Slow paced RTS game

If you don't have Starcraft forget this little mod. But if you happen to have starcraft 2 and like slow rts games then you should download Saron Plains.

I was looking so long for a slow paced rts game. Like command and conquer was in the beginning. But no slow paced rts game came out. Then I found the starcraft editor that says that you can make new games with it.

So Saron Plains was made exactly for this purpose, to have some good slow rts game experience once more. If you surf the net searching for slow rts games this will be just perfect for you.

I hope you like it. But if you search for slow rts games that are nearly nowhere to find, I think you will like this mod as much as I do.

Build some troops in the desert, relax, wait for the enemy and then... strike.

Command and Conquer was so cool in the beginning. Warcraft, honestly, I still play it today. And nowadays they speak of fast rts games as being competitive. Nonsense. A game is competetive if it is competitive, not if it is fast paced. Many people are like me and search for slow paced rts games. Where real time means real time and not 4 times as fast as real time. We want to have a chance to relax and get into the world of the game,but the pace stays fast game after game. Until now, because I have taken my time to program a slow paced rts game myself. This is a mod for Starcraft, and as I said if you do not have Starcraft 2 wings of liberty then it is not worth to buy it for this mod. But if you have it then you are very close to a really nice slow paced desert rts game. A real time strategy game as it should be. Just build some troops in the desert. Collect minerals or tiberium. And all this in a relaxing slow pace. Just real time. And yet I have taken my time to give it enough action. The enemy troops will come slowly and will first "siege" your base, but at some time they will enter your base and attack. It is at a very nice slow pace but it is not boring at all. I tell you if you are like me always like: why do they not make cool slow paced sci-fi battle real time strategy games anymore. Then Saron Place is the thing for you. I made it for myself and all who do not like this fast paced nonsense. And I really succeded. At least for myself, I love playing this. Just for things like that the collector collects the cristalls or tiberium outside the base, how long did I wait for this to happen again. Man I already thought about reinstlling Dune 2000. But now we have some desert we can go to again. And this all with the stunning Starcraft graphics. If you think nobody can make something out of Starcraft 2 that is slow paced enough, don't think so. I redesignd the gameplay completely. You will find what you are looking for, nice relaxing, oldschool. Real time strategy that is real time but yet tactical. While actually a fast pace will never make anything more tactical. I really hope that game companies will hear our call for slow paced real time strategy. And I am pretty shure that with Saron Plains I present a slow paced rts that shows that tactics and rts fun are not in the least a question of speed. To me this is so cool. While other people are still frustrated by fast,faster, the fastest I already build troops and keep a critical look to the map if my enemys forces would be able to destroy my base if they would attack in the next minutes. So definitely if you are like me very frustrated about the trend to fast paced rts games and find that even the classic serials like Command and Conquer are not fun at all anymore then it is time for Saron Plains slow paced rts. I very much hope that you have Starcraft 2 to try this mod. In my opinion this is definitely the best modern rts game there is. It is small, it does not have all to many units but there is one fantastic thing about it, it is slow paced. It is the rts game I dreamed about and hoped for for a long time. It was designed to be slow paced.

For the first time in a long time it matters again where on the map your troops are. For the first time in ages the battles take some time, and you can watch. And it is not like: Boom, Boom, over. This is so much fun for me. Really I am exited. Watching the battles this is so cool in itself. Planning on building some units. I really hope that also game companies get aware of my approch to real time strategy. I had to work hard to figure out how things can be made interesting while the game stays slow paced. I have really done some pioneer work for the genre here I think. Because it was not to easy. Just taking down the pace and make it slow paced is not making a good game. But as I said I really like Saron Plains.

Have fun. evader. Visit my homepage http://evader.bplaced.net

Yes.

I have put the changed mod online. Finaly. Really great. I hope you like it.

I have been working on some improvements to Saron Plains. I very much like it now. when i put it online I will post a comment above this one.

X-Com cool.

New version

Anti-tank rocket launcher guys cost 100 now. You can play Protoss. And I managed to fix that the units quobble or shake while trying to get past each other. That is very cool now. Hope you enjoy it. If you like it please comment. If you don't please don't comment. I can tell you I really like it, I have waitet so long to once more have some relaxed rts.

Even if you are one of the 27! guys who downloaded download again. It is so cool that the units dont shake anymore. Really. And I changed the lakes on the maps.

Edhriano let a friend download it for you and give it to you on an usb stick ;) if you would want to play.

I saw that some of your map projects sound interesting. I am only afraid that they are fast. I can't try them at the moment because my own computer is not fast enough for starcraft. I made this mod on another computer.

Thanks. Super interesting, the whole shields thing. I have no time to get back to such an issue in this game. The shields of the Terran units work. I dont need to see them. But off course it is interesting.

Great you played it and send a report. First let me say it is cool to see the game i worked on with a screenshot running on another computer. I like that.

Then, the revealer is not a bug, it is for that you dont see the enemy base. Had to work with 2 revealers to get this effect.

And the shield thing you mentioned, i have never heard about this. I have no idea what this is.

Dont worry the other maps are not part of the story it is the same story on all maps. The maps are only to give the chance to play on different maps. while the background story is revealed a bit by the girl that talks on the com screen.

Great, you played it. Thanks for commenting.

to everybody who has to slow connection download one of the maps Saron Plains 1-4. and then go to my homepage http://evader.esy.es and get the Modfile.

Ps. Sorry, I had to delete the old levels, So your only chance to play it if you can not download the mod is to ask a friend with a better connection to download it for you and give it to you on a data stick. But if you want to have some oldschool 90s gaming again you should do this.

Damn..

Great its online.

At first i thought you really mean that. I just wrote about the 100mb because i thought people would think it is a virus if they see that it is so big. Because map files are usually smaller. In fact i used some music and that is why the maps are so big. Later on i decided to let the music play only once and then only short parts but the complete music pieces are still inside the maps. That makes them so big.

regards.

I think it's working now. Download only the file Game, SpFinal.zip. it has 100mb.

Sorry the Modfile is missing. I will put it online the next days (my upload is not working).

Thanks for the reply I am trying to upload the file. Upload oes not work at the moment, but i contacted the Support.

Yes you really need this file than it will work, i think. But i did not know, i thought the file would be put into the map.

Thanks again. Just saw you are the guy with the map just above mine.
