8 player map "Double Cross"
« on: 8 April 2010, 01:35:55 »
Made a new Map.  It is called "Double Cross" because you have to cross two rivers.
Code: [Select]

This is a release candidate, meaning if I feel like changing it... :)

( update by titi : This "Double Cross" map got its own topic now )

Looks good, but please give us more place to build. Especially the starting points are much too near to each other and there is not enough room for the buildings. The AI players will really don't like that. Of course they will play there too, but they will be bad.
And the seddlement places with new ressources should also have more place for buildings.
Try Megaglest! Improved Engine / New factions / New tilesets / New maps / New scenarios

Yah, if they start so close the defense towers will be shooting away.

Thanks for the advice; I tried very hard to make this map as good as Glest Team maps.  I don't think I'll have time to fix the map.  I have to release Dark Magic, and homework I procrastinated over spring break...

Yah, if they start so close the defense towers will be shooting away.

This map is designed for 2 teams of 4 players, so I don't think the defense towers would attack each other.

Funny, only one person downloaded it, and that was me...  ::)
Anyways, I kinda tested it a few days ago, and it was pretty cool... except some of the enemy units got stuck...  ::)
I guess I'll "re-test" now...huh...  :|
EDIT: OK, I tested it again, kinda. I was kinda lazy.  :|

[URL=http://img197.imageshack.us/i/ss62.jpg/][IMG]http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/8904/ss62.th.jpg[/img][/URL]I don't know about the opponents, buy my allies were stuck. They were trying to harvest stone when...(well in tiger's mod, it is leaves...) (Player 1 and Player 2 spot) See?  ::) I don't know if this only happens with the mushroom + plants mod, but I'll test again with this time the megaglest/err...megapack to see...  ::)

Otherwise, besides some other little stuff (I'm not sure what) your map is great.
And a video of this map will be up soon, I guess if you want to, watch it.
EDIT: Video UP.

And I guess...uh...sorry for posting so much about this specific one map and stuff including mushrooms and plants... but I guess Modman should have just created a thread.  ::)

Thanks.  :)

Sorry for the DP, but uh...  ::) Anyways, this is about Modman's map.  :|

[URL=http://img202.imageshack.us/i/ss24.jpg/][IMG]http://img202.imageshack.us/img202/7375/ss24.th.jpg[/img][/URL]So, I tested it again yesterday, and it was pretty fun. What makes it not so fun was that there wasn't really enough space at the home base, so it is really crowded.
Code: [Select]
[URL=http://img89.imageshack.us/i/ss20w.jpg/][IMG]http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/2734/ss20w.th.jpg[/img][/URL] (If you watch my video, watch the 4th part, and at the end I "look" at our Home base.  :|  :O
Just like a priest and his mummies were blocking my workers from my teepee... Then it took like 5 minutes to build another one, slowing down everything else. (+ that lag you get... :|) See? Eventually they went out after the opponents came to attack,  ::)

Also, the opponents kinda got stuck here... (same place last time for some reason)

And then we just attacked an invaded...well my allies did mostly, I attacked after them because of the lag I suffer... (but still fun)  :thumbup:

[URL=http://img208.imageshack.us/i/ss14u.jpg/][IMG]http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/9428/ss14u.th.jpg[/img][/URL]And here are the actual videos, I post the screenshots first because it seems like nobody ever watches my videos, so yeah.  ::)
So here, we start. (notice when I start my videos now, I have to start it "weirdly..." and I don't have to do that with GAE, another  :thumbdown: for MG  :( Anyways, here, after like 50 seconds into the video, I defend our base
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zpaLoGFQA0
Here my allies and my thunderbird attack our opponent's base. I only sent our a thunderbird because I knew that attack would Fail. But uh, we still caused a nice amount of damage.  :)  :thumbup: (Really big clash at first)  :)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEYKPFAksGM
Here I start to attack, and some Norsemen come to help too.  :thumbup: Big clash, sorta.  :)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oe2hgGvCfXc
And here we finish them off. At the ending, a "look" at our humongous base.  :|

And that is about it, so, nice map. Sorry for the amount of "space" I took, when I post this post.  :|
