New map: Castles_floating

[Daan]

A frien let meknow he wanted to make castles with water around so basically i came with in my oppinion a still to dark and to low water level map. But still i think it is ready to put it on UF.

dan, there needs to be slopes so aquatic units can actually get through the water.

[Daan]

YEp i think in a nother version i willl edd the slopes. Annd i f i found how rise the water level till grand level. And i used the old SMD file from Castles and it seems i need to modify it because the shades are making a dark impression on this map. Only i cant use the cmd creator because its probelly an old smd file maybe a remake of that file would do.

[Daan]

I wanted too add this smd because its from the Castles map. Only i wunder how i can make my map a bit more light is it only to do with sun or cloud density or maybe also the heigt of the sun

here the smd

speed boost/slowdown dicks with mod ballance. you should use small values

[Daan]

Hmm Smoth are you refering to speed units?

I think i could just make the texture map brighter to make more light in ther.

[smoth]

Code: Select all

 name=Fortress; //human visible identifier of the terrain type
hardness=1000; //multiplier of the global maphardness value (default value=1)
tankmovespeed=1.2; //multiplier of tank units speed after slope mods etc has been applied (default value=1)
kbotmovespeed=1.2; //multiplier of kbot units speed after slope mods etc has been applied (default value=1)
hovermovespeed=1.2; //multiplier of hover units speed after slope mods etc has been applied (default value=1)
shipmovespeed=1.2; /

This will boost unit speeds to 120%

so if you have unit moving at 800 it will now be 960 movement.

[Daan]

so basicully i better set those valeus back to 1 so units have normal speed?

[manored]

You should probaly change the description since the lake of gold doesnt exists anymore... :)

[Daan]

The new smd has a description four castles and in a lake :D
