Battle of the Mezzanine

Hey guys been a while but I've been busy, I've got a new game scenario - A big battle, lots of fun..:D

Download - Solar.Filefront.com

In the corner of the Mezzanine, deep into the demilitarized zone, above a distant and forgotten Gas Giant named Boratai two large fleets of the Vasari Empire and the Trade Emergency Coalition fight it out in a major battle to decide the fate of the 10 year war.


This is just a battle done for the sheer fun of it, this is by no means a map that you can build up massive fleets on and have a 10 hour slug on.. the battle is already on with this baby, you simply wade through the enemy.

The Vasari have 302 Frigates/Cruisers and 52 capital ships led by General Caskrus

The TEC have 54 Capital Ships and 293 Frigates/Cruisers led by Fleet Commander Rosin

The objectives are simple - Last ship standing wins! The bases are located close to the proximity of the gas giant, in fact the TEC base is in orbit of the gas giant.


This map contains a lot of ships, and alot of flak fire. The management of this fleet in battle will be the greatest task, you will have to launch (build) all fighters, level up the capital ships properly and coordinate ungrouped ships into battlegroups while ensuring your fleet still fights to its potential. This battle calls in your RTS management abilities into question, choose as either side and have a dogfight that will go right down to the bone.

This should be an enjoyable battle to keep you busy for a while wink  I will be doing an entrenchement version when I download it and try it out :D

Please read the instructions carefully to get it working ingame.

It might, there is about 100 carriers in total but the battle is in full swing by the time you load up and if you set the AI on unfair you can be guaranteed that by the time the fleet assembles into a group (they are scattered) more than a few ships will be missing :) It worked fine on my PC and I have a hunk of junk thats three years old :)

I think the planets and stations are more laggier because their poly count is higher as are their texture resolutions and animations but there is only one planet on this map and very few stations.. If my crap Dimension 9150 can play this then anyone with sins can play it!

 

Try it out and let me know if its crap or not so I can improve it

I still am trying to modify the maps so the skyboxes are fixed and not random but I am unsure yet how to do so

 

 

Personally I was very disappointed by the way I did the Battle of Mazari, I felt it messed it up too much. I might go back and do it with all the battle units on the map already, I want you guys to look at large fleets and just say "yes, thank god I have so many cap ships to use"..and develop strategies based on massive fleets.. I dislike the fleet capping system, I think its too restrictive myself :)

Hi guys

thanks for the feedback, yeah if you place AI to be unfair it can be tough. The reason I made the map was just to give people the chance to have a massive slugfest around a planet, I particularly like the ending of the battle when both sides have a few ships fighting  through a massive debris field.

I'm gonna make more maps with proper strategy involved
