@ LA: Wow. Man that's going back 12 years. I remember it well. It was my first attempt at balanced asymmetry and also what they started calling a challenge map a couple years ago.

Which also reminds me of the maps I worked on with Laws 245 at that time as well that where not only "challenge" maps but very complex mods as well - "Citadel" and "Citadel-Elite" (which also introduced vtol trucks for the first time along with an original story conponent, new multi-weap turrets, proximity mines, scud missles, new GFX & SFX, new A.I., gorgeous new tile set, new terrain textures used as structures and new Borg GPMs that still remain unique to this day).

In any case I later perfected my techniques for creating a balanced totally asymmetric, non-geometric, non-mirrored, non-flat, water crucial, aesthetically beautiful, naturally-looking map in 2009-2010 with "Aqua Coop" and "ManGodAi4x" by working-out the GP dynamics in 4 dimensions instead of the typical 2 which took me most of a year for just the 2 maps. Not likely something to ever be duplicated and also something I would never have attempted with the clutzy EW map editor but with Flail13's newly created FlaME it was a year long journey of mostly joyous discovery. But enough of that.

Iluvalar :)
Mean that the are forced to mention you as a contributor.
Creator! :evil: ok I understand, thank you.

Rman Virgil :)
What Iluvalar says is the best you can hope for under these circumstances with the way you feel. :3
It seem so, I am happy you understand me at least partly.. but you all please do remember I will always create and help for the good of the community! (shall I be kneeling right now and some one holding a sword :hmm: ) But seriously.. I thin many already know about that :lecture: yh do you :hmm:
As for Sir Isaac Newton sticking his tongue out - I can only imagine it would be at Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz from all that I know of Newton's life. And the reason would be over the invention of calculus. Newton accused Gottfried of plagarism but it has been proven without a doubt that they both invented calculus independent of each other.
Well I was about the other fact Sir :lecture: Newton sticked out his tongue on that legendary picture, because he was angry at the photographer who was persistent in asking to take a picture of Newton while he was celebrating (I think his birthday) with his friends.

And speaking about I dare to say.. your language, I just love it :) It is a pleasure to read your posts, and I have learned both many new words and interesting structures, and quotations and philosophies as well!
I have a bit over 300 maps in my collection.
I have spare copies of all maps I have made, and my secret patterns ;) Just in case one day something went terribly wrong here.. then coming back would be well supported.

Dorodo :)
So you see, never mind. Some of your maps uses circles or squares etc. I played them often and as a designer I know very well
about the problem you have (which actually is not a problem), as long as you have a good conscience and as long as everyone
cannot see a 100% match to another work there is no stealing, no copying etc.
Indeed Sir :)
Ähm, and did I mention that I like your maps?.. hm.. ah yeah I think so, keep on :)
Thank you very much :thank_you: my pleasure :wheee: :yahoo:

Speaking about Edit Word.. wher I can get it? I just want to take a glance, I think my first map, my very first map was done in it, and I don't even remember how it looked like now.. or maybe a little.. it would be a journey to the beginnings :lecture:

I am sorry no new work was posted here lately but I was extremely busy.. but I think the situation will change towards the weekend or during the weekend :)

Thank you very much Gentlemen for all :)

Bye :)

Mero do you have a link to that birthday photo of Isaac Newton sticking his tongue out? I ask because I think we may have a time traveling photographer involved here as the first official photo on record was in 1826, about a 180 years after Isaac's birth. ;)

Could he have been thinking of Einstein perhaps?

Considering how genius blurs together it's understandable to confuse them.

Quick bit of trivia. Did you know that Einstein and Steven Hawking both have an IQ of 160 (or higher)? Would be interesting to see what the IQ of Newton, Tesla, and a few of the other greats were.

Really Mero I can see where the 2 could get confused, besides both being geniuses of Physics. Sir Isaac clearly wore a wig and Albert looks like he was wearing a troll doll wig himself though the truth is he didn't believe in combing his hair - just flopped outta bed straight to the chalk board. ;)

Thanx Gentlemen :)

I think he had more important things on his mind than some taking care of himself.. as many geniuses does :)

Hello Gentlemen :)

I am happy to present my Fishes map :) I think it is a first of my maps on which an animal is crealy visible ;) or shall I say both animal and its skeleton ;) I wanted something with sharp edge,s and here it is ;)

It is 200x200, for 4 players, 4 oils in base, and another 11 per player on the map. Advanced bases included. Gateways included. And the fishes, the big ones, the skeleton ones, have The Scavengers on mind ;) I mean scavengers included :)

It is very open, but bases are nicesly protected by cliffs, and there are few other places not extremely open. Enemys bases can be accessed by wheeled units too. Each litle fish has an oil pearl for you :)

Have fun Gentlemen :) and beware of fishbones :lecture:

Hello Gentlemen :)

It is the smallest map in my history here :)

It is 64x64 and I think I do not need to explain its name now here ;)

The map is for 4 players. A typical rush map. 7 oils per player, I think it is the smallest oil number per player I have ever made too :hmm: Gentlemen am I evolving? :hmm: Advanced bases are included and gateways are included as well.

Have quick fun :)

Thanx :) my mutation has just begun :whistle2:

I openly admit that I want to make something like your Mini NTW but even smaller, reducing it to 58x58, all smaller seems to be madness :kez_11:
