My First Map: (8)System Wars

My First Map:

Made it all from scratch with the exception of the skins and models.

The map is separated into 9 areas. Ships have to use a system of wormholes to travel to different solar systems. After 10 minutes, merceneries will spawn at the center system and will wander around. They may come through wormholes and attack you. Alliances can be formed. Borg have been removed to lower map size. Conquer all nine systems to win.

Please tell me if you find any bugs or things that need to or should be changed

I like the art work you got there!

I found a few problems you may or maynot know about.

  1. When trying to build something that requires food it doesn't build. I tried building something that needed 1 food and I had 8 but it said i need more food.

  1. I see you want it to so you build on the planets so I have to say it allows me to build off of them and if I build on it, i can see part of the building. Wonder how your going to do that, I do not know, so I'll leave it to you.

But really the models look great with the planets and the moons and space ships. Looks like it will be a great map

I didn't like the worm hole system. Annoying, as I was unable to put ship over the top of it without them being sent across. It also generally didn't work; hard to use, and not that effective.

It also lagged massively after a while, probably due to memory leaks. I also ended up with rediculous amounts of money, with control of only one system. The mercanaries weren't any difficulty, since they got torn apart by my defences in an instant.

The crew transfer system wasn't too good. The tooltip was unclear; I thought it transfered away from the ship to another ship. The hotkey was also incorrectly shown as C, when it was B. It also took a lot of clicks to transfer 1000 people at 50 a go.

Other than that, it was good, and showed definite potential.

Kind of having trouble finding the problem. These problems aren't occuring.

Food is supplied by planets. You gotta claim the planets first using the troop ships.

The only buildings that can be built off the planet is the space station and gun platforms.

Please give a better description if these do not solve it.

Fixed the crew transfer rate, added more description, and fixed hotkey. It is now 150.

I am assuming you were playing on your own which would be the reason why you would obtain a rediculous amount of money. The Mercs are there to just wander around and annoy. I could make more mercs spawn. The trigger is that if the center has less than 75 units, the mercs will spawn.

thanks for the feedback and telling me the bugs. I was beginning to think that no one was going to reply to this thread.

Actually I was playing in an 8 player game, with upgrades constantly going at 2 reseach stations, and I had a reasonably large fleet (~20 large ships) and a lot of defences, dotted around.

You should fix any memory leaks, though.
