When I played SC. I think Golems was the only MASS game I played. The reason I played it was because I like how you “kinda” had to be strategic to win and not just mass. strategic . So I took that concept and made it a lot better… I focused the map on Strategy instead of massing! This being said ( HEROES are going to be a big part of the game ) I am going to have AURA heros ( For attack,speed,health,armor ) Heros that will tank units / immobilize units / cloak units ( I think I am going to make a cloak field spell that is not like the mother ship but you actually have to cast it on one specific unit ) I am going to try and make it so each hero is important in their own way.. So you will need a combo of them to actually win the game.
Map: Golems Advanced Macro. Players: 6 Map Discription: You build an army of golems, You can spawn different types, and upgrade them. Heros: Hero Golems are units that can take multiple units. The Heros spawn by minerals, the more you have the better combination you can use. 15 Mineral will = much weaker units, then 45-60 minerals. ( its going to work just like the civs did in the orignal, but with just clicking on the beacons and then hitting “shift” to execute your code.” EXP: You have 45 Minerals ( So you have 3 clicks, = 3 civs ) You now go to the selection area hit beacon 1 twice, and 3 once. This will spawn a hero combo, Say if you do an invalid combo, all it does it say its not valid please try again. You also have a depot that you are protecting, if this is destroyed then you lose. The depot can get upgrades as well, health,damage, etc. ( I am going to try to incorporate a lot of things for your depot. Depot: Attack Mode, Defense Mode Attack Mode: Photon Cannon Attack, 5000 Health, No health Regen, ( very weak to damage, dies about 10x faster then in defense mode ) ( Alot more spells/upgrades to come ) Defense Mode: ( No attack ) A lot of armor, Health Regen ( Spells to come ) I actually think I balanced the depot very good, Its very helpful to keep it in attack mode, but I made it so if you are really being massed then its hard to stay in attack mode. Macro: I am trying to make this map as user friendly as I can, I have added very simple mass control macro into the map. Space = Select all non hero units. H = Select All of your “hero” units. 1-6 = Mass rush normal units at the corresponding players. EXP: 1 = Player 1, 2 = Player 2, etc W = Walk, This sets all of your normal units to attack to the center of your camera, no matter where they are. ( You can use your arrow keys to move Arrow Keys = Walk as well but its just move / instead of attack. the camera just like a normal game, but if you are holding W all of your units will walk with the camera ) ( They are set to attack as well, so when they see any enemies they will jump right on them ) Normal Units: Zergling > Marine, Marine > Zealot, > Zealot > Zergling Zergling = Fast Golem. Max level 3 Marine = Rapid Golem. Max Level 3 Zealot = Blade Golem. Max level 3 Heros: Blade Golem 3, Fast Golem 3, Rapid Golem 3 , Gravity Golem.
I am going to have screenshots soon, but I am really waiting until I can actually test this map with someone and show nice screen shots of actual game play. But I still will show you the map!! I just have to do them all separate because I do not see a SS folder for sc2 :( Unless someone knows how to do this?
NOTE * I am looking for 2-3 testers… I would love it if some of my old friends could be it! So if you know me sign up!
What I need * I want to make this as user friendly as I can, If you have any ideas to make the macro even easier please let me know!!
Hero Ideas, and spell ideas! ( You can suggest weaker heros, or really strong heros… They will be balanced by cost )
Unit Selection - Unit 1 (W/E it is) [0.0, 0.0] is Selected by player 2
Unit Selection - Select Untitled Variable 002 2 for player 2
Unit Group - Pick each unit in group Variable and do (Actions)
( Just make sure you add them to a group when they are created/ at the begin of the map! )
Unit Group - Add (Last created unit) to Group Variable ( Make one )
Do this for both units! and you should be good to go!
I would love some help on this too!! I think right now abilities is what I am on next for my learning curve!
I have already learned how to attach any ability/gun/attack to units, and change the basics of the ability. I do not know how to make my own little twist in it, I am guessing it has to do with Behaviors and Effects... But I am not sure!
Data editor = Hell :(
I took me like 2 days to duplicate a zergling lol.
