I'm making a map right now, and I'm thinking of calling it "Battlefield," but if you guys (or girls) can think of anything better, I'd not only use the name, but you'd get credit! (big whoop, right?)

Here's some screen shots:

=Edit=
I took off the screen shots, and now I'm trying to use the spaces for my sig and avatar. Doesn't really matter anyways, this is my thread. And, it's not like anyone else posted anything. Geez, not even one reply.... :(

It's basically a fight between two armies, and people get to select a unit (which is a hero), to help in the fight. By that, you might be thinking DotA, but it's not really, since the map will focus on intense, quick fights. Both sides have artillery, and the artillery act like artillery. Meaning, one hit from the artillery and you'll be dead, or well near it. The foot soldiers used by the computer explode from one hit, and usually both sides get hit at the same time, resulting in a quick fight.

Sorry if the pictures don't work, I posted them as tgas because I don't know how to open them in something else (i'm such a noob when it comes to screen shots). If any of you know how I could get them into another format, then I could repost them, thus allowing you to see them.

Oh, and sorry for the double post.

Here, maybe these pictures are better.

In the first one, you can see two artillery shells hitting, and soldiers exploding.
In the second one, you can see how many troops meet each other in the middle, but knowing the artillery, they won't be there for long ;)

Heroes(or Officers) are as follows:

Flamethrower Soldier (thinking about changing it to something catchier)
Squad Leader
Tank
Mechanical Prototype
Commando
Biological Weapon

Both sides (the Federation and the Confederation) will have the same exact Flamethrower Soldier and Squad Leader, but there will be a different tank for each side, and different Mechanical Prototype (combat mech), and biological weapon. I'm thinking of making the Commando unique to the Federation, and will give the Confederation a special vehicle. I might call it the "Enforcer", and yes, I know, "real creative." You'll be able to hire marines to use for yourself, and can buy mines, combat armor, and weapon enhancers.

True to their nature, Tanks will have siege damage (instead of hero) and will have lots of Hp and armor. To offset thier high capabilites, they will have fortified armor (they take alot of damage from artilery), slow rate of fire, slow movement, and perhaps low mana for abilites.

Some Heroes (officers) can only be picked once, such as the mechanical prototypes, tanks, and maybe biological weapons. But heroes such as the flamethrower soldier, squad leader and commando will be able to be selected by as many players as they want. Perhaps in some games a whole side will have nothing but squad leaders as the heroes.

I'd really appreciate it if I could get some feedback, any suggestions or anything. Thankyou.
