Season 16 Map Presentation!

[Persuade]

After careful consideration, and many mock games with out finest players, we have decided our five final FML s16 maps.


We have even added some replays so you can enjoy them like we did, the games are fantastic display of what is to come.



Our first map is a map designed to utilize the elf race.  It has limited wood resources which will force other races to act in decisive manners.  Hoarding will be non-existent unless they find a way to trade resources like Age of Empires, and mental strategies will be key.

The second map is a map geared towards human strengths.  Plentiful expos will allow early expoing, and the base formation should prove to be either a boon or bane depending on what type of strategy the players tries to initiate.

Not to be left out, the Undead race will enjoy a blightful map.  For all those Undeads that complain about not being able to expo and always being at a disadvantage, we have the solution for you.  In addition, this is a tavernless map so other races will have to adapt without abusing the fearsome panda.

Our last map, the orc map, didn't have to be modified much.  After all, this game clearly favors orc anyway =D  I kid, I kid (but no really, I voted for just putting deathrose as the 4th map).  Instead we have modified the creep drops to include more dps focused items.  Things such as claws have an increased drop frequencies to play to Orc strength with the BM.

The final map, and our crowning gem, is the culmination of all that FML is meant to be.  The FML map literally spells out FML, and is balanced in such a way that no one will be able to complain.

As a courtesy we've included replays of games played on all of these maps.  Enjoy!

It's pretty disturbing the future of FML is looking for ridiculous gimmicks, I recommend abortion.

Yes, I hope this is an April Fools joke, these maps are very bad.  There's no way season 16 could be ran on these maps. 

In seriousness, if you want to create new maps for the season its a great idea, I was excited when I first heard the announcement.  There are specific traits of maps that favor certain races and could be built with those in mind rather then gimmicks or things like that...

I can give you some ideas (as I'm sure others could too) on what to include and not include on certain maps if you are really looking to favor certain races.  I love the idea of new maps, but not these ones.  Why not take some time to create new maps without having to benefit one race, but rather have different layouts, either way. 

Ex: One 8 player map, bigger, more mines, lots of creeps, merc camps, shops, NO LAB

One 4 player map, one natural expo for each player and 3 total contested expos after that.  7 mines + 4 natural for a total of 11 mines.  Uneven number promotes activity.  This map would be smaller, could have a lab and shops with strong red creeps too.

Another 6 player map with certain attributes, etc.  I wish I was good at the map editor or I would give it a try.  Worpex has made a solid map in the past, Persuade seems to have the knowledge on how to make a map (despite these maps...).  It could be done ! :)

You are all so incredibly gullible.... And you admin folk, didn't you know part of the April fool's rules is that you have to reveal the "gotcha!" on 4/2!

Nubs, the lot of ya!

Persuade/pinball didn't get their maps/replays done in time for 4/1 so we had to delay the process. LOL

My maps were done Saturday, but no one except me had the idea to have replays demonstrated with them, NO ONE would have downloaded and played on them, they look atrocious!

Can we get the murloc map added to the bot? Please?

Well, some of the new maps are more or less fun maps. But why not try something new after playing standard for 15 seasons?

We're working on it LW though comments and critiques are always welcome.  Suggestions make the league run!

Persuade is working on a brand new map (thats for real).
If you have the skill, try to make one too and we will see what happens.
