from the screenshots it looks good.
but empty, at least some trees would be nice.
also i think a map does not have to be 100% symmetric to be balanced.
gameplay wise there seems to be nothing that makes me go "ooh i want to try this as fast as possible"but i guess its ok too.

hi,
thanks for answer. cause its beta there will be some trees, objects, geos, grass in future relases, also there are no metall textures up to now.

Fixed the links for you.

looks very nice, kinda reminded me of a map called "dire straits" by agorm.
I think the map could use a bit more metal in the middle on the ground, hardly any reason to leave the base.
All that said, Very good job man, keep these maps coming.

EDIT: What size is this map?

very nice map, i like the skybox too

how about adding some trees and maybe a few more metal spots?

Where find the map generator, men ?

Edit Drolito : it's good, i have find the answer ...

The layout looks promising. I assume that the water up north is shallow enough for land units to cross, albeit slowly?

I agree with the other comments that you should put more metal spots on the bridge to the south.

I liked this map when agorm made it.

aGorm · Post by **aGorm** » 27 Mar 2007, 14:49

Whats this, you mean peole actully liked my map? Does this mean I should go back and add in the statues?

BTW, while obviolsy Its like my map it still looks prtty good. Plus mine was a hell of a lot longer... this is prob more sutible for less players, like 2 v 2.

must say that i never have seen aGorms's map before i did this one :), i changed the metall layout more to the middle, now the map has trees, grass, geos and some moonrocks.

vehicle units can pass the upper water.

I'm a mapping novice myself, so take my advice with a grain of salt.

I think your trees would look better and give better gameplay if you made them more dense. Pack them really tight, in mini-forests or bands of dense trees.

There are several benefits to high tree density:

1. It looks more natural.
2. Forest fires (and the possibility thereof) can add another element of strategy, whereas a lone tree affects very little in the grand scheme of things.
3. Makes reclaiming trees easier

if done as a half, I'd give it 4 stars out of 5...

it needs features

but yeah, I've got a thorn in my side for mirrored or tessalated maps..

even rotational symmetry drives me nuts...

you have the talent and ability to do better, make it simmilar sure, assymetrical symmetry is ok... but to be identical... ugg.. its just.. ew.

other than that, nice map!

For the love of all that is sane that is the exact opposite reason to use mass trees!!!!!

have u ever played Conqueror's Isle???

that has ur mass tree placement and any time one of the forests goes up the game lags to all hell.

Use trees sparingly for everyone's sake.
