Yer, 1v1 or 2v2 is nice on this. Just had a run with Mong and SJ. tis nice

Gonna fix the ramps tho, they should have a better texture.

EDIT: De1337, lucker.

It looks nice, we don't have enough small maps on this game so i welcome it!

Two loses, no wins at that map, quite fun.

good metal is at bottom, and bottom is quite dangerous bc of the sorrounding hills..

dont forget the wind minimum and the mex range.
(oh and that sun direction thing..).

If you can do something for your texture, good.

if you cant, gameplay>texture_quality imo, so its nice as it is.

Cool. I want to try this.

And so I WILL!

Also its nice to see a new colour grass...mabey now we can have golden coloured grass for savana type maps.

The texture is awfull
The mexrange is too small
The mex spots arn't visual

I hope this helps!

wow, that was 8 megs!

Ok, first the texture could use more detail, it was very very bland. Secomd the sky needs some work.

I really like the height map and would love to see this as a larger map. Keep working on it. It is not ready for release IMO but it is a nice start.

IceXuick · Post by **IceXuick** » 18 May 2006, 14:08

agree w smoth. heightmap looks very nice in fps view, the terracing-thing looks sweet! Make the texture more detailed, and maybe try to remove grass from steep slopes. visual mexes i think are a must!

keep it up!

Zoombie · Post by **Zoombie** » 18 May 2006, 15:26

The texture, while good, could be better. But sence I always play in FPS mode I got to see the terrices and their uber-coolness all the time! Neat mano y mano map.

yeah, i needed some input. After all, it's my first map

And ice, im adding visible mexspots, mexradius already brought up. i'm going over the texture again, any specifics?

Smoth, im thinking of making another map with this terrace style, however im thinking about a layout that hasn't been done to oblivion.
Any ideas?

Caydr · Post by **Caydr** » 27 May 2006, 21:35

Haven't tried it ingame, but I like the layout and everything. There should be more 1v1 maps.

Comp1337 · Post by **Comp1337** » 27 May 2006, 23:02

Thankful for the positive criticism

im thinking about a layout for a map maybe 8x16 big. I would post my idea, but its in my head atm, and i dont dont have one of those really nifty pens for my comp..

(gonna get one tho)
