Southern GDI HQ (SP-Map)

Maritimus

ATM I am working on this map. The general idea was to have a GDI base under siege by two Nod bases. You play GDI, Nod is AI.

The map has a train system with three stations where the train stops. It is possible to store units inside. There is also a replacement train if the first one gets destroyed.

There are two Nod bases and a small GDI outpost that was captured by Nod.

While working on it, I got a bit carried away and made the GDI base bigger and bigger, and now it is freakin huge and I fear that the scenario is much too easy.

I could raise the difficulty artificially by giving Nod a endless Firestorm defense, or script attacks by Nod. The other option is to switch and let GDI be controlled by the AI while the player controlls Nod. I will think this over.

Anyway, what do you think ?

Just an idea:
1. You stay GDI, AI stays Nod.
2. Make the GDI base smaller, not by removing buildings but by placing them closer together. There's enough room.
3. Give Nod a superweapon with timer, and your (optional) objective is to disable it in time. The smaller, more compact GDI base will act as a weak point here.

point 2 makes things easier, let it big and as it is, the way the buildings are placed it's harder to control once nod made a breach through the gdi defenses, make AI more agressive and give them orders to attack more than 1 side of the base.

Actually, thats a great idea ! simultaneous attacks from different sides are much harder to repel in a big base, because you have to spread your troups. I think I will go with the "scripted attacks" option, then.

What do you think of the map in general ? It is my first one, so I am not really sure if I'm on the right track. Where do you think should I improve it ?
