Note on the map :
This 18x12 map is designed for 4 to 8 players, ideally in an 2v2, 3v3 or 4v4 game.
A variant could set a third team in the middle island.
This map is the sequel after Shining Islands.

Comments and advices are welcomes !

Background :
The battlefiled is located on Eden, a true paradise in the universe. The planet is covered by a gigantic ocean and thousands of tiny islands emmerging under a tropical climate.

Pictures :

Thanks :
To the community for sharing tips.
and special thanks to Smoth for the features used in the map

edit : could someone add me in the mapping forum please ?

Hey LBPB, lookin real good!

The only thing I'm a little disappointed about is the lack of texture variation in the middle island, that and the use of l3dt's default climate.

Regardless of those to minor gripes, you did it right. High res terrain, bumpmapping (assuming I see that screen correctly). Well done fundamentally, and very visually appealing.

Thumbs up, really nice dude! Keep it up!

2nd screenshot is hawt sex. Take it without the boat and GUI and that is the most kickass Spring screen evar.

Looks really nice, but reminds me of the fact that this engine could really use a random tree generator.

Press F5 to disable the GUI, and F9 do disable health bars. Then press F12 for screenshot.

Have you released a such feature ?

It'd be good with say, 2000 metal of rocks, to give air starts somthing to fight over. its just atm the first 10 minutes on this map are spent racing for the hordes of rocks, and then everyone has insane resources.

Ha girls, yes they need too much attention

tell me about it... I can turn the computer on, and its like:

girl- "Oh my gAAAAAAAWD! you are going to play MORE VIDEOGAMES!!!"

(note she has been in town, staying at my appartment for about 4 days, and I haven't even turned the piece of shit on...)

girl- "I mean fuck, DO YOU EVEN HAVE A LIFE!!"
girl- "I am BOOOOOOORRRREEEEEEEEED!!!, do something else!"

(the splash screen for the BIOS comes up)

girl- "Have you played it long enough yet??"
girl- "fine, I'll go watch some TV... (pouting/guilt trip)"

(windows loading screen running)

girl- (screaming from living room) "What are we going to do tonight? can we find something fun to do?"
girl- "All you ever do is play fucking videogames!.."

(note: you have taken her out 3 times in the last 4 days, blown over 300$ on dinner and movies and bars/drinks etc... and windows JUST got loaded)

girl- "OMGORZ! LOOK! LOOK! Jessica Simpson got more BOTOX!"
girl- "Can I look up something online"

(I've just opened IE and have barely gotten to the homepage...)

girl- "I mean.. (comes walking back into the room) are you gonna take forever?? this will only take a second.."

(grumble)

girl- "What are you doing at Wells Fargo?? I mean, c'mon you are soooooo boooooring"

(loading the computer, and checking your bank account took all of 3.5 mins)

girl- "I'm fucking tired of you, that computer, I hate it!"

me- "I checked my bank account, we can afford to go out again, now quit competing with the fucking computer, I didn't even play a damn game..."

(fight ensues, I mentioned competing with the computer for attention... this fight lasts 2 months, and yeah...)

FUCKING WOMEN ARE ATTENTION WHORES! ALL OF THEM! ALLLLLL OF THEM!

thats about how my days go when I turn on the computer while she is in town..

fuckin blows...

LathanStanley, I think you and your girlfriend should split up. Trust me on this.

Also that rant wasn't really appropriate for this thread
