Awesome grad! Hell, was about time for it to get there! I'm sure seeing everyone congrat you makes your hard work feel like pleasure :)
i look forward to trying this out; it isnt published on EU.

Bazinga!
WE LOVE GRADIUS!!1
One thing I want to mention, Gradius:
The Mothership inclusion as a hero makes the balance for transitioning between tier1-tier2 for the lower points team bad. There is not way to counter Mothership AND tier 2 units using only tier 1 combos. I think that the mothership should be a tier 3 hero. Somehow have a minimum point requirement to be able to get a Mothership specifically.
Also, what you may want to do is add more shield points to the nexus as the current one dies too quickly. I have only reached tier 3 once with the nexus still standing. The DPS of tier 2 is very large, so to compensate I think the nexii need more Shield Points.
Otherwise, as you know it firsthand, the map is absolutely brilliant ! I love the unit selections and also the HUMONGOUS baneling is fucking hilarious!! With a few tweaks I think it can become perfect! :D
Is there going to be a 2nd version with different unit selections down the road? Also, you may want to include ground kill-zones that convert ground units to observers, just like in BW, in your newer iterations if they will be existing
:D
The SC2 DotA is out (beta version)...Watch out :P
Bravo Gradius well done !!
HAHA! I knew this would turn out as a great forum thread! But, what about the fellow admins? they not happy that gradius is giving sclegacy a good ol' fan boost?
Of course! I'm very proud of Grad. He is one of my best friends and I couldn't run SC:L without him. This is awesome!

Anyone want to tell me about what this game is? :P
You start with 2 teams: each team has a nexus.
Your team's objective is to kill the enemy nexus. You can choose a set selection of unit combos and use them as a team to defeat the other team's unit combo through micro and spells, and eventually start dealing damage to the enemy nexus. The more units each individual kills, the more points he gets.
At a certain point threshold, you advance to a more advanced unit selection area. And you can choose from Tier 1 and Tier 2. Tier 3 is unlocked in the same way. As are heroes.
There are 2 Xelnaga towers to help with vision, and using high ground is pretty advisable. Use your team-mates' unit strengths to bolster your own. Like if you have 6 lings, use them to lock ranged units like marauders while your ally's stalkers shoot from behind.
That's about it I think?
I played a game earlier and i was using phoenix's and i flew them up to the north of my nexus and they glitched through the wall to where you select your units. I don't know if this is my fault or not but it happened regardless.
Congratulations Gradius. Shame I didn't get a chance to play it yet except for those occasional test runs I had with you before. Will certainly play it when I get back to Canada.
thats more or less a copy of my fav sc1 map, as i suspected.Quote:

good to know theres one such great map laready made - better yet that its made by someone we know. :)
Definitely congrats to Gradius. It's a great map. Pretty much all of my favorite maps for StarCraft 2 are made by SCL members. Maul's Risk and Gradius's Micro Arena are the two maps I play when I'm not meleeing.
Thanks to you both.
Protip: If you join a game against Gradius, go ahead and leave. You're going to get stomped :D
Great game but I spawned on the wrong side of the map so I was spawning in front of the opponents entrance. You may want to check that out at some point.
Hey thanks again guys. :D
Thanks for the feedback man. :)Quote:

I think what this game needs are observers instead of a raven that always gets shot down. I might add the sacrifice zone like you suggested. I do plan on increasing the HP of the nexus - would like to see more tier 3 battles.
Hmm. Interesting. I heard about this before but haven't been able to reproduce it; i think this only happens if someone drops during the countdown. Did this happen on the newest version?Quote:

And the glitchy respawn thing is true - it happened in 2 out of 3 games for me. So most likely, everyone IS using the older un-updated version.
Can you link us to the latest version here? That way we can create the game with latest version.
Can't really link you to it. Battle.net is supposed to just have you DL the latest version if you don't have it. That's really weird. ;$
If you're sure it's an old version, you might want to report it as a bug.
How do you publish Gradius? I have a map that I cant publish.. It just fails during upload! Been working on it since the hiatus..
Anyway, after work today I might give this a try.
Must i bump this thread? Grad if you want to change the title to "Team micro arena Feedback/Suggestions i will gladly edit the post!
Hey, thanks for the thread again, but you guys should use my thread in the mapping forum for feedback/suggestions: http://sclegacy.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3859
