Screenshot of the lobby map is strongly recommended.

Re: My maps (feli)
Here comes the second map.
This is my attempt to reproduce a rain forest
Thanks to NoQ for the help with the palm tree !
The map comes with modified arizona terrain, green cliffs, different water, and a brand new sky.
4 players, 128x128, 17 oil each base + 8 in the center scav base, gateways included.
As always, "advices" are welcome

Re: My maps (feli)
At first glance, your maps look too big.
This cause imbalance in the early weapons (mg, cannons) that become less attractive if they can't hit quickly something. Also, by the time your units reach the enemy base, they are already obsolete. There is very few rationnal to spend money on them.
This strongly encourage players to stay behind and focus on higher tech research instead of attacking. You will create games were players wait 30-45 minutes in their corner before they first launch an attack. At that point, since none really knew what was going on on the other side, It will most likely be a brutal death for the unlucky player that is weaker to the enemy strategy.
In other words, the game perform well when the distance between base is between 60-120 seconds (truck time). Hope that help your next project .
Beside that your maps look pretty cool. Keep the nice work .

You get different strategies, I play both: (1) Truck Rush, (2) Heavy Cannons Tracs, if you prefer (1), maybe he prefer (2).Iluvalar wrote:This strongly encourage players to stay behind and focus on higher tech research instead of attacking.

And by the way strategy (2) is also nice.
Thanks for you map!

Re: My maps (feli)
Excellent work on the rainforest graphics! Even pine trees seem suit the place very well, and colors seem to match tastefully.
One little thing: can you try avoiding this diagonal thing on the cliffs? You can either paint them properly (via the cliff brush, which is in fact many times easier and faster and gives better results than manual painting you do now) or just disable decals (since you use a custom tileset, you can just remove tile 18 from arizonadecals.txt (and decrement the number on its first line)).

Re: My maps (feli)
Rainforest is one of the most atmospheric WZ maps I've ever played, it really does give a sense of sneaking through a rainforest at the start. Love it!
For the clouds, they are awesome but would look better if you fade the skybox image to black at the bottom - that way if the camera is too close to the edge of the map you don't get the solid line where the skybox ends, the sky will just fade away near the bottom. https://warzone.atlassian.net/wiki/disp ... kybox+Mods
Would you be able to make a smaller, less uniform / more random rainforest, say with 3-4 players and some scavs, aimed at skirmish players? (also with normal starting units / etc) Maybe using one of Raycast's maps? viewtopic.php?f=49&t=9990 and viewtopic.php?f=5&t=9958

Re: My maps (feli)
Thx NoQ and aubergine, your appreciation means a lot
NoQ: I changed the colors of the palm tree, the original was too light and didn't match with all the rest.
Just tried the second option and the cliffs now looks amazing !
I don't understand very well the first option you are talking about
I'm going to re-read the FM
Can you take a look at the skarab maps ?
I painted those with the cliff brush, did I make some mistakes there ?
aubergine: I realized the problem with the sky too late I'll make a new version with faded sky and decals disabled.
And for sure I'll make a map trying to meet your taste, but I like to design them myself
How many oils would you like to have ?
In the meantime, maybe, you'll enjoy (more) my new creation (coming soon!).
Cheers
felipe

Re: My maps (feli)
For single-player skirmish, I like normal oils - so something like on sk-startup or even NoQ's 4c-Freezing. 4 oils in base, then a few more per player scattered around the map. I'd love to see something like sk-startup topology but with rainforest style.
Looking forward to your new creation
