3 player melee map, titled "Jungle of Joy"

[image loading]

Download

I wanted to make a standard, straight-forward three player macro map and this is what I came up with. The Xel Naga watchtower in the center has a much larger range than a standard one. The map isn't nearly as large around the borders as it looks--there's only a small amount of space between the edges of the mains and the playable border.

Here's my newest map. It's a WIP 4v4 map. Can't decide to call it either "Tempest" or "Dust Storm."

I'm back after my CPU died in my gaming desktop relegating me to only my linux notebook. But I got a new CPU so I'll be making maps again.

Imbrium Plain
1v1
DL

Actually not all that happy with this one. It's a really bland tileset and I was trying to make a nice cratered moon effect, but the tileset doesn't have any basaltic lava flow-like texture, but has stupid blue sand instead. Also there don't seem to be any doodads that really fit this landscape.

Sunken natural should make controlling the center more important, I tried to make a lot of open maneuvering space out in the center areas and multiple options for 3rd, 4th expansions. I still don't fully understand the effect vision blockers will play in future high level play, so I kinda just stuck some in the middle hoping someone will make neat use of them, as well as some hiding/ambush ones in the N and S.

Been working on this for a little while, I have named it Pompeii

Current Version: 0.3
-Edited the lighting
-Changed the ridges on the natural expansions to make them more open to things like tank drops or colossi
-Removed the mid-level rocks

This map has some really interesting possibilities and many different ways a game can flow. As you can see there are two possible natural expansions, with an easy 4th and two island expansions. There is also a fuse path, where destructible rocks give you a good high ground position over your section of the map and eventually access to the center rich expansion. Eventually this can lead to the center bridge opening and directly linking the two enemy mains that can lead to some interesting endgame. For a small map there is a lot of economy and a lot of interesting pathing depending on things like what natural someone takes or where they attempt to rush. Any feedback is welcomed.

Blue Lagoon
1v1
DL

Bal'shir tileset with the white sand from Xil and a tweaked version of the Shakuras water. A duel map that's my experiment in heavy usage of LOS blocking. There are several dense jungle type areas with almost zero visibility, making them great places to lie in ambush or force close range encounters. The amount of LOS blocking and the short air distance should also make air fairly powerful. There's one very narrow sandbar that allows for a short rush distance and it also has a very important Xel'naga watch tower in the middle of it, however it would be suicide to attempt to move a large army through this tiny choke, so you have to bring them much further around through much wider spaces which pass several potential ambush spots. There's also a northern path blockaded by 4 destructible rocks that connects the two naturals. The gold is an island which should also be reachable by cliff jumpers and stalkers, holding should also ensure control of the XWT, so it's a very powerful position to take.

Can anyone tell me how to get this very reddish/hot look in my lava map?

[image loading]

And also, how is this tower on the bottom of the lava sticking out of it? It won't let me place that doodad in lava...

Thanks for the shift tip, it will be easier for me to hide the bad seams with artificial/natural cliffs.

Here's something I've been making for the past two days, name's Breeze Cove and it is a 144*144 two-player map (starting locations are 11 and 5 o'clock).

[image loading]

It has some sight blockers and two destructible rocks on the left corner leading to a backdoor and an expansion.
However I can't seem to find where to set the fog (I found the lighting stuff, very well made by the way) and to prevent ground units from getting on some cliffs (like in the top right-hand corner).

I had to do quite a bit more to get the lava the way I wanted it....I will make a tutorial on how to do so. Hopefully I'll finish it today!

Um, "slightly" unbalanced me thinks.

3 o'clock and 12 o'clock on the highground. Map editor likes to hide the start points if you mess with terrain height :/

uhhh, did you TRY to make this look like a vagina? I mean...it even has a clit...


ROFL, i just saw the comment. It was totally not intentional xDDDD
Maybe the unconscious part of myself did this intentionally

So many cool maps. I'm interested in how the low visibility areas in Blue Lagoon turns out. I figured out how to adjust the fog color to make lava maps look more dynamic, but I think there's probably something else I'm missing to make it look even better.

If you go to data editor then to "Terrain Texture Sets" there should be a list of modifiable values on the right hand side, some of which have to do with the fog. You can edit stuff like that there.

And under doodads you can find "pathing blockers" to place down on the ground to disallow units being able to walk on it.
