Soldiers

Description
[i]Some of you may recognize this map, it was hosted here for a short time but had to be romoved as the developer had entered it into a contest; One of the rules of this contest was that the map could not be available to the public. Now that the contest is over, the map has been re-submitted, although changed slightly, (including the title) it is once again available for your enjoyment.

Soultaker also requested that his readme be published as it is submitted...because the readme section does not except code, I will publish it here in the description fireld.

Enjoy.[/i]

[b]History:[/b]

This is a small map, which I have used an incredibly lot of time on used on, considering its gameplay. Also, if you could see the triggers you would see that I used hell of a lot of variables (around 91) in able to optimize it to the max in it's bomberman style.

It all started when I scammed through WC3JASS.com's forum, and I saw a post about a 2D tournament. Then the next 3 days I used some time making the general system for this map.
At first, it was full of bugs (like all my maps), but finally after 2 months this is what it has come to.

This later on entered in a contest on hiveworkshop.com , which it got a 16/20 score in. The direct link is here: http://www.s.hiveworkshop.com/bob27/mapcontest.htm .

[b]Instructions:[/b]

You start out my voting the settings for the fight. In total there are 5 different choices, 10 kills, 20 kills, 5 min, 10 min and 15 min.
Then you get a choice choosing your main weapon, a Flamethrower, a Rocket Launcher or a Shotgun (see stats further down).

The map consists of 35 different squares, set up in a 7 x 5 area, that just excactly fits the camera mode (see image).
Then you start out at a random spot in the map, and you have to move around using your arrowkeys. First click to turn, second to move.

Every once in a while (based on number of players), a powerup will spawn at a random spot, but you can read more about that further down.

The rest is pretty basic, you have to fight your opponents through whatever setting you have chosen using your weapons.
