Lake Istelv (2-4), oh shi- its map 23...oh NOEES Options

[Ixith]

Well after many delays from me being on an off mapping time here it is.

Name: Lake Istelv
Map Maker: Ixith
Map Size: 110X115
Players: 2-4
Theatre: Temperate, Lake
Info: This is a 4 player Lake map. The map provides players with a nice place to wreck havoc upon. Plenty of build room for players and there is plenty of tiberium to harvest throughout the map. Tactical possibilities are everywhere such as higher ground, pinchpoints, and the use of bridges. This is my 23rd released map so enjoy it.

Story: Lake Istelv is a very clean lake that has 2 rivers providing it with its water and lets out as 1 river in the South. The communities around the Lake have always been quite productive and active. The area itself has, for the most part, avoided being infected with Tiberium.

yea the story sucks but hey this map wasn't really based off of a story. Also note that Lake Istelv is yet another geographical site of the Leviasc/Holixe/Yelcraz series.

EDIT: Fixed some stuff up.
-Cliff error fixed.
-Day Light has been reduced by 10
-Waterfall Yellow lighting now turns off during day.
-My usual Destroy church scrooge trigger has been added to all the churches.
-Maybe something else?
(for more comments about the edits see post below)

Well after a long time playing against 3 level 1 a.i.s, I think I can give a review now.

The first thing I'll bring up is the lighting. I don't know why all these people are complaining about the lighting. I thought that the lighting was excellent. The blue gave it a very nice touch. I didn't even notice that yellow. The day/night loop was excellent as well. I really like the lighting. The only thing wrong is that I can't really see anything at the very top of my screen when it gets dark (But maybe because I have a 20" LCD monitor by Samsung and I sorta slouch in the chair when I play ).

The next thing I'll comment on is the tiberium. Again, I don't know why people are complaining. There wasn't too much, and there wasn't too little. It was at the Goldilocks level. I never ran out of cash (But that maybe because I have modded the game so that I can start with 30,000 credits, very useful. I only start with 15,000-20,000 though). Very good placement, with good lighting for it as well.

Now for the civilians. Once again, why do people complain? The towns were built like New York City (more so Manhattan, the Bronx and Queens are just messed with layout ). The roads are straight, with a mix up of buildings, abandoned and occupied (again, like NYC). Very good layout IMO. I thought that there could have been a bit more traffic though, with maybe one or two vehicles driving at night (not everyone sleeps soundly). A couple people wander too far away from their little settlements, but thats alright.

Well thats I can think of right now. It is a very excellent map, well deserving of the spotlight. I might add more on this later, so stay tuned.

Aren't you a bit scared to drive when there are 30 tick tanks next to your car?

Nope
