..:: New Map - Center Rock - V11 & V12 ::..
Moderator: Moderators
haha, im just compiling!
Did you read my previous post?
First of all, i think symmetry is the way the metal is dispatches, so no unbalancing between the teams.
I've added 3 metal spots on top hill for starting locations now. But do you really want metal all over the place? instead of just some locations that you really want, and need to protect?
Any suggestions where you'd like them? and also why they need to be there.

Metal on top rocks (start positions) give 200%
Metal on lower grounds give 150%
Metal below water and in bottom left give 225%
Metal on Centerrock give 250%
I will release the new version with 4 start locations and 3 mexxes per start, but want to wait what other people think after playing the map, okay?
[edit]
Going to switch the toprock and lowerground metal percentages. This will make expanding worth the risk.

I just had my first game on this map. was indeed 3v3.
The metal is very low, we had 2 patches each, and one of each team had one. But since this map is so large, it isn't a micro-build-efficient-lvl1-war map. (it takes 1 min for your peewees to get from your side of the map to the other.
Later on, everyone had fields of wind gens, solars, fusions and metal makers. Metal generators were commonly used too. The entire area from the center rock (rock included) to the right cliff was nomansland. (team on the right platform was lozing the enitre 2 hour game). Mostly becouse of the heavy cruize missle fire. Ground attacks were invane, cause of the enourmous amount of anni's. Atillery didn't do very much, because of all the deflectors, minus the fact that they have such small range, they are very ineffective.
(sea was used too, to bomb our base, but they got cruized in the end)
Air won the game eventually, dispite the fact there were murceries and flaggers all over the bases.
Well fun map, fun game, only it ended in long distance warfare.

Allright, thank you for testing so soon!
I have added extra metal patches on the main starting rocks (topleft, bottomright) So that in a 2vs2 game both have enough metal.
Maybe you have some suggetions about the metal placing, to let people expand more?
Good to hear you had fun, that is offcourse the main aim :D

Played you map on Linux (single player).
You say you will release the new version with 4 start locations.
Can't you make that 32? (the engine limit afaik)
Just so it can be done if people like to.
And I would not increase the amount of metal patches.
Lesser metal patches gives a more strategic game focused on metal.
And what a great map!

Well i just added some extra spots (not much).
They are so placed, that the center rock, is more interesting, and probably worth the risk. Also the to crossing next to the rock are given 2 spots that will make them worth fighting for!
Also 8 starting locations instead of 2. (32 start locations is a bit much imho. If you like to let more people join (however 2vs2 is already quite busy) you should make starting boxes if this is the case. ( with 4+ people, players will start on 'level' lower, but don't have that much metal as players 1-4)
I will upload the new Centerrock V11 tonight.

Yes, I'll keep V10 around also. AAI works even better on V11, because they more often use the different attack routes.
V10:
- low metal, but strategic warfare
- 2 start locations
V11:
- more metal spots ( strategically placed )
- 8 starting locations
This new v11 version will be uploaded tomorrow.
Happy Fraggin' !

had a go, its a blast, and its pretty too.
My only complaint is the countour lines on some slopes, the one flaw in this gem of a map!
Balance-wise i think there are too many mexes on the starting place compared to the rest of the map, which adds to the porc factor, but it isnt bad, just my preference!
good work

IceXuick, I apologize for my features not being very "user-friendly"....
I'm working on that, the Alphamaps are still driving me insane, and everytime I try to make one, my textures just come out solid black...
maybe, hopefully, this weekend, I can work that out.
With maps like this, that you are creating, I WANT my features spammed on them
