Battleships

Description
Buy Autofiring weapons and maneuver your ships to kill enemies. Destroy their base to win the game. 24 unique heroes and loads of custom items and abilities. Now with Co-Op survival mode.



Reborn!:

Survival Co-Op Update!

When all players going the south alliance they will activate this survival mode and fight waves on increasingly difficulty AI controlled hero ships that will use abilities and eventually overrun the players. The victory condition remains the same (destroy the enemy harbors or castle before your own are destroyed.


Battleships:

Boats go "Pew pew" as they seek confrontation with their enemies, and manouver to avoid range of autofiring weapons. Players save for larger boats with more powerful abilities as they balance the tradeoffs of different weapons and utility items.


Details:

The game play is similar to dota with a few notable differences:

- Players all start with in the same boat and can spend the gold they collect to upgrade their ship from the list of available ships. (There are currently 20 boats available, each with a custom model and set of abilities)

- Boats do not have a targetable main attack, instead, players purchase weapons which automatically fire at random boats in sight and within the range listed in the weapon.

- Each weapon has 3 basic tiers, and each tier can be purchased twice to combine to a "doubled" weapon of that tier.

- When a player has all three tiers of a weapon doubled they can purchase an "ultimate" recipe for that weapon with a special effect.

- Killing towers permanently increases the constant gold income for the team that kills the tower.

- All players receive a bonus splash of gold from their empires every 4 minutes to keep game play interesting and even.

- There are 4 main utility items, each with 4 tiers of power

@chmonya the discord on the loading screen (https://discord.gg/PWtfEWpY) is the best place. we have a group that plays on Thursdays around 6:30pm pst.

Tnx for the answer !
I used the same trick with making more dark color.
But I'm shocked that valve, don't do anything with editor from five years later.
No depth water. No various landscape, only tile-leveling with stairs, u can't create descent or more realistic pits, can't create any half-level tiles.

@Kejn its all one depth with different color painted on it. hop on the discord from the load screen and i can show you in hammer if you want.

@Landstalker I'll take a look this weekend and see if there is an easy way to make co-op be one lane. i likely wont make a new map as a single lane (that would make the mods file size way bigger for a niche game mode) but i could make an option where they just spawn on one half of the map and only go for one harbor.
