All right! Time for my first update! This should make the gameplay move at a faster pace as well as some minor fixes and tweaks. Heres the list of changes... Bug fixes - EMP Overload removed from M-1 Support Cruiser (Temperary) New Additions - Black Hole created after the Sun is destroyed, slows down time around it depending on how far away from it. - Build and reasearch times on all units, buildings and upgrades have been reduced to speed up gameplay. - Movement speed increased on some units. And the map of course... http://members.shaw.ca/jeff40k/SpaceBattleBetav08P.w3x I'll need more feedback before I can work on unit balance. Also I'm open to any ideas for the map, mostly on unit names and new ability ideas. Thanks and enjoy! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello all, well this is a map im working on. Basically its melee in space. You start out with a small fleet and a Colony Ship. You use the colony ship to make your homeworld. Then you start expanding and making a fleet. There are many nifty abilities, most units have shields and some have photon torpedoes! Also at the startagy center you can reseach super abilities such as a Warp Missile Strike and even Nova Bombs! And yes they do blow up the Sun, and basically kills everything. Very fun but it can be stopped. I have used some models and very familiar sounds in my map. So heres the link, Enjoy! (On a side note this isnt single player, the comps dont do anything so play with some pals) http://members.shaw.ca/jeff40k/SpaceBattleBetav07P.w3x Feedback I would like to have is on game balance, unit names (they're corny i know o_O ), and any idea for gameplay and possibly units/abilities. For balance please be detailed in why you think whatever is unbalanced and possibly send a replay (make sure to have latest patch). Thank you for your time! Jeff40K |

you know what, i actually downloaded this because i was curious about seing a space wc3 game. Although it has some minor bugs like when u detonate ur ship u see a dirt terrain, it looks pretty good and very orignal. I like the start cinematic, great use of wisps and special effects. only problem is, that its a bit slow. This could turn into a long running campaign. Ive never seen that before. Good luck. |

Ah lol, I missed that bug, will sure fix it for next version (which adds the ability to nuke the sun 10 times in under a minute to make it go super nova, which now creates a black hole that slows things down depending how close they are to it (still needs work)) Just wanna know what you mean by "slow", is it the gameplay or the research times? And also what do you suggest i change to fix it? Thanks PS. I'll get the newer version up as soon as I get the Black Hole working and some more feedback! |

It was the speed of the units and the upgrade times. It took me about 2 and a half minutes just to get to my cluster mine right when the map started. I really liked the way you used your special effects, the stars and wisps looked good. It's not really "slow", I just usually like the games I play on B Net to go by a bit faster. You could speed it up by slightly increasing, movement speeds, build times |
