I made these cause I think it's interesting from a designing point of view. Would be interesting to see really good looking backward ramps in future maps. I don't know what it would do strategically though... with starfroge: ![[image loading]](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y42/maX_Well/starforge.jpg) this is an attempt with photoshop, really nothing I put much work on: ![[image loading]](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y42/maX_Well/photoshop.jpg) | ||

If you could import your own graphics you could just rotate the ramp (or just peaces of the tileset) with photshop make some adjustments and than make a custom brush with it.

Is that ramp a real ramp? Remember, the top of the ramp needs to have "top of the ramp" tiles, the middle needs to have "middle of the ramp" tiles, and same for the bottom. If that doesn't make any sense: you need to take a normal ramp and switch it around, it has the same low-ground/high-ground functionality. You may have done this, but it looks different. | ||

Yeah, I wanted to do something like this but starforge doesn't give me the abilty to rotate the tiles. An I can't use real custom graphics so I could fix the tiles manually. The first pic is a real ramp I did with SF but there aren't enough tiles to make it look proper. | ||
