[New Map] Memory Craft...new concept

Tired of Aeon, Tower Defense, Melee, Team Survival, RPG?

Well, this is a new multiplayer map based on a original concept.
You have a board filled with boxes... under every box there are a unit.
Your goal it's to find 2 equal units. If you do correctly you receive this unit.

When the board it's clear... every team fight others with units achieved...

I'm inspired from Mike Bongiorno (american guy that presents quiz shows here in Italy :D ).

Please give a eye..

I'm tired of map clones...and you?

Interesting concept. But it sounds too random for continual playing. On the other hand, it also need strategy, so it sounds good. It all depends on if you make the map well.

I loved Memory when I was a little kid... You get props for the idea whether or not it turns out to be fun to play! (haven't tried the map yet)

Ok..more details about map here: (schematic like every other triggermans )

- Voting system for board size;
- Board dynamically created based on size and centred on the field;
- Every stuff like heroes and portals are created dynamically around the board, the camera adapt distance to cover entire board size;
- Leaderboard for team score and multiboard for every player score;
- Dynamic sound routine without using sound array(simulate Yes1 unit's sound like clicking with mouse)...(works 80%);
- Every unit have a "quantity value"...every time a player make a mistake, quantity lose 1 point but never under 1, this it's an advantage for fast players.
- When 2 units match, player get X units... X = (quantity1+quantity2) / 2;
- Every player have a racial hero that gain experience from units earned;
- There are certains boxs that give special bonuses, like abilities, additional experience, items.
- I don't remember all 8))

Enjoy

ROFL THIS IS AWESOME

Great to see something else, and to have it to play once in a while :)

This is a keeper!

Didn't see any bugs, just that people might find it pretty tiresome in the length as you have to wait for the others to choose :) And on a big size (largest, think it's 16x16) it will take SOME time to find 2 alike :P lol

Either way:

:D :D :D :D :D 5 orcs up :)

And a foottie

:foot:

Oh thank you.

The map it's heavy bug tested, and result it's here.

For impatience...while you wait for your turn, you can

1. Taunt your opponent :D
2. If current player it's an ally then suggest where click. More units more win %.Don't take all units for you

Cool map. Just 1 Bug: When the currently active Player leaves, the game ends.

A little question.

In the map every box on the board display HP... it's possible to cancel this feature?

Thanks.

Yes...sort of, just give the boxes 9999999 hp, this will make it so that no hp is shown at all, as there are too many numbers.

Only 4 comments? :(

@zachary: high values make lag on bnet and don't solve my problem : green bars when pressing ALT appear also if i set 99999xxxx hitpoints.

maybe you could try making them invunerable. don't know might work. if not then there isn't a way.

Boxes are already invulnerable, but this don't help :( .

I don't think it's impossible (i hope)

I haven't played it yet, but another good way you could do it, maybe add to this or create another game, is that it is a race. You have X amount of players each with their own board, you can only see your board. The boards could be the exact same for each player. But whoever finishes first obviously gets all their units, and you could dynamically make teams after that and pair people up and battle. Just an idea I thought up while reading your map.

Uhmmm...isn't a bad idea.

I can make a new version of my map.

Features:

- 4 Boards, one for every team.
- Every team play asyncron, the turns cycle in players of same team.
- When a team finish all boxes, battle start with units earned.
- new game mode: Time Attack: 10 minutes for every team to gain units, when timer end battle start. If a team finish own board, a new one it's created.

I would appreciate suggestions and/or comments on this ideas.

PS: Try standard map first please
