Hello fellow Uniwarriors! Ive been planning to do a credit buy in FFA game for quite some time now! If interested please let me know! Here is the map link!
[link://1,52845,(7) EARTH 3 RISK WW3 FFA,0,8]
GETTING STARTED
(1) The game will start on the 10th of July 2017! (Or untill all the slots are filled, after this date)
(2) Each (successful) player will pay 100 credits to participate.
(3) The 7 highest ranked player's (including myself) will be chosen to participate in the game!
SETTING UP THE GAME
(1) I will roll 1 or 2 dice, to determine everything... the first thing i will determine is player positioning... (2 dice) lowest number is player 1, highest number is player 8 ... if any rolls are the same as anothers, i will re-roll for both of them to determine who goes before the other.
(2) I will roll 2 dice to determine who is your ally! I will roll 2 dice repeatedly untill 2 players roll the same dice, they will become allies through the entire game! Their fate lies with eachother! (You loose if they loose)
(3) i will then roll dice for each player to determime their race! Numbers 1-6 ... 1&4 sapien, 2&5 titan, 3&6 khral (allies can not have the same race)
RULES
(1) Surrendering is not an option! Fight untill defeated! There is only one exception, you MUST surrender Immediately if your ally is defeated! (No you may not take one last turn before surrendering, as soon as the admin message says your ally was defeated, you must at this point surrender)
(2) All communication must stay within global game chat, no persoanal messages (please be honest)
(3) All participants please send 100 unicoins too MasterYoda, there will be a total of 800 unicoins for the winning team, the winning team will split the winnings, 400 unicoins each.
(4) You cant make any allies during the game, you and your ally are the only friendlies, everyone else is an enemy. No formal naps or peace treaties can be made. No asking other alliances directly to do anything, such as saying "dont attack me" or "attack that alliance"
(5) NO SKIPPING
ADVICE/TIPS
(1) Play Honest
(2) Follow The Rules

Your imaginative mind amazes me 
|
|
|
|
Sounds fun
|

|

I have no idea how to make these custom videos and the rest lol.
|
|
|

Wow. Really cool work. I tried using the bitcoin donation. But the link does not work, also great work on custom game editing. Maybe we can also edit player 1? Maybe change what player position I wanna be in?
|
|
|
|
Sorry another question. Sapiens will only kill infector if the infector crosses the road tiles or if any khral unit crosses the road tile?
|
|
|
|
So if a khral player attacks another khral player are they traitor KHRAL? survivalist khral can also attack khral and not be traitor khral? Also can we build more infectors to decrease our chances of having to surrender?... do I understand that in first 15 rounds we can kill sapiens as long as we don't pass the road tiles? We won't get attacked by sapiens for this? If we kill engineer / scientist we will advance regardless to anything else that happens? Weather we surrender from infector death or not? ... khral 1234 are all different objectives depending on what we do and if we complete those objectives correctly we advance? On top we have hidden goals...hope ingot that all correctly... Looks really fun!!

I would prefer random matches. (Not that your own matches are no good) but I prefer hearing your thoughts on what you think others are thinking, when they make their moves. But high level players 2400+ would be very helpful. Ranked matches rather than tourneys

I personally get the most out of high level players playing 1 vs 1. Helps me become a better player.

