Spring RTS Engine

Me want some maps that try and over power "fringe" units that don't get used much on current maps.
How about maps with certain limited build places..
You have several places around the map where u can make buildings and only there.
Also,good medium/small water maps.
Maps with explicit choke points like say the fields of isis remake artturi did.

i like the idea of maps where you can only build like 5 or 10 land structures. You start on a tiny hill surrounded by lava and a few paths that arent buildable on.

I remember when i used to host 8v8 dsd BA and even 8v8 altored AA with a 20 unit limit per player. really fun and interesting,

Would also be cool to have maps that have only a few mexes and a lot of free space(more than usual)
this should lead to different gameplay as the empty parts without nay mexes will have low priority to defend thus allowing more free roaming of armies and at the same time specific point defenses where u just porc up a few zones on the map with the rest of the area left defensless.

A map that favors arty...alot of parts where one side cannot move to a certain direction because there is some unpassable obstacle like a hill or water but the mexes on the other side are within high traj arty range..

you just described a map with lots of metalmaker spam, lots of porc, and crappy gameplay.

Like greenfields only probably worse.

Not necessarily.
It can be very porc unfriendly and focus on artillery attacks.
Also some will find it refreshing and interesting.
I might make something like this in the future.

um what? only way to make it focus on artillery is disable hlt/llt/hllt

Imagine a line of metal spots.in fornt of them a high thin hill,behind that hill artillery shooting at the mexes.
hills cannot be build on.

anyway plan is when i come back im gonna make a 3 team map with all the new mapper tools -- thx behe!

btw someone just needs to host all the new behe maps all the time, u guys getting plenty of mapperlove from behe

when you make new maps be sure to make forum or tell us
:D
What maps did you make.

behe's maps r no good the dont have any spring beats to go with them.

I would probably have bothered doing a few maps if i actually could start spring...

You can make maps without running spring.

Speaking of lava maps, are there any in Spring? If there are they must never be played because I don't know of any.


Those were my favorite TA maps.

Green fields with a single motherload metal spot in the center of the map.



Mwhahaha

Altored Divide was pretty good.

Whats the fun in making something you can't use yourself?

I might do something later on anyway... but then i have a mod project too that i was hoping to make in the future... it have been shelved due to rl stuff, and im guessing the same would go for any maps i would start working on.

Yeah, i remember this map, it was a quite good teamplay map, although the gamplay on it became somewhat predictable after awhile.
