Spring RTS Engine

here's another map I threw together

Screenshots below







if the heightmap looks familiar it's one I'm using in another map but scaled up

Comments?

Love the graphics, as well as Geo placement.


Now just put a proper metal map (IE, not too much) and you'll be golden :)

Might be interesting to place starting points behind the mountains rather than where you have placed them (ie: top left, bottom right). It could create some more dynamic gameplay, where the way you have placed them curently might be somewhat linear.

interesting I just modified it a bit cos I didn't quite like the look of the textures, also put 2 starting and geos points behind the mountains

here's some screens of a me vs 3 ai opponents













let me know if it looks better or worse

No, I'd keep the geos where they were, not in a very defensible place like behind the mountains. Put them in a spot that is tough to take and defense.

I say keep them in the same place they were for the first map, but keep the new starting points.

I think you will find that this will give the map far more interesting gameplay.

Better

WZ is right (gasp! ) the most interesting battles happen over the coveted resource points. See OTA Lava HighGround for example; the most metal is in the center, and the most action happens to take the center.

Yeah your right about the 2 extra geo spots as if it's a 4 player free for all you'd have 2 players fighting out over the geos

I'll recompile the map and lower the metal abit down to 2.3 or something and upload it tomorrow.

Interesting, I made a very similar map actually, it still needs additional testing...

Mine is a bit darker and colder I will post screenshots later tonight.

JCAI! I demand an NTAI shot for comparison!