Map Makers Guide
Hello Uniwarriors. I thought I would make my first and own forum, to share my own personal knowledge on building maps!
1. I would like to start off by saying there is no secret formula to making maps (it’s all about your own personal relative view or preferences. Every Uniwarrior has their own opinion on what is a good map. There is a more popular majority view also.
2. So when building maps don’t get disheartened! It’s easily done, once you start putting a lot of time and effort into bringing Uniwar well balanced and even fun maps, and then you test them with friends and high level players. You finally get the required votes to hit the random ranked level, and then BOOM! The negative votes start flooding in! So make your peace with it now! All modern maps made in the time of the latest ranking system will eventually fail. The requirements for ranked maps are 25 total votes and I think it has to keep at least 60% positive votes (the % may be higher than that) the more votes you get the harder it is to keep the % up. At the beginning you will get a lot of friendly votes (its normal) once the initial votes come in. there are not many others that vote at all (I’m talking like less than 1% of players vote at all. And you will get a lot of players who vote down blindly!
3. So once you have made your peace with these facts, you can begin focusing on the real goal of map making. (That is if your desire is to make random ranked maps) there are other desires like making purely fun maps or quests. The real goal of the map maker is to focus on what the Uniwar players want, finding out what Uniwarriors want from a map can take time. You can learn what others want from maps in a few ways. One asking yourself, would I want to find myself in a random ranked game on this map I’m making? If no, that’s most defiantly the first clue it’s not going to be popular. You can also ask your friends or more importantly global chat. Players on Uniwar always enjoy throwing in their opinions. But the most effective way to know what Uniwar players want is the hardest and longest way! Just working hard on maps and then stalk your maps watching how fast the negative votes come in. the slower the negative votes come the better the map is. Eventually you will find a Goldilocks  zone for making maps. A place where the negative votes appear to be the slowest.
4. Once you have learned what the average Uniwarror likes or the global demand is for maps, you’re in good shape! Build maps, test them with your friends, and gather votes to get it into random ranked circulation! Let your map face on the brutal public! Getting it into circulation may seem like hard work, but its watching your map slowly get slaughtered until it gets unranked that really tires you out. Just remember when it is unranked, try not to stress, all maps are imbalanced one way or another, and therefore all maps have a reason for being unranked eventually. Its more about making a map that players are happy to put up with for some time
5. So now it’s time for me to share my tips, hints and suggestions to help you build a good map! (remembering what I say is not the only way to make a map, or even necessarily the right way to build a map, like I said before everyone has their own style and opinions on what a good map looks like or plays like) I’m only sharing my own experiences on building maps and what I personally have learned from the public from what their votes tell me and what they actually tell me. Also the higher my level or rank has gotten, my idea of a good map has dramatically changed! This is due to a better understanding of the units and the map tiles and how the effect EVERYTHING.
6. So the first thing I like to do when starting on a map, is putting a random tile right in the very most right bottom corner of the map or the very most south east corner of the map, this locks the map grid into a 30 x 30 grid. Then I set the map to symmetry and find the center of the grid. This helps weather your wanting to make symmetrical maps, none symmetrical maps or crazy weird shaped maps. Simply finding the center of the grid helps me feel less trapped by the edges of the grid. There’s nothing worse than spending many days building a map only to find that you can add tiles to the west because you’ve hit the edge of the grid. So find the center and play there.
7. There are many factors and thoughts you need to keep in mind before building maps, during your map build, and finalizing your maps. I will list many as I can here in simple form and move onto a more detailed description of them all. (1) You need to think about what sort of size you want your map to be. (2) You need to think about how many credits per turn you want coming out of the game, in other words how many credits per base. Also thinking about the starting credits too. (3) You need to think about what kind of units you want being played on your map, all of them, or specific units? (4) You need to think about all races, are all races equally balanced? (5) You need to think about units and base starting positions. You need to check whether it’s a rush, defence or build up map.
8. (1) So when considering what size map you want to build, the real trick is to simply start small and simple and slowly build up in size until you reach a size you enjoy. This will support you to not have loads of unnecessary tiles that serve no purpose. If you start swiping the whole grid with plain tiles and then wonder when you’re going to place other tiles afterwards you’re going to find yourself working extra hard to make the map look fun and balanced. So start small and slowly build out until its looks good! (2) You need to think about your starting credits and how many credits you want per turn, this is so very important. No matter how good your map is, if you don’t get the starting credits and credits per turn right, you could ruin all your hard work. With starting credits I find that people don’t like a 0 credit start, and most of the time don’t like starting credits over 200. As player one you generally get a starting move advantage, so don’t also give them 250 or more so they can pump out marauders (or something alike) and start destroying the enemy before they can even get their own units off their base much less capture their own bases. You also need to consider with starting credits what player two will get on round one. Generally no more than 450 credits as the reverse can happen, allowing player two to build two marauders (or something alike) and start crushing player one who couldn’t even build one marauder (or something alike) on his first turn. This is only one example of a good starting credit balance. There are many others, but this is an easy safe bet. Sometimes player one could have 700 starting credits and player two could have 1400 on turn one. This does not necessarily mean it’s unbalanced, it’s all about weather player one and player two both have fair advantages in some way. There are too many examples to really get into them. (3) you need to think about what kind of units you want to be played on the board, whether it be all of them or specific units, this all defends on the kind of map you have built, depending on the size, location of bases, amount of bases as well as the tiles you have placed down on your map. All these factors will decide what units you will end up being seen played on your map. If for any reason there’s a unit that is doing really well, but you don’t want that unit being played on the map, maybe you need to think about editing the above mentioned factors. For example if you have a lot of mountain tiles and forest tiles, you can expect marines (or something alike) start removing these tiles and put another tile there, like plains or swamps. There are many other examples, but I hope you get the point. (4) You need to think about all races, are they balanced? Main points of the three races are, Khraleans are quick so make sure you have not placed an underling too close to enemy in a way that it can stop them from capturing their own starting bases, or if there are uncontested bases in centre of map, make sure Khralean underling can rush the centre and win purely out of capping a centre base that no other race even had a chance to capture (personally I avoid building maps with an uneven amount of bases on the board or even a central uncontested base, those kind of maps usually turn into a who can capture the base first, and there are quests for that, so maybe your more of a quest map maker! (5) You need to think about where your bases are going to be located, owned and unowned bases. Usually it’s a good idea to have some bases unowned in order to have the correct starting credits for a game, depending on the amount of bases and your settings for starting credits will determine how many bases probably should be uncaptured. Where your bases are located can dramatically change the dynamics and tactics of a game. So many examples that it’s probably best I don’t cover them all. Generally its challenging to balance a map if opposing bases are within a few hexes from each other, generally the player with race advantage will trample all over the disadvantaged player, Titans – Khraleans / Khraleans – Sapiens / Sapiens – Titans … but bases should not be too far either. Titans generally rule the far away base maps (assuming that all players’ bases are in one area) bases spread out generally helps out Sapiens. Lots of bases generally will help Khraleans
9. Lastly there are so many different things you need to keep in mind that I couldn’t possibly cover them all, and even if I could, I wouldn’t be able to remember them all at once! Everyone and a while I would think to myself “oh yeah, that’s something to remember about building maps” I can always add extra information at a later date or edit this forum. Also I can edit this forum, to keep up to date with all the extra tips. Please feel free to comment on any factors I did miss while handing out these tips.

So how does the scout role work? He gets no fog of war? I don't see how that is an advantage, wouldn't the enemy also get the no fog advantage?
