MagicTheG

Ok, one last map and after that I take a break to run full test and get final versions

MagicTheG.jpg

This is a 5 players map, designed for "allow alliance" or FFA. It has 4 oil in each base, 4 oil in big hills between each players, and 5 more oil in the center. The hills are the only access to the center.

The scavengers are optional. If you turn them on, they'll have a fortified military camp in the center, and small villages on each hill. Be carefull, as they control 5 oil ressources, and will rescue the vilages from the military camp if you attack them.

This map is designed to make the alliance with your neighbours interesting. The 4 oils on the top of the hill are easy to divide, and you'll get a common access to the center. I called it MagicTheG cause I want to test this map with each players allied to their two neighbours and in war with the two other players. The first player having eliminated his two opponents win the game. Unfortunatlly, I don't have 4 other players to hand actually

It maybe needs a tweak here or there but i found it entertaining

Height Map Generator or graphic programs.. welcome to..

I begin to think in addons maps generated and created should be separated, or in search engine there should be search by one of those two.

Also a statement in a map description.

[p0l1z1]

? I don't get it, it's not generated ...

Generator

Lolwhat? Give me a generator that makes such maps and i give you a Nobel prize
Mero, please don't say anything like that in some review

[Merowingg]

Well you simply ad a picture of something, it look like a cell for me.. dont tell me he did it manually.. impossible, iam not telling about this newest ones, I mean the old one, not this modern wher you tyoe 5 oils, 8 players, mountinous pres do and it generates.

So how it was made then? the figures are locatet in such a way that, no rotating, mirroring and other stuff is able to do it then how, and maybe I will learn how to see the difference.

Also if used with paiting program, I still substain mup like that should have separate section in addons.

FlaME is a painting program. It can paint circles and squares and make gradients and use transparent brushes. You seriously want to separate users of different painting programs? It's as if you separate books that were written in microsoft word and on a typewriter in a book store.
___________________

A few things about the map. I suggest making the initial bases a bit easier to defend. In fact, i would have closed all the entrances except the middle one, or maybe all the entrances except the two at the sides. Currently, the middle five oils are much easier to protect then the initial four. I would also suggest to decrease the amount of oil in the middle (three should be enough, i think). That's my personal, though; you're not bound to listen (:

Also, this map is certainly worth being submitted into addons (once some sort of final version is obtained), and mentioned in this thread, cause i think we're still looking for x-player maps.

I like this map Very distinctive design, no chance to defend the base = lots of mayhem!

Maybe a more memorable name for the map would be "Salami"? Because it looks like a slice of salami.

Hope this will be the first of many distinctive maps from you, keep up the good work!

[NoQ]

Yeah, despite all i said, that's a very good map; a sort of map that only a few people here care to make (: it'd be great if you keep em coming (:

[Merowingg]

You seriously want to separate users of different painting programs?

Well t osome extent yes, in FlaMe we both know how it is with painting, masterpieces involve a lot of hard work.

The other programs make it far easier to make a map, what is more to obtain epic circles, squares, and other eye candy shapes it involves much less effort, you pick options, and a drawing is there ready for you within minutes when in FlaMe hours if not days.

Now it would be good to a user, a player, to know that some epic things were made with different tools.

So here comes the question, why dont you use the epic tools then? and the answer of a creator may be, because I chose so.

But those strange creators making things in old way may not be estimated enough in comparison with those shiny well generated various eye candy maps like

I wast given the answer how the circle was rotated here as it was not, it was painted nicely, copied loaded into mapmaking.

It is still much ado abouth nothing but there still is about something.

It is like with games, even our warzone, new generations see only graphics, an elf is not to be playable, involving person, able to be experienced int any field, it is graphics.. an elf has to have every hair visible, a drop of sweat on his forehead whan he draws a map, and each tiny thread in his coat. When he smiles you can actually see 457 muscles of his face. Graphics graphics graphics it is what counts for those falling youth, and it already begun here .

Sounds as if all you want is to be praised for using a more stupid way of doing the same thing. That's a strange thing to praise.

[Merowingg]

Not stupid define stupid here and not praise rather inform society

As I said, it is theorethically undefinable which is better or which is worse and I am certain you know it.

No anger is needed here, and to be honest you have surprised me

[NoQ]

A stupid way is the one that requires more effort to get the same result, or (which is the same thing) produces worse results for the same amount of effort. The only sense i see in informing about the tools used is to share the experience of using less stupid tools.

Thanks for the map.

Ok I withdraw here as it has become messy end even moody.

No line by me about this topic will ever follow unless necessary for the sake of community and even then only in private sections.
