Love the graphics, as well as Geo placement.

Now just put a proper metal map (IE, not too much) and you'll be golden :)

Might be interesting to place starting points behind the mountains rather than where you have placed them (ie: top left, bottom right). It could create some more dynamic gameplay, where the way you have placed them curently might be somewhat linear.

interesting I just modified it a bit cos I didn't quite like the look of the textures, also put 2 starting and geos points behind the mountains

here's some screens of a me vs 3 ai opponents

let me know if it looks better or worse

No, I'd keep the geos where they were, not in a very defensible place like behind the mountains. Put them in a spot that is tough to take and defense.

I say keep them in the same place they were for the first map, but keep the new starting points.

I think you will find that this will give the map far more interesting gameplay.

Better

WZ is right (gasp!

) the most interesting battles happen over the coveted resource points. See OTA Lava HighGround for example; the most metal is in the center, and the most action happens to take the center.

Yeah your right about the 2 extra geo spots as if it's a 4 player free for all you'd have 2 players fighting out over the geos

I'll recompile the map and lower the metal abit down to 2.3 or something and upload it tomorrow.

Interesting, I made a very similar map actually, it still needs additional testing...

Mine is a bit darker and colder

I will post screenshots later tonight.
