CaveCraft

It's good to be bad

CaveCraft is a totally new map, its far from playable. It's a remake of dungeon keeper inside warcraft. I could use some help making this map, anything you could add to the team would be great!

Here is what the map is all about:

-There will be mud blocks all over the map, which are impassable and cannot be destroyed by normal units. There can only be dug out my special "imps", which are your basic workers. You will build your base inside these mazes of blocks, and dig out special rooms to get place to build your buildings.

-You dont train units on the normal way. If you, for example, build a torture chamber, you will get a chance that a "dark mistress" will enter through your portal. The different units want different buildings, mixes can give even more units.

-You can attack the enemy by digging a path right onto his weak spots in base and charge in with all your units, with all different abilities and techniques. You win by destroying the enemy dungeon heart.

If you are interested in joining me on this map, pm me and we'll add msn and talk!

PLEASE KEEP THIS THREAD FREE FROM SPAM

Could be a fun game... but it will be totally hard to make it look good... but anywa good luck.. if u need some help.. PM me.. (dont tarrain help.. pritty bisy atm.)

man i loved dungon keeper but its going to be hard to get the same feeling form DK using trees. well it would still be fun if you can get the game play down. Good Luck:infth:

whyed u change it to trees?

just set the model to rocks...


Are you going to immitate DM AI?

The trees all over the map kinda sounds like chop chop mini of warcraft 2 how you had to chop a base. Sounds good ^_^

Ok thx alot for replies=)

I was gonna make it rocks, but after 3 hours of mixing with size of doodads..... welll=)

Ill try rocks.

And here's answer to questions:

Hunter0000 = I'm not going to make special DK AI so the computer digs into blocks, but i wont stop any of you of helping me do that=). But i'm gonna copy gameplay as much as i can, as you red in the post. Picking up units is not impossible, the hard thing will be to make units think and go to the places they want.... Well otherwise ill just make it like warcraft... Anybody wanna join the team?

Ok here comes the first screens. This is the "mud blocks" which will be almost everywhere on the map. The minimap also shows the basics of what the map will look like, 2 players on each island who are allied will fight for controll of the map...

This is mud blocks with reinforced mudblocks, which have much more hp, around:

.This looks like it could be a fun map.

I already joined the team peachrich, but i seem to get no replies when i send out PM's. (I did get the one you sent me though) So I will reply on your thread. Anways, just PM or e-mail me (I sent my email in a PM) with any work you want me to do.

Can we have some more pics.

I swear half the points you have earned are from asking people to post more pics of their maps.....

welcome to the team, can i ask what you joined as?
