Well, didn't rage 'quit' per say, I cheated instead with

Code: Select all

for k,v in pairs(game.findenemyunits(game.player.character.position,500)) do v.force=game.forces.player end

because the only tactic that i found even slightly effective was stacking lots of shields in pa2 and doing a suicide run with a flamethrower (and the player port). I managed to get 50 like that (remapped F to space so when i fired I also picked up artifacts) then failed because I'd died and took out the player port with the flamethrower (accidentally). SO i ragecheated, It's quite nice to see (though I noted that even upon changing the enemy's force, if they were locked onto you before then they'll still kill you, might be best to have a set function that will reevaluate any targets the ai has when the force is changed. Also the biters seem to become 'objects' so when they are hurt it flashes a warning in the bottom lol, probably just throws up a warning whenever any player force is damaged)

I had fun and intend on giving it another go when I have time

edit: Forced biters to kill me so I could show this

I was using slowdown capsules to dont get stuck in them, running to the base and kamikaze with the flamethrower next to a spawner.

Got 30 ran out of player ports (I was burning them with the flamethrower when respawning) and died

Hey, what if we could buy upgrades for alien artifacts?

[FreeER]

Hey, what if we could buy upgrades for alien artifacts?

Nice idea, though two questions come to mind
1) who are we buying them from?
2) makes the upgrades bought with alien artifacts different from research labs (other than difficulty with automation)? Labs already use science packs made from alien artifacts.
Of course if this is something unique to a scenario or something then who cares lol

Also, my first thought upon seeing this was that players would spawn with a market nearby, but thinking about it perhaps building a market would allow nearby biters (in a non-polluted area) to become neutral to the player and thus allow trading in exchange for proof of enemy tribes being destroyed (artifacts), pollution (or attack) would make the biters increasing hostile leading to shutting down the market, then destroying it, and then becoming an enemy tribe again (attacking you) lol. Makes them seem more intelligent than mere animals

[kovarex]

Anyway, this map is kind of inspiration, I see I have to fix few things, the first will be to repair the discharge to have bigger damage, faster recharge and that it would damage only enemy units

[ficolas]

To be honest at the begining I thought this map was gonna be just fustrating, but Im "learning" new strategies about killing creepers, like making them be stuck in water and throw poison capsules. Lol that feels cheaty... They cant really pathfind throught big areas, maybe they should be able to swim? But slowly?

Also slowdown capsules are more usefull than what I thought first time I used them.

i like the marked idea, ill try to make a 2nd map (that has slightly less enemy bases) whit some sort of marked idea in it.

also i like how people actualy got a few artifects, i only got 5 after 1 houre of playtime.. (took me awile to make a safe area)

[kovarex]

My best amount of artifacts was 37.
It is good trick, to use distractions robot above water, If I had more distraction robots it would be possible to kill more.
