FS The Hills Have Eyes (2-6) Options

[Rampastring]

Since I can edit my posts now, I've updated the download of the newest map version (1.2) to this post (It was in post #25 originally).

Here is my third map.

Size: 120x140
Players: 6
Mapper: ^Rampastein
Lighting: Bright "golden", will change to dark red after some time of gameplay.
Tiberium amount: Medium

The civilians in the area are annoyed of the war and of the battles in the area, and have warned the commanders that if they kill too many of the civilians they should start digging graves for their soldiers.

It's the end of summer in this map, and the night is coming while the players are building their bases and fighting in the area.

After some time the night comes, and there is a beautiful red glow in the sky.

This map's lighting will start going darker and more red while playing, but it doesn't have a day/night loop.

Day will last long, then it starts getting darker quickly, then it comes red, and after a long time it becomes even darker and the red glow in the sky gets stronger, making the ground red too.

This map has the following keys in the AI section.

Paranoid=no ; To make sure the AI players don't ally with the civilians.
ComputerBaseDefenseResponse=8 ; To make sure that the civilians will get some damage if they attack an AI player's base or harvesters.

So, this map is a free-for-all map.

I Did promise you I'd get you a full review at some point. Now because I never go back on my promises, Here it is (as promised).

Detail : 7 / 10 - It wasn't bad actually, you're best detailing yet. The only major issues that I saw was that slopes are a little bit blocky, and that the same LAT tile is used too much one one place. However, using the sand around the dirtroads was a nice touch, thumbs up on that one.

Layout : 7 / 10 - Again, It wasn't bad. I'm liking the use of water to seperate the positions used here, It works effectively. I'll tell you what though, the layout may be good, but the AI was a pain pain in the ass too attack on this map. It didn't attack me, It just left all of it's forces in its base and everytime I attacked them, my armies got battered.

Lighting : 8 / 10 - You seem to like being adventurous with the lighting, which is never a bad thing, the different day-night loop lightings looked good to me, apart from that horrible pitch black building lighting (Yeah, Pitch black may be a bit of an over exaduration).

Triggers : 5 / 10 - Good to see a day-night loop. You could've added some extra triggers to improve the game-play. Something like meteors would've been a nice touch.

Overall : 7.5 / 10 - I woudln't say spotlight worthy, but deffinately a contender for the massive map pack. I Had fun on this one, despite the fact the AI was just boring and didn't move (Unless the AI was in the bottom right possition). Some more triggers could be added, and a little bit of spicing up on the detailing, and you'll have yourself a nice map here.

Good Job, Keep it up.
