Or you could have a string of campaigns that run across multiple maps. one for each continent.
An maybe revisit some of the same terrain with different objectives. For example if you had a map made in the campaign where you have to fight to reclaim South america , and then two maps later in the campaign you go back to that terrain for south america but this time you are already positioned their and you need to defend until whatever condition needs to be met. Btw imo not all the maps from a campaign should be about how you fight for the territory and win, should involve some loses for story purposes too. I LIEKS VARIETY.

How would that work in multiplayer?

Defending
Never said all missions were about attacking.

Variety
There will be plenty, Don't you worry

String of campaigns
Good idea but that would take up too much time
I've got other projects too

Multiplayer
Multiplayer campaigns = FAIL imo.

Are you saying first map of the campaign or first map ever?
Because if your saying first map ever your very wrong.

By the way you act and apparently have no idea about how things work, you give the perception that you are either a very poor or inexperienced mapper.

You need to be more subtle. You give the perception that you have never criticized a newb on a well moderated bored. Say something like "If you want to make something good, you should probably look into how triggers work. nextscenario() action does not work over b.net, but hey at least you're trying! Keep up the good work! PS. Try to push on through it when your brain starts hurting."

there's one thing I like to add about this project, it's gonna be a lot of work XD but I think it is cool to have several maps, if doing multiplayer the next scenario won't work but then you can always add some code of password for like map 2 and up, so lets say beating map 1 they give you a password to fill in for map 2, that work eh?

The only defect of this campaign is that you will have to go from mission to mission manually, my maps have to be played over battle.net because in single player some triggers refuse to work.
But it will not be multiplayer, still single player.

Wow, from the two screen shots, your terrain looks terrible. Allow me to show you a couple of shots from the campaign KK and I have been working on.

Look, if you aren't going to make a decent campaign, the best advice I can give is don't make one. Try harder, and if you do not have the ability to make a decent quality campaign at this point and time, than try something that's less work and easier. Defense maps and the like. Then try something to get more terraining experience. Learn that doodads are your friend and straight lines of bland terrain are the enemy.

Your terrain is very nice but, this is not badlands or space, this is antarctica. The frozen pile of useless ice we call the south pole, what do you expect? A winter wonderland?
No offense from this reply, I don't mean to sound mad at everyone, It's just the way I talk. Been around people like that for a long time, It kinda rubs off on you after a while

As bland as the landscape may actually be, that's a poor choice of location on your part. No one wants play a bland looking map, I don't care where it's supposed to be.

In all honesty, I think I'm fighting a pointless battle here. Trying to save a sinking ship by shooting at the deck really. No matter what I say, Malvanis is still the level of mapper that he is, and I still have the standards I have for a campaign. I don't think I'm getting any joy here, so I'll shove off and leave this to someone else. Ugh.

Not my fault the terrain is bland in antarctica. After antarctica terrain looks extremely better than before, Patience is golden, Don't expect the best at first, Just like life, Start out shitty and make your way into the good stuff.

Trust me, people wont care how Antartica REALLY looks if you make it look interesting.

By the way, you're story seems horrible. I hope you make something of it, because it would be the first Earth-based campaign that didn't suck.

Let me first ask, how old are you? Different ideas attract different audiences/age groups.

TheHappy115 -- Yea, thats the issue. Thanks. It would also explain why my deleted map couldn't get updated. Updated version reduced collision on units (only thing added) since was dodging game (players collide with each other)
