I was wondering why there wasnt a thread about this map already so decided to create one.
Its Popularity been skyrocketing the last days on the EU server.

Basicly its a [UMS] in wich you build up your own Empire and defend yourself firstly against Ai...
later on you can raise the Ai difficulty level and even disable the Ai to make organized PvP matches.

You start of the game by :
1. vote difficulty or no Ai
2. choose a way of leading people (Monarchy , Democracy etc..)
3. Choose a place where you want to start of with allot of different terrain.
4. Get basic eco starting as in the loading screen described.
5. Play the game out as you chosen what to play against.

Difficulty explenation:
Easy =,
Hard for begginers and you might not win it as averange player before you played atleast 5 games.

Normal=,
Slightly challenging for the averange player but out of own experience 2 days playing it feels like its extremly easy.

Hard=,
Slightly harder then normal but still not challenging for a person who plays much

No AI=,
Well u cant of course explain difficulty of PvP but it feels very good playable and i didnt find anything unbeatable of yet you can play very economical vs slight agression.
I did even in a game vs Ai Kill players while holding of the Ai so i feel like Ai is training for PvP or for people who love to play PvE.

Bugs to fix:
No Victory condition ....

Basicly the game is akward without easy editable Victory condition every game has win condition just not this game.

2 Riflemen randomly spawned near top middle and given to random player has to be removed for various causes.

One thing im missing:
The loading screen doesnt provide players with information to join a chat channel for more competive games for PvP , thats whats pretty cool in City of Tempest there is a channel with good players .

My first standartopener for PvE and race;

Monarchy

6 House 1 Market 4 Farm 1 Substation...
then more eco and stuff depending on what i wanna play i can make a very effitient route .

So what are your experiences with this game ? Any complains about certain stuff post it here. Im of course not the mapcreator but maybe can someone contact the creator with feedback. I just want just damn victory conditions :D

this map is very intresting. i played it a few games and i have to say its a lot of fun. but i never finished the map yet. (always died to zerg sooner or later ) .

my favourite opening is:

corrupt ( +50% tax income)
build mass farmes+houses for a long time to get the monster income

with the additional income you can get so many houses that you dont even have space to build them xD
after defending with some turrets you can go later into extreme expensive army like mass tanks or air units

I really like this map, but I would like to be able to play with a few more people. It would be cool if someone can modify it ^^

you can play it with 12 people. 14 is the maximum for a custom map. so if you want to have an ai you can make 13 people possible and thats not worth modifing it

Tried the map out. Can some1 tell me - what reason could be why my "tax rating" was negative all of a sudden? First i thought not enough food - but no. food is positive. and i have really no other clue than that. and that was hell of annoying that i had negative tax rating and couldnt do anything

I know 2 reasons for negative Tax:

1. Your Military is to strong. Every unit costs some upceep and if you got to many of them you loose money. For example one scout helicopter costs ~200, a bomber ~300.
2. There is a research Building wich also needs 400 credits (?) upceep or 1.600 if fully upgraded.

If you have no money sell oil. You get 4 Credits per oil so an oil income of 3.000 results in 12.000 tax income.

if im not mistaken oil raffinerys cost some upkeep too.

other then that stopped playing it because of change to 3 building tabs.
most good RTS had 2 building tabs and this is why its kinda in my muscle memory.
its just akward with 3 tabs.
