STAY ALIVE ===
Based on warcraft 3 map. Try to survive as long as you can.
Starting guide:
Go to a corner wall yourself off, than build research lab and research life regen and armor.
You can find more detail guide in the game by pressing F12.
Old version played by Philippwofl:
More information in the game, just press f12 in the game.
(if you want to use up this map, than plz contact with me.)
Yeah this recent version is entirely too difficult for single player. One must first spend all money (from wave advances) on upgrading walls or you're dead.
The mobs start to have 50+ armor in relatively early waves... when towers would cost upwards of 2k to upgrade, including the damage aura, before they even start doing more than 1 damage to them.
Armor values overall should be nerfed, damage of the first 50 waves should be nerfed hard, or the armor/damage upgrades for towers buffed significantly.
Really enjoy the game, just never feel like I can get into full swing of things, since I'm walled to a small corner immediately and always behind on upgrades, starved of cash.
Very interesting and funny map. I managed to get around wave 90 in the 4.1 version. Now i can barely get to wave 50. There's a huge gap between creeps and player's building/upgrades, expecially in early game. Creeps are too strong and you must focus on your walls, leaving behind your damage. It works at the beginning, but you'll loose income due to lack of kills, until something break your walls.
It's probably intended for multi, imho 4-6 player can easily manage to wall the middle and use the entire map for income towers.
I suggest a little nerf to creeps in order to let this be more enojoyable in solo version.
hmm, I played this one a while back, but now I can't get going. With the scvs starting with 5 armor, I can't figure out how to kill one, let alone survive for 15 seconds. 6 turrets with 2 weapon upgrades from the start can't get one scv below half health before dying.
4.3 is out and now boss is much weaker also there are some other stuff too.)
ddonq:
yeah Ultralisk might needs weakening. (its better to make the map first hard, than weaken...)
Walling in the middle is like a exploit, gives too much power to the player, It ruins the income system.
its not about win, there is infinity wave-s, its about how much waves can you survive. This way you can compote who can survive more wave, Later when the map gets its final, I will start making a top list here, that who reached better waves. (I also will reset the scores when the map gets final...)
I hope I can do that under the last phase of beta and than I can really start working on my planned map...
BenDoverTW:
yeah, I know that exploit. I thought its pretty cool, I always had headache, when I couldnt build somewhere in w3 cause the creeps. I think I know how to fix it, but I think I wont fix it.D
Ganty, BenDoverTW:
its working, if I am right. The game is bugy and its not showing the correct armor, try clicking on the turret than on the wall. I will look into that why is that happening...
YEah I noticed the same problem with the walls. Managed to get to about 300 kills wave 40 but my walls just couldn't keep up. :)
the armor upgrade doesnt work for walls if you upgrade them to anything other than advanced towers, dont know if its intended or not...
Fun map, took me a few tries to figure out that you NEED to upgrade ASAP. :)
I can't get past the wave 23 or whatever ultra boss though. :(
Also, I don't know if this is a bug or not, but if you try to build where the enemies are they will move out of your way. This means that you can stop them from hitting your towers just by pretending to build walls next to your turrets. Not so useful late game but early game it can be exploited.
4.2 is out.D
I did lots of new stuff.
But I didnt have time to properly test the game on long run, it might needs some weakening.D
Also I think there is noway now to wall in the middle, even with more than 1 player. (it might be possible with 10-12 player...)
@culpficiton: I started with a wall across the top 3rd of the map upgrading armor/life/regen of walls. Then later when I had money coming in, i ventured out and very carefully built the wall extension down the left side.
Roffle: how did you manage to initially build that wall line so long?
There aren't enough resources / time in the beginning to do it. And once money starts rolling in, mobs are roaming the map and chase my probe all around, making it impossible to build a giant containing wall like that.
yeah that is fixed.
Not sure if its already fixed - played this map some versions ago. I upgradet the weapon upgrade of my towers like crazy and came to the point that the dmg NEGATES. They had like -3491834891389491349 damage.
hmm I gona rework damage for next version.
next version will have lots of new stuff, i am almost finished with it, but I dont know how much time will I have at this weekend to do the rest.
Screenshot of level 94.
made it to level 94. They had +2300 damage buff. Even with armor, life, and life regen at high level (the next upgrades were 160k for each) they ate through them. Turrets were all splash upgraded to next level was 320k. Really tough.
Managed to barely survive until level 100 (screenshot here). They had +3850 damage here. I'm almost certain it's impossible to get much farther past this.
binsh:
lol, good one.
it will hard to figure out something to fix it.
however when you reach 500 creep it starts removing random units to counter lag. That would fix it if "random units" would work correctly (its removing the unit from the most bottom units).
Hmmm.. I have stayed alive indefinitely by leaving two pylons in the middle. When main base got destroyed at about wave 80+, the pylons in the middle was standing strong surrounded by weak units :) the stronger ones could not attack it lol
there is no limit on lvls.D (lvl 120 will tell you that in next version.D)
and yeah that god dam blizzard set on limit on max hp (around 512k) with its latest patch and when you get over that limit there is chance that you get negative hp.
how did you reach lvl 105 btw? everybody is dieing around 60lvl.D
