My map : Give me tips and/or help!

Postby D4E_Omit » 25 Nov 2013, 18:37

So I'm starting to make a small 1v1 map that's 10x10km and is focussing on having some things that most maps dont have.

Things I won't change
- Map itself, this is how I'd like my map to be (Except some minor bugs and some minor changes but not adding mountains)
- Reclaim (Alot of small rocks and 2 transports with some mechmarines in sides.)


Things I might change (Voting maybe) :
- Civs in mid (I don't know what to put there, I don't want the guy who gets mid to instantly win but I do want players to have to try and conquer mid.)
- Making it possible to build a land factory up the cliff from spawn, this will make the game faster paced a bit.

And give me tips!

Map is in the map vault as Titan V3!

Greetings,

Omit

I tried it today: it's a nice concept, but you should be able to build a factory on the cliff with your ACU. Now, the ACU has to walk all the way out of the canyon to start constructing a factory on the highland.

Also, a lot of the mexes are bugged because they are not on even terrain.

There is not enough reclaim in the middle to make a fight there worthwhile.

But nice idea for a 1v1 map. You should definitely keep working on it!

Changed alot of stuff

- Made snowy mountains more white to make it more snowy, also more textured

- Made civs in mid easier to kill

- Fixed all the mexis? (Pretty sure)

And yes I will make it possible to build up the cliff (If thats possible, am sure though)

Edit : It is possible to make it able to build upcliffs, but seeing in the game you guys got I think I wont do it, it'll change alot of strategies by having to walk up there. (Transports faster air etc) And I think that if it'll ever make it to the 1v1 ladder I'd like to have a different map compared to just landspam :)
