The Rules

We are looking for a 1v1 skirmish map, so in order to submit one it must have:
  • An EA-style minimap
  • A loading picture
  • Gollum scripts
  • AI farm templates
  • A zoom of 480
  • A short description of the map and your idea behind its features
  • Only vanilla textures and objects
Scripts and map.inis that add small strategical features or visual improvements are welcome but they should not be too wild.

Please post your maps here!
