>>I haven't get used to how all the features of the map creation works yet,

>>
>>I haven't wrote the documentation for the map yet, so here is the
>>information to get you started:
>>
>>The story:
>>It's war in your country. The war has come to your town, and soldiers has
>>reached your house.
>>A family is trapped in their house, one person is locked in each room. The
>>soldiers have stolen the keys to the house and locked the doors.
>>
>>There is the following family members:
>>Tom: The dad. A strong man who have a very powerful attacks and have lots
>> of
>>HP.
>>Molly: The mother.
>>James: the son
>>Lilly: A three year old girl who's too young to attack. She have more
>> turns
>>than the others, and she's ment to run around and deal out medkits which
>>heals the other players.
>>
>>Skils:
>>There are both attack skills, a kicking skill and a weapon which can be
>>picked up and used. the skills do random amount of damage to make
>> attacking
>>more interesting.
>>
>>strategies:
>>I've tried my best to build the map so people can use many different
>>strategies to beat the game. I think I'll let the player figure out most
>> of
>>the possibilities on the own and not mention those in the documentation.
>> One
>>tip I'll give though is that every furniture in the house can be used as
>>protection, but keep in mind that they can get destroyed.
>>
>>Known bugs:
>>The only bug I've found so far is the attack skils which have two tiles in
>>range also works through the walls. I'm not sure on how to fix this.
>>
>>You can get the map here:
>>https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9791433/Protect%20the%20house.zip
>>
>>Oh by the way, I've made my map in the latest official release of Tactical
>>battle, not the developer version. I haven't tested if the developer
>> version
>>works with my map, and I'm not sure on how to update my map so it'll work.
>>
>>I look very much forward to hear your feedback, both good and bad.
>>
>>Have an awesome weekend.
