Hello Everybody

I have been around this forum lurking and looking at projects but this is my first post. I am currently working on a map called "No Mans Land Survival" and is going to release a video as well as the map within a few days (hopefully tomorrow) on EU. The map have been tested alot but isn't perfect and is not fully complete. If any optimizer manage to read this and wanna take a look it would be awesome, also I'm looking for music that can be used for a fast pasted action game. I might also need someone to upload the map unto US servers. Me myself aint that much of a starcraft 2 player and haven't used the editor much in previous games (warcraft 3 etc) but have learned alot in this last half year.

Short description of my project: Top Down shooter with 4 player coop vs enviroment Slaughter arena Bosses

The preview/trailer I'm currently working on will show what I have created. For a countdown on my realease http://www.bored.com/makecountdowns/show.php?id=222103.

Just to clarify I want to write how you can find my map in Starcraft 2:

Map name: No Mans Land Survival

Author: Mindless

I have created and waited alot but noone wants to join my game. I have little ability to popularityboost maps. This new system is really irritating (comparied from wc3)...

Dude I completely agree with you about that, I really wanted to try out your map yesterday, and I scrolled down about 5 pages of maps, but I couldn't find yours .... Just be patient, I think the map scrolling system will be reworked soon and then I will for sure play your map alot, aswell as many other people I'm sure. If by any way you can help me finding your map ingame though, I'll make sure I play it with friends and try to make it more popular Cheers

@Rqsb: Go

If you are going through the "create game" way and want to find my map I found that the best way is to simply search for "No Mans Land" and then look for the author "Mindless" (the map name is "No mans land survival" but no matter how you search you will get alot of maps that doesn't seem to belong at all).

If you are going through the "join game" (thou I recommend that one create and then invite the others) you should mark the box "newly created" and then scroll down and click "show more" like 2-3 times and my map should be there somewhere (yesterday I found my map on the 3 "show more"). If you don't mark the newly created box you won't ever find it. I tried to scroll down without it and I reached 20 show more and still didn't find it.

Sadly I think the system won't change for at least a year (blizzard aren't that quick in reworking systems) if they even want to remake it :(.

But thank you for wanting to test out my map. I hope that you find it. I have created and waited for players to join several times and only one time another joined and I started (we played 2 players but the map scales if you play more so it should be adapted for 1-4 players). He then ran around without picking up any weapon and thus died quite fast and then left within seconds. -_-. If you want to I can join the game too but not today as I have alot to do.

If you find and play my map please post your opinion of it here.

As even my friends are discussing the game mechanics and almost everything in my map I will here somewhat write my thought, tips and reasons for why I created this map and why it is currently balanced the way it is. I will begin with the game name and mechanics.

The Name:
In the WW 1 the warfare and technology of weapons allowed for rather large ranged combats. This is why they dug so many trenches. When two nations fought each other they would dig these trenches on both sides and when the battlefield became a trench war the area between the two fighting forces became known as no man’s land http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_man%27s_land. This was an area where nothing but death lurked and that was under no rules. The reason I named my map No Mans Land is because of this. It is nowhere, it is forsaken and it is constant fighting for control.

The story:
My map lacks any refined story because there is no need for one and because the game idea is based on old arcade games with base on score gaining. Simply the story (yea spoiler alert) is that the terrans wants control over the area and send in some, or one, of the best soldiers at their disposal (you). There you will fight the general of the armies of each other faction, zerg and protoss. These generals are the bosses that you encounter. The general is so strong that even most of its own troops fear it. When you have defeated zerg and protoss, the terrans starts to fear you as you have become so strong from all the fighting and thus betrays you. In total this gives 3 different bosses and levels each game if you manage to reach the end (although the last level isn’t implemented yet).

The game Mechanics:
This game is all about score and fast action. The WASD movement does have some laggy input but blizzard is currently working on this and hopefully it will improve the response time when moving. The Idea came from an old game called Crimsonland (you can look it up on youtube or google if you want to see the resembles) but that game lacked one of my favorite components: real multiplayer. So I started out with the idea to make a survivor map for at least 4 players. I published the map when it was more or less ready and the only real new thing since release is the active skills which have been implemented to create a skill depth as mostly everything else is random. The idea of having bosses and waves being random was mainly in order to create replayability and because even if the mobs are random some are and will always be slightly harder than others, forcing the player to adapt depending on the circumstances. Also it creates more dynamic action. Sadly the cons of this are that sometimes the player might find himself in a bind that he cannot success. But this game was meant to be hard, still not unplayable. Even if the game is about gaining score, the players need to work together to survive.

The terrain and alike:
I have used some of the different landscapes that the editor offered but the reason I chose the current one is because I wanted to create a feeling of loneness in a chaotic environment. Also this terrain type allowed me to create a border that had a feeling to it. Walk into the lava and it burns you. It wouldn’t have been the same with water or space. The only weird thing now is the fact that e minion comes from the lava but can skill burn by the different fire based weapons. The camera was first thought to be real top down but I found that starcraft 2 is very ugly from this perspective. I might add a feature to be able to swap to this camera in the future but I personally won’t play with it activated. Also this might create different difficulty as spells and bosses skills patterns might be harder or easier to discern. I know that the terrain isn’t that beautiful ant that it’s very thoughtless but that is also kind of the point. It gives room for action and the shape being a square makes it harder for unskilled as it’s easy to runt to a corner but then become trapped. Also to mention it: there are very few skills that will affect the terrain but the most obvious is the creep that 2 bosses are able to spawn. This lowers movespeed when running on and the players should focus of destroying the source of this quickly as the retreating creep effect is kind of slow.

The Monsters, Bosses and AI:
The game is divided into certain levels and their waves. For example the zerg and protoss have 1 level and 3 waves. The first wave always have 4 different minions that can be spawn but only 2 of these appears and the process of this is random. The second wave have 6 different minions but again only 2 of these will appear. Wave 3 is the boss stage and this will end the wave 1 and 2’s spawning and spawn one of 3 random bosses (all randomness have equal randomness). This stage is special in a number of ways.
1. The minions the boss summon are considered to be a part of the boss and doesn’t give score or items.
2. The timer that controls the spawning becomes idle meaning you could spend as much time as needed to defeat the boss without having new waves spawning with the exception of a “punish wave” that will spawn 3 min after the boss appeared.
3. The punish wave have 2 different types of units and you will only encounter 1 of these if you haven’t killed the boss within 3 min. For the zerg it can be either infestors or brutalisks. The infestors have range attack and can cast fungal growth which locks movement for a short duration. The brutalisk are big, fast and deals extreme melee damage. For protoss the punish wave will consist of either colossuses, long range and high damage, or high templars, casts feedback which will force a player to reload and have moderate damage. The reason for having a punish wave is simple: to prevent score grinding (as mercenary), to increase difficultly and prevent stalling.
4. The boss wave is the end of the current level and when the boss is killed the next level and its first wave will spawn after a short period of calm. This can also punish the player as all spawns , creeps and summons will remain and might be needed to kill off first.
However as you might have seen if you played the map bosses will not receive random life and size as minions does. The size of a minion represent the different in life in the same type of unit. This means that a large baneling will have more life than a little one. The damage however is consistent and independent from size (even small banelings will hurt).

