Reply with quote  Mark this post and the followings unread

This is my newest map it's not that bad compared to my old map but still...
This map is 200X200. There is a couple of things around the map that are pretty sweet but I can't guarantee you'll like it.

Map is too large but it has a very small detail. The map consists only of water which is ideal for naval war but the space is waaaay too open and there's not even a hill. I bet Aro would grade this map to zero. Rolling Eyes

I mean if this map was included to that competition then Aro would've graded this to zero.

The map was just a fun little thing I made. I personally like the triggers I set at the start.

BTW: how many of you actually played it. Only one person downloaded it.


Edit1:If you actually play the map and pay attention to the many forest and all the side attractions you can see I only did this in one day.

Hodrods20 I downloaded your map and played it. I enjoyed playing it. I like the triggers you added. Well done, keep making maps, you will see that they get better and better over time. Don't worry about the trolls that try to put your maps down, They should be trying to help people with there new mapping skills..Most people here are nice and will try to help you with ideas on your next map, anyway your maps look way better then mine did when I started mapping. And I know I still have a long way to go to get to where I want to be with mapping .....Stay with it. Cool

I started a long time ago but only recently I started creating maps that aren't a giant advantage for the player.

Oh ok Hotrods......I started kinda the same way. I made some one-sided maps so I could beat the brute army's in 60 sec. You are right, A good fair map is the way to go.

Never mind fair-maps. I beleive the AI should have a totally unfair advantage over you, or it just ain't fun... My 2 cents.

Just as long as the map is physically fair. Making maps with AI triggers to make the comps tougher is fine. However, in most cases you should avoid making one position on the map with a distinct advantage or disadvantage unless you're making a singleplayer map or something like that. The reason for this is that people will download your map and play it against other players and someone will have an unfair advantage.

There are many people online that make maps just so they can brutalize other players, which is noobish. Cool

Not enough LAT variation or terrain variation. Just a little bit of each would help immensely.

Alot of my maps are almost 0's on the art department of things, I tend to beleive more in playability, triggers, and mods. That's why we need to base maps on multiple concepts.
Such as triggers, playability, artwork, sounds, and so on.
I think even time put into the map should be considered.

& Tripwired, when I was referring to unfair odds, I was strictly speaking about AI vs. humans.

I'm sorry to say they we all know how pathetic the AI is in this game, they need all the help we can give them.
It should be common sense to keep balance between human players.

That IS my ztyping point. Okay so I guess I was a bit cruel on my first post, sorry Hotrods20. Rolling Eyes I'm just suggesting on making maps. Even though I'm not good at making maps I'm still proud because I have more IQ than YOU, Tripwired. Rolling Eyes EricAnimeFreak speaks also the truth. Truth really hurts. So... peace? Very Happy

I agree with EricAnimeFreak.... hotrods and I were talking about how it's unfair to make cheat maps and play them against humans. As for you Eldrei, you must have a high IQ because I did not even say your name in my original post, but you knew who the Troll was LOL. Laughing You should look at other people's comments to see how to properly give feedback on someone's work. You need to just grow up a little Eldrie... Other then that I think your OK. Very Happy

You all have to have an IQ of about 87 collectivally, you have dragged a small, maybe cruely worded, post into a war. DROP IT. The map should be the center of disscussion, not someone's IQ.

The map is decent from the looks. I'll dl and play it at a later time a comment on it later.
