Urban maps?

Postby Necrosis » 26 Sep 2015, 11:33

I'm sick and tired of having all of these kind of maps that take place in barren deserts or frozen hellholes. I am not sure if it has been discussed before but I am wondering if it's possible to have maps that have a lot more civilian structures then what we normally have, or even have cities and tall skycrapers, it would be something different obviously and it would require a modeller.

another idea is to also be able to to destroy civilian structures, reclaim them for your army or make more room for your base, another interesting thing i thought about is to perhaps "Capture" certain structures, and have them give you mass and power periodically, rather then just having mex and pgens :D.

I would try doing it myself(though i will probably fail hard) if people are interesting enough, but given how there are already players
that can map quite well, all we'd need is a modeller to make some more civilian structures.

I have checked them out, however they only have textures no actual civilian structures, it doesn't have this city-ish feeling I'm talking about, imo these maps look pretty bad

EDIT: A good example would be any of the C&C's blue zone maps

You can place civilian structures everywhere, but not many mappers are doing so since people dont play these maps that much... There are even some very sexy walls that could be used and improved. :D

a bit off topic but
If I look at a map like that, it looks quite uninhabitable and hazardous for human life, so until the planet can be terraformed colonists would live on these small mini-cities surrounded by a large shield, inspired from Spore:

you should try adding small mini cities like these around here and there that, would be a nice backstory for any maps like colonists
trying to have a new life on a newly discovered planet whilst 2 factions fight over it.

FA intro has a battle that takes place in a city.
