Canal Warz Made by Toxic_Waste55 Release: Pre-Alpha, Hope to achieve full Alpha status by August 23rd Summery: I’ve been making maps for years now and this is my best one yet. It was heavily inspired by battleships but, heck there is no such thing as originality anymore. It set up North vs. South with battleship style weapons, but without the unrealistic suckyness of the CPU. In an almost unheard of innovation, the CPU is an actual challenge that you must use your wits against to gain the upper hand. I do this by making nearly every unit in the game a hero. Even the littlest swordsman can level up into a formidable force, but so will you so it remains challenging. The terrain promotes strategic team planning by forcing players to fight by air, land, or sea. Every game your team’s strengths and weaknesses will be different and so will your enemy’s. This forces you to help wherever the problem is and prevents the development of a foolproof strategy that will always decimate your opponent. If you buy a ship, you will get the biggest cargo hold and have an HP boost, but you will also have to take the most indirect route to your enemy and have to face the fiercest units. If you choose to fight by land, you get the most direct route to the enemy but also limited mobility. If you decide to fly, then you get a speed boost, but a severe HP, attack, and cargo space reduction. One must be able to compensate for unpredictable changes in the map dynamics every time they play. The next point is an utterly pointless game world. The cause for which you are fighting to the death over is which makes a better, more nutritious breakfast, pancakes or waffles. This question ripped the civilization apart, started a war, and created two new religions. While playing the player will be immersed in a rich environment that will give you a definite feel for the two nations. In the Great Pancake Alliance you will see a seemingly perfect and happy society. But as night falls a different world emerges. The women turn out to be prostitutes and the men gang members. Bums stalk women from the shadows while they wait for a moment to strike while husbands beat their wives If your observant you will see an occasional decapitated body stashed in the bushes. Meanwhile, the Legions of the Great Waffle are a dreary people obsessed with the dark arts, but their society is strong and unshakable. There the people willingly sacrifice themselves for their god, the great waffle. Their torture cells are completely voluntary and penance there is seen as testament to their god. Bodies are piled up all around their cathedral and decorate their government building, the ‘Waffle House,’ named after a breakfast chain nearby where I live. In the end one gets a very vivid picture of the game world, well that is if they aren’t to busy blowing something up. Everything described above is done using doodads and triggers. At the moment I am fearful of hitting the doodad limit. As far as triggers, units, items and abilities are concerned, the map is done. It plays fine and well. All I really need are some testers and time to finish my crazed doodading. Also someone who is very experienced with JASS would help to streamline the code for slower machines. Features: 43 playable heroes! 23 purchasable items Hard Great terrain (in progress) Waffles vs. Pancakes (I mean who doesn’t want that) Kicks serious a**! Plans to expand with new features, like maybe trading but I am hesitant about it Team: Me –the terrain guy Myself –the Jasser I –The unit creator Progress: Only need to finish doodads, need testers Misc: Here are some screen shots and an unprotected version of the map as well!
