Soulchess

yeah!!!! more hours of Turn Based fun

BTW...i have an ideea for a map...it's not exactly an ideea it's more of a copy of a map :/ (i disgust myself) but hey what am i gonna do... I lately saw so many stupid and idiotic imitations of the game DotA... the fact that all utalanted editors atempt to create new maps imitateing DotA...it's practicly an invitation..yelling ... "Why do you let everyone be an idiot...go now!! be one yourself!!! O_o"

I think you got the point by now... im trying to make a map better then DotA...thats right! ... I said Better!!

Well i need your help if your asking..."what dose this have to do with me ?"

I'll explain more about the map in private...pls try to get YM! so we can talk . I don't want to talk about the map here...some newbie editor might try to make a stupid imitation of this map too :/

Anyone is WELLCOMED!!!

I just need a few exampels of your work befor i let you join the project

well thats a nice idea but... not fitting in this topic XD u should create a new thread to announce this...

1.12 is in progress now. see page #1 for info.

1.12 released
download here!

I will held a tournament for Soulchess in about a month.

Prises
Winner: Avatar of his choice in selection arena, +3 soulpoints at beginning of each game
#2, #3, #4 (Finalists): +1 soulpoint at beginning of each game

Gamemode
CHANGE: instead of all being forced to -random there'll be normal pick games. ill try to arange the teams so there wont be any conflicts.
the participants will still be allowed to normally pick a race ingame even if they didnt specify a prefered race. however, those who posted a prefered race will have priority. -random has to be entered after those players have picked.
There will be 4 games which will be 1on1on1on1 FFA and the 4 finalists will fight each other in the final game.
There will be a tournament map-version including reduced effects and a 5th slot for a judge and I'll try to balance as much as possible until the tournament starts.
The games will be played @Northrend.
So far the maximum number of competitions is 16. However I'll change the gamemode if there are MUCH more players signing up.
I won't join the tournament myself since i think that wouldn't be be fair (you may always challenge me though ^^). Betatesters are allowed to play the map though (no extra-commands for them in the tournament version).

those rules might still be changed.

Freaking Awesome

Why certainly I'd like to join I always come 1st or 2nd, so I think I've got a good chance.
B.net name [email protected] USEAST (Lordearon?)

I'll make one for Northrend around the time of tourny(unless otherwise specified). It will also be Kalvorod, cause who in the world would take my name anyways.

It took me a hell of a time finding the map(I tried a search for SoulChess, and nothing came up)and then the forum took a long time to load. Um... that's about it. I'm available every day after 8, cept on fridays. All day on sat and sun(school durring weekdays, I hope timezone difference doesn't cause a problem).

Timezone is Eastern Standard for me.


BTW: to SSJ_Gohan: I made a Turn Based Risk game a while back. Go do a map search for "Risk: World Domination" It's got some bugs, but it works just like risk(cards, dice, buncha shit). It could use some more work, but I'm done with it. If anyone wants to work on is just email me [email protected]

Also email me [email protected] with info about the tourny



.

Kal you arrogent jerk.
Just for that I will enter. My problem is time frame. I only have internet on ceretaint days and weeks. My mom is evil...

My name will and always be LoneSlayer. I dont have an NOrthrend account but I will make one. Email is [email protected], and I am also EST. Scholl on weekdays blah blah blah. Mondays and Wendsdays I have form 8 till 10 on school, and Tuesdays, Thurs, Fridays, I have afterschool untill I get kicked off or haff to go to me mums, and Weekedns I have the major time if I am at my dads. Like i said, my mum is Evil. EVIL!!!!

i changed the gametype and added a list of the registered participants. version 1.13, which might be used for the tournament (after modifying it) is already in progress. changelog on page #1.

Mini-Me signing in the tournament

My race: Elementalist

I play in northern, can play in the day and night, but not in morning (like to sleep in late )

HAHA No, I suck at Soulchess, to don't suck I need much training... I'm not signing up, sorry... But maybe Mini-Me will kick all your asses? Hope so Good luck Mini-Me!

16 players registered. if u dont belong to them: sign up anyway. u MIGHT still get the chance to play if a game ends in a draw (or in case someone is absent).
as for the date, i guess itll be held in 2 weeks.

i thought u were supposed to use Random teams in the tournament?... anyway... if you think you'll need me in the tournament just gimme a PM on wc3search with the time and the day. I'll teach em' to play.

Huh

HUH? The list is in version 1.13? But you havn't posted that version yet...

Well, can I atleast take the place of someone if they don't show? You know like if something comes up with them and they can't make it(or just forget) then I'll be with you guys to take his place.


Could you tell me how you made it so the units don't have Move Patrol Stop, etc. If you don't mind, I was going to do something similar(it would never get finished don't worry it's just for my own fun ).


By the way, someone said that this map reminded them of 'Brigadine' for PS1. There was also a similar game for the old NES called 'Archon', and another more recent one called 'Wrath' for XBox(that uses hexes instead of squares,+ other 3d kinda stuff).

Lol, it is something called "Unit - Pause unit"

@Kalvorod:
1.1.13 is in progress but not released yet (i think i posted a possible releasedate...)
2.as i said theres a chance that even those can play who didnt sign-up in time. however id really like u to post ur bnet name, the realm and ur favorite race.
3.N00byStance is right ^^
4.i dont know any of these... as for archon... i once played archon ultra. that was for DOS i think. maybe that inspired me although i can hardly remember anything of that game.
