Hello Gentlemen

My newest map is called Faces, becuse if you will look carefully you will see four faces and they seem not to be very happy

The map is 180 x 180, for four players, 18 oils per player, 9 in base, but spread, and another 9 around the map. Advanced bases included.

Each island is surrounded by cliffs what helps to protect them, hover technology can be a good advantage.

The map is so designed that most of the land is below sea level to make it look interesting.

Have fun

Your right about the not very happy looking part

[Merowingg]

I am happy that it is not only me who see them then

[aubergine]

Ah, I see the faces now. They look like they are in agony, like the sad face on theatre masks.

[Merowingg]

hello aubergine

Please do not scare the players those faces are supossed to be angry

But the truth is anyone will see anything and it still will be a caricature

I'm currently playing the map with NoQ's "nullbot" and am getting pwned by it. I feel like such a noob being pwned by an AI (which is OK, because I really am a noob lol).

[Merowingg]

Well what I suggest you is to believe in yourself more and not to undervalue yourself.

What you need is to practice and that is all, no crying out is necessary

[aubergine]

I did beat it on the second attempt heh. Although I had to slow the game speed down quite a bit (having a wireless mouse with flat batteries didn't help either).

[noname1208]

Yea I dont think flat batteries in a wireless mouse would help much

Each island is surrounded by cliffs what helps to protect them, hover technology can be a good advantage.

Here is a bit of information for you : A mg tower is about 2.5 time more efficient than a mg viper. That ratio then slowly decay during the game, but you should keep it in mind. You also need to take into account the quantity of oil he can defend that way. A player should have his good share of the map oil while turtling on 2.5 choke points. Here your base have 6 opening for 1/2 the power . Useless to defend...

yeah!! you def need the regular round type.

Greetings to you all

Hello Gentlemen

I am happy to present the Arena map

As the map indicates it is a sort of arena on which quite interesting or at least different battles can be performed

The map is 200x200, it is for eight players, eight oils in base, and another twelf around the map per player. Advanced bases are included.

The map is very good for FAA, as well as 2v2v2v2 or 3v3 and finally 4v4

Its particular pattern allows to make 2v6 battles too, so called beginners versus professional. As those two in one section can theoretically easily close their area.

The interesting feature of this map is that all the players have their opponents behind them, what is more islands on water behind the bases are added to avoid concentrating of buildings or heavy units there, but the islands if used wisely can be really useful.

The point is oils are not only in the centre but also at the corners of the map and its middle which is supposed to make your heads go around all the time If thought through loosing one part of the map does not have to mean losing the game, and some areas are advisable to be fortified.

Have fun gentlemen