The scaling and multiplayer:
Every minion and boss in the game has some sort of scaling. The minions mainly gains some sort of increased life, damage and movespeed depending on the number of active players. This means that if someone has died and sits and watches he will still increase the difficulty for the ones that haven’t died. The reason for this is because if you are friends you most likely want to be able to play again and the chances of survival is harder when one dies but not leave, which forces a quicker restart. Even if this also means that the remaining players is able to collect more score the level difference is so small that they still shouldn’t be able to defeat a boss or alike unless they are equally skilled. This might seem like something that is broken but it’s not. This is how I intended it to be but feel free to post your opinion of it as I will gladly listen. The bosses scale different. Their life, damage and movespeed will increase (and shield if they have such) but some of their skills will also be different. The queen will spawn additional 5 queenlings and 1 creep tumor for each active player but not more spine crawlers. The queens’ initial life/sec is also depending on the number of active players. Kerrigan will summon 50xactive players when casting moderly call and nightreaver will create a shadow when creating shadows for each unit alive. Same with the protoss bosses the warp gate will spawn many more collapsing stars and service bots. The types of skills will not change but some of their value might. However, even if the enemies scale them player and its arsenal of abilities and weapons will not. The rate is also exponential meaning that it’s actually harder (but more fun) playing 4 players that 1. Spawningrate of units will decrease depending on numbers of active players as well as attack input for bosses will become more frequent.

The things in the game:

Weapons:

Here I will list the usefulness of each weapon, some hints to why they were created and tips of how to utilize it.

1. HV pistol (high velocity pistol)
This is the starting weapon and has high damage, low cooldown and shortest reload time. This weapon is actually the only weapon that doesn’t reduces by armor and on bosses. The cons and why you will need to swap the weapon is the lack of ammo. However with the reroll weapon you can regain the pistol on boss stages and it will deal significant damage if hitting the boss and not one of its minions.
Boss use: very high single target damage without reduced damage (4 shots will easily deal over 1 k damage). Together with active skill overload it can deals immense damage on a boss (even though this is very hard to achieve).

2. D-8 Mine launcher
This is one of the most powerful weapons in the game with rather big splash and intense damage mixed with low reload and cooldown rate. The only and obvious con is the delay from shooting to actual damage. The basic tip is to shoot at a position in front of your unit and then constanly walk over the mines as they explode, granting you a small safezone from melee units. The ability to make the mines lands at specific points is one of the most useful in the game. It makes it ideally to take out stationary units like creep tumors, spine crawler, the warp and gateway and because of its splash it can save another hero with too many minions hunting him. Another con however is that it’s actually kind of hard to mass score with this weapon as minions can be snatched by others with other weapons before or even while the mines are exploding.
Boss use: very good against queen as it will kill the queenlings with great speed and as it can deliver devastating blows to the stationary units (also makes the weapon a good counter to range units). The weapon is not every effective against Nightreaver and Maar as these can teleport and doesn’t rely on minions.

3. Blasting Gun
The Blasting Gun is a reincarnation of a classic rocket launcher with projectiles exploding on contact. Its large splash makes it a rather basic weapon that is easy to use and amass score with. The weapon is however rather inefficient at dealing direct damage to bosses. The ideal situation is to kill as many small units as possible to be sure of snatching score and items from the other players before the boss and during the bossfight kill off minions to let the others deal with the boss itself.
Boss use: Not very efficient on the bosses directly but very effective on their spawns.

4. Shredder Gun
This is the ultimate scoregainer and one of the best weapon on the bosses. It has low reload and high ammo reserve. It represents the classical “Machine Gun”. Its damage resist debuff is important on bosses and not so much on minions but will not rise to higher than 10 % and will last for a reload. The con of this weapon is the “stuttering” that will lower the movespeed. Each time you fire you must stand still, only for a 1/10 second, and thus it can be difficult moving while shooting. Another perhaps less obvious con is its synergy with the active skill overload. Because of the large clip the endless ammo ability will not be as noticed as with other weapons.
Boss use: Extremely good weapon if you can hit the boss directly. Summoning bosses might be harder because of this. Active skills can however allow this weapon to be emptied directly to the boss. Example is the use of lockdown, warp or repel aura.

5. Gauss Rifle
The gauss rifle is a sniper rifle that will almost every time you fire it kill all the minions in a small line. It has very large damage and pierces everything and depending on the size of units the damage from a single shot can hit more than once. The cons is the extreme damage reduction on bosses (and the fact that most bosses have little hitbox), the very low ammo reserve and the skills needed to hit the things you want to hit (it have rather low accuracy). However combined with active skills like lockdown or classic overload it can become one of the most devastating weapons. The priority should be to focus larger units as they are hit harder (and give more score).
Boss use: Very good weapon for cleaning summons and minions and at the same time hit the boss.

