Deck Building Defense
by Skywindragoon




Introduction

This is a deckbuilder card defense map.

How to Play

tl;dr
  • This game is all about buying Dragoons.
  • Use Resource Cards to earn Minerals.
  • You will draw cards you Bought earlier.


First, you will see a setup like this.
The units above represents the shop.
The units below represents cards in your hand.


SCVs are Resource Cards.
Use Mind Control it to use it.


Drone costs 3 Minerals to buy.
It also says it gives +2 Mineral when played.


Use Mind Control to buy it.
Buying costs necessary minerals and 1 mana.


You have to stop enemies until the next turn.
If more than 50 enemies remain on the field at the end of the round, you LOSE.


Fast forward to Turn 4, the Drone is drawn to hand.
Using stronger cards enables to buy more powerful cards.


Build up your deck and survive for 30 Rounds!


Center of the map lies the list of cards.
Click onto it to read its' text.


It is also recommended to read the Manual [F9] to get better understanding.




Additional Info
Some modes are not fully translated. (Mutator Mode, Hard Mode, Team Mode, Elimination Mode)
SCA is supported. It will keep track of Clear Counts and such.

Just here for the activity... well not really

I gave it a try, pretty good tutorial and instructions

I found a string that wasn't translated: https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/258188449595654145/1426326259285102622/image.png?ex=68ead158&is=68e97fd8&hm=cc2df32bfd4a7b28f44942f70a8df13127cd7e675987b7d59cbae6d78dc214ad&=&format=webp&quality=lossless&width=928&height=225

Also the UI for the reset shop was confusing, I think you get up to 5 rerolls but I ended without rolling even once :hurr:

EDIT: Oh, you reroll one unit at a time, not the whole row

We do a little trolling

This map is seriously awesome (and addictive)! I just beat light mode for the first time after 5 or 10 tries. Still figuring it out, but having a lot of fun.

If I may make a small suggestion: it would be nice if units showed their attack range on their weapon card. I can figure it out experimenting, but it would improve QoL to just have that info available.

Oh_Man -- Like it doesnt even bother to build a comsat unless it sees a lurker or dt, etc

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
[05:14 am]
Oh_Man -- It's EMULATING the behaviour of a control group select and move without having the actual functionality to do that
[05:13 am]
Oh_Man -- Vrael
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
[03:02 am]
Vrael -- which does reduce down to the same tradeoff I mentioned below, aka trading APM for time, but still interesting
[03:01 am]
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
[02:58 am]
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
