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.

WOW

sorry it took so long to spot this map..

This map has a lot of good eye candy and good lighting, nice layout, I also like the day/night thing you did with it.

My biggest problem with this map are the overpowered civilians. It's one thing to make them a small harassment, but anything more than that is straight annoying to the gameplay.

1. The AI attacks civilians as if they were a player
2. Your units will not auto attack the neutral house. I got very sick of having laser-cars go to the middle of my base unchallenged and then unloading all sorts of super-missile infantry all over the place.
3. These civilians here are straight overpowered. They're everywhere, killing everything.. a pickup killed my mammoth MK2! I don't even want to start on the superheavy obelisk-of-darknesses all around.
It makes it very annoying to try and scout, and attack, then have your army die by a few railgun-carrying civilians

Take away the fighting civilians, and you've got a spotlight
Keep some SAM and some small outposts, but please get rid of the major stuff
