Arena Challenge Version 2.0 ( Hard )

Hey guys i'm back with another update of the Arena Challenge i think it is the most stable one! Although you might encounter some bugs yet please make sure to report them in the comment section or by messaging me in CnCnet.

Changelog:


  • Whenever you finish the mission now it says mission complete!
  • Now each wave spawns from a different location on a different timer.
  • Added v2's.
  • Upon building Airfield or Helipad you automatically lose ( Mission Failed )
  • Added some Tesla's for the early v2 Rush ( Like seriously have you even tried to challenge yourself)
  • Waypoints are now more organized and the tanks will stutter less and most likely will not get stuck.
  • Fixed some triggers and TeamTypes and Timers to suit the challenge.
  • The AI will now Hunt you whenever you expand Left or Right.
  • Lowered the difficulty by increasing the spawn time.
  • Challenge is a little easier with new settings.


Objective and Rules:

  • Destroy the AI MCV
  • Defend you base
  • Build/Tank your way towards the AI
  • Color must be set to YELLOW
  • Dominate the map (By dominating more spots the AI will tend to split and follow you which makes it harder for you)
  • Multiple players can Team Up for the challenge but make sure to select teams before you jump into the game cause it is not possible to ally during the game.
  • Money start at 10K ( Unless you feel it is too hard for you )


Some worth info and tips to be shared:

  • Do not make a barracks cause already a GPS is set.
  • Try to manage your ore before the next wave starts it definitely help.
  • Make sure to mix building with tanking as it can help vs the V2's.


Note:

  1. You may be able to finish the challenge as fast as possible within a low time, infinite money, or even tricking the AI by exploiting or in some way to make him stuck, but the point if it is taking it up to full potential by expanding tanking building and not aiming for the win remember we play for fun and building up our skills, it is like a Player rushing another Player just to win him and not by challenging himself to win in different strategies and building up his skills. In the end this map is designed for you and only for you to enjoy and and build up your skills there is no win/lose status here just player development and more introduction to map.
  2. As you may see in the videos posted below there were different tactics used like for me i wanted to test my skills to the extreme i tried expanding and dominating the whole map which made it harder for me to manage everything, as in for Commander he have done it without a single tank which is still pretty hard to defeat countless waves by only making teslas and watching out for powers and ore and for cousinleigh well he needs to upload is video to understand his different build technique.


Later versions of the Challenge later will be posted ( Easy Mode ). Make sure to comment on what changes you'd like to see or any new features and suggestions.

Finally I would like to thank all the players that played and finished the map and made tests so far and gave many suggestions and contributed such as [Commander-TA] cousinleigh cousinclaus and many others. And a special thanks to InaniaAiX3 for contributing in Triggers and TeamTypes and handing out some new ideas to help balance the challenge and make it more stable and for spending so much time for it.

Enjoy your challenging practice and make sure to post some comments about the content.

Cheers and happy practicing.

Great job MadMan by making these maps! I can imagine it's a big effort to edit such maps and code the AI behaviour, so thanks again for your commitment and contribution to our community! I'm also glad I could participate to the initial testing phase, thanks! :)

Cheers,
Commander
