later.

Posted May 7, 2010Nice map :) A bit too easy tho. Steamrolling the Zerg with BC and conscripts. It was easy with Marines and ghost before now you can with with under 10 lost units. But ckeep up the good work :D

Posted May 7, 2010I dont know if you want to change this or not, but the only way (I know of to win) is to send your ghost up the left while cloaked cause he can out range spore detection and just kill everything while invis (overseers dont go that far to the left either) as long as you stay to the left its no problem because he cant run out of cloaking (.9 drain 1.5 regen)

Posted May 7, 2010Dude, you gotta watch out of the random black holes in the center of the map, they'll getcha.
On a related note that I have no idea how I've forgotten to point out, SCVs have always had energy which I suspect should be shields.

Posted May 6, 2010(funny bug) try having a medvak patrol (from left to right over your base or from top to bottom when you've beat zerg, doesn't matter) they will keep speeding up and then glitch by kind of moving sideways like this \ / \ / \ / (lines are the medvak)
Did you/can you put a cap on acceleration?

Posted May 6, 2010Difficulty is now challenging which is good.
I'm still not sure if and how i can mine from the south after they start spawning but whatever.
Had a big problem with the medivac making stupid suicide voltige run. Like flying biiiigg circle very fast and usually end up going straight in a group of mutas and dieing. Strange and annoying.
Other than that, I'm gonna give it a 3rd try, and see if I can mine the south maybe with an advanced defense post after killing the nydus.
Edit: Still can't do it, but it's a good exercise of micro, you can't get lazy now. Ideas : Make upgrading from Eng Bay faster and cheaper? Add armory to upgrade tanks too? Also, it's pretty hard to get good anti-air, it seems to be lacking good options in this department.
The hero at the moment feels a bit useless, I wish his turrets were maybe a stronger tank, so I could use it to protect my supply maybe. Atm except nukes, which you can't really use early, if at all because of the price, he doesn't do that much. Definately a lot of options to make the hero more interesting and more key to survival.
