This is my first published map. It took me about a week to finish it. There's a big crater in the middle of the map, which is full of tiberium and tiberium lifeforms. There is a small city near it and a train going around the map. I also tested curving tunnels in this map. I wanted to put some triggers in this map, so I made the local church emit the holy light of God. Destroy it, and He'll pay you back big time.

Number of downloads: 477Here are some other screenshots: Pic1, Pic2, Pic3I had some difficulties with the tracks going under bridges. As you can't put them both in the same cell, I had to use tunnels to make the train move under the bridges. If anyone has a better solution for this problem, please tell me! I also noticed that the train stops if a visceroid comes in front of it. I had to make all the tiberium lifeforms Crushable=yes to make the train move continuously. But now also other vehicles can crush them. Is it possible to make them crushable by only the train? Constructive criticism is welcome!

I'm impressed, this is a nicely done map, not too detailed and not underdetailed (apart from some plain areas). Also if the train has Train=yes it should crush anything, from infantry to even buildings. The train should have this tag by default. Anyway, I'm quite fond of your mapping style, the map itself seems balanced as well. Try getting more variation in the city by using different pavement tiles like the cracks and avoid using the same building in the city more than once (unless it's a large city), I know there's a lack in variety, but try to make it as less repetetive as you can. Anyway, keep up the good work, I can see you producing some good maps in the future.

Thanks for your feedback! I tried it without the crushable=yes tag, and it works now as it's supposed to. For some reason the train stopped when I was testing it for the first time, don't know why... Yes, the cities are quite hard to make, I'll have to improve them in my next maps.

This is exceptional. There are very few real 3 player maps, and even fewer balanced 3 player maps.

I made some improvements on the map. I added more details in the emptier areas, and changed some buildings in the city. The lightning should be better too. I'll update the pictures tomorrow. @Dudeinabox: The tunnels were not hard to make after I read the tutorials. It's just adding numbers in the text file. @Orac: That's why I decided to make it for 3 players only. I'm not sure if it's balanced, I concentrated more on the outlook of the map.

Wow, that's map is awesome. The lighting is really unique, and the detailling is also unique and realistic!
Spotlight to the max!

Thanks! And I hope others would also test it and give some comments about the gameplay itself. What tiberium fields do you mean, I can't notice any without lightposts. At first I had less visceroid in the crater, but added some more to make it "dangerous" or whatever... Well, I'll remove some of them.

DiaB, remember that if you're playing T.I. the Visceroids weapon mutates anything organic upon death, that'd be whats causing your visceroid invasion problem.
