Forums / Miscellaneous Discussions / New Map needed

One thing I would change about the map, there are too many areas that are too easy to block off.  E.g. The top left corner would only need one blocker down by the river to block of that whole area. There should be at least another gap at the top.

Can you make all chokepoints the exact size for a blockable cities of different sizes?

That's a really cool looking map Arkan, keep up the good work!

Lookin' good,

May want to widen these two points I circled a bit to prevent river jumping http://imgur.com/juk4wfn

There will be bridges in those positions, correct

If only dynamic fog

There will be indeed! I'm naming that section Elf Isle (work in progress) ;)

Opinions?

That's beautiful. Allows for an armory/blocker on either side of it.

Looks really great, Arkan.

Beautiful map. I like it :)

I actually had a dream last night that incorporated VU. It means I've been playing too much.

At any rate, the maps incorporated HEAVY mountains with valleys cut out for small KDs, and a play area that wasn't just the same game map tiled. There were some identical tiles, a 3 by 3, and then unique carve out type of type things along the edges.

At any rate, this is looking awesome.

I think he means like a mountain range all the way around the edge of the map. Which would be nice seeing how hard is to to build blockers near the map edge as it is. And that walls don't work and just go on forever on some map edges. If maps don't have to be tiled then a border would work well. It's not like the worlds are connected anymore anyway (although it could be fun if they were.)

Mr. Necro got it right, Zeta. No blank space on the edges. It was more channeled, as far as valleys and such.

But Bran, We already have one of those god awful desert map!!! :D

Need to work a bit on the scaling. Wont fit any cities in the top left and the 90k between 2 bridges will be 56k max. Got to keep the box around a city in mind to know if a city will fit and you can guess the size it can grow. In the current game almost all possible spots can get scoutblocked during an oop war. 

Rivers! It needs rivers!

Wide rivers fix the problem with jumping.

you can use WeTransfer...up to 10GB

I found an awesome tool that may expidite the process of map creation!

Take note!
