New Map: Infinite Sands - Multiplayer Wrap FIXED!

Zylithan · #1 September 13th, 2007, 05:04 PM

Attached here is v 1.01, the best current working version.

If you scroll down I have posted as an attachment the full map (20mb). This is the good resolution map. If people want, I can try to make a smaller (5mb) version. Thanks for the patience and feedback!

-----------------------------------------------------
Folks,

Here's my first attempt at a map. I was just learning the ropes, figuring out how stuff works, so it's pretty basic. I went with someone's suggested theme of a mostly desert oasis. This ended up limiting the aesthetics more than I would have liked, but.. oh well. I don't know how it would play, I've done some testing, but I have never myself played any MP. I imagine it might get people trying different races from a normal map, and using different strategies. But maybe it sucks. Feedback is welcome. I'm very busy in life now, but I'm looking forward to making much better maps in the future.

Thanks,
Z

Hrm. My screenshot link is wrong somehow

I think so too

I'll post my map (not the multi-layer one but the wrapped water-map) tomorrow with the hints I got today I should be able to finish it.. it's simple but clean

I can't open your map on this (work) comp so I'll check it tomorrow.

Thank you sir. Can I ask how you did that?

Code:

It wasn't a problem with your html, per se, except that this forum doesn't allow html. You have to use UBB code or in the advanced posting/preview option, the instant ubb code.

Oops!
Sorry Zylithan, I had meant to post an explanation with it (thanks LP!), but I was distracted and when I came back to the PC I just hit submit.

Thanks for the help. I'll get that right for my next map, whenever that comes. Feel free to leave opinions on this map whenever you get a chance to check it out, and I'll use them to make future maps better.

Thanks,
Z

Looks nifty, but I'm currently overworked. It'll go on my list of must-tries. I've only had the chance to look at that thumbnail.

It might be all my RPG/SimAnt experience talking, but I feel there needs to be a giant, mighty, manslaying antlion in the center province devouring all who pass through.

Well, i tried it, and it "can't find a valid starting province".
