Reclaiming Earth - The Terran Campaign

The Storyline

After a great war with the protoss, the Terrans were weak in forces.
While they were rebuilding their homes, and putting troops together, the Zerg took their chance and attacked.
While having no backup, the Terrans retreated until all of the planet was lost, after facing a terrible defeat the
Terrans made a camp in Antarctica and did their best to stay alive.
Now, they are building up to take over Antarctica, then the rest of the world.
The Zerg and the Protoss have heavily populated Earth, and are warring for the planet themselves.
It is your job, as the commander of this camp, and the remainder of the Terran race, to Reclaim earth itself.

Gameplay
Gameplay will be a challenge to all, since the starting point in the game is Antarctica, it will be tough. As we all know: Antarctica has almost no resources and is barely liveable.
So, there will be limited space, small resource amounts, gas will be in hard-to-find places and enemies will horde what they have.

Missions 1-3 will be based on claiming Antarctica.
Missions 4-7 will be South America.
Missions 8-11 will be North America.
Missions 13-14 will be Europe.
Missions 15-17 will be Africa.
Missions 18-22 will be Asia.

When I have more to say about gameplay I will let you know.

What was the purpose of those images? Why are you going against SC canon? Moar details please?

Images were to show what the terrain would be like after zerg taken over earth.
Wtf is this?
What more would you like to know?

Plz provide more about the newne and uniqueness of the characters and gameplay! Why should I play this and not some other RPG that has already proven its worth. These details are crucial if you want someone to gain interest in the map and do the terrain for you!

Yeah, what is SC canon?

Good luck combining the ashlands or whatever of the first picture with the icelands of the third. They are kind of helpful for telling about the flavor of the map, I guess. Oh and just randomly, that first pic is my wallpaper

Nothing.

You post this in ums 'theory', you your screenshots of the map are just blizzard splash screens, you don't knwo what canon, you give your self redundant credit, and you make the same general features statement: "Unique heroes!/quests!/spells!" And to top it all off you can't think of anything else that describes the map when directly asked.

That's all I need to know.

This topic got reported because you have no screenshots of your map. I suggest you get some.

Also, care to tell us more about the gameplay? What should we expect to make us want to play this campaign rather than something else? Any super-sweet custom AI? This stuff should be in your topic post.

... Also, this isn't even in the Maps in Production sub-forum.

Canon is generally the officially supported version of events in a fictional universe. Your basically making a new campaign for the Terrans, correct?

I learnt a new word today

Apparently there are no innovative or interesting ideas in your map that bear mentioning... Not something to be posted here mate.

I'm moving this to Map Production. I also recommend that you get some screenshots up ASAP.

>>Moved

ONE THIS IS NOT EVEN STARTED YET, I HAVE NO MAPS!!!!
For heros, I have been working on their backgrounds and such, I need you people to be patient with that.
This was wrongly moved, there are no maps, I did not say there were maps yet, Why do you think I was asking for a terrainer? I would do some maps myself, But I would need help with other parts.

FOR THE CREDIT OF IDEA: I CAME UP WITH THE ZERG TAKING OVER EARTH, I AM NOT GOING AGAINST OTHER THINGS.

YES: I AM MAKING ANOTHER TERRAN CAMPAIGN THAT TAKES PLACE IN THE FUTURE, BEFORE SCII

No one cares about the nothing that you posted. Repost when you have interesting ideas.

No need to be snide, madroc.

The UMS Ideas forum is more for ideas that can be applied to mapmaking in general, and sometimes experimental maps are made to test them. I didn't feel this campaign applied, and was more appropriate in Production. Good luck with it. As a campaign maker myself, I know that it isn't always easy to post screenshots of a finished product, since an idea you have in the last map may require that you change something in the first. But please keep us updated, and post screenshots of your work in progress.

Look, I don't have screenshots. I don't have maps. I can't give you screenshots.
I will keep you updated on everything else.

That's fine. I hope you do well with it. I just wanted to clear up any misunderstandings about why it was moved.

Character Backgrounds, Stats, and Gameplay have been updated.

That's actually pretty cool. Maybe the terrain could be a map of the world.

What tileset do you propose that it be set on? Of course ice world would be best for Antarctica, and badlands maybe for North America, and desert for africa, and jungle for south america... but of course that's impossible

I would suggest trying to add some innovative ideas to add to the interest of the map. The fact that the wraith has a fleet following it is pretty innovative, keep thinking, especially some bigger ideas.

Thanks, I'm going to post some terrain for mission one here in a few minutes or so, for terrain I'm going to use maps of each continent and you will progress through each part of that continent until you claim the whole continent.
You'll see about antarctica when I post the pics

How about having a couple of maps where you defend continents from the Zerg and Protoss instead of attacking? They probably won't just stand idly while you attack all of their bases.

Maybe you could have just a continent or two where that happens, that would be pretty cool.

Or you could have a string of campaigns that run across multiple maps. one for each continent.
