My eyes man, you're hurt... wait it's not super bright.

Good work, can't wait to see a replay on it

looks pretty good, can't wait to try it.

However the "iceblocks" look kinda blueish (based on screenshots on this crap uni-monitor) which doesn't seem to fit with the groundtexture.

EDIT

Thumbnails are made of win.

I bet the blueish will look better with shadows on...

but yeah, not too shabby

cool, its mostly flat... a map where vehicles are good

can't wait to play it

are the mini blocks of ice reclaimable?

I don't like the detail texture or whatever that is in pic 3, the tiling is too obvious.

I believe spring adds those gridlines for some reason after a certain distance...

LordMatt · Post by **LordMatt** » 04 Oct 2006, 22:43

I get those too, on a wide variety of maps. OT: The avater from hell is spreading

That is spring's fault not mine. It is rendered at .3 compression which is really low. (Also in-game top down view you would never notice)

Ishach · Post by **Ishach** » 09 Oct 2006, 12:04

I just took a look at this map up close and it is really really good. Its got hills for bots, flats for cars, water for boats, Islands for secret gunships bases, water ramps for amphibs and hovers.

The metal is quite low so you gotta expand pretty fast. This is probably the most impressive map i've seen posted here since delta seige.

Played a game on it now, some things:

- Indeed the iceblocks are a bit too blue.
- Also the metalpatches should stand out a bit more IMO.
- The metal per patch is a bit too low, it really slows the gameplay down, perhaps increase metaloutput of all patches by 20 %? or make the starting patches increase by 40 %?

I really hope you fix these things, as this map has a lot of potential!!

Yeah I just played another game on it, and it was an extremely fun game. But the metal really needs to be a bit higher
