The Final Frontier
This page wont be updated anymore!!!
My map's discussion is now hosted at here: http://www.sc2goa.com
The Final Frontier is a complex space strategy map.
Based on: http://www.war-facts.com
Published on EU and NA server. (If you want to publish it on other server, than contact with me)
My EU id: Goa.558
EU channel: final frontier (all low cases)
Fun fact, the map has 13700 line code, however I dont use galaxy.
Features:
-A completely open technology research system, with millions of combinations and a unique result every time.
-Map generator with randomly generated planets and stars based on H-R diagram. With this you will never play on the same map.
-Customizable space ships with 8 type of hull, weapons, drives, hull plating and shield.
-Time based alliance system, where both side have to agree in a pact.
-Focusable colonies on economy, production, research or mining.
-Unique ship building, where production time per ship is less if you build more ship. Also ships quality counts in the production time too.
-8 type of building for your colonies.
-3 custom resources, which you can only spend on other colonies, if you transport it with a transport ship.
Version 2.0 in the work!!!
Far future plan:
The Final Frontier MMORPRTS (REAL TIME)
http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/2046737505 if they implement what I suggested there with "Goa" name!
-Some of the stuff made in 2.0 will make me easier to make the map into a mmorprts.
New video about the map's guide system:
(videos made on low quality starcraft 2 settings, but the videos still looks nice, if you choose high quality and full screen as they are well encoded)
Old video about research and ship designing:
Very old video about colony management, shipyard and map generator:
map on sc2ranks.com (its rarely updated and inaccurate)

Any idea is welcomed.
I am almost finished with the basic stuffs, I will make a new video in 1-2 days.
cant wait till beta!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Soon I finish the main stuffs on the map, so lots of beta testing can begun.
But I wont publish the map until patch 1.2 + 1-2 week, as I want use some of the stuff from the patch, like protected bank files for ranking system and ability to type into a dialog so you could name your ships.D Until that I can balance the map and make the map more fancy (by adding dialog custom backgrounds, custom sounds and other stuffs).
new image added about ship designing.
Its about half done. Also all starting ship blueprints/parts are a bit randomly generated and its different for every player.
XD lol
I managed to free up about 1/3 of the trigger place, so I think I will able to finish the map as I wanted.D
I managed to reach the trigger limit :D : http://forums.sc2mapster.com/development/triggers/12500-how-can-i-lower-the-trigger-size/
so its gona be harder to work on the map now and most likely I will have to spend some time on lowering the trigger size:(
looks so awesome but can you plz let us do beta testing on it? :I
wow, I am brilliant, I am making my own trigger based xp system as the data editor editor blizz xp system sucks (cant be controlled by triggers nicely).
its far from done.
btw I gave up doing 3d fleets, ships with different height doesnt look so good as I thought...
So I think I will go for the basic concept, having fleet which will be able to lvl up.
Almost done
:( im sad we cant do beta testing on this map
I finished the buildings page, I uploaded a image about it.D
Goa.558 (EU)
add me on EU server. I am doing test run at almost every day at night.
Can you at least allow us to do beta testing on this?
managed to finish transport ship and conquering, now you can load it with resources and transport them into another planet. Also fixed many bug and add win condition (have 90% of the total universe pop). So now the game is playable in multi. You can test it in private game with me on the EU server.
no, its not canceled. I didnt have time in the last weeks to make any progress on the map, But in the following days I will have lots of time to work on it. I hope I can finish it for the sept 11 blizzard map contest.
Also, I already multi tested current version on eu bnet in private game.
canceled? WHY? sad day if true
was this canceled?
