Map Testing

[UpperKEES]

I think this thread should be in support.

I'd say the custom map board. Support is more for help with the game itself, the installation and the website.

Chani, feel free to move this thread if you read this agree. :)

I agree , it did'nt fit to the random discussion .

Both beat able but UpperKEES wants a score so go for it

[UpperKEES]

Why not attach them to your post like Spiffen suggested? Much easier....

And don't say these maps are beatable while nobody ever finished them!

Im pretty sure with this image that fleet 9 is and im 95 percent sure fleet 8 is

How big is the difference between "pretty sure" and "95% sure?"

4 percent

Heheh! Good point Karsten. :)

To be sure it needs to be 100%. So the difference between 95% sure and 100% sure is 100%. ;) 95% sure doesn't exist.

Well, depends on how you define sure. I think he uses it in the meaning of:

2. confident, as of something expected: sure of success.

That would mean that it's probably doable, and he expects it to be doable. Actually you could say that being sure is allowed at 51% chance, as then his thought would most likely be right.
You can compare it to a 100 side dice and you saying: "I'm pretty sure it won't be a 1", or, "I'm 95% sure it won't be a 1,2,3,4 or 5".

But, on topic, even if that fleet 9 map was possible, I don't think anyone would like to play it, cause noone likes to just spend their time just building drones while victory is already assured. Why not just make it a bit easier, what's the use of building a hard map, that noone will like to finish. The only thing you'll get from it is a low rating and some comments like "tedious", "way to hard", "Boring" etc...

So just make your maps a bit easier so you can finish them, as this will be better for you, the CW community and the map approvers.

Um yeah this was off pure annoyance for the map this can be done without drones but i was so pissed i nearly hit my head across the desk due to all the fail mortar blaster runs

If anyone wants to see pics of my fleet 8 run, I have some... I will upload more as I get them.
Phase 3: http://j.imagehost.org/0017/84.jpg (Do try to get of the island before the outer layer of emitters comes on at 10 minutes. It makes everything easier.)
Phase 4: http://j.imagehost.org/0713/89.jpg (I really did take my time getting up the hill there, but that is what I needed to do. I also deleted the speed nodes to make room for more useful buildings. Be careful that you don't lose the blasters on the hill and back up that collector.)

I would only submit a score, because when you post the complete solution there will be no challenge for others to play this map (in my opinion, as figuring out how to solve it is the fun part).

Here is the map that need testing , added as i suggested :

I'll delete it once the map is released. However, by making the solution public during testing, there will be more people that can solve the map, and it will be more likely to have a score submitted in a reasonable amount of time. Isn't that what we all want here?

[SPIFFEN]

Posting an score shows other players that it can be done ,
and giving an hint of the solution is nice .

But very hard maps might only have only one solution ,
so an posted score might be the best hint to give in the start ,
so the players have to work to finnish the map .

Then some more hints can be given , so some more players can finnish them .
So an complete solution is'nt needed , if someone really want to post an score .

Some hints arent the best way to finnish the map , but hint to how to manage to finnish it .
