The "Omega" island map is finished. Here are some screenshots:

It is suposed to be a 1v1 or 2v2 map. It will probably lead to not long games with a wide variety of diferent tactics. Can't talk more now as it is already 7:21 and i'm also running on ... 12 hours since i last had food... (

)

The metal map:

It now has 3 metal patches on water. Still, not plenty as i intend this map to not be all-mighty boats.

The closeness of the two endings:

The water height and shore inclination:

Looks good, but is there any particular reason the metal patches are visible and a seaweed green?

Agreed, although I like the visible metal, the seaweed green is kindof funny... Make it either aluminium blue or rust red, those are far more common indicators of metal presence in nature.

Seaweed green? Well, they look to me like rusted metal mixed with sand or something. (but i also think that the texture on the ground of the water looks like coral but no one else seems to think that,

)

The metal patches are visible mainly because of gameplay issues. I like to have them visible to know how to build my other stuff related to future mexxes.

Is your display color corrected?
On a sRGB tuned eizo display, those metal patches have the healthy yellow-green of snot :D

...
Which reminds me: can metal patches be also reflective with the new version? Or is the support of alpha channel for reflectivity unit-only?

I'd bet it's unit only, as our texture maps don't have any reflectivity settings we can play with... I have no idea if it's possible with typemaps, but typemaps are so glitchy right now in thier 1/8th resolution...
