Tempest is a 20 x 20 map that holds 8 - 16 players. This map is designed with AA-based mods in mind. There are three strengths of metal patches:

84 low yield @ 1.4
56 medium yield @ 1.9
4 high yield @ 3.7

for a total of 238.8 metal total in the ground. For comparison:

20 x 20 Tempest: 238.8 metal
20 x 10 Delta Siege: 156 metal
18 x 20 Tropical: 144 metal

Features are basically non-existant to keep FPS up on low-end rigs. Make note that this map makes use of a typemap! To keep units from bogging down in shallows, I have used a typemap to slightly enhance the speed of units moving in shallows. Vehicles get only a minor boost, where as kbots have a bit more. This change needed to happen since Tropical, but mod makers have not done anything about it, so I took it upon myself.

Is that the sky from my east side west side map? Or did we have the same idea! COOL!

actually its the sky from terra.

i figured no one really got to see it, so i used it again.

I was just surprised because I saw someone thought of a very similar color to what I originally did in my map.

Rather interesting really.

Digging it, as I do most maps, but I can't get it downloaded.

map looks really nice, i like the design with the water in the middle.

BTW: All your maps start with T (tropical, Tangerine, Terra and this one), is that on purpose?

Looks too depressing for me.
Like the layout and all, the lighting is a bit meh to me though.

yeh, i like happy tropical lighting moar

Depression belongs in maps as much as happiness.

I quite like it the way it is.

It's quite beautiful yet depressing at the same time. I myself prefer bright lighting but that's just a personal thing ;p

drab maps do a great job of highlighting the action/explosions though.

Its cool how the ground and sky say "No escape: you will die"... :)

moar features!

I don't use white skies or white fog jack, so your point is moot. Maybe oyu should considered using lua to change up your gui a bit. Outlined text is really nice.

He's only baiting to bait.

the background on the map Battle For Planet XVII and Whamatunga Riri was white and it made it really hard to see the text so its a valid point :I

This map looks great, good work. Can't wait to playtest it
