Capture The Flags

[EatMeReturns]

Name: Capture The Flags
Description: And the Bunkers too!

Status: 95% Complete.

Summary: Use your Dollars (SCVs) earned by capturing Flags and Bunkers to buy units. Fight the other team with these units to dominate the map.

You start with one Soldier Catalyst (Firebat), and 3 SCVs. You then must use your SCVs to buy more units at the top, which spawn at your base. You must move your units to the flags and bunkers spread out over the map. If you are the only unit at a flag or bunker, you capture that flag or bunker. When you capture a flag, you get 1 mineral. When you capture a bunker, you get 3 minerals. Whenever you get 3 or more minerals, you lose 3 minerals and an SCV is spawned at an unreachable square of terrain. Every 2 minutes, the SCVs are moved to the "Shop" and you can buy more units. Whichever team captures all the flags and bunkers first wins. If you have a unit inside of a bunker and someone tries to take it, the taker will get the bunker and all units inside of it. This will not happen if you have a unit OUTSIDE of the bunker too. Snakemen are neutral units that move around the map, attacking everybody. They are about as strong or worse than the Soldier Catalysts, so they don't do too much damage. Supply Crates give units that find them or players that find them bonuses, such as cloaking the unit for 15 seconds or giving the player complete vision for 10 seconds.

Once this map is finished, we should make a Map Pack available to our fellow forumers. Also, I would like to see the respawn system in action!

P.S. We should so have a CTF tournament once everything is complete. :thumbup:

I need some testers for 1.3 before i can begin work on 1.4.

Hopefully by "Respawn" you meant "When player has no fighting units player gets a Soldier Catalyst."

I had to add a 5 second wait time because it was annoying for campers and players to hear a continuous dying firebat noise.

Snakemen idea came out of the blue, i need to see if they add any fun or just take away from the map.

Marines were rigged. Period. Had to divide their attack by 2.

Bottom right bunker was misplaced by 1/4 of the distance from one terrain square to the other (16 pixel grid), the minor flaw was fixed.

im hoping to finish this on the 24, thus giving me one month to make a new map by christmas. (CTF: Snipers Bald Locks FFA anyone?)

Map is ready for final testing. I want everybody who can to download it and play it as much as possible. Please report to me any comments. I will be personally testing it as much as possible. I need a 3v3 test, as that has not been tested before.

BUMP!

IGNORE MY LAST POST, AND OBSERVE THE GLORY THAT IS DUAL ARENA BATTLING!

NEW BEFORE-GAME MAP SETUP INCLUDES TURN LENGTH CHOICES!

SINGLE OR DUAL ARENA GAMEPLAY!

SINGLE VICTORY OR BEST TWO OUT OF THREE!

ALMOST COMPLETE! ONE OR TWO VERSIONS LEFT AFTERWARD!

INTRODUCING THE LARGEST ADDITION TO CAPTURE THE FLAGS...

CaptureTheFlagsv1.8 (http://www.freewebs.com/scrisk/CaptureTheFlagsv1.8.scx)!!!

P.S. it was 1.7, but i jsut finished 1.8 so here is the link before i go to bed XD.

I would like to see this map complete, we should have a special beta test for us members over hamachi :D I would like to see how well a CTF would work in an rts game..

[EatMeReturns]

<.< its capture the FLAGS!!!

every1 keeps thinking its capture the FLAG!!!

anywho... if u want a good ctf map, try Doom 2...

and if u want a special beta test, you're right on time. just round up some people and test all you want!!! its pretty much open testing right now, i've even spread it a little bit, for hope of the final version being widespread quickly. v1.8 is completely functional in every form. i just need it tested for slight bugs/glitches. 1.9 will be my final version of this map, so testing of 1.8 will be extensive.

furthermore, i would like to introduce 2.0, which will be much larger with more focus on "opposing forces" and less of a scramble to capture in the beginning. 256x256 map setting, with 3v3. im expecting large, 50-unit battles.
