Plot: After learning that Terran mercenaries are desecrating one of their planet, young Protoss warrior Tarsalis lands on a planet and begins his quest to reach lost ruins. But unknown to him, his superiors have more sinister plan in place.
Version notes: This v1.2 release of CoA map contains tons of changes here is the list:

- Removed the range of Terran sensor tower.
- Fixed ivanco's initialization area.

- Added tons more "no walk" zones over some areas and doodads.

Fraid to say I got wtfpwned at the terran base though, just seemed to outdo my protoss entourage in a few ways. Also the multiple text flashing across the screen during cinematics was a bit migrainey. Half of it was variations of the SAME text, but with differences based on how the voice actor said it, and then of course there was text on the bottom of the screen :S Quite a few grammatical errors too, shouldn't take long to clean up. (BTW the 'All your holy place are belong to us?' made me lol) Keep working on the map, I think its fantastic.

totemicus Jun 08, 2010 at 22:54 UTC - 0 likesmap looks VERY nice! i especially like the asthetics of it and the elevation changes
i havent been able to test it completely , as the cutscenes just black out my screen , gameplay runs fine , but all i see are the subtitles, and hear the voiceovers , but all i see is black until the cutscenes end
id really like to see the full map , but what ive seen so far i like very much!
anxious to see this mapline playout even futher
also tarsalis voice is perfect
other voices could use some work, not on the sound themselves, but rather on the dialogue , to go more in line with tarsalis voice wich i think is perfectly done, his dialog is also very tosslike wich is what i think you should aim for with other protoss voices
ivancos voice sounds good too, but as with zealots, dialogue could use a more serious tone

Anyhow, I think the voice acting was perfect, and funny at times. No complaints here for anything in this map.

SystemSe7en May 19, 2010 at 04:33 UTC - 0 likesSorry to say, but the voice acting didn't really seem that great to me.
Definitely needs a skip cinematic button, and maybe a checkpoint system. I had the High Templar die near the end (40/40? Really?) because I didn't know he was a key unit and I had to restart the entire map. Going through the cinematics again was torture.
Also, there are parts of the walls in the Terran base that allow you to skip through part of the level. (Where the grinder is and opposite + far right side of the destroyed base before the mining camp).
