Merowingg's Maps

It's very flattering to be imitated (even more to be praised, many thanks), but it is always best to create one's own maps. If inspiration is needed, then study the original Pumpkin maps in detail. Those guys knew more than most what WZ is capable of...

Hello zydonk

I am happy that you typed again, because if you wouldnt I would feel bad..

Thank you too for unconsiously making me to love the game and mapmaking

Well as I said many times already the Squared map by you is very important for me, I have special feelings for it and memories.

Squared is the apple of my eye I didnt want to be accused of stealing entire map so I have made my own entirely from the beginning, as I knew at the very beginning that I want to vary it as much as possible

I know creating own maps is the best thing to do, and as you can see I have some on my list I am just maybe not obsessed but very much connected to the map.

Yes the original maps have great spirit, I especially love the first campaign map, when you start in a small valley.. it made great impression on me, and then step by step the map is being allowed to go further.. I know what you mean.. The other are master of craftsmenship too. I will try to take the best from them

Thank you zydonk for all

Bye

Hello gentlemen

Have you ever seen Atlantis in Warzone 2100 ?? no ?? now you have an occasion by the way, have you seen the Atlantis ??

The map is called Atlantis becuse the map, the main area is deep below the water level that surrounds it

All the water you can see at the edges of the map is easily accesible by eight elevated passages

On the isles on the water there are oils

Also do you see those round and square water ponds ?? those are not ponds those are fountains

Yes gentlemen I suppose those are first fountains in Warzone history I suppose I think nothing special maybe, but I wanted to achieve an effect of gushing water I did it by elevating very sharp needles of water in the fountains area If you dont understand what I am saying just play the map I dont know how to describe

The effect is very interesting The map really gives impression of being under water The environment of it is cool loking and interesting at least for me The fountains have its charm Also the "barier" cholding the water from the main map is good loking

The map is 250 x 250 so big becuse i needed the area for the sea, and then for the actual map

Eight players, advanced bases included I tried to vary the base looking, the oil positions as far as possible Even command centres stand at interesting places surrounded by water nice tilesets and eyecandy features included

The map has 20 oil per player 4 in the base another is everywhere especially near the water This is Atlantis!

Have fun gentlemen I wanted to do a little bit innovative did I manage ??

Bye

Trying now.

[Merowingg]

Very long testing I suppose

[NoQ]

he-he, "i'll try this and report" is the most popular last message in forum threads (:

[Merowingg]

If he examines the maps so well, I am already scared

But indeed you are right Hao

I think especially you have 2 fans who write this all the time

[Boris]

Not suprised:-)

[Merowingg]

Boris

I am not sure how to interpret your "sentence"

You are not surprised that I am scared of lenght of your examination ??

You are not surprised that Hao have fans ??

You are not surprised by the look of the map and is playbility ??

You are surprised good or bad rather then ??

Hello gentlemen

Let me present the Cilcular X map It is called Cilcular X becuse it is circular but also X is visible

The map is 250 x 250 for 8 players, 5 oil in base, and another 14 per player on the map Advanced bases are included

I have used various tiles so the map is again eye candy, it has also a lot of features as well hills and mountains, it is more hilly than my usual maps, I did my best to do it hilly

Have fun gentlemen

Bye

[Mysteryem]

Indeed, I am liking the hills
I'm not a big fan of the texturing due to personal preference, haven't looked at it in 3.0 yet though.
And I quite like the oil placement, though players 1,2,5 and 6 have an advantage due to their base positions being closer the ends of the x's.

[nighthawk]

you have created worlds, i tip my hat to you sir.


(TOO MANY HAPPY FACES -faints-)

[Merowingg]

Gentlemen I am confused by at least two of you three

Hao

What does this face represents ?? Is it approval or dissaproval ?? express yourself

Mysteryem

If you like the hills I have made it means I must have made a great advancement.. even unbelievable one..
Yes thats true, those players have advantage.. I think I will make another version where players will have the same distance to the X edges, in this placement of the bases players have to coperate more I suppose, and it is clearly top versus bottom, when I change it, who knows..

nighthawk

You are the most ambiguous for me I dont know what do you mean by this worlds sentence, i hope it is not a sarcasm.. But I do know you indicate that I use to many smileys.. well yes but this is my style.. You should know it already

[Merowingg]

By the way

This is my 50th map

Anniversary hooray

I think it is time to pack them in two rar files as Hao suggested and post it here, giving a link to the rared files post in the first post

I do hope I will be even better in mapmaking in next fifty maps time
