New version of 3ICE's Fastest Map Possible WIP

Half a year ago, I began work on a new version:
Image
New features:
  • Stacking crown of kings (5 upgrades max)
  • Mass controller ignores woodcutting ghouls
  • Mass controller now colored according to the player that cast it
  • Mass controller can now send hold position, stop, patrol and move commands as well
  • Mass control can focus fire
  • The game now waits for all players to pick a race before starting
  • Creeps drop random tomes
  • +3 tomes added, more powerup tomes added
  • Shops can switch between heroes again
  • Awesome in-game countdown mimicking the one in the lobby
  • Random funny messages when players use mass controller appear in the form of a floating text at the target
  • Also the number of units in the army and the total food used by the attacking player
  • Almost fully TFT compatible (Except building speed)
  • Better quest descriptions
  • Teleport scroll has infinite charges, teleporting costs 10k wood or 1k gold.
  • Better public humiliation for gold hoarders (noobs)
  • Sharing control lets you build buildings too
  • Leavers automatically share control with an observer or all teammates if no observers present
  • No fog (I have to change this to a setting, because some people might complain… Especially maphackers. Why them? Because they needed that advantage to win and if I give everyone vision the game would be fair and they would lose.)
It is looking great except I seem to have crashed into a wall, head on.
My map has the terrible, terrible symptoms of desync and despite my best efforts I am unable to track it down. I might have to remake the map from scratch, the file is probably corrupted.

Edit: Fuck imageshack.us they deleted my pictures. Changing to my own host…

Hopefully you finish it soon. Would be great if you added a FFA mode also.

Hmm, I could have sworn I posted something yesterday here.. Guess It didn't save. Anyways how long is it gonna take for the new version to come out? Also would be great if you added a FFA Mode.

Oh, that was half a year ago. I didn't make any advancements beyond what is in the first post since then.

FFA mode is very high on the todo list for the SC2 version.

Edit: If I make any maps it will be when Heart of the Swarm comes out. I'm still waiting on Blizzard to fix SC2's popularity system and stop this stagnation.

Yeah that's not getting released with the desync problem. And I am not remaking it either.

Played a few games yesterday and my team left 4 out of 7 games that I played yesterday so it was basically 1v2 or 3 and I kept losing because of my team leaving. I was really hoping for the new version so I can get control of my team that leaves. Let me know if you ever change your mind on making a new version. I know you don't really have time to waste on remaking the entire map. Anyways good game had fun even thought I lost most of the matches lol.

People still play? That is awesome. I'll work up some motivation and remake the map then.

Edit: I have tons of time (University students always do), I just lack motivation.

Thats good news and yes people still play it as long as someone host it. This game actually reminds me of footies and east vs west. Its like their combine in a good way.
