A new spectacular multi-layer map!! Wanna try??

[Aezeal]

Thanks, I don't wanna screw up this map so I've started, and for graphics also finished a new one last 2-3 hours.. it actually looks much better since it doesn't use much "make-up" but just a few basic patterns which come with GIMP but which look better than just plan colors.

I did a wrap-aroudn cus demand seemed to be high for those.
I'll try to make the white dots tomorrow then I'll post it and try some things in the .MAP file for that one (I need less specific and difficult stuff for that one.

So: coming soon a
-wrap around
-mostly water!! (really should only play with water races)
map

Ow that reminds me it's VERY open now.. I need to use some seaweed as walls to create a few semi-choke points

I see 39 DOWNLOADS.. NICE

I'm sure none have finished those campaingns yet but early feedback is appreciated too... let me know anything you want to tell me or others about this map.

Don't be shy!!

My watermap will be nice to once finished, watch the forum

Lazy: Yeha I figured I'd get that answer, I've not yet played agartha but to make them one of the main villains in the map.. I dunno they just don't have the... how ever you call it to be main villains..

Vanaheimwith an AllFather on top of Olympus coming down to rule the world appeals to me. Niflheim coming from under the earth with huge giants and crushing anything in their path too.. if I place Agartha there it just isnt'the same...

I'm not sure if anyone else noticed but on the sorta middle layer (the normalish one) on one of the smaller islands over to the right side there are a few provinces that look like land provinces on the map but are in reality water provinces.

[Aezeal]

seriously? damn I'll have to change it then

corrected files will be uploaded now

oooh! also! there were two underground ones like that too! on the first level.

heh sorry if I seem kinda negative of your work, I just noticed the bugs, its a great map! I loooove lots of choke points!

[Aezeal]

hey don't hold back that is what this thread is for to test it so I can improve it.
I'll change them later if I get more thingies to change and feed back on the question below.

a question: I've never played with caves yet is it annoying for a random race (no darkvision) to start in the caves what I read just now somewhere in the forum made me think pplz like that would be seriously screwed

If so I'd change the map a bit with the centre most provinces in the caves not marked as cave but just as terrain type, the outermost ones on the edges I'd keep marked as cave but as nostart site too. It would also mean I wouldn't put Niefelheim all the way down in the caves (guess I'd settle for abyssia as badguys then.)

[Juzza]

Until the next patch comes out cave provinces do not have darkness as an effect.

However I'd put my vote to leave the giant cavern as caves.

But what'd be reeeally cool is to have unique provinces with like special monsters and commanders rather than the normal dribble that defends provinces, but I have no idea how complex that is to do.
