Hello everbody, no this is not an update to the thread, there haven't been many currently. Please keep it that way until I have posted a new post in red "Alright Updated". I am asking this because I am changing everyones spoiler on the OP. dyren has given me a great idea that he came up with, I was hesitant to do it at first, considering in Microsoft Word there is already 22 pages with 4k+ words. So just wait to add new maps, I will have a beautiful new spoiler layout which gives more ease to voting. Thanks in advance:

~wishbones. and give a big thanks to dyren when you see the new style.

The editor's custom UI seems really powerful, i have seen some maps with heroes and inventories already.

Thats the first thing I started doing haha. But it's getting less and less Starship Troopers like as I mess with units and ideas.

I'm so glad people with so much more skill than I have are really getting down and using this map editor. I feel like I want the ability to play custom maps (without swapping out map files and stuff) more than I actually wanted the beta for I had it. :X

Alright Updated

OK so I won't be changing everyones spoiler in one sitting. For now check out B's new look that is what I am aiming for, for everyone.

It's good that the thread is organised but If you could make it easier to view pictures of maps
(for example a spoiler with names and pic of the map).

It's not too tempting just seeing A B C D E F G...

Thx

Everybody, don't forget to thank wishbones for taking the time to keep this thread updated.

SirGlinG - the OP is being updated to make it easier to view/use.. still a lot of spoilers but the images are embedded. I think it's smart to organize by author and alphabetically.. at least it's easy to find a map/author this way.

Keep up the good work.

Thank you:D It took me many hours to make, it will be interesting to see how it plays. I was going for the classic risk concept

Yeah I don't want to remove the system as it is just add another function since I have no idea what new name the Destination remake has etc. A quick preview with embedded pictures would make this easier, then u can look them up for more details and download in the ABCDE system.

Edit @ 10 PM Eastern: Okay well I decided I'd go ahead and finish the map and so I've posted details etc. below.

Map Release

Code: A10105
Name: Basin / Version: 1.0
Status: WIP / Complete*
Size: 96 x 160
Tileset: Zhakul'Das (Jungle)
Map Type: 1v1
Download: Here.

*The map is finished and definitely ready for play, however there are a couple of things not yet implemented.

Map Screen Description: Two opponents attempt to control this particularity rich river Basin.

Features:

1. I've spent roughly 5+ hours texturing the entire map including the cliffs to make sure that everything looks rich in texture.

2. The map has a very easy to defend natural. The naturals also only have one high-yield geyser as opposed to two regular yield geysers.

3. For the third base players have a choice of a harder to defend high-yield, but that also puts them closer to the opponent, or a destructible-rock protected regular-yield expansion.

4. (NYI) I am going to implement vision blockers in key locations to make play more interesting.

5. (NYI) For a future version I'm considering re-tooling the rivers in the middle of the map to allow for extra expansion. I will wait until play testing occurs. At this time both players have access 2+1(Natural).

Screens:

Close-Up Texture - High-Yield

Map Name: Lunar Pace
Type: 1v1 Melee
Status: Work in Progress

It's pretty much been just checking how the editor feels in terms of terrain although I wanted to create something more or less playable. It's kinda small in overall size and I don't think it's suitable for standard play as each player has some kind of backdoor, only that it's very close to the main. On the other hand, that makes it easy to observe and defend it.
Actually I only included it after I discovered that there only is one attack path without it ^^
I'm kinda obsessed with terraining/creating more or less realistic and optically nice places (here: lower left corner) but I didn't finished it all around the map yet. Hard for me to keep it simple in terms of doodad placement, I spent alot of time on deleting those which were just too much.

Match Point 0.5 ... tweaking is too much fun I will never move on to another map T.T

Notes for 0.5: Added a lot of pathing blockers so the map plays right and has no "tank holes." Tweaked terrain between nat and mineral only. Added third and fourth LoS zones. Triggers should be set now!

Cheers.
