I'm thinking of making a zombie map, 256x256, either badlands or jungle, computer controlled zombie, but I don't know how to make the pathways and barricades for combat usage, like houses, streets, sewers, etc.
I know the first thing when making a good defense for the humans is to make a half-moon entrance so they can shoot with a lot of units.
But after that I don't know how to make good tunnels, first & second lines, multiple paths, room centrals, the overall structure.
Plus I don't fully know which tiles you can see through, I ended up with some one-tile thick walls which I could see through the edges, especially at the corners. I remember that I placed higher ground tiles next to unpassable tiles.



None.

Oh_Man -- Hope that makes sense. Also artosiscast just dropped a 1 hour vid he analayses a bunch of its games. The TLDR is the maphack is responsible for a large percentage of its wins because its just hard countering zerg rushes

Oh_Man -- It's EMULATING the behaviour of a control group select and move without having the actual functionality to do that

Vrael shouted: yeah but it looks like pluto's eAPM is still 6000 based on issuing all those orders
k the APM is inflated because it issues 12 identical orders individually. Its not 12 unique orders

Vrael -- which does reduce down to the same tradeoff I mentioned below, aka trading APM for time, but still interesting

Vrael -- and while the reaver was reloading it used that time to aggregate enough marine/tank to fend it off
[03:01 am]
Vrael -- like its micro vs one of the in-base reaver drops was pretty insane, basically it made the reaver spend 1 scarab per unit instead of 1 scarab for many workers/units

Vrael -- all the stuff I've said below is based on the actual gameplay vs some strong human performers, seems like the bot just has unfair advantages, but its also doing some cool stuff

NimoStar shouted: If its any consolation, the human brain would still mop the floor with this bot if it wasn't limited by the mechanical interface
I mean human brains trained the bot too, its not completely infeasible for the bot to actually be strong in certain scenarios
