Nice map, where's the dead guardsmen littering the ground?

[CrimsonMerc]

thats all up to you making my guardsmen dead, tho I highly doubt my boys will be littering the fields

[=][= Inquisitor_Sevrius =][=]

Common this game going to be realistic or not lmfao? Theres ALWAYS dead guardsmen littering the ground in w40k

[Calamity_Jones]

lol you have a point there (don't let boomer hear..)

There also seems to be shit loads of dead Russes... like in dow there's mountains of the things everywhere that leads me to suspect their retarded commander sent the poor tank crews out alone while the guard just stayed at the barracks

What was that ey Cal, LD 10? Doubt it. Perhaps he commanded them to but they decided their own lives deserved a tad more preservation after they got whooped by the orks in the first campaign ^^

A little update on my work thus far, The first real preview of a map is pretty much all done, maybe like 5 miinutes to check everything.

Ive already started on the concept sketch of the guardsman facing the walled city.

However some of my ideas for making manufactoriums so im going with a standard city.

Its pretty much all dont terrain wise, with hills and such.

Remaining will be plotting out the city and texturing, but thats the easy stuff, so expect another screen probably monday or tuesday.

You don't need to tell the public this... just say it in the staff forum...

(no offense or anything public )

ARG!
How many maps will there be in the next release?

[Torn]

1264328764783246324632481.3

[Calamity_Jones]

y'kow... if I put together the maps i've started and not finished i'd have close to that number:P

well... no... not really.. not at all... but at least another map...

and yeah, the public don't need to know every tiny detail crimson... they want pictures and explosionses!

Oh, sev:

currently we have:

1 two player map (Over The Line)
2 four player maps (The Ultimate Gate and The Nexus)
1 six player map (Cold Blood

however, I have 2 more four player maps approaching ready (well.. .sorta)

and crimson is making multiplayer maps until the AI is ready or he dies of old age (the latter more likley)...

so to answer your question.... at least 7 or 8... probably more

[CrimsonMerc]

I was just tryin to keep em updated torn, I had a concept sketch up here, and I wanted to explain why it wasnt going to be implemented, so people didnt think i renig'd on them.

[CrimsonMerc]

Anyone wanna gimme a good name for this sucker, i am losing the creative juices, last map was named "acid map".

[=][= Inquisitor_Sevrius =][=]

Crossroads I dunno ^^

[Boomerang Python]

Shrineworld?

[Calamity_Jones]

On the topic of acid map, using the word map in a maps name is as bad as describing an adjective by using the same adjective... like saying "cold means cold"... so.. .err...

Could you re-name it without the word map in it please

As a general rule there should be at least 6 oil derricks per player, 4 at the base and 2 nearby, but at a distance to draw out the player. On top of that you can add a few more, but generally no more than 7 or 8 oil derricks per player. (Balance wise it works best that way.)

There's 13 per player on Acid Map, so could you remove a good few of them please... sorry to be a nuisance

That new map looks very fucking cool by the way

As regards to a name, how about "Veneration".

Understood calamity, I like veneration. I gotta work on it tho, ill adjust it tho. But calamity the acid map is for 4 players, perhaps you think its only 2 polayers, regardless ill take a look.

[Calamity_Jones]

what I meant was per player... regardless of the number of players...

i took the total number of oil derricks and divided them by the number of players.. .mean average... and it should be in the region of 5 or 6

[CrimsonMerc]

ahh gotcha, im goin in to fix that now
