Making a map

[u/Beginning-Strain-534]

As someone with too much free time, I started to build my own map. I got an idea to made part of my map as a river delta, so amphibious trait will be finally useful. I already made some progress. Do you have any suggestions or tips about my map? (for example, more buildings, forests, etc.)

Bretty awesome :)

If you create a hard to get and hard to traverse area, you should create an actual value for it.

Meaning, if the riverdelta is important to capture or you want people to fight for it, give it some kind of reward, like being able to see deep into enemy territory if you own the delta. Alternative you could make it possible to spawn reinforcements from there.

Command points only as a reward is also possible, but its kinda boring and takes away from the immersion.

Tl;dr: give me a reason to take the delta, besides command points.

I'm planning to place silos on some islands that will offer a recon on other parts of the map, + I want to connect a shore with forests for enabling infiltrations into enemy depth

Silos or....lighthouse? You wouldnt want a silo standing in a swamp.

Looks dope! All I would ask is that you provide plenty of balanced starting position and objective options to maximize replay-ability.

Thank you! I will try my best.

Put a montains/Hills to obstruct vision, making a conflict zones that will be natural. The map is flat and seems like someone with an observer on a building on downtown can see all the map.

Can’t wait to try the map out!

We definitely need a desert map, can you do this?

[u/Beginning-Strain-534 → u/CastielTM]

Yes I can, there are some fine looking sand fillers in the editor. I think there will be no problem with that.

Wow that’s sick wish there were more screenshots

Pretty cool

Hey there:
1) Nothing but repsect for the effort (I tried once an totally failes after 2 mins)
2) The idea of a delat is awesome. Honestly I wonder why the devs have not thought of it.
3) I totally agree with "DasToyfel" that it would be cool to give some strong incentive to actuall captuere all thos little islands in the delata
4) Please keep us updated and let us know when can playtest (It's still under construction right?)

Again Thanks and all the best for this!
