Nice looking map indeed, gonna give it a try when I'm home. I'm also thinking about making a HOMM III themed map, thx for the sprite resource webpage you showed me Drum :)

Edit: there's one jump I just can't figure out :/

I'm glad that U all like the map!  :)

@Husk, dude it's my first BR map, there are like 8 long replays of making it + Photoshopping.. I needed some time to figure it all out.. xD + I didn't liked it when first finished so I changed it for few times again.. It's all messed up..  :-X
But now that I know how, I'll make some more for sure and then I'll save replays for U, np..  :)

@Pranksta, U will figure it out, I have no doubt..  ;)

Sorry _ssm_ but I can't accept your record time as it's not by the rules. Rules says that you have to finish the whole map in one turn. Your turn has ended before you have reached the FINISH and your worm "sits" on the FINISH in another turn. Together that's two turns, not one.

I thought that it's implicit, but maybe it's my mistake not to be more detailed about the rules so here's an add-on:
- When reaching FINISH do not lose your turn due to falling from too high.

Wee, finally figured out that jump, now time to look for shortcuts, because my default time is around 400 :D

Now I'll just wait for Mablak.

Gj Pranksta at taking over the 1st place, and gj ssm to take the 3rd place! (for now)  ;)
Deadline is in 2 days and 23 hours from now on.. If I get new records in that time, I'll expand the deadline for 4 more days, is that ok with you?

Or for Dulek.

Btw, this can be done under 300. ;x

Damn, Dulek, you know something I don't! Gotta find out what it is..

Battle race is getting more and more popular. I wonder if it needs it's own category ...
Title: Re: Challenge #179, Tribal Battle Race
Post by: Prankster on November 25, 2012, 06:49 PM
I think yes, and it needs a different name as well btw. Something like "walk race".

I wonder what's the etymology of the term battle race. I like it as it is though.

Yeah, what we do here is actually a Walk Race, it's a variety of the original Battle Race cause it's without the weapons. In original Battle Race there are some weapons that are used to put back your opponent or to make a progress in the retreat time.. I guess that's where the name comes from..  ;)

I'd love to see walk-race using fast walk. I think it is much more fun than normal walk. It gives the feel of speed!
Title: Re: Challenge #179, Tribal Battle Race
Post by: Prankster on November 25, 2012, 09:27 PM
I'm afraid that'd make getting on positions harder.

Of course you're right. I knew that but somehow went over my head.

mmmh I couldnt be assed verifying, but wouldnt that make positionning for precise jumps harder?


Also, 2 days left??? where was I??? gotta submit a time omg! :D

Haha, hi, Drum! :) I let you know that I have a 313s run already, so if you happen to beat my current time, don't feel so secure :P
Title: Re: Challenge #179, Tribal Battle Race
Post by: MonkeyIsland on November 26, 2012, 04:38 AM
doesn't fast walk process start from normal speed then getting speed up? I think those tiny walk to find the best place won't be any difference from normal walk.
Title: Re: Challenge #179, Tribal Battle Race
Post by: Dulek on November 26, 2012, 01:50 PM
You're right MI, little taps at precise positioning don't affect anything.
Title: Re: Challenge #179, Tribal Battle Race
Post by: MonkeyIsland on November 26, 2012, 03:09 PM
we demand adding fast walk?!
Title: Re: Challenge #179, Tribal Battle Race
Post by: Prankster on November 26, 2012, 10:56 PM
By positioning I don't only mean stopping and tapping the arrows. Positioning can be also releasing the arrow at the right time. And that would be harder with fastwalk, IMO. But I don't know shit about worm movement tbh.
Title: Re: Challenge #179, Tribal Battle Race
Post by: lacoste on November 26, 2012, 11:50 PM
Go easier maps, fast walk and 150% speed mode. I used to play that variation and was quite fun, different tho.

Ok, since there was not much "time attacks", I won't expand the deadline.
If I receive new records until the challenge is over, I'll expand it for 2 or 3 days more.
I hope everyone is ok with that. ?

we demand adding fast walk?!

I've been playing a lots of kaos these days and there are lots of walking/jumping with fast walk in it, and yeah fast walk is a feature I've suggested to Husk when he was hosting "Fruity Jumps" or the other BR challenge.. I also think we should try it in the next one. But I also think it should be just a try. Not as default in any way.. Maybe even that TransparentWatersWK if it gets legal, why not? ;o
Also yeah, It's more accurate if we call it "Walk Race Time Trial", I agree with that.
Also, I'm in process of making a new "Walk Race" map called "Rock n' Roll Walk Race" and I could host another WR challenge if somebody already didn't wanted to do the same?
Drums and a guitar and some speakers..  Looking good by now..  ;x

Ram, I only didn't send in a new record because it's still not better than Dulek's. But I'm trying all the time, I did 313 already.
Title: Re: Challenge #179, Tribal Battle Race
Post by: Prankster on November 28, 2012, 10:50 PM
Is there a way to merge replays?

Post by: Ramone on November 28, 2012, 11:18 PM

1st place  - Dulek
2nd place - Prankster

See ya soon in another Walk Race Time Trial challenge!  ;)
