Rorschach's Island

A test/concept version of a 2 to 8 player map i am working on.

The conept of the map is to fight with sea and/or water units. So, as you can see, there are large areas of shallow water.

The middle island holds the most metal. Try to take it, if you dont, exapand over the sides of the map where you can also find plenty of metal.

Any feedback is greatly appriciated.

TODO:
- retexture ( water line is off )
- add metal spots to the texture
- maybe add some features like rocks or a geo
- come up with a name for the map *Done*

No, we can't, because you didn't upload a single screenshot here or at SpringFiles.

Seriously, new mappers: maps aren't easy to make. I know you spend a lot of time on them. Don't sell yourselves short by giving us nothing to go on (or next-to-nothing - a minimap isn't really enough either).

Nice concept. It needs some more features, like palms or something.

Also nice user name.

oooh, nice. Good use of colour to clearly mark the shallows from the ocean. I assume all those mesa-ramps are bot-only?

It's nice and the layout is neato, but your fog and lighting settings suck imo.
