Zone Control Ultra
Zone Control Ultra
I've based this map off of the original Zone Control Ultra from the original Starcraft. I didn't add anything that would dramatically chang the gameplay from the original. I feel the simple design on the original was a great credit to its success. I'm happy with the way I implemented the massing tool (See top left on the screenshot) among other things listed below. Please let me know what you think, or if you haven't played it yet, go on and give it a try! Enjoy!
The map is divided into 60, 32 or 12 different zones, depending on the option you choose. The person in control of a zone always has a bunker in the middle of it. To gain control of a zone, you will need to bring a Bunker Dispenser into it. If the zone is controlled by someone else, you will need to kill the bunker in the enemy zone and have more marines in the zone.
Killing enemy marines grants you minerals.
You can upgrade your weapons at the Engineering Bay to level 100; armor to 100, and you can upgrade Stimpacks and Marine Range at the Engineering Bay.
If all your bunkers are all destroyed, you will get 250 minerals to get another. For every bunker that you destroy, you will get extra minerals.
Whoever owns a bunker in a zone owns that zone.
Marines are created at zones you control.
To gain control of a zone bring a Bunker Dispenser to the middle of it when it's empty.
Upgrade your army and control zones to defeat your enemies. Eliminate opponents by killing ALL of their units.
Unique massing tool.
Choose from 3 different map sizes, 60, 32, or 12 squares!
Unlock achievement units by increasing your win/loss record!

I don't have anyone on the EU server to upload this map, if you would like to upload it and upload any updates when they happen. I don't anticipate them being as frequent as they may have been in the past. Be my guest :)

Thanks for the feedback! A mode to have Mercenary units and even adding a mode to have rock-paper-scissors units (something like Zealot-Marine-Zergling) are planned down the road but no ETA on when that will happen.
Health and other possible upgrades are something I've thought about, I just didn't want there to be a lot of clutter with like 15 different upgrades.
I'll look into changing the bunker HP. It's tricky because it was at 10000 at one time, but someone who is good at what I like to call 'bunker charging' (surrounding the bunker with stimmed marines) can shred those bunkers very quickly. But if players don't use that technique, yes the health can seem quite high. So that may need more testing to find a sweet spot, unfortunately you're the first player in a while to give me much feedback, so testing might take a bit lol.
Thanks again for your feedback, I hope you and your friends enjoyed the game!

Are you referring to the masser? If so, take a look at the trailer and you will see it change sizes depending on the map. At 18 seconds it is on a 12 square map.
And yes it does look a lot like the SC1 version. That is intended :)

Um with the dialog can u click on any of the squares of just teh "green" ones? Otherwise looks a lot like the old Z-Own control ultra

Added back in the ability to salvage bunkers. Salvaging will return 100 minerals to the player.
Added a dialog box at the top of the screen so that players can more easily track how many minerals they need for their next Bunker Dispenser.
Fixed a trigger error with the AI that happened when they finished a player off.
New Feature!
Players can now change the map size! Game Options will appear at the beginning of the game allowing players to vote for map size and choose AI difficulty, if applicable. Players can choose between:

Posted Jun 12, 2011Hi remrem222,
I'm not too familiar with SC2Allin1, but currently the way to add computers to play against is to add them at the lobby before you start the game. I'm not sure if SC2Allin1 will let you do this or not. A second option for you is to edit the map and go to Map -> Player Properties and change as many from "User" to "Computer" as you'd like.
I will look into an option to add computer(s) in game if you are solo and hopefully that'd make it a bit easier.
Thanks!

Want to practice? Don't have enough players? No problem! I've created an AI for the game! Just add computer player(s) to the lobby. I would describe their difficulty as Medium.
