Hey guys, I'm working on the map Battle Tanks. There is an inherent flaw when the tanks are not within range and I solve this through a timer, when 45 seconds have passed I issue first a "Send all units on strategic suicide missions" then after a few seconds "Send all units on random suicide missions" and I loop this. The first time it fires no problem, after that its anybody's guess.

Any other solutions to make them attack eachother other than these?

offer incentive to players to not sit around and camp or what have u

or u could have a computer in some other vechile run around and it has very high dmg and armor and it would go around tryin to kill the tanks, and obviously they would want to move them lol

Yeah I have to make more effort to minimize the stage sizes. Because if theyre too big the players will obviously develop their own zones at distances. I like the rabid killer idea lol. I also have another timer after that 45 seconds that ties the game, and adds whatever remaining tanks they had to the roster for a rematch but that takes away too much from the flow imo. Highground incentive is an idea, and place the highground more towards the center, usually mirrored i guess for both teams to have a chance, or maybe not, i tend to be too leniant. I'll keep brainstorming, thanks fairy.

I've tried. I might try again. The first time I tried I just do global Anywhere to Anywhere, but this time if I have to, I'll cut the stage in half, 2 locations and, send the commands for both sides.

NudeRaider -- I bet it just needs another training session against pros instead of only against itself and nobody will be able to stop it anymore.

so it can be beaten by a prepared pro, even in macro games, if only barely. the muta micro in particular seems really hard to handle for protoss ground though. In the open goons can't catch them, in the base they trip over buildings, it just instantly flies out of storms and they fly circles around archons. Mass cannons do work, but can't cover the whole map with it. Probably need mass corsair to counter and hope you can outmaneuver all the scourge.
