I'd like to see mexes to fight over like in the newer versions of Wonder where the flanks have to fight for extra income rather rely on reclaim.

I like the look of it and agree it could be nice for 1v1/2v2 but i also think there are too many mexes. I also prefer large rocks in the base for reclaim rather than some small ones because it's less clicking at the start of the game when manually reclaiming.

as 4v4... I dont play it but asume that it will not work that well as previous options while its to much turrtle positions and nothing to gain with agresion. But we will see.

I'm using the same amount of base mex points as Gap of Rohan (seeing is it's arguably the most popular map in FAF) but if I can improve this map, then I don't mind removing a few points, but I would like the input of several people in order to do this! I can't on just one opinion!

Hey, i loaded your map up ingame, i enjoy your strata combo, works very well

However, i think speed2's comments about secure mexes is correct, but i could see this map being made for a phantom or ffa if someone was bored of the (quite terrible) existing phantom maps

appearance wise? im not sure you modified the LOD cutoff on your decals, this means we have to zoom in to incredible amounts before they pop in, if you dont know what i mean, just try selecting all of them and changing the cutoff to 10000, and that will make your decals visible at all times

also, are they craters around the edges? i would assume if the area was hit by an artillery shell the top layer of the earth (grass) would have been ripped open, exposing the dirt underneath, so why do the craters have grass?

Thats all i can really think of, besides maybe some more decals for said craters, but otherwise i like it!

(if only we could get 8 people to download it and try..)

I will release a ver. 2 soon, I changed the cutoff as I got the decal bug at some point. The craters, have been there for a while. I'm sure nature would've taken over and the mex points, well could you be more specific regarding which mex points to remove? You take the original photo and circle any points that should be removed or moved.

Thanks everyone for your comments!

Thank you, if you do play it, and you feel something should be changed. I will most likely change it!

Way too many secure mexes for all players, nothing to fight for in the middle.

On initial inspection yeah of course, but did you actually play it??? There is wreckage in the center.
