Re: Build A World Map Making Contest!
Anyone know how to get the doodad rocks/glaciers to touch or overlap? There seems to be a restriction preventing them from getting too close but on some maps I see them overlap. Hold Shift while placing them.  If you dont know about theese: Ctrl + Page Up/Page Down = Rising/Lowering of the object Ctrl + Left Mouse = Rotation of the obejct Shift + Right Mouse = Zoom in/Out Ctrl + Right Mouse = Camera rotation December 25, 2016, 06:34:08 pm |

Re: Build A World Map Making Contest!
Its not that we need a specific 4- , 6- , 8- or whatever player map. What FML in general needs is a really balanced map between multiple playstyles that will live for many seasons. I will give examples: Market Square and Twilight Ruins are probably the most played on maps. Both of them have just the right amount of creeps to earn good items, level your heroes, acquire goldmines etc. But what they also have, and that is crucial, is the possibility to play the map differently, according to one's style. Both on Market and on Twilight there is the possibility to spawn very close to an opponent. This gives the option to rush (bear in mind that "rush" in FFA usually means fast 80 food push) while still not falling behind. Of course, other players tend to play it peaceful and creep and/or hoard and try to avoid fighting as long as possible. Both of these maps allow both kinds of play and that makes them the best for FFA. The closest to them are probably Silverpine and Deathrose but they have too strong item stacking possibilities which make them very very slightly subpar in my opinion. Other maps that were listed here lack certain qualities, listed above. For instance, Emerald Shores is a very aggressive map. Harvest of Sorrow is a long drawn map and games are usually very long because of its layout. Not to say that they are bad but what makes them slightly inferiour to Market and Twilight is that rushing on Harvest is super hard without falling far behind while playing peaceful will get you killed on Emerald. There is no adaptation when going into the match (except if you know that a player will play the same style no matter what) on certain maps, because of their structure. There are many other examples of maps that lack something: Gold Rush has too many gold mines which again prohibits rushing; Deadlock has too little creeps; Savage Storm has too little goldmines, hard creeps and islands; Monsoon has wood problems, imbalanced creeping and spawning patterns etc. etc. So what I would recommend is that you find a good balance between spawning locations (I would say its better to be more than 4 so that it gives this random effect on the course of the game like Twilight or Market but that is up to you), creeps that wont leave your heroes at lvl 3 2 1 or lvl 5 5 5, a balanced number of goldmines (yes, its fun to have an uneven number but it creates either towering contest or heavy teaming, so to have a perfect FFA map I'd say leave this option out) and items that would not change the course of a game (e.g. not have a single huge red camp that drops two tome of powers etc.). With all that being said, I still like refreshment in the scene so any new ideas are welcome. The text above was just a description of what the perfect FFA map would be. However, there is a reason we do play other maps as well, even if they are imbalanced or favour certain playstyles. So you can produce something out of the ordinary and still qualify for a good map for FML! :) December 27, 2016, 03:04:50 am |

FINAL PREDICTION
i havent seen any predictions so far so lets do someeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Sergio will be in the winning position after defeating qwest who did a greedy fast tech! while the whole fml crew is cheering for him on his Stream suddenly a SWAT team enters his room handcuffing him and deporting him back to Mexico. While Sergio is blaming the SWAT team for teaming him cuz his name is sanchez, Maga in form of a bat flies through the window takeing control over the game. After the Mogcident maga decided to become a bulgarian Exchange student in america. Rumor has it it was Maga who called the Immigration Police so he can get his 4th FML title but I dont know if that is true. Haveing no idea how to play any other race than undead maga will be struggeling to get his dr to lvl 6 to charm an akolyte and go dual race. Meanwhile Wrecktify Aka Big Ben escapes from the Pro Bowl preperation seeing maga is trying to get his 4th title and flies straight to colorado to stop maga wearing garlic and crosses. But Wrecktify Van Helsing wont make it in time but someone else will........ Seeing trough Magas plan of winning the finals Mog sold him a bad Frappucino at Starbucks a few hours earlier. While Maga is sprinting to the toilete Mog takes over the game! Good for Mog: Sergio randomed elf! Bad for Mog: Maga already lost all elf buildings and Units and only the Ud ones were saved! Haveing no Idea how to play Undead Mog pauses the game to wait for magas return from toilette to teach him how to play undead and play stone scissor paper who of them gets the title! But what is that Qwest suddenly unpauses the game without asking if the others are ready. Beeing fully aware of the -4 point penalty he might receive after a warning first he starts attacking Mog who has no pauses left! At the other Side of the Map Noe just found out that taylor swift published her new music video with zayn: . Taylor felt that Noe needs inspiration for the final and finished the music video just in time to give him some. Beeing pushed by that power Noe should easily overcome dv....if not... dv would be a huge taylor swift fan too! Noone here will forget when Taylor canceled her Kazahkstan tour and Dv traveled to Paris for a concert of her missing the season 22 semi final giving his slot to ztsoso! But there are also other factors deciding a ffa game! like all Men Dv isnt capable of Multitasking. Playing an Fml final while haveing to feed your goats/llamas is never easy. And we live in dark and evil times where you cant just pause a game and go afk feeding your goat anymore without someone unpausing like back in the good old days of season 23 and earlier. But noe is also distracted. After finishing his exams on friday he met a cute swiss girl and is whatsapping nonstop with her during the game! SO thats a 1n1 on equal terms we have here! In mexico arrived sergio is struggeling to fiend his way in life since his natural latino charm makeing him big in the USA is nothing special in mexico! Seeing his Tower Defence replays Trump hires him to build the wall and offers him a free membership in an internet caffee in lima to finish his fml game! Takeing over the control from mog, Sergio turns the tides around and gets into a position he can fight qwest again! Part 2 will follow later todaaaaaaaay January 27, 2017, 02:55:55 am |
