My new map

Haven't thought of a name yet but it seems like such a good idea.

You get a ship and you can buy components for it like lasers, machineguns, missiles, fighters, etc. so you can ALMOST FULLY customize your ship for combat. It will play out like AOS/DOTA. As for your hero, it will be the captain of the ship that can't move (since he's on the ship!) but can only learn abilities to increase combat effectiveness of the ship. Here's a list of stuff I already got.

Terrain - 90% done
Units - 60% done
Triggers - 35% done

List of components:

Short range:
Topside Vulcan Gun
Underside Vulcan Gun
Short-Range Missile Rack
Laser Cannon
Plasma Bombing Bays
Streak Short-Range Missile Rack
Flak Cannon
Prism Cannon
Flamethrower

Medium Range:
Extended-Range Laser
Large Laser
Particle Projectile Cannon
Proton Torpedoes
Particle Beam (30% chance to take off 25% HP)

Long Range:
Long-Range Missile Rack
Extended-Range Large Laser
Extended-Range Particle Projectile Cannon
Sprocket Launcher
Railgun

Misc:
Internal Repair System
Thrusters
Fighter Bays (required to build fighters)
ECM

Fighters:
Sky Grasper (Vulcan Gun, Proton Torpedoes)
Seraphim (Streak SRM Rack)
Centurion (Prism Cannon)

It will also have custom buttons for each weapon. I'm gonna try to get a working public beta as soon as I can. in the mean time, someone give me some feedback so I can improve it. :mtk:

how did u place the captain above the ship =?

its a unit placed above an other unit right =?

why dont u call the map; Water World

i know its from a movie, but its a cool name =D

Water World? Oh. Uh, I think you mistake it for "boats". I mean ships that are like "spaceships". =)

And the captain is just an invisible air unit thats invunerable. He dies when the ship dies.

That sounds really good

You going to use custom skins/models cos the map will be kinda wierd withoutn them, also if you do use skins wont that make the map really big?

so whats it gonna be convincing gamplay? or Downloadability?

hmmm yeah, but it does sound like a great map :D

Is it at all like Gunship?

Yo dude i would be VWRY GLAD to help you with that game could be names Space Warz and so u dun have to put the ship invurnable ans stuff just add a ability to the ship make it like zepelin load and unloads thingy and are there flying thingy ( UFO's(:gsmile: so pls let me help you

dont make it too typical AoS style that s all i have to say.

AoS means hero based with 3rd party units town vs town scenario... not a DOTA ripoff.

I've been thinking of making the units that spawn out of the buildings to move through different roads, like they come across a fork in the road and the group either goes left or right. That way, they're less predictable and can overpower a team if theyre not paying attention.

Also thinking about "manual firing weapons". You have to type in something like "-fire nuke" to fire a nuke. =D Same thing with special missiles, land mines, etc. I think I also managed to balance out the weapons I put in already. Like if you just buy a bunch of long range missiles and railguns, you could easily be killed with short range weapons and fighters, or you can buy some extra thrusters to stay at long range. As for the custom models and skins, I would wanna see how popular the map gets before I devote time to it.

Anyways, thanks for your feedback. I'l try to get a working beta here ASAP. :ggani:
