Been thinking about a castle defense map of sorts. I don't know if you can do this, so please provide input if you have experience in making contra maps.

The idea is to setup a multiplayer map for 6-8 players, where 2 players are on one corner of the map, in some fortified terrain with cannons and bunkers. The others get ample resources and live in a wider field on the rest of the map.

The twist is that the 2 players will have 4 or more Nuke Storms in their territory. I am not sure if that's possible, but can you have a Nuke Storm be an unoccupied building on the map and then have a player take it over (like an oil-well)? For good measure, there would be some power plants or reactors, too, so that a GLA team could make use of the storms as well.

So then the game would unfold where the 2 defending players take over the Nuke Storms, effectively giving the other 4-6 attacking players a count-down to armageddon. If the attackers manage to cut through the defenses or disable the nuke storms, they would win the game shortly thereafter. If the defenders can hold on, they can blast away most if not all of the attackers bases and equally win.

Sounds like fun to me, except I haven't built a map before and don't know if all this is possible.

Any thoughts?

This seems like a preset multiplayer scenario. Making such scenario is possible. I think even the fan can do it (with mapping/scripting skills).

We already have a map like this, it's a co-op map where 2 players defend a Nuclear Storm and the other 2 must destroy it.

I am interested. Do you have the name of the map and is it in the map pack, or can I download it somewhere?

It is not working yet.

You cant check it with 007 version,many things will be missing.

I have been working on maps like these. An old member, Pals7 helped me with it.
Eventually i didn't finish the AoD maps. Mostly due to some weird bugs i wasn't able to solve.
Once 008 is out i might pick it up again.
Maybe you can find the map in an old post on cnclabs.

(Il try to find it, it's quite an old one, but it might serve as a demonstration, il send it if you wanna see it.)
