What a fantastic experience of a chess game! It was really enjoyable. Actually, the only work capable of discriping this is: FENOMINOCAL!!!! It's absolutely just like chess. Controls are über awersome, and the amount of diffirent options and settings you have is simply awesome. You know, this map has an unlimited replayability IF you want to play chess. But as most peoble wants to i see absolutely no problems of that sort. If you have observers and someone leaves and observer can take over the control of another player! Isn't that just great? The graphics in this map is also really great, though the King looks fairly cheesy, but it doesn't mean it's bad. It's quite good really. One thing that i can complain about is that you see a black "non-map" area all around the chessboard. My suggestion is to lock the camera at a certain view and simply LOCK it. And then import two new textures for the map. One that makes a terrain for this "table" around the chessboard. And one for a cliff to make it really look like a chess board. But no doubt, this has come far! And it has drilled itself right into my heart. There's nothing to discuss about it!
You can change everything. Your camera, your color, the spell it makes when a unit is moved (and it even doesn't change for anyone else than you so none will get mad at you in any way) and MANY MANY MANY other things. Just hit the Escape (ESC) buttom at your keyboard and the meny with a nice list of choices pops right up. It's really awesome, no doubt.
This map doesn't take long to download and it's a fairly good and easy gameplay. Just click a unit and rightclick on the field where you want to go. There's no reason not to download this. It is fast transferred between the computers and it's such an undescripeable feel to play this. It completely levels the game Chess xxxx (newest is 9000, right?) becouse of the awesome graphics. Easy online play (becouse of warcraft 3) and a ton of other things. Yet, unfortunetly, there is no AI! But, it doesn't mean much. As soon peoble sees this on the game list they doesn't hide themselves. No, they enter right away! Fantastic, really awesome map with a dozen of fun for all kinds of peoble!
List of suggestions:
-I would say that your king looks fairly cheesy and isn't really clear to look at. Make it better in the next version.
-The feuture that you can change your color is indeed really neat. But it could be even more neat if you could type you exact tint into the game. For example typing 255-255-255 would make you white. Typing 255-200-200 would make you light red ect. ect.
-When you move a piece, instead of just having it teleport right over, let it fly up until it reaches the middle of it's movement it begins going down to land at the exact place where you wanted it to.
-Make 2 new tiles. One for a cliff which indicates the corner of the chessboard and one for the table. Then try to make it kind of look like you are actually sitting at a chair by the table and playing chess.
-When you scroll into the edges of the screen the camera will rotate!
With these feutures enabled, it would be more than just Superb, it would proborly be perfect!
