YURI Map of the World

theextractor · Civilian **Joined**: 20 Feb 2010

this is a yuri map i made of the globe. it's really very interesting to play on.

2-8 players, there is one airfield per player, approximately 15 oil derricks, ore is plentiful along with gems in the north and south poles.

while this map is not symmetrical and not necessarily balanced, it is excellent for team battles with each team controlling one side of the earth. free-for-all can be crowded especially in north america.

epic navel battles, land battles are more likely to happen in africa or russia

also really fun to explore!

Enjoy!

Not normally a big fan of plain maps, but seeing this map reminded me of when RA2 First came out. I played a similar map online. I used my own rules, not the original, but not bad. IMO this would be a good online map.

You make it by hand? Looks a little inaccurate. #Tongue

I more guess he imported an image and let FA2 make a map for him, with him fixing the errors #Tongue

Well, my suggestion is adding more objects,cliffs,etc.....

But if you imported an image to FA2, at least you fixed the shores tiles errors, i think i gonna play it also. Smile

Awesome, but... why have a player start in Alaska? Make it start in Antarctica!

i didn't import a map, i didn't even know you could do that, i did it by hand with a map for reference.

haha, i know there really isn't a river running through the entire continent, but i wanted to split up the two starting places.

adding cliffs on this kind of map would have been very difficult since that would require different levels of ground, this map is really tight, it would have been tricky.

i also didn't want any players to start in the north or south poles, instead i put oil derricks. this also makes team battles better. a player could definitely move to Antarctica!

MY GOD! WHAT HAPPENED TO MY BELOVED NEW ZEALAND?!

...Now that I have that off my chest, the map looks bland and boring. It needs more of everything - slopes, cliffs, interesting tile placement. Everything.

New Zealand seems to be a part of a group of giant islands which are suspiciously close to the inlands of Asia and Australia...

LOL I tried the map, and set player countries to the ones according to the map.... it was then that I realized that you have practically 3 player positions in America.

if you want some cliffs added open map editor and show the mini map. take a screen shot, paste that in to whatever photo program you have (EX:photoshop)..... showing the map and the minimap......copy the mini map and paste new pic....then rezise the image to something big enough to see and write on. draw some lines where you want cliffs on the map. if you dont want to do that, ill take a crack on remaking it if u dont mind

woah easy on the criticism guys, i just wanted to try something different!

obviously it's not completely accurate i.e. the islands around australia, but i had to make allowances in order for it to be playable.

as i said, this would be very crowded for free-for-all, but it works great as a team map.

fitting cliffs into this map would be basically impossible, still allowing room for bases. it's meant to be an aesthetic representation of the global map. cliffs would just look huge and out of place.

Not really, in the place of shores and thoses things you can put cliffs, it think that would cause an really great effect at your map without making it unfair,etc...

Like I said not a fan of plain maps, but I liked it. I only played 3 on 1 and it was a good game.

Put a small cliff where Mtn. Everest is... I want a conscript to go up there XD

i can see how making entire continents with cliffs might be possible, if anyone wants to, go for it.

however, i'm not a fan of the way the cliffs have to go at such defined angles, i'm afraid the continents would become blocky and completely unrecognizable.

certainly cliffs are valuable, but i'm not going to put them in, so again, if anyone wants to, go for it.

BUMP for knowledge!!! #Tongue

Anyways, i haven't tried this map yet (sorry XD) though i maded an print screen about the change i was talking about.

As you can see, as an suggestion, you can use the shores that are almost unused as you can see it (like australia and others for example and put cliffs soo you can alternate, soo it stills get not unfair to anyone and make the map less plain, and as you can see, the minimap almost the same (the area in the print screen okay?)

Anyways, i'm looking to "work" in this map if you let me (with credits of course) Smile
