Conquest is a territories gametype that many maps have been build specifically for. It's mostly for smaller maps and involves a linear path. Teams start at opposite ends and do reverse tug-o-war to take as many territories as they can before the round ends. There has been some talk of doing a large scale vehicular version of it on Avalanche that would be quite different than what has been done in the past. I think that's what Nemi's getting at. download Conquest oh yeah... they do, don't they? I forgot about that. Nevermind.
About that bubble shield: I just found out that if you can place it in the exact right spot so that the shield barely overlaps the territory zone, so that the fusion coil still lands outside the shield, you can be protected from the explosion. Pretty nifty, huh?
I love it. The aesthetics on the ufos are just right. Very campy and perfect for what you were going for. DL'ed. I'll write back if I have any more in-depth feedback.
Incredible map introduction. Very well presented indeed. This map looks very interesting i will have to download and see for myself.
Thanks again for all the compliments. I appreciate you explaining conquest to me. But about the bubble shield; thank you for finding that out, that kind of info is golden. Because this map is so…odd, and plays so different, there were no older maps to compare it to. So I didn’t really know what potential problems to look out for. Not that the bubble shield thing is really a problem, I just want to know as much as I can about how the equipment and vehicles on the map interact with the saucers. Thank you. Visually, I wanted to get as far away as possible from the generic looking spaceships that frequently get made on Avalanche (not that there’s anything wrong with those maps). That’s kind of funny, I just got done posting a comment in your new map thread. But yeah, thanks, I’m pretty happy with how the pictures turned out too. My favorite being the image of the Hornet fighting the UFO, it really captures the classic clash of the U.S. Military vs cosmic invaders.
Sweet zombie jesus, this map is awesome! Good aesthetic value, good gameplay, good idea overall. 10/10!
omfg. that is soo sick and hilarious. looks like something you'de play on T.G.I.F. it must have taken you a long time to think of this. lolololololololololololol
great idea man. i didnt think avalanche would be that usefull for forgeing but people like you proved me wrong
Haha wow I thought this would be some crappy map on Foundry. Nice thogh, looks good aesthetically and playability wise. If I remember Ill post back after I play it later tonight.
Very unique. You don't come across many minds that could come up with this idea. I'm amazed of how you turned each saucer into a firing machine. that really caught my eye. Congratz' on the great map. 5/5.
They came from space! lol This is such a cool looking map, and a very unique idea. Turning stationary map objects into enemy combatants? Genius! I've never seen that before. The ships look good too. Now if only Bungie had given us more walls so we could build structures underneath the UFO's. Make it look like a small snowy town, with destroyed buildings from the alien invasion. I think that would make the VIP game you described even cooler. You could add a theme to it, and say you have to escort the the town mayor to safety. Anyway, great map. I'll download it once I make some space.
