The OFFICIAL dansil92 Maps Thread

  • Quote

Post by dansil92 »

This thread is where I am going to showcase my new maps!

With the release of Tuparro on the EP8 patch, I would like to give a place to showcase my current collection of custom maps. This will take quite a bit of time to completely get them all published here, but I thought I'd start with a few of my sexier, more original maps.

I absolutely NEED your feedback. I'm a decent player, but am by no means a top-level competitive player. I will include my own thoughts, creative processes, even some sassy remarks, but I'm only as good of a map coder as the community helps me to be. In the creative process of making maps, some are good, some are bad, some are hot garbage. Some just need some tweaks, and some just end up completely different from what I'd planned.

With that in mind please be respectful with feedback. I'm not perfect, and neither are you :flowers:

If you like a map, let me know! If you don't like a map, tell me why! What could be done to make it better? Or is the design flawed from the get-go (that's ok!)?

Lets get started!
Appalachians
Cerrado
Chupat
Falklands
Ganges
Guatemala
Mojave
Manitoulin
Mississippi
Nahanni
Philippines
Tuparro
Upper Andes
Uyuni
Zavkhan

I love the idea !!!
The map isn't balanced yet (and doesn't have TPs) but it's a great idea.

I like the look of these. The 2 rivers between players is a nice idea.

@dansil92 how about a teamgame variant of Philopeens where enemy players spawn on the same island

Or perhaps that should become the primary design :ugly:

My newest map, Mojave! Features Navajo settlements, oases, and a unique layout of canyons. This was base off the cave map, but made for more competitive play. The map isn't perfectly balanced yet but it fairly consistent.

heres some sexy glamour shots

Maybe some unbuildable terrain near the chokes would prevent too much walling from happening?

Hmm, can you make it so that walls near your base are still possible?

Do you think a map with super booming options but walls disabled would be interesting ? Like a game designed for kynesie's play style with lots of food and gold in base and lots of fishes and whales but no walls to protect your economy so you actually need to make units early on.

It would be all or nothing unfortunately. Unbuildable terrain would require ep to make new textures (breaks re compatability) and would also prevent building forward military buildings etc.

I'm not set on disabling walls yet, would need some proof walling is op on the map and I've not seen that yet. The map isnt particularly resource heavy, and most of the food & wood is concentrated at the oases, which are too spread out to control simultaneously with just a single layer of walls. I need some testers for this map, would you be interested?

I think this has a lot of interesting potential but may just end up being a British and ports map. Would be interesting to see, but I'd need eaglemuts help with the wall disabling triggers
