1. Introduction

Hellooooo Mapsters! This is Fate, I finally decided to show u what i have done so far. First of all i got to say: i am not that good with words. Thats why ill show you many many pics.

Starhammer 40k is a fast real time strategy game. As some of you may guess from the name, Starhammer 40k is based on the game "Warhammer 40.000 - Dawn of War" by Relic Entertainment. But this map shall not be seen as a copy of the original game, but as a SC2 mod that uses several gameplay elements of Dawn of War. Although i am working for quiet a long time on this map, it is still far away from being "complete" . But it is very playable and you will have fun with it if you like big and cool looking battles.

2. Gameplay

To say it short, this game is all about fighting. FIGHTING!!!. Bam! Bam! Bam! Pew! Pew!. EXPLOSIONS!!!! ....

But i guess you want me to go in a bit more detail: As in the most RTS games u need to build a base, build up an economy, build an army and kill the enemy.

The economy: The main resource is Minerals (surprise!) You get minerals for capturing controlpoints. Controlpoints are all over the map infantry units can capture them. More controlpoints means more income. The players have to fight over the controlpoints for economical advantage. Building Outposts on top of a controlpoint will also increase you income. For advanced units you will need vespid gas. Gas-income is increased by power generators. easy.

The basebuild is not that interesting. The mainbuilding and outposts generate a field that offers room for your buildings. But you need to your head a bit. Some of the high tier units have a very big collision.

The Unit production is a bit special: you can automate the unit production if you want. That makes it quite comfortable to build up an army.

4 Plans

Yeah i have many many plans for this e.g. a weapon upgrade system. Miss chances of the weapons. A army customize system. More heroes, more races.... But reality is that i work very slowly. And there are many things in the map that are not complete yet e.g. the tooltipps.

If anyone of you has an interest to work on this project then contact me :)

5 Thanks to other mappers:

Now i got to thank some mappers who already helped me.

First of all Kueken, who created the baneblade that i modified and used. He also helped me a lot with different problems Next is Ahli from instarcraft.de who also was a big help. Then Shadox, RipperRoo, Toumura, an all the other mappers from instarcraft.de who helped me.

And a big thanks to my main tester Berzerger. He spended many hours with me and my map.

i am sorry if i forgot someone.

i look forward to your feedback and Ideas. Also for that project overview Ill update this post. gl hf!

Do you think you u can make some silver textures for protoss?

XD nice one zolden.

Very nice Map,

It was a lot of fun to play it on EU mapnight, I see it on the future-page-one instead of Nexus Wars. ( ididnt like Nexus Wars at all⁾

Things i noticed:

Some Units seem to be overpowerd. E.g the stalkers seemed to strong. But thats hard to juge couz we just played 2 times. The multiselection of buildings is a bit buggy. I wanted to make some controllgroups with the spellbuilidings But that wasnt easy to make, couse spellbuildings seem to have the same aliases alltouhg they have different runes.

Maybe it will be a problem that everyone will like to use the spells only. My Idea: make Spellbuildings and Spawnbuildings cost diffent ressources. So that every plaver has to mix up spell and spawn builidings.

Sry for my bad english im german^.

Hi all

i want to create a danw of war like map. my problem is: How to make that you can make a specific unit typ just 5 times. I mean the unit limit for that unit. You can just have 5 ones of that unit.

I tryed to get how the requirement for the mothership works but i didnt get it. in wc3 it was so easy : Limit training of unit (my unit) to 5 how to do it in sc2?

I have to say that im german. I hope u can understand my english

ah thy you it somehow works but now i have to make the units i the mod and i cant make them while im working on the normal map -.-

But im glad it works anyhow

is therer a way i can test my units with the mod without using the map?

Hi all im new here and i have a problem:

i wanted to create new units, what is not problem as long as i am not using the campange units in my map. When is use the units form the campange in my map i am not able to give the actor the name of my new unit. When i try to make new units there is also the word (notilted) after the name of my unit, what makes no scence to me.

I have to say that im german and my editor is in german too. But i hope you can still help me and understand my english.

I searched for help in the german forum but sc2 is kind of new in germany and there not as much people active in mapping as here.
