NHW...Nexus Hero Wars? I'm interested in anything you make, Rodrigo :D
No, it's not nexus hero wars. There's no heroes on this one.
The map is already done. I'm just balancing it and debugging it to start playing with real people soon.
Top Left: Good because it's close to the Noob's Reformatory, so you can set people free.
Top Right: Big Space with a single bridge. Very good, and there's the subway to escape in case of emergency.
Bottom Left: Anti-Air island. Invulnerable turrets that can help you a lot.
Bottom Right: Wi-fi Healing Spot. Very useful because it keeps healing your units.
Center: The Banana Lord place, which is good because you can sell Bananas without risking to die.
Center Left: Good spot because there's 2 bridges and a Market that you can buy items, bananas, and units.
Center Right: Huge space for a base, you can have a nice base there, and it's very close to the Mind Control, which is very useful on the big units.
Top Center: Nice space for a base, and close to the teleport in case of emergency.
Bottom Center: Although small, you can have a small base there easily. There's only 2 entrances and a gate in one entrance that opens and closes randomly.
AWESOME! Yes I will fix that bug right now! And congratulations, you guyz are the second team to beat the game :)
===================================
UPDATE: BANANA CHEATERS. VERSION 1.55
- Now the QUIT button is hidden during death to avoid rage quitters.
- Team-killing allies heroes to steal bananas is now forbidden.
- New tips and game hints displayed for noobs.
- Now you can play the game alone.
(The update is on US. It will be on EU later, after being fully tested).
Rodrigo, how about some more stats? I find the global top players ranglist weird as it is, because it practically rewards playing with fewer players (more bananas for each). I'd like to see how many bananas in how many games a played collected and stuff like that. :) Maybe include it in the help window, like DR does it in Mafia?
btw made it to level 21 today. Our party has the goal to beat the game within this week. gogogo!
Level 21 is not bad. Well done. You probably have 4 stars by now.
You can see how many bananas a player collected in his best game if you move the mouse over the player name on the leaderboard. You can also see the number of levels survived and levels survived without dying if you move the mouse over the stars.
And no, you DO NOT have more rewards for less players. There are 25 bananas on the map. When a player picks up a banana, a new one is spawn. So, more players is better because is easier to survive for more time and easier to find a dead player with lots of bananas around his body.
ADD ACHIEVEMENTS (which should give visual rewards for the banana-boy and stuff, so people can show each achievement they got).
They would encourage the replay factor much more. I don't find anyone to play this with, except when I brainwash some friends or random people on the chat channels. It's so sad, and the map is so fun, lolz.
Stars are some sort of achievement. You get a yellow star for each 5 levels survived and a red star for each 5 levels survived without dying. So, right now, the highest achievement is 5 red stars, which means that you have to beat the game without dying. Odor is the only player on Battle.net with 5 red stars. When we beat the game, he was the only one who survived all the 7 intense minutes of level 25.
Yay, we could play again. :) And I made >60 bananas for the first time, yippie!
Question: Is the spawning of the nydusses in any way dependant on the number of players?
No. 1 new nydus each level. The units that come out vary slightly based on the number of players. It's not a big difference.
Replay plz? We have no clue how to survive that long. :D
But then again finding out might be the most fun. I hardly ever feel challenged by anything, this map does it.
I don't want to spoil the level 25 (final level). I will send you a replay that they sent to me where the players survived until level 24. Our strategy was similar.
I can never find a game. The first few days it was a lot easier to do so. Now I have to do some wrangling from the Banana Cheaters/LF Custom/Friends List to even fill 1/2 a game. I guess this is kinda out of your hands, but it's too bad.
Pop sys :|
I wish I could do something to help you, but I'm in the same situation. I also struggle a lot to find 6 people to play with me. People just don't want to try a not-popular map called banana. =/
It's funny how Rodrigo's life is chronicled through cut-ins in his map vids.
lol.
Damn, banana cheaters cant get more than 70 hours played. It's hard to find ppl interested enough to play. Most ppl think the game is a virus just because of its name :(
BANANA CHEATERS. VERSION 1.46 This is the version where the game finally gets easier.
- +50 life to your Bananaboy and + 0.2 speed.
- Now you can upgrade Mercenaries and Heroes.
- Fixed bug where there was no sound of heroes in bunkers.
- Now enemies reward +2 minerals instead of +1.
- Now Nydus rewards +7 gas.
- First 7 levels are slightly easier.
- Now each Banana rewards +5 more minerals.
- Perdition Turret builds 3x faster now.
- 10 seconds less time of jail colddown.
No, it's not nexus hero wars. There's no heroes on this one.

I will be recruiting beta testers to try my new map.
If you are interested, add me on Battle.net: Rodrigo#881
@Lonami: Go
There is no better spot in Banana Cheaters.

Bottom Left: Anti-Air island. Invulnerable turrets that can help you a lot.

Quote from xSun:
We did it! ^_^
Once you find a decent tactic it's pretty doable, as long as the important players don't die.
Rodrigo, you made the first map of SC2 that I just HAD to beat. Thank you for that. Dunno yet if I will hunt for banana records.
Who can beat 742 kills on a siege tank?

(careful, spoiler on a tactic how to beat the game)
Also I found a bugged banana spawn point, maybe you want to fix it:

WHAT?? Try again. Maybe EagleSight is updating it (I sent the latest version to him).

Congratulations to the first players to beat Banana Cheaters: Palamani, Odor, lim, and Stardrac.
Also, Banana Cheaters has just been published on SEA by Jack.
We are remaking Banana Cheaters at 1 AM today. (PDT)If you want to join, go to the chat channel Banana Cheaters and wait for me.
edit: That was a cool game. We survived until level 20 without dying! \o/
I want to play now :D
Everytime I want to play, I'm on the chat channel "BANANA CHEATERS"
