LOL. We just played a game there... Very nice idea and with a bit of imagination me and Bence were able to play a game somewhat similar to how the real chess work

Idd nice idea, just its too random, like the defender can also win the fight, like you attack with your militia against militia... So thats it. It was fun anyway. Tho my "tower" was sooo powerful... It killed: militia - sword - pike - warrior - scout, then died of the "King" (one by one, each turn an opponent..). Hahaha :p

Nice idea and map
i didn't play it because i am solo

shall i add it to the "Mini Game" topic?

It's not scripted. It's just a fighting map xD

Unfortunatelly, we cant make real chess with scripts now. But we can have fun on this map. On this map you can train micro controle, it's very important there.

Well.It'd be possible to reveal/cover the map for players to make it turn based. (nevermind... in my idea you can't even move troops yourself other than with builders/roads GUI, so that's not a problem ) But then, we probably need some sort of controls for moving the troops. I've got some idea but that'd be a bit complicated - you'd need to make 2 boards 8x8 full of builders (somewhere in the unused part of the map... you'd need more space on the map for that). If you placed a road 1st time, you'd choose which unit to move. If you placed a second one, you'd choose the destination. The script would kill off the unit and spawn it again on a new position (while also possibly killing off the enemy unit which was standing there).

(if we had sth like OnRoadPlanPlaced, it'd be muuuch easier Thankfully it got added onto the list, so let's hope we'll soon be able to do that )

add time clock would be nice

I think it'd be possible with a heavy script even now

WOW Nice idea guys I like classical chess, cannont imagine if it is working well now, but I will try

Knights are scouts. The irony!
