Looks good! When do you think it can be finished?

Sometime this week... If someone could test this on the Zone (computer issues prevent me from hosting) that would be great.

I can no problem. E-mail

If there are any special things I need to know just say, whenever your ready send it to me, can play at MCSN hopefully, I missed the last few!

I cant on the zone, but I can playtest! BIHSting@yahoo.com

Thanks WildCard and BIHSting! I will have a beta version ready soon. I will have to write the instructions first though.

*SPOILER HINT* Don't waist time on the buildings, go straight for the castle!

Sounds good, DarkRedd. And great name for it too; that would've been a great name for a single player campaign I'm working on now.

It was originally given the creative title of 'Castle Warfare.'

Mmm, break the rules, make innovative things.Or, you will stick to the old schemes?
NO, make a Moral system, and even more.

Wow. I never dreamed I would've inspired something.

BTW, it's feud, not fued.

Moral System? That would take forever, particularly with all the unit spawning within the game.

*edit*

Maybe with DiGiT's trigger studio, I could copy/paste Beserker Jerker's moral system. Dunno.

You can do a moral system without using Kill Ratio. Sort of a CB-Style "10 kills, 20 kills, 30 kills, 40 kills" thing.

@Fadawah

I'm trying to make this as open has possible. I think Berserker Jerker's system would be better.

@everyone else

The BETA is almost complete. Just four more triggers.

*edit*

@zyxomma100

Yes. You did inspire it. In fact, Defend the Castle is one of my strongest influences.

Quoted from Darck:

Evil.

Quoted from DiGiT:

Why? The moral system I was refering to was released as a utility.

Hahaha oh ok. Although this does open up opportunities for others to do cheap copying... hmmmm.

Sent to BIHSting and WildCardDow.

Got it, you sure the zip document is in there?

EDIT: Got it as posting lol..

Sorry! There was a flaw in the design. I have fixed it and resent it.

[This message has been edited by DarckRedd (edited 06-01-2004 @ 10:23 PM).]

I apologize for the double post, but I haven't heard back from my playtesters.

Hope all goes well with the testing...I'm looking forward to the completion of this design.

Wanna playtest?

*edit*

Darn, I need reliable playtesters. The only one so far is WildCard.

Well for the music, I think you will have to make your own mind up, depending on the music you like, though the music out of The Battle of Poitiers sets a pretty good mood of action IMO, you might consider using that.

You don't have to have music, though it would be a good idea, once you add some more elevation I think the map is set, then if you want to add some extra players, it will be a whole lot better.

uh, quote from zyxomma100--"I never dreamed that I would have inspired something!"

didn't u get ur idea from www.addictinggames.comon a game called--u guessed it: defend your castle go try it guys, it's fun, it'll boost your micro ability and make you have wrist surgery if you get to level 35 like i did before I quit

(also, don't forget to try out the mages, they're cool )

Chief, if you're going to give credit, give it to the right people.

All Adddicting Games does is link to the real creators of the game, XGen Studios. And really the game is too easy once you get to level 35... a thousand archers kills anything before you see them on the screen. Or just get a few hundred mages and blast radius everything as it walks in.

Darckredd, I'd be willing to playtest if it's finished. I learned to wait until it's finished the hard way.

Argh, can someone please tell me how I train archers?

First you need to buy a Church, or whatever it's called (been a while), and get converts by dropping enemies in your castle. Then you need to buy an Archery Range (or whatever it's called). Then click on the red (I think) flag on your castle during a wave to train one of your converts into archers.

Thanks.

@zyx

If you're referring to the beta version, yes, it is complete.

I'm talking about a complete workable version. If it's completed to the point where you are trying to refine it, I'd be willing to help, but I don't usually like playtesting for a work in progress.

Well, it is clear of bugs, and the map is at 99.999999%. In other words, yes, it is completely functional. You could play a game on the Zone, even.

Then damn it, what are you waiting for! I don't see your message in my Inbox!

ALthough I have to go to bed... I won't be able to look at it until tomorrow.

You want me to send it? You could have made that clear...

Sent.

*edit*

I'm going to leave a four player version for an update.

[This message has been edited by DarckRedd (edited 06-07-2004 @ 11:39 PM).]

Several things:

Nice, but the map seems a bit big for two players... I really don't see much of the map being used. This might change if you add 4 players.

-Your slaves can build a Blacksmith/Town Center in the training area. Using your Market to trade for food/wood, you can get a lot of researches. For example, Blue can research Long Swordsman, which will mess up Red's conversion triggers.
-Blue's Elite Guard is made obsolete by the Lancer. It's a unit that is slower, has less HP, attack, and armor, yet costs the same amount. Red's Elite Guard has it's attack bonus vs. archers, but I'd still take the Cavalier any day. Why does Blue get Frankish Paladins and Red gets Cavaliers?
-IMO the villages give too much tribute. I suggest increasing the tribute times by at least 50%. Just having two of the villages gives you too much gold to spend without watching the map.
-Red's "Heavy Trebucet Crew" is misspelled.
-I believe the Saboteurs are too powerful. They have an incredible amount of attack, and will take out an entire army right away, for such a cheap cost. I suggest making them Petards, so they become viable only against buildings.
-The Gate Duplication bug has happened to Red. Delete the Gate ends.
-There is no way to win. Destroying all enemy buildings won't work, because the spawn points still produce units, and even if you block them, the units in the menu system allow a player to stay in the game.

How didn't I notice all of those. , zyxomma100 is obviously smarter than the average zoner.

I didn't notice these two, which are the only ones about the game triggers:
-Your slaves can build a Blacksmith/Town Center in the training area. Using your Market to trade for food/wood, you can get a lot of researches. For example, Blue can research Long Swordsman, which will mess up Red's conversion triggers.

Didn't even think of that..

-There is no way to win. Destroying all enemy buildings won't work, because the spawn points still produce units, and even if you block them, the units in the menu system allow a player to stay in the game.

That last one didn't happen to me, of course I never got through an entire game without them quiting, most quit once the castle was down.
