Cartography & Custom Maps / 3 player vs AI

« on: April 14, 2022, 02:50:09 PM »

This is Sunset Invasion. Inspired by the official 2 player vs AI map Invasion in the maps/scenario folder.
Meant to be played on default conditions.

Players 1 and 3 each guard a lane. Player 2 sits between and supports.
Each player starts with a TH, 8 peasants, a barracks, a blacksmith, a few farms and 10k gold in the bank.
Players 1 and 3 start with 2 guard towers, 3 cannon towers and 4 footmen guarding the far entrances to the lanes.
Player 2 starts with a lumber mill, 2 footmen, 6 archers and several towers closer to home.
Each player has 120k gold in the starting mine and another 120k in a mine not far away.

All 5 enemies start with a fortress, a GH, 13 peons, 2 barracks, a lumber mill, a blacksmith, an ogre mound, a few farms, several towers guarding the base and 25k gold in the bank. Starting mines are at 375k and they will soon enough open up more gold mines. They also have a few starting units outside the lanes that are poised to attack at the start.
Player 7 (white) sits in the back and goes air. He starts with a dragon roost and 4 death knights guarding his base.

This map is quite hard and i havent beaten it (but i will) even with a very good player in the team. The biggest challenge is getting the space to place your buildings so you need to cut lots of wood ASAP. Also, completing this map might take a few hours.

Bestest 3 player comp stomp in my opinion. I have enjoyed losing it. Hope someone else does too!

Tests give a bunch of false positives. And if you then die of a car crash thats a covid death in the statistics. So whoever brings up death tolls unironically is either uninformed, seriously stupid or just dishonest in general.

If you sickly scrawnies spent less time in front of the TV and more time in the gym you would invert your health, eventually turn into chad buffs and automatically stop living in constant fear. Post physique.

Simple and underrated exercises. I do some pull ups in my upper body routine but have been neglecting the pushups now that i have gym access. I will try incorporating them.

Gonna post again when theres visible improvement.

I see lots of opinions being shared, but little to no physique being posted. It looks like you all havent realized that the former is invalid without the latter. So, here i am.

A pointless thread and im not really here to add anything. Just wondering, do most you guys responding here realize how cantankerous you are?

Raggin, if you hall 2 steps away (south of the mine), yes, that is kinda Warcraft 101. ALWAYS hall as close as you can. So, you're teammate basically knows he will be 2v1ing vs non-new people, which is why he left. Actually, I'm pretty sure I was on the other team for that game.

I meant the bottom right position. Is it called the 4 o clock? Placing it as close as possible is what i was aiming for. See screenshot. Since then i have been told it is better to place TH diagonally from mines.

So, here is the thing. You've voiced yourself on here and you seem nice and patient enough to continue to play. You need advice/training a bit to get you to do the basics correctly. I would be happy to assist you on that. But, in my opinion, people who voice this, as you have, do not pay any price for doing so. It will help you as people will see your name and be more likely to understand your position and humanize it.

Greatly appreciated. I might take you up on it.

You are 127-88 though. How did you get all of those wins?

Mostly by playing an eager russian guy who is slightly weaker than me.

Raggin, I've even had the experience of playing very nice and easy with a new person so they can learn and play and then they destroy me too. Annoying, yes. Do you still get kicked from games with the new obs feature? Unless its a 4v4 (because the slot is then needed), I rarely see people kicked from games anymore.

Almost all of my games are from before that, so im not sure. But youre right, i was allowed to stay most of the times. And even if i get kicked i might be fine with it. I usually write that im not so good so the others can make an informed decision about letting me stay. I dont like the sudden kick without explanation, but rather that than the attitude i sometimes got. As if a not so good player joining a game is some kind of an offense.

The mid game rage is just competition. I am guilty of that but often apologize afterwards. Do you argue back with people though (worst thing you can do in terms of gameplay or strat) When someone tries so hard and then dies because someone else couldn't do something "simple", it is very difficult to keep a level head. Not everyone is like that but enough people for sure. It's a matter of, I'll let him play even though he's not good, but then mid game, being like, how bad is he?!?!?! (again rage/competition) We should know better. I think it's more of or often times, we are letting someone play the game to let them play but if there were 5k people on the server, we probably wouldn't because of that. Let's be honest, what game isn't like that?

If i am simply told i played bad one way or another, i dont argue about it. I am glad if the comment points out my mistake. As a new player, all of you appear as a close-knit group of friends. I assume that if i start lashing out at people, soon no one will let me join any games. And i feel like getting to join a game with players who are better is a privilege. I am nicer than usual, almost apologetic even before i make mistakes. I see the server as a space beloved by long time multiplayer veterans of the game and that it isnt my right to affect their experience. Still, it might happen.

S9 is dated and stupid, agreed. (nice Pulp Fiction referenceish?) Just curious, did you ask where the hall should be?

It was GoW, the 5 o clock. I placed the TH 2 steps south of where i have seen others place it afterwards. No, the game started, he commented on my placement and left. End of story. But atleast i learned something.

Some people title their games as "GOW GOOD" but not too many. I think it got redundant because a lot of people aren't "good" and/or there are only so many "good" players that it doesn't apply. Good to you is different than good to us. Basically, unless it says noobs in the title, then it means you are at least decent enough to play. Also, do you ever host games yourself and put noob in the title?

Definitions are always hard. About a week ago i joined one of those noob only games, played alone against 2 in a quite evenly matched game and we still managed to annoy eachother over team balance. Oh well, i didnt suggest the teams. And i didnt fire the first shot. I am also bad enough that i get absolutely humiliated most of the time when someone towers me. Also, i rarely host games.

i have a few hundred games and am below the average skill on this server. What makes me not want to play isnt smurfs, because only once have i had the experience of someone claiming to be bad destroying me. What is far more of a factor are the veterans who make newcomers feel unwelcome and they do that by kicking from games or being overly hostile when someone isnt playing good enough.
I can take a "Raggin, skilled players only". I ask to obs or i just leave. Writing "who is this kid Raggin?" and then getting kicked is just rude. Or the other classic: "Raggin s9". English, motherfucker, do you? Yes, i know you mean that 30k gold mine separated from the center by trees, but what about it? It is like they are not testing my knowledge of the game, but if i understand certain slang. Or when my ally left immediately because my gold mine was placed wrong (not distance, just angle. How is any new player supposed to know?).

I have played some games on USA and my skill there is average, in fact even slightly better than most opponents i tried. On RU it is not. What most veterans seem to not realize is that theyre not just veterans, they are also skilled players. If they werent, they wouldnt enjoy playing as much as they do.

Want to not drive noobs away? A simple thing would actually be to write "no noobs" in the game name so we dont need to suffer the indignity of being interrogated and kicked.
