Maybe it looks small cause I zoomed all the way out, on both sides there are 2 starting positions on the hills ond 2 in the valleys
In my new comp there is an E6750Doual Core 2GB Corsair RAM and 8800GTS640MB and an 250GB HD Mainbord is an MSI P-35 Platinum

will your maps be part of Remix? they should be... or atleast be on CrosuS!

[Capt.Drake]

Pend already put one of them in which is Mountain Conflict, desert night is not in but I hope Pend puts it in side by side with Vally Hill Battle
Is there any feedback on the map?

thank you drake for making me a new death valley map
i downloaded it and am about to play test it.

EDIT: well done ! nice job i liked it.

the starting points on the top of the cliff are good...especially for tragectory style firing defenses/wepaons. its great for artillery to hold off units and its a good choke point when units are funneling into your base.

its not so good for direct line of sight fire units/defenses though, because there range is cut by more than half.

Well that's how I wanted it, take the cliff and advance with tanks through the vally afterwards^^

[Capt.Drake]

Well I don't do maps regularly, but I my moments from time to time.
That's why I have created acctually two maps in the past months.
One is already included in Remix so no download for that one the other one is not included yet.

Don't beat me with how I'm nameing my maps I know they already are in ZH.

The Frontline (already included)

The symmetry is a little...annoying. Yes it's an easy way to include balance and such, but maps that look virtually the same on one side as on the other are less aesthetically pleasing than those that have a lot of variation (I do like that urban combat one quite a bit though).

As a couple suggestions, I'd say try to make the maps more varied all around (easiest if working on free for all maps or non-obvious team maps such as where the players all start in corners, or like Mountain Guns). Through in a river on one side, a city on the other and so on. I'd also suggest trying to make less obvious choke points. Armies like Tank general and Infantry general who lack the mobility of Air Force have a lot of trouble getting through these (especially considering that Remix includes long range artillery defenses). Your urban map is a good example for what I mean: The entrances to the bases are the pair of roads, which are guarded by bunkers (along with the side entrances, virtually the same). This makes for very easy defending and very hard assaulting. In addition throughout the map there are choke points. While not only making for easier defense, the above mentioned armies will be forced to assault in a line formation, making overwhelming the enemy nearly impossible.

So, less symmetry and fewer choke points I think would make for a better map.

[Pendaelose]

While I can understand the desire for less symmetry the choke points are fine with me, in fact I requested Drake to make a few that had them.

Defensible maps are a big help fighting the AI and a few choke points can give more players a fighting chance. It's not as well suited for PvP but vs the AI it can be a lot of fun.

Yep Pend says it these maps are created with the remix AI in mind, I think that says it
