it might be cool to add a few more slim ramps up the hills (but not in perfect, convient locations) so vehicles are a little for viable (ideally vehicles are possible on these maps, just not nearly as suited; it'd be cool if they are compatable with EE (tanks vs all terrain walkers), s44+SWIW (all terrain infantry, flat areas for tanks)

also, can I suggest upping the lighting on that boy, as gloomy/dull lighting dosnt tend to flatter spring all to well

but yeah, that looks awesome! what you doing for the skymap?

edit:
I updated the first post so now it contains a list/link of each completed entry

my map that i had started before i read this meats most criteria, but the player limit, my map is really a 2v2, 4v4 might get a little cramped
even though its 4x16

looking good! I think you might want to make the finished product a little brighter, though
can vehicles get around that map? if they cant, it might be a good idea to knock some ramps in,
players seem to preffer maps where every option is avaliable (even if its not advisable :p)

Also, that metal is going to low on these maps. The output
will be 1.2 and not many metal spots compare to other maps
I've made. I figure around 20 or 24 metal spots.

I figure it would force you to explore and expand
your forces. Also, it will make people think on
what to build and other stuff.

how many bits are you using for the heightmap? You seem to be getting major terracing on the green picture, maybe using 8 or 16 bit heightmap would solve the issue...

Seems like 32 level terracing. Also looks intentional :)

Can I enter another map in the competition?
