I think that a map should be in-depth and as complex as the player wants to go. I`ll use MicrosoftXP's Rival Nations as an example. In this map u control a hero and are on 1 of 3 teams. You get gold for killing enemy units and heroes. You can either: A) go the simple, non-complex route and just spend your money on stuff for your hero. B) Get a little more complex, worry about your army, spend money on upgrades for you team's units, spend money on special units for your team to get. C) Most Complex, Get more heroes, this means you have to worry about all your heros, how many Ankhs they have, how much health they have AND worry about the state of your teams army. This means mad micro. Basically, this map gives you the option to play as in-depth as you want. The best idea is to make your map complex but don't force the player to play it "complex", especially if it's their first time playing it. |

Curses. Just tested it and found a plethora of little bugs.. like.. no missle art for "KERO Supercharge" or... "Why is the railgunner's blast 1-shotting everything?" |

Here is another stupid noob story from a beta test of Hive's Nexus... Noob: You need to change the camera angle. Hive: oh? Why? Noob: It suxorz Hive: Looks fine to us, what exactly is wrong with it Noob: Its not like all the other maps Hive: Yea you can actualy see stuff this way instead of scrolling to see what your attacking Noob: Put a option to change it Hive: We might do that if enough ppl say something about it Few min latter.. Noob: Did you change it? Hive: change what? Noob: The camera Hive: We cant change that ingame Noob: You are gay Hive: ? wtf are talking about? Noob: Change the camera Hive: We cant change the damn triggers while in the middle of playing Noob proceeds to spam things best not repeated here. Then he decides that since he is on our team he will try to ruin the game for us. The sob found about 4 exploits we missed before he managed to kill the king and end the game for us. Cant remember his name or we would thank him for being our most valued beta tester yet. Would have been a long time b4 we disovered some of those exploits. :bgrun: Fyi: We have no current plans to change our camera angle or add a option to do so. :gsmile: |

Heheh... I too was flamed about my camera angle, it was in third person, and everyone hates it :( |

Thats because the interferance takes up so damn much place. The more complex the better. |

I think you map is perfect for people of even average intelligence. The smarter people will get it and probably like it a lot more than people who need to struggle to learn it. I mean I beat you the first time I played, BTW I was Helgore. :ggani: |
| 08-19-2003, 09:15 PM | #54 |
Helgore! Bah, you didn't beat me! I figured everyone would be running around yelling 'wtf is this 'rifle infantraryty'? Thus, no military. You didn't beat me! ... I surrendered to you.. Sniff. |
| 08-19-2003, 10:45 PM | #55 |
Beat at your own game. Now thats ashame. |

I like complex to very complex, but i hate it how for some idiotic reason, people just can't figure out how to play... i mena it takes me 5 minutesto pick up any map no matter how complex, when i played lands of fatee for hte first time, it was so easy, i read the quests and asked 1 or 2 questions and now i love it. Then their other people in the gmae asking how they spawn a peasent... or with lord of the rings i don't get what is so hard about that, it's like melee but instead you got more heros, artifacts and you build more castles for units instead of building them... it's easy to learn, maybe harder to master, but still some people think sending all their guys aginst an army 3 times their size is intelligent. |

Bah, it just proves it isn't rigged Pesmerga! Or at least that's how I keep my confidence up. Technically I've never gotten the defeat message due to another player... Hehe. |
| 08-20-2003, 03:46 AM | #58 |
How dare you use militias to attack me!!! BTW: This game is quite complicated, but it isn't too complicated. It really needs a lot of strategy to beat people at this game..... |
| 08-20-2003, 08:23 PM | #59 |
Hrm.. I don't remember.. me killing you with militia.. Wasn't it CMU's or something? And I only killed a sign... mwahaa. |
| 08-20-2003, 08:57 PM | #60 |
I KNOW, MY PRECIOUS SIGN! THAT SIGN WAS A LANDMARK :D |