6. Firecracker
The firecracker is the ideal minion damager (not killer as the damage can seem little low). It have very low cooldown and a strong splash attack that also will send out small shrapnels imitating small gauss rifle shots (but with much lower damage). These shrapnel have true damage meaning they will always deal consistent damage. It can thus damage everything on the map within a single clip. The most obvious con is the fact that the low damage can be intercepted and grants the other players a greater chance at snatching your score. This can however be avoided with the classic overload skill that makes you a nasty splasher for at least 6 seconds. It can also snatch others kills by mistake and a skilled player should be able to steal a lot of minion kills from effects like hellblazer or warm trail. It is a very good weapon for killing small enemies but lacks the actual focus like blasting gun have.
Boss use: The basic projectile can be shot at the boss and the small shrapnel can deal with its potential minions and summons. Its obvious use is otherwise to focus minions and make the shrapnel hit the boss.

7. Gauss shotgun
This is a weapon that is remade from Crimsonland by request of one of my friends. It acts like the gauss rifle but have its damage spread out on 4 projectiles. The weapon has a spreading effect meaning it will hit more and in close range it will deal extreme damage. The cons is however that others have rather easy to pick of the minions you leave with little life and it have one of the longest reloading time of all weapons. Combined with classic overload it can be the most effective weapon in the game.
Boss use: just always fire at the boss or cluster of its minions.

8. Bio-plasma shotgun
The basic and more primitive version of the gauss shotgun. It has much ammo and fires 20 projectiles with low damage able to pick off minions with little life and continue to dig into enemies behind. In pure calculations it have the most damage (when trail, cone and pierce effect aren’t optimized). It is like the blasting gun very efficient at amassing score because it seldom leaves units with low life. Also remember that the Shredder Gun fires 2 projectiles at once which mean that the on hit effect can instantly stack to max if both of them hit.
Boss use: Can deal with smaller units like queenlings or directly hit the boss for massive damage.

9. D. Bazooka
The D. bazooka is the most efficient support weapon in the game. It stuns minions as well as set them on fire and the projectile have the same properties as the mine launcher making it explode where you want it to and not on collision. The general use of this weapon is the use of its disable ability. It can by any means save any other hero by locking all the hunting minions to the ground and it can keep the user rather save if used very closely. The cons of this weapon is that most of its damage is the fire debuff that even if have large radius seldom grants the actual kill and thus score. Firing the weapon at the same pack constantly might seem like the only option to gain score but depending on the other weapons this isn’t the case. The weapon should be used either to create a wall that the enemies hunting needs to walk around or to freeze units far behind to let them burn to death outside range of the others weapons. This is one of the weapons that with skills can keep the owner from taking damage.
Boss use: the stuning ability doesn’t work on the bosses themselves but the fire debuff does. It should be used to disables summons (if able) and a good idea might to shoot every 2 or 3 shot directly at the boss to make sure the fire debuff is on at all time.

10. Hellblazer
Created as an ultimate weapon it is also the easiest to steal kills from. It fires 3 projectiles that creates fires in its wake and slows enemies depending on how much damage they take. Because of the behaviors curves (like a stale sinus wave) it can deal 3 times its damage in the joints of all projectiles. This is necessary to master on bosses and other tough enemies as it can stop them in their track as well as deal extreme damage. The most obvious con with this weapon is the reload time which is the second longest one of all weapons as well as its cooldown. It should thus be obvious to try and target smaller minions as they die faster and might spawn a free reload item. The other players will always be able to pick of minions in the middle of the blazing inferno so try to make use of stacking effect by firing the shots at somewhat same direction. With the active skill classic overload this weapon will lit the whole screen on fire but remember that the long cooldown actually lower the efficiency of the active skill (you will only maybe 1 or 2 free reloads).
Boss use: queen killer, kills queenlings, spines and creep tumors with ease. Slow against nightreaver, Maar, stone zealot and will blaze kerrigans and gateways summons into oblivion. It will however without skills deal little damage to the actual boss.

