xzavius 14 Posts December 12 2010 22:55 GMT #1 Name: Defense of the Ship Players: 5v5 (size 12 though cuz 2 computers) Mode: Dota-like General Concept Ever wondered what it'd be like to be a crewman on a battlecruiser or mothership in the middle of a heated battle? Well that's what this game is all about. The Terran and Protoss have been through a long epic war, and the final battle has come down to this: one battlecruiser versus one mothership. Be the crew and/or pilot of your favourite race's last surviving flagship, and defeat your enemy by upgrading your ship, battling through asteroids, and infiltrating the enemy's ship. Terran (Battlecruiser) * As a crewman, choose from a marauder, medic, reaper, ghost, or siege tank. * Build autoturrets as extra weapons to attack the mothership * Defend the battlecruiser's core and main weapon array * Take a dropship to invade the mothership Protoss (Mothership) * As a crewman, choose from a zealt, stalker, sentry, high templar, or immortal. * Build exterior photon cannons as extra weapons to attack the battlecruiser * Defend the mothership's core and main weapon array * Take a protoss dropship to invade the battlecruiser Captains * Each ship can have one captain at a time to micro the battlecruiser/mothership * Everyone else is a crewman and fights * (you can switch who is captain at any time) Money * Kill enemy civilians and heroes to get money for your ship * Money is shared and can be used by the current captain to build turrets and fighter ships Experience * Level up for killing enemy heroes * Currently levelling up only gives bonus armor, health, and damage * Dying once or switching hero types resets your level * (but you level up fast) Environmental Hazards * Mutalisk swarms attack your ships at random * Pick up helpful mineral fields that spawn every 90 seconds This is the first release of this map, so come on out and try it. You don't need a 5v5 to play because players will join alternating teams as they join. So come on out and try Defense of the Ship! (DOTS?) ;o nice acronym. Video 1 Video 2 Edit: Trying to add pictures and a video as per request. Thx guys XP SC2DOTS@hotmail.com

Welcome to the popularity system. Seriously though, as another map maker I'm going to have to tell you that it is nearly impossible to get new maps played no matter how good it is or how much you advertise on forums. I wish you the best of luck.
