An interesting thing I've tried is bringing the psi emitter with you with a probe during battles. Actually, the psi emitter will almost always be picked up anyway if your ally kills a scouting probe. If you bring it with you, your reinforcements come immedietely, thus giving you a huge advantage. The problem is, if the probe that's holding it and the rest of your forces are killed, this lets your enemy to kill off all the units that come out of the psi emitter one by one.

I think you should replace the psi emitter with a civ, but if the civ dies, it should be replaced with something immobile for say, 10 seconds, and then get teleported back to your base as a civ again. That way you still get temporarily penalized for losing the civ.

That sounds like an awesome idea and something u can always patch on it as well until it fits perfectly with the gameplay of the map: IE: More Civ HP, Longer respawn time, CIV loses respawns with less HP everytime it dies??

How bout another idea of making 2 similar map with a border at the center so I can obs 2 matches at the same time? lol

Maybe like 2 Chupung Reong with some black border at the center. Only prob is the minimap for the player it will be enlarged.

I think you could do all three races. The only thing that I'm worried about is that if two players on one side open standard and the other side opens with DTs or something someone is going to end up getting kind of raped when those DTs jump over to the two people playing without detection.

Players simply need to communicate with their partners and prepare for the time when his/her partner loses what they tried to use.

I.e. your partner produces some DT's? You probably should get some detection. So when your partner's opponent kills your partner's DT's, you're ready for them.

If you have a ton of time chef, you could make it balanced for all races by "copying" a balanced map, like desti (or another) twice on the tandem map. So you would just have to make the tandem map twice as broad as desti and voila.

Think this would work?

Not really.

Anyway, I already made version 2. It's not bad if I do say so myself, but I want to test it before I release it...

Updated OP... Haven't really tested this much, but I did manage to fix a bug or two looking for things on my own. Post here if there are problems.

I played the second map a moment ago and at the start there is a spam of 'unit unplacable something' .

Anyway it is a great concept and I hoe you fix it

Really... I was sure I fixed that... maybe I uploaded the wrong version.

Well, I moved some things around a bit in case you did dl the right version, but if you downloaded "Tandem sc 2" that was NOT official and I know it doesn't work. Please try the one from the OP post.

Mm even if it's a ums I think it'd be ok for you to post it at bwm to get a stable dl link. Seems pretty neat, bit of wasted space in the middle though

My mind is exploding every time I think about this. It's so fun. Everyone needs to go play it so we can balance it and get more ideas about how to make it fair.
