thank you, you can delete it now. just incase someone hasnt gone through it yet

Thanks for the understanding! If it helps for the sake of the plot, had you survived the final wave (which also empties the map) you get the text in my next comment (covered in spoiler tags).

Things get a lot more polished if and when you reach 29 Years Later :)

its fine, wouldnt even be shocked if it started to fall apart. updates typically do that to mods. thank you for responding. I think im just gonna move onto phase 5 because there is no real point to do it all again. love the scenarios!

@LCDC - sorry to hear you had a problem with the map ending like this; I've not heard of random failures on this map before. I've just loaded the map up in the editor and there are only 2 fail conditions on this map: the Command Center or Smith being killed. If neither of these happened then I don't know why it caused you to fail. The map was released 3 years ago so it's possible there is something since then that's corrupted it.

The final wave is day 56 so you were so close, and I appreciate how frustrating it is to have wasted your time like that so I can only apologise :(

ok so the town is named new stirling, but my command center never died. it was day 41, I was just cleaning up the wave and all of the sudden it just ended. max pop 1500 and only 9 civs dead... 9k infected killed. thats so dumb

it said a mission objective died, its name was stirling... who tf is stirling. smith was alive and well

@Nicol_Bolas - thanks and great to hear you enjoy the missions and variety!

Hello, I really enjoy your missions. These basically doubled my enjoyment of the game. They should pay you for this dude. These missions really force you to play differently then survival, each little bonus counts, you cant just take the map and spam executors + thanatos. Well done

@4ra - thanks and it's great to hear you are enjoying each Phase :)

@可以清心 - I will do a Chinese translation when all the maps are finished / 所有地图完成后我都会做中文翻译

@Vince - nice one thank you and more should be out soon!

@肉松饼 - thank you for the kind words and it is nice to hear it reminds you of the Red Alert days.


@The White Death - thanks for the feedback! Sorry the game crashed on you - I hope it hasn't happened since.

@Shade - thanks glad it feels like a new game and you will learn lots more about the characters soon!

I really enjoyed this one, let's go to phase 5!

my English no good.I need Chinese.translate

Great maps great story love it keep it coming!

Thanks for the interesting, hardware-friendly maps.
The quality is good, reminds me of those old days when playing red alert and starcraft.
I wouldn't be surprised if someone takes the story as the formal campaign released by Numantian Games.

On tunnel vision it crashed at day 33 for me, but other than that great story and gameplay i love it!

This is how you doing mods, when you play this game like.. A New game! I really wondering about characters especially ADA . Great work sir!

Phases 5 and 6 are nearing completion. Phase 5 is essentially finished and has been tested by 4 players. Phase 6 I am now about to start my first test run. Both maps are quite 'different' and should be out on Tuesday 29th Jan 2019 as planned :)

@AmmarBanyzahr - thanks. Adding hero pictures is something I considered, but there are two problems - 1) I would want to use a custom picture rather than the stock ranger/sniper one and I didn't really know where to start and 2) when I did try putting in a picture it takes up most of the screen and didn't leave any room for text. Not sure if it's changed in any recent patches but it just didn't work before. Definitely something I want to go through and add once all 12 maps are finished, but for now I'm happy for people to use their imagination :)

Nice work, feels like the game compaign.
Why don't you add pictures representing the hero when he reports something?

@POBmaestro

Dont worry, i understand. Silly things happen. Ive accepted the request - im happy to help. I wont be able to troubleshoot immediatly, most likely, as im either in another timezone than you or busy with 'commitments' in the 'real world'.

I can't find a way to recover the comment from @Blessings O'Babylon I accidently deleted. Sorry and I'm not sure why I'm allowed to delete other people's comments! But anyway below is the video @Blessings O'Babylon kindly made to show me the map reveal not working in their game:

https://youtu.be/ifqcyRMFtRo

And below is the video I made to show it working for me:

https://youtu.be/XGbyZ3Q9TCo

Clearly there is something bugged in the editor as it works 100% of the time for me and others but 0% of the time for some.

There is no sound in my video and the first pop-up is the 1hr pop-up and nothing to do with the script I'm trying to test.

@Blessings O'Babylon - I just accidently deleted your message :( I meant to delete a msg I posted as I wanted to add something to it but accidently double clicked :(

But I wanted to say wow thank you for taking the time to try several times and upload the results! Clearly the Map Maker is not working as intended for you with the map reveal script. You are getting the area trigger to tell you about something in the truck, and this message sets the custom variable "MapMaker" from "0" to "1". Then there is a script that says when MapMaker = 1 you should immediately get a 2nd pop-up saying the map is revealed. I'm going to send you a friend request as there are 3-4 quick and simple test maps I can upload for friends to try - if you don't mind trying them that'd be a great way to narrow down the problem! I've uploaded a short video to show how it works for me and others: https://youtu.be/XGbyZ3Q9TCo

@Evovl3r - thanks man that's much appreciated !

