Hello Gentlemen

We can high generate thousands of pictures, we can rotate thousands of shapes, we still have endless possibility of creation here, what deeply fascinate me the more we create, the better for us, for the community, for Warzone 2100 fans, lovers, guests

Now high generate and rotate my creativity

I am extremely happy to present my water squared

The map is Squared, yes simply Squared, with this difference that it is almost entirely made of water All general layout is the same, but the upper level, even the cliffs, and the areas near the bases are filled with water!!!

It is quite an unusual experience to see our old beloved (by some ) Squared, entirely filled with water. It makes impression at least at the very beginning.

The map is 200x200, but the exact ground area, the terrain one, is much smaller, as a result you build in 40x40 squares, surrounded by water.

Placing water in the way I did adds new tactics to the game, and stops to some degree ultra turtling. Do not worry, there is enoug space to build anything you wish.

The map is for 8 players, advanced bases are included with basic defences. All you could wish is fully equipped in the terms of structures. There is 30 oils per player, if you wish I can decrease the amount, increase it or spread around All of the oil is in the base. Gateways are included.

Have fun Gentlemen, I hope I have brought something new, due to some things the map was hell to be made

Enjoy

Cool, Thanks Mero.

[Giani]

How do you get time for making so many maps?

[Merowingg]

Cool, Thanks Mero.

Giani

How do you get time for making so many maps?

First of all it is my passion

Secondly, I have made a lot of them, this one I think was 115th

Thirdly I have spent hundreds of hours making them, I have my methods, secrets, ways of preparing.

Forthly, While I prepare it I am listening to music what I love to do, the music very oftend affects how the map will look like, I also talk with friends and search the web.

Fifthly, Now it is extremely easy to make a map, two years ago, there was no instruction for FlaMe, (At least not so nice one like BlueMaxima and NoQ did, and it had I think 70% less options than it has now. So to make map it took much much more, some of the mechanism thanks to Flail13 improved mapmaking enormously. For example in the past to move a tile which you were to paint from Textures tab, wa possible only by presing "<" or ">" on that tile when you have painted it. Now you rotate it in menu already. There was only few people who knew FlaMe, look at the dates on forum, lately I think the number of "mapmakers" increased in 100%. Thene were very few to ask questions, exchange ideas. Now even my granny can make a map, which is a fact, about year ago when she entered my room and asked what I work on, I showed her, and she deawed few things I set those, but still

Sixthly, as it is my passion and hobby I still spend some time with it, so I sleep less, or run to work but it is worth it

The best thing is that I had to wake up at about 4/ 5 a.m. to be able to talk with my friend Mattbrit, from Florida, who took his effort, and was teaching me via gmail chat, how to use FlaMe. It took few hours and few days, but as it is visible, it was worth it. I started with FlaMe 1.2 yes Giani there was FlaMe 1.2 and it was just a beginning of an excellent tool

Flail13 thank you for your work. Gentlemen I am happy to be here.

I wanted to see how my thread is doing so I opened the showcase and.. there is no sight of my thread? but few hours ago I was quite at the top, I thought.. what the hell.. Am I banned or something? and if.. why..? I clicked on the second page and.. here I am I wasn't sure how does it happen so I went back to the first page and here is the answer..

It is truly a historic moment for me as sg1efc with his thankfulness caused that for the first time since two years time I have been on the second page

Have a nice weekend Gentlemen

Good that you saw it in the early morning. If you saw it before you went to sleep, you may not have been able to get to sleep.

Hello Gentlemen

The map is called Fierce SQR as it is really fierce Squared

It has the shape of the original one but here the similarity ends. On this one you can climb and build on every cliff around and within your base and also if you use VTOL transport you can built secondary bases outside the "Squared" area. The outside area has oil and many strategic points. At the corners of the map there is only oil accesible only by hovercraft.

Possibility to climb the cliffs give new offence and defence possibilities. You can even partly affect the centre from the safe place of the cliffs which belong to your base. The oil is spread so it is not so easy to get quickly all of it.

The map is 220x220, for eight players. 28 oils in base, by base I mean entire area of one's base, so it takes some time to collect it. there is 5 extra oils per player outside the squared area. Advanced bases are included and gateways are included. Visiting the highest cliffs at the centre, or the outside squared area will be rewarded in few precious oil barrels

Have fun Gentlemen

That's an inspired map Mero, it should be bundled with the game IMHO.

I note also the clever order of starting positions on this and the previous map, it's clear a lot of time and skill has been put in to the gameplay of these maps!
