The Phantom
An FFA (4 player) map on Lost Temple with a nice little twist to it:
After 1.5 minutes a random player is selected (without the others knowledge of who he is) to be the phantom and he is granted double income. He's goal is to be the only survivor while the others goal is to destroy the phantom.
The hard part is to find out who is the phantom and form alliance against him. But be careful you might end up back stabbed if you make the wrong decision.

Posted Mar 22, 2011I have a pretty good tactic for defeating void ray swarms. It requries some sentries, about a dozen templar, and a swarm of stalkers.
What DOESN'T help, is when I don't notice that someone has unallied me and gets into a clusterf*ck fight and kills all of my units unopposed.
Set an autotrigger so that whoever is attacking you (provided they are not cloaked and you can't see them) is automatically unallied so you can fight back without losing precious seconds of units dying in swarms.
thirty void rays and the 1-3 seconds it takes to type -unally color = auto-death.

Posted Oct 6, 2010For god sake, please put up a trigger that when attacked, the alliance is broken on both side.
It's so frustrating after 1 hour of playtime, someone just wipe out your entire army (as the minerals and gas are quite limited too) ...
Other than that good game, but need improvements like choosing your mode at start ..

Posted Oct 5, 2010Someone STOLE it so it's on EU now on the 2nd page in case you still want to play it. Whoever stole it should be ashamed that he can't create something this simple.

Posted Jun 1, 2010Haha I played a nice game with this map.
I was a phantom(didnt notice for like 30 seconds btw :p) and I thought I'd be dead so soon. Couldn't be more wrong than this.
I got very lucky that some protoss decided to go for fast void rays, so the other guy accused him of being the phantom and we allied to kick his ass(I was slowly building and pretending I barely got minerals for the army).
The guy was pissed off, called the map gay(I think he didn't get the purpose of this map).
Me, a zerg and a terran left in the game. The terran guy was platnium league so he just played well, hence I easily convinced the zerg that he is the phantom because he has more thors than me (2v4 :p). We teamed up and (barely) kicked his ass, I retreated my army to be ready for the final assault :p.
After terran has been defeated, obviously the zerg comes up with " Oh so you're the phantom? :P" ...30 seconds later I was in his base with MMM drop and thors while his units havent came back from the previous guy's main base. He wasn't mad though, he said I played it well :p
Great fun if you are good at lying and slowplaying :p

Posted May 29, 2010ok that is good to hear the bug was removed, i'll agree with the balance being a problem for the lower teir but if the phantom is either diamond or platinum and knows what their doing they can wipe out all the other players x2 resourses isnt much i'll agree but let me give you an example.
A protoss player is made the phantom which isnt to bad if their noobs a few lings or just mass hydra with a little micro can beat a noob any day but if the phantom is in platinum or diamond then he can do a standard build get a expo up etc. Then all of a sudden plop down 20 pylons and 10 warpgates and just mass a massive army or god forbid mass void ray.
Maybe my problem is i havent had a desent team yet.
As for the map problem i dont think a blizz map is going to work for something like this, what you could do is find someone else to make a balanced map for you if you find that hard to do. i imagine their are alot of people on sc2mapster that would be willing to help just for fun and ingame credit :)
GL and HF
p.s I should mention i am in diamond 1v1 and platinum 2v2.

Posted May 27, 2010That bug was already fixed long time ago, but accidentally I made the version public and it got popular xD
I'm definitely considering making this with more phantoms on bigger maps, But I'm not good at building balanced melee maps so I'll try to find an appropriate one. I've played it too with friends and I couldn't kill them when I started building immediately since they reacted quite fast (platinum league). The only effective way was for me to pretend I have nothing extra and make them ally against each other. It's hard to balance it for every skill level / player composition but with doubled resource it's still 2v3 technically.

Posted May 27, 2010Ok so ive played 10 or so games of this on battle.net 2.0.
i'd like to recommend making this a 6 or 8 player map currently the phantom just builds production buildings from the get go and steamrolls everyone else more players would remedy this, another recomendation i'd like to make is that currently the phantom mines 10 minerals and 8 gas, this isnt a great way of going about it anyone can just click a mineral field and see who the phantom is, other then that great work and i'm glad someone has remade this game for sc2.