If anyone finishes Phase 4 and has nothing better to do then try Phase 4X (or even Phase 3X) if you want a challenge to see you through to Phase 5 & 6 being released :)

@teppic_mf and @denisfrankovic045 - thank you both for the feedback on the Map Maker. I just watched DeadyOptics stream this live and the Map Maker worked for him. There is nothing more I can do with the Map Maker script as it works fine for me and I think it is a bug with the game (I created a similar bug report for Phase 3).

For those interested....Phase 5 relies a lot on scripts but I know of some sneaky workarounds in case custom variables are bugged: instead of a custom variable I give say +10 wood in the background and then use the +10 wood as a trigger for the event - this doesn't work on base building maps otherwise you building a timber yard might trigger the event, but it will be fine for Phase 5.

@POBmaestro great campaign man you're the boss ! Loving it !

@teppic_mf worked for me

Love this map. Nice design, like the little bonuses you receive when exploring. If the 'Map Maker' was supposed to reveal the full map (I thought so at least), then that part did not work.

love this

@Sirsick hope you give it a try and see if it's hard enough! One question about your playthrough - did you find the Map Maker and if so did he reveal the map for you? It's the first time I've used a custom script and the next map uses lots of them!

@POBmaestro, damn did not notice that there is a harder version.

@SomeDevGuy - thanks very much for your great feedback!

@Sirsick - thanks, and it sounds like you need to try Phase 4X which is the much harder version :)

Thank you again. Nice map. No bugs encountered. About the map itself: Really easy with the amount of resources available. You can just put search on your snipers while thanatos takes the waves. 25 extra days for me after I cleared the map and the wave could not even get to walls. Needs to be harder.

Love this series! Great work. This is probably my favorite map in the series so far. Again, outstanding work, keep it up!

@fatjabber1 - no problem and glad you finished one! I thought this map would be harder than Phases 1 - 3 but I guess it depends on play style. Glad you got there in the end and hope you manage the other maps ok. Let me know if you need any tips :)

OMG ive finally finshed 1 first time im in shock, im a slow builder and liked the extra time on this. Thanks

@Mr.Timmers I'd recommend you read the guide made by the devs first:

https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1558159867

The best thing is to have a play yourself, but if you have any specific questions or get stuck at all I'm happy to help :)

Hi. I'm new to the scene of making TAB maps. I would really love some tips, if you have the time to give some.

lol, yeah I thought the name of the map style doesn't suit all of Yorkshire well - in my opinion it's one of the most beautiful parts of the country so Peaceful Lowlands would be better suited. But for the purposes of variety, the story and the difficulty of the mission I wanted like to use this map style :(

i feel like Phase 7 - "March of the Titan" - Desolated Wasteland (Yorkshire) – 3rd Feb 2019 should be "Peaceful Lowlands" as well.
only South Yorkshire is a "Desolated Wasteland"

That'd be great, thank you! I wasn't necessarily asking you directly but that would be very kind of you to try it again. Just make sure Steam does the update for you first. There was only 1 popup before and I've just changed it to 2 as the 2nd one is when the map is actually revealed (it was a silent event before). The Map Maker is now at the truck north of where he was :)

Ill give it a quick shot.

FWIW, unless you changed it, The map-maker event only ever gave me one pop-up. Found some old quiet dude in a truck, got a detailed map, dude went back to sleep.

Then the final wave showed up and back to base i ran.

I've swapped the position of the Map Maker with the supply truck. This should make it less likely that the Map Maker is the last reward you find. Please let me know if the Map Maker doesn't actually reveal the map for you - it uses a custom script which works fine for me and is pretty critical going forward. You should get two pop-up messages if the Map Maker works correctly.

@Blessings O'Babylon thanks for all the feedback and it's good to know the Titan feels well balanced. Sorry about frustrations with the Map Maker - it uses a custom script which like previous bugs works fine for me...I'll look into that and the location of the Map Maker. I wanted a good bit of exploration to be done before finding him, but if he's likely to be the last one found then I need to move him. Hopefully clearing the whole map of infected before the final wave made it a little less pointless!

Also I will tell you now to save the tears that I am dog lover and if anything Dog will be the last survivor. Unless they introduce dog units into the game ;)

A good map in a good series. I really like how you use units that people dont often use - Titans, Soldiers and the like - in a way that helps alleviate sniper spam. Its still effective, but in this map, using the Titan is more viable due to a low iron count.

Problems with this map: The Map Maker didnt work. It took me until day 54 to actually find the map maker, but when i did, nothing happened. Considering the trouble i went through to reach him, i felt cheated. It was kinda pointless, though, since i uncovered literally the entire map before finding him.

Level of difficulty was good, i enjoyed it. I dont like super hard maps, and if other people want that level of unfairness, they have your "X" version. Looking forward to Chapter 2.

Also, Dog is raising Death-Flags. Im already crying.

我很期待I am looking forward to it

@小斌 - Thanks and sorry you can't enjoy the story as well. I will look to do a Chinese translation once the series is complete :)

Google translate / 谷歌翻譯 :

@小斌 - 謝謝，對不起，你也不能享受這個故事。一旦系列完成，我會期待做一個中文翻譯 :)

真有很有趣，富有创意又有可玩性，要是有中文那就太好了。可惜我只能把描述页面的英文拿去百度翻译，至于游戏里的剧情我就没办法知道了。
