Ah the 16x16 version is nice, cuz I can play that one without lagging too much :P.
However, I do have some comments on it:
* There are way way way too much trees.
* Did you rescale the heightmap as well? Because some slopes are pretty darn steep.
* The ponds in the lower left and upper right corners can be a bit small IMHO, as there isn't much space to build right now.
Otherwise it's really excellent work!

The monkeylord in that shot is from a smallish mod I've been making for fun - balance via making everything stupidly powerful. It'll be posted fairly soon, once I work out the balance of the annihilator-laser-equipped AKs once and for all.

We just had an epic game on the 32x32, with multiple Vulcans and epic sea battles. Krogoth Drops and air rushes.
And lag. Tons of lag.
People with weak PCs please do not attempt to play the full-sized map. It *WILL* bring your PC to its knees.
Also, if you play on the 32x32 map, please jack the unit limit up to the full 5k. I ran out when playing it as 1k.
Now add metal in the water, so water players have something to fight over!

yea metal in the water would be nice, other than that is great, but i did notice that there is one metal patch in the top right section of land, right on the right hand edge of the map near the sea which is textured as a metal patch but there is not metal there.

If i'm ever gonna release a V2 (or someone else) i will fix that patch, but it won't add metal in the water, waterfarming is cheap enough already.

with shitty 15 E per tidal its actually cheaper to build solars...
Other than that the map owns my bollox

tidal cost like 85 metal
and a solar cost like 115 metal
so it doesn't matter that much
Also you can build de entire sea full of them!, no hills, no dents, build space everywhere.
I think metal in the water just isn't needed!

I agree metal in the water isnt needed at all (makes for MUCH better gameplay), i just think tidals should give 20, so even the little ponds get some use, plus tidals are easier to bomb etc, making them 100% useless with only 15 E. No biggie but if youre making a v2, do increase tidal power

I suggest having only a small number of metal patches in the water, near to the coast - just enough to keep your initial economy going.
This way, you can keep your "non-location-restrained" economy (and totally eliminate the competition over owning the water
), while still allowing people to start in the water without being totally useless for the first 15 minutes of the game.
Also, bumping Tidals to 20 would be nice for powering a Metal Maker economy.

You've been playing with 0.72b1 again?

keep the water metal free. gameplay is better without it imo. tidal could use a small boost as everyone keeps saying. all in all, i really like the map.
well, at least one person heard me

working on the new supcom mod?

Do those lasers spray like the supcom ones or do they blast like boring OTA lasers?
Looks fantastic in any case.

WHat about for mods that don't have metal makers, like EE for instance.

Then water is still imporant to break seiges in the middle and to stop the other ones naval.
