Topic: Battalion: Arena / ways to beat reason 2 and 1

Oh the noobiness, Urbansquall is not on Kongregate anymore. And no one can get in touch with him, so this problem will most likely never be fixed. Just find a new game and move along.

Topic: Battalion: Arena / My maps, and yours (Campaign series too)

Any one know how long the server is going to be down? I wanted to work on a map, but can’t connect.

- Stay Swiss (not being involved) when possible as it rewards the most.

You can’t really say that rewards the most in this game, if you “Stay Swiss” too long it will give you a morale penalty for not attacking recently, in this game I believe being offensive towards anyone not on your team will reward the most. Especially once you get the 100% morale bonus.

Just because you don’t instigate attacks, doesn’t mean you don’t defend an attack. Also, there are many ways for a Swiss to engage with one attack so they don’t morale. I’ve heard the “well, I had to attack you so I don’t lose morale” several times in my carrier. Lastly, it never hurts just to sacrifice an infantry for morale.

I should point out I don’t respect the Swiss strategy. I will also always respect the players who make calculated assaults. Unfortunately, most maps generally mean you have to continue the attacks until you’ve reached a big milestone: player dead, captured factory, took out all their rockets, etc.

True, true. I think it would be cool if you could change your alliance in game. Like send another player a team request, and then they could accept or deny it.

Published a new version of Custom Coop Fortress. It is now a 4 player map :D. Tell me what you think.

Great map, and a very nice use of scripting. I like how the map forces you to use team work, unfortunately I played with AI so I got no help from them, lol. The beginning dialogue impressed (and scared) me when it said all the players names. How did you do that??

5/5 ☺

Topic: Battalion: Arena / My maps, and yours (Campaign series too)

Glad you enjoyed it, I’m currently working on a version for two people to fight each other with no AI

Topic: Battalion: Arena / My maps, and yours (Campaign series too)

I’m bumping this topic with a new map, The Outskirts. Please test it out and reply.

It’s my first map in quite a while, but I think it’s still pretty good. Player 2 should be AI!!

I scripted the map so that if you kill an enemy unit you get a copy of that unit for your team. For example if you kill a Strike Commando you get one for your team. This helps Player 1 a lot since they start out very underpowered.

NOTE: The script only effects ground units.

Topic: Battalion: Arena / New Units!

☺ ☺ Congrats on 100 pages!! ☺ ☺
I wish legodude was still around to see his thread make it this far.

I remember when this thread was still just beginning, it was filled with creative and original ideas. Now it’s just a bunch of re-posts. =(

Topic: Battalion: Arena / Zombies

Why a whole thread to discuss a single map? Use this thread to discuss maps.

reviving thread though, cuz new zombie map is coming out (not soon…)

Reviving is a good idea.

Also, our community has always been so slow, but it turns out to be even slower than usually. Perhaps less people are enjoying the game these days.

If only we had more activity…

P.S Good luck making the 2nd zombie map. :)

I think the activity of the community has slowed incredibly, probably because I’ve been gone for too long =) [jk]

I believe the community won’t be as active as it once was, unless there’s a major update of the game.

Hehe. I didn’t even post in this thread yet, koolaid.

Lol, I meant modvenger! My bad, don’t know how I got you two confused =)

@parkerdan: Thanks, heres some more… ☺ ☻ =)
(Just press ‘alt’ and ‘1’ on the numb-pad at the same time) (Or ‘2’ instead of ‘1’)

I see what your saying conqueror, lol.

Topic: Battalion: Arena / My maps, and yours (Campaign series too)

Brain teaser two was nice, looking forward to a third. 5/5

Don’t rush it though!

Topic: Battalion: Arena / FFA rant

Modvenger it seems you always speak wisely, but negatively. Most of your posts are rants, I’m not trying to start a fight. I just think you should think positively =)

☺No hard feelings!☺

in the mean while i has created a brain teaser 1 map

The brain teaser map rocks! You should totally make more. 5/5

Topic: Battalion: Arena / Zombie Survival

Awesome map saddam!! It’s so addicting, 5/5. I’ve only played with AI so I won’t post my round count since it kinda sucks.

sry but where and how did u get ur cortex ? i torrented one but i cant unlock full version ..i have windows 7 and it’s really uncompatable with a lot of things

I sent you a PM, we shouldn’t be discussing this in the forums =)

looks like an awesome game! (cortex command)kind of hard to find good old fashioned games like these now adays- everything is either flash (not big enough to be fun) or 3d (which can be horrible unless the game makers are relly good) lol

Agreed, and if you want Cortex Command without wasting $10 just type “Cortex Command torrent” into Google. Choose one of the first 3 sites, and download with Utorrent =)

thanks for review!
we should also use this thread more- it’s like it’s one of the few threads that aren’t about ’who’s better than who at map making’

Haha, that’s so true!

However I probably won’t be on battalion to much anymore, I’ve moved on to modding for Cortex Command. In my opinion, modding is much more rewarding than scripting. You could make your own units, weapons, and crafts ect

Originally posted by saddaminsane:

does anyone even use this thread anymore?

Apparently no, but don’t worry I’ll give it a bump. I checked out “1 3 VS 2 4” It was a nice map, the scripting was nice as well. I like the spawn points, although after a while you end up with too many units. Still really good though. 5/5 =)

Not a bad idea…

@mixersoul: Good point

Topic: Battalion: Arena / #1 Pet Peave

Ladies, ladies, ladies! You should know how to behave in public, didn’t your mother’s teach you any manners? Both of you are clearly fixed on your statements, so no matter how much you argue both of you will still have the same mind state in the end.

I’m not going to take sides with either of you, since you both look like fools, but I will recommend both of stop before the whole topic is locked.
