Title: New Maps - Comments and Critiques
Post by: FML|Mage on November 19, 2012, 02:25:12 pm
Our very own Persuade has gone to the effort to begin the process of re-inventing some lesser used maps and make them more viable for the FFA community.  I personally think that this is a great idea, and could lead to some more awesome FFA games.  I've opened this thread to raise awareness that these new maps are available, and to provide a forum for constructive criticism and brainstorming on how to further the goal of making these maps better.  Flames will not be tolerated, and there is no guarantee that ideas suggested will be implemented.  The bot contains both of the maps, and as such they can be downloaded off of the bot.  Instructions can be found here (http://ffamasters.net/index.php?topic=825.0).

Twisted Meadows Change Log
Quote
-Removed islands by creating a shallow water, medium sized choke, ramp to the Goblin Lab side of the island
-Added trees to main to compensate for those that were removed

Friends Change Log
Quote
-Narrowed entrances to main's by adding more trees
-Adjusted creep drops
-Added creeps

The change logs will be updated as changes are made.  Thanks for the help!

I think with the amount of trees i added on friends, it visually looks unappealing, so i probably will adjust that a bit, maybe make the back entrances smaller too.

any suggestions about friends would be welcome, the only problems i can foresee is that teaming from two sides might be too strong on friends.

I just tested FML-Friends, imo there should be more trees and they shoudlnt be so far away from the main.

Ill make majority of trees behind the main then, and give the base layout more of a "base" feel, rather than tons of open area

Why even attempt to make Friends a decent map? That map is atrocious.

I never said the remake is bad, I just said the original is bad. I just can't fathom any possible way to make that map even remotely good.
