[Slender Mang]

Seeing as most of my maps were lost when i had to reinstall windows im starting a new one its gonna be based on niagara falls huge river with 4 players and a town
Completion:10.50 %

Story:Niagara Falls once a main attraction for tourists now a desolate yellow zone tiberium poisoning has drastically changed the landscape creating a desert few still stay here only millata or mutants
Crappy story yes i know

Other notes:Im a novice mapper dont except it to be extremely good also this will not be a replica of the actual thing

oh, niagra falls! i've been there on vacation, are you making it like the real one?

[Team Black]

heh, Niagra falls is a couple of hours away to drive I used to go there with my dad all the time when I was a kid - on the Maid of the Mist an all that, eatin fudge. Good stuff XD

Them horseshoe falls will be difficult to do though, since there's only straight-cliff waterfall tiles. Still though, might be worth trying XD

[Ixith]

ahh the Maiden of the Mist tour. that was great. Went to Niagara falls on a advanced placement school trip to Canada. costed like $400+ some i think but was totally worth it.

yea makin those Horse shoe falls section would be hard but hey ya never know what tiberium poisoning can do to land scapes i suggest using 3 of the facings of waterfalls near each other though.
anyways good luck with this map. hope to see a good finished product when the time comes.

What's the point of starting a thread with nothing to show? We aren't interested in that you started a map, we're interested in the map

Crappy insult.

I would think it was a compliment. Grasshopper is a weapon in Liero which bounces from objects, shattering sharp pieces all the time.



And...I agree with Crash King.

Dear Lone Wolf;

[Ixith]

well see here. I think Lone Wolf wants our input on his map idea which is perfectly fine to but yes it is generally best to have something already started and to show it.

Also the grasshopper thing if i am right it comes from some movie. Its actually quite funny.

Dear Lone Wolf;

If you dont like it then why the f*ck are you here?

No need to post if there's nothing helpful to post,
@Lone: Shore errors, get marble, straight shores, never use two trees next to eachother.

Because I want to say that a topic of a map with absolutely no pictures has failed? Yes, your idea is nice, but I can't see the reason to make a topic before you have anything done. Who knows if you had canceled the map immediately; that would have made this topic useless crap. And, that's not what we want.

Anyways, now that you have gathered some pictures to judge from:

The civilian base. I'm not much fan of those, but this one looks decent. One thing though, the Titan near the bottom line of the map will become invisible ingame, because everything approximately four cells away from the bottom blue line will not be visible ingame. Thus, the base is too much in the south.

The waterfall. You should read what Ixith pointed out about three connected waterfalls. Also, don't make it to the corner, or it will be just a minor eye-candy.

I cant seem to get the slopes to work some one mind helping me?

[Crash]

You probably are trying to make slopes on a ground which is on the lowest height level, that won't work. Go to Map tools and click "Change map height" and then heighten the whole terrain with preferebly two levels up.

[Slender Mang]

Tryed that didn't work am i doing something wrong?

[Slender Mang]

Hahahah im gonan revive this baby from the dead! not gonan have much to do on first couple days of school might as well work on this
