Metal And Magic Beta 6.3b

Metal And Magic Beta 6.3b

This is kind of the "first" version of the "actual" game. It's most of the framework that my original concept incorporated. This includes:

• Fully equipping items, multiple Shot functionality and Sets
  
• Good AI, from spell decisions to attack behavior handled uniquely and individually
  
• Multiple playing styles, including Friendly Fire and Hardcore modes, as well as Skip (none of which is currently documented well)
  
• Multiple wave group possibilities
  
• A 100% trigger-based damage system for damage manipulation and control
  
• A fully dynamic spawn system, using player number, Gunner levels, and other factors to calculate the perfect difficulty for every game, regardless of who leaves.
  

Things to come/improve:

• Many more Shots and Set items
  
• Adding Easy/Normal/Hard game modes, to manipulate the number of spawns per wave
  
• Increase wave group variety as well as the number of waves before Infernals
  
• Drop-only-items, earned through various interactions with with enemy units (not just killing them)
  

Those are the things I came up with off the top of my head. Hope you enjoy!

Nope, and I don't plan on it at the moment.

Fell free to start a poll or something, and if you get enough support, I will put it on my list. But it's not high priority, because the game is made to be a Defense game. I don't know how to balance a PvP game with the possibility of level 99 Gunners with level 1 Gunners.

The one idea I have thought of is some kind of simplified version of the game, more like Paint Ball. But otherwise I got nothing.

The fix is simple. Disable save/load in the mode until you figure out something better.

No ... save/load is the design of the game. To say removing it would lead to something better only shows that you do not understand the game. If everyone had to use new heroes, 99% of the game would be lost (along with 99.99% of its functionality). In fact, you SHOULD be able to make this map that you're referring to in a weekend.

I mean in all seriousness, just go play a Warlocks map.