11. Wave Gun
One of the hardest weapons to master because of its conelike effect. This is the second best support weapon in the game and is the only one who actually becomes stronger the more active players. This is because of its pushback ability that has a dependency of the targets movespeed (as minions and bosses gains faster movespeed they also become more knocked back by the gun). In very close range it can be hard to hit units but at medium and large distance you will see how easy it is to blow away enemies. The damage is like Hellbalzers damage over time and it is thus quite easy to steal your minions but the ammo reserve allows you to keep firing when others are reloading. By keeping a clean line in front of you it can be somewhat easy to stay alive or dive into a cluster of minions to grab an item.
Boss use: This weapon will blow queenlings off the screen as well as winged zerglings. It is also a good weapon against stationary targets and the use of the weapon is very similar to gauss rifle.

Weapon drops are depending on pickups of other players. When every player have used either reroll weapon or picked a weapon no more will ever spawn. It can thus be a good idea to let someone pick a weapon and let him kill off some minions as it will drop a lot of weapons if you doesn’t have one. This way is the only way to make sure you get that weapon you want except with the active skill reroll weapon.

Items:

These are the drops that will occur after every player has picked a weapon. They are more or less the reason you are able to stay alive in difficult times.

1. Free reload, this is the most basic item and allows players to experience even more mayhem. It will instantly refresh weapon cooldown and grants instant reloading next reload. The biggest mistake is to pick it when you have almost completed a reload cycle as it will just reduce that loading time by a few 1/10 of a second. If picked when ammo is full you will instantly refill ammo instead of starting a reload cycle the next reloading time.

2. Medpack, the basic but not only way to regain lost life. These aren’t as important as the full life you will get when you level up but will help you if you can take them without suffering to much damage or put yourself in a bad situation.

3. Bomb and bloodbomb these are the run and get to items. They will destroy any followers and incoming monster depending on their distance but are almost always a given choise to go for, even if you take some damage. The blood bomb is the most rare item and it have a much larger radius, damage and will grant a very small proportion of the damage dealt as life to the unit that picked it (usually the player regains all of his lost life).

4. Time device. These items are long lasting buffs that will hinder melee and shortranged enemies form ever touching you. And if you need to run through a crowd or cluster of minions they will not be able to hit you if you keep moving. The real effect is a 90 % time slow for all units within the shield (except bosses). This item has very high synergy with many active skills.

5. Shield. The shield is the ultimate (next to blood bomb) pickup. It will grant you total immunity to all kinds of damage for 5 seconds. This even includes damage from active skills and bosses skills. The only thing that will affect you are debuffs like inhibiting virus and alike but as items don’t drop during boss fight its very unlikely you ever will notice this.

Active skills:

Here I will list the active skills and their use. the active skills is unique for each game and is picked just like the characters themselves

1. Classic Overload. This skill should be used when you are reloading as it will instantly let you fire again. The lower the cooldown on a weapon is the more efficient this skill will be. However it also grants additional ammo to every weapon for one reload which can help the more heavy weapons immensely.

2. RAGE!!1. The only active skill that will deal damage. It costs a chunk of life but its explosion is larger than a bloodbombs and can thus kill enough enemies to get medpacks to refill life. This skill is however not a skill to use when in a pinch as the - 50 % damage resist will make you squishy like a little bug. It should be used when the path in front of you is clear so you can use the skill until at least 2-3 seconds without taking damage and then run into clusters of minions. Its efficiency against a boss is very limited as the boss have many ways of dealing devastating damage to you. Life and durability is more important but when fighting bosses but this skill is the ultimate summonkiller.

3. Lockdown. This skill should be used to avoid an obvious real pinch. It actually freezes the bosses as well as minions and can thus be used to abort a boss move. But remember that most bosses’ skills have a channeling or cast time lower than 2 sec and thus the skill must be activated depending on the patterns the boss is currently following if the desired ability is blocked and not a random one. Also some skills cannot be canceled as the effect itself will still linger (moderly call is such an effect).

