[RA2]Deadly Reunion[2-4]

squidinator · Posted: Sat Sep 09, 2006 4:20 am Post subject: [RA2]Deadly Reunion[2-4]

This is a modded map. It is in a temperate climate. Each Player starts at each corner. There a 4 small villages in the map. There is many new buildings and units, like the psycic beacon, the paris tower and the howitzer. This mod might seem a little overdone, but its still pretty fun.

The minimap is in the zip folder.

Minimap from his archive attached.

Problems I see in FA2:

Cliff blandness.
Lack of detail (highways end abruptly right after a bridge with plain grass, not even a dirt road).
Starting positions too far from ore, too close to map edge - AI problems.
The whitespace is supposed to be outside the blue line, and there should be at least 2-6 tiles beyond the blue line.
Multiple tiling errors, esp on shore.
Unused waypoints 37-40.

Problems I see in a text editor:
Scratch the previous comments, this is really really really really retarded. Do you really think people like things like this:

rofl.

A good map is not a noob map. Best way to make a good map is spending time on detailing and balancinng and not on modding.

Sure you did. Cause giving soviets clones of Grizzlies shooting the RadCannon is not retarded. Laughing

You don't seem to be familiar with Framework Mode. Observe the difference in the red line in the two pictures, and make sure your maps always keep the purple line (and the blue line - shoreline) properly connected:

And make the cliff look less boxy. It looks so plain in straight lines. Make it flow.

IMO it would be better to start from scatch again and rethink it.
