-Defend your castle: Omega edition-

Forward: After the release of Hugum's "defend your castle", I tried to rack my brain to think of something with the same basic concept, but 10 times as inovative and origonal. And so I eventually (with the help of Doomonkey).
Constructed this masterpeice of zombie fighting games.

-Comparing the two-

Similarities:
  • Basic concept of defending a castle against zombies, allowing the host to control how zombies spawn, and money/wave counters
  • Ability to buy upgrades from a store

Differences:
  • Build design (obviously)
  • The shop list can be found useing a /cmd instead of on the battlefield.
  • Money is displayed with events instead of a box panel
  • Different weapons

Changes:
  • Made it 4-way zombie spawns, so zombies attack on all sides instead of just one.
  • Removed the ability to spectate and join at leasure, Made player revival every 3 turns


NEW Features: (besides previously listed ones)
  • Tech levels, these are required for some weapons/upgrades
  • Item requirements, specific things must be purchased before others can be
  • Defencive weapons, mortars and machine gun nests

Weapons used
  • Crowbar (default weapon)
  • M9
  • Medikit
  • Lupara
  • Old-school rifle
  • Propane-tank
  • TF2 Medigun
  • Flamethrower
  • MP7
  • HE gernade
  • Flak cannon
  • MGL (mini-gernade-launcher, this was deigned by Heedicalking)
  • P90
  • RPG-7

Credits
  • Rykuta: helpcode, and events (LOTS of eventing (128 zombies))
  • Doomonkey: Building designs
  • Icecube: General assistance

Rate X/10

Oh and pix are below (hopefully)

Locked: Stupid comments.

Should add an in-game shot. Whoever build it must have been cool...


wow, it looks like you took a castle and then slapped it onto a perfectly normal and flat patch of land



also there's a limit to how intricate you can get with this kind of thing.

Looks pretty cool. Also, MGL: Multiple Grenade Launcher.

True.

Might want to tone down on the colors, it hurts my eyes.

Who is this IceCube swine!?

Anyway, looks nice.

"Omega edition"

By law of greek alphabet and physics, you are no longer permitted to make Defend your castle builds with the public announcement of Omega edition, slated to be your last and final Defend your Castle build by choice of name alone.

Have a nice day,
~Rky, PR department.

P.S. Alternatively, you can bypass this by calling your next one "Zombie Defense" or something of that sort.

Or get an original and logical name.

That's not necessarily true. Just because Omega, Ω, is the last letter of the Greek alphabet, does not mean it has to represent a last version. It may be commonly used to make as a representation for a last version, but that doesn't make it a law of your
physics
Maybe we're walking away from the crowd you seem to be trapped in...

but 10 times as inovative and origonal

I find this statement pompous. For one, it's not more innovative because you used alot of his basic principals and added some bells and whistles. It's not more original because he already made one.

Omega literally means end, last, final. Protip: its commonly used for final versions BECAUSE IT MEANS FINAL.

You don't use it because it "sounds cool" or something.

Not a fan of the build.
