(1)Starship Troopers

[tmotu]

Hello.

This is my first single-player map.

http://up.kupatrix.com/f/166/Starship_Troopers.zip

It's loosely based on the actual movie "Starship Troopers".

You will need Starcraft Broodwar in order to play this map.

Please note that this map may be genuinely hard for people who are new to Starcraft, so don't be too annoyed if you can't finish it ;-) (even I have only been able to finish it once).

Don't try to wipe out the enemy... as it is virtually impossible. Staying alive is the ultimate objective for this map.

Total playtime shouldn't be more than an hour.

Save frequently and enjoy.

Tell me what you guys think about it after you've tried it!

were you able to finish it?

tried it once, fucking lurker raped me, it killed 8 rienes and a ghost before i could kill it, then the ultras got Duran

[tmotu]

hehe how far did you get from the countdown tho?

So far, the best I got is from a friend, who got down to around 5 minutes.

btw... those ultras that killed duran... are not regular ultras are they? (or are they? lol)

When I was on my way to the base, some defilers plagued my entire army. It was a slaughter after more of their reinforcements showed up and I only made it to the base with around 6 units. After that, the Torrasques rushed in and all attacked Duran at the same time ignoring the bunkers and other units. Should have been paying more attention to that one ghost I guess. Duran blends in pretty well with the other ghosts :S. So the countdown timer had only been going for a minute or so before I lost. I also had trouble with the lurkers like Fiendwurm, but they weren't so bad until that defiler got me halfway through a zerg base...

i saw the starship troopers movies (there are 2) when i was young. they are awesome, and i love the idea of translating the movie into a custom starcraft mission.

Good Work!

Usually it's a good idea to have the hero units that you have to tend more carefully in a different colour than the one of your player. Pretty much like you see in Blizz's campaign maps. *Cough*Rescuable players ftw*Cough* ;)

Thank you everyone for your enthusiasitic response.

I'll take the advice of changing duran's color to his original one (teal, I think).

but if I remember correctly, I think I ran out of force slots to put duran as a seperate rescuable unit. I'll have to check.

thanks for the idea.
