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

[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.

[Aezeal]

Well this is my first map, the special monsters I'm trying out on another one atm. My plans for the map include such stuff (mostly 2 AI players which get quite some advantage as you could read above) AND on the chokepoints between planes I want to place "guardians"

so I guess that is what you want.. but I'm still learning how to do that.
i asked if there where pplz who wanted to team up with me (e.a. I'd let them do that part) but no one is really interested atm (which I can understand) so I'm trying to learn it myself. I'm currently awaiting an answet in another thread that might help me along a lot.

[Juzza]

I'd help! but I can only do nation modding and unit modding, I haven't attempted map yet, if you want a custom made guardien thing I might be able to help. but you can probably just put some big strong units in there from the vanilla game anyway.

[Endoperez]

Map commands can do amazing things, as long as you know what exists. A Niefelheim/cold based province, as an example, could have Mount Frost site (increases cold scale, water mage may enter to summon winter wolves), or a Fire/Abysia themed province could have Volcano (heat and fire gems).

[Aezeal]

Yeah I personally think the Vanilla game comes with so much (except a "good"ish race in LA) that I don't want to bother pplz to much with mod thugs since everything you want you can easily get the same result with something out of vanilla game.

THe placing of monsters is pretty easy though I did it on the other map and I'll do it here too.

The other thing, making a nicer looking higher resolution map of this map is not a thing I can really do I think.. well I have a few simple idea's for improvements and I'll implement those IF I made enough layers while making this map

more layers = better if you want to be able to change stuff.. I'm learning