A quick notion of the offensive skills: All of these skills cost some life to cast. However this life is actually damage that is delivered to you and anything you have at your disposal to avoid damage can. Heavys shield will block up to 15 points of this damage and a shield will block the damage entirely.

4. Rapid recovery. The lifesaving active skill that cannot be used when in a real pinch. Useless you might think but combined with both shield or time device it will grant full life without much danger. Also this is the only way of regaining life during a boss stage except natural and other life/sec abilities.

5. Amnesty. This skill is the pinch saver. If you are about to eat the full strength of a collapsing star or shadow chaos this skill will save you. It can also be used to run through a cluster of minions without taking damage and with timing it can also be useful to pick up items. Just make sure that when the effect runs out you will have time to reload before enemies catch up with you. Even if you are invulnerable you will still be targeted and the minions will still hunt you.

6. Warp. This is a cheaper and more risky kind of lifesaving ability than amnesty. It will teleport you within an instant (but remember that it can be lag) but makes you a target afterwards without ammo and lowered movespeed. This skill has rather low cooldown and can thus be used to pick up items like time device or shields.

7. Repel Aura. This is the most unique skill. It actually repels all enemies and projectiles (more attacks will be of this type later). Shadow Chaos trails will change directions and this skill can easily be used to gather up melee or very short ranged units with a rather low cost in a close distance but without letting them harm you. This is however the side effect of the primary use of this skill which is a speedboost. While the extra speed isn’t as big as the one from overload it lasts longer and doesn’t cost a big chunk of life nor decrease your survivability. This skill on beauty and she can outrun almost everything. It might be the only skill that can save you when you’re on creep.

8. Reroll Weapon. This is a skill done by request. It allows the owner to change weapon every cooldown. This is a skill that makes uses of the different weapons efficiency depending on boss or current levels minions (example if you met the queen and have a shredder you can use this weapon to gain a weapon like hellblazer or wavegun). The only downside is that you cannot choose weapon and that you can get the pistol in very bad situations. If you have this skill I recommend that you use it frequently.

A note to all the skills that cost ammo: Use them when you are reloading. It will not require you to have full ammo, it will just cost you full ammo and if you don’t have any ammo in your magazine the diminishing effect will be next to none.

Finish Notes:

I have had fun and frustration by creating this map. The editor is very limiting in many ways but that only makes it better. Limitations are the best way to make the game interesting as it requires more thought from the creator that way. I will continue to develop my map even if I never see it in the popularity list (the max games played on my map have been 9/hour). This because I want to, because there is more to do and because I want to learn more. I will most likely create another map and depending on circumstances the genre will differ and learning to make skills is perhaps the most important in the editor.

If you managed to read through this I congratulate you. If you played my map it might get you to understand the mechanics better and hopefully given you tips that you already didn’t know. If you haven’t played it yet I recommend you try it out, not because of me but because you will be able to see what the editor can do.

Some fixes/patches (still same version :P):

Increased Score drop for killing boss and legendary mob
Fixed some wrongs
New UI for temporary buffs (shield and time)
All cooldowns have been reworked to match the game ticks (and thus have exact times) and this means that all cooldown have been rebalanced as they now were faster than before. Although most of the cooldown have been keept the same (meaning that many skills is now improved). This also affects reload time. Each reload time have been increased 0.3 sec (but the cooldown fix should have reduced the reload time by 25 %)
Reduced life gained from mystic shield to 75 from 100
Reduced cooldown on immunity to 18 sec from 23
Reduced reroll weapon cooldown to 15 from 20 sec
Reduced Reload time for wavegun to 3.1 sec from 3.2
Removed any cooldown on shreddergun (it now have 0 cooldown)
Increased Pistol damage to 200 from 185
All normal minions have now a maximum range of 3 for range weapons.
Terran Wave Have been added
Increased beauty passive to reduce active skills by 2.5 sec from 1 sec
