An attempt at a 5-player Star Island. It might be slightly weird in one place of so but in
my opinon I reckon it's a fair do.
BadFurDay (10/09/2007 01:36pm):
BH is one tile closer to the middle (not that it changes too much anyway), put them one
tile further back away from it (plus, they're the only ones with a FTA counter, gives them
some sort of a fifth turn advantage (?), though the map being a FFA it shouldn't matter
too much)
DuelStriker (10/09/2007 02:33pm):
Remove the pipe and add terrain.
Tyrael (10/09/2007 02:43pm):
Looks pretty good. Add a couple forests and move BH back a space. Also, just a
suggestion, put plains/shoal tiles 1 East 1 South and 2 West 1 South of BH infantry's current
position to loosen up the bottleneck by their starting position. Otherwise great map.
lightnaros (10/09/2007 03:12pm):
throw in a couple of forests and maybe 5 mountains. looks decent.

TheCOMET (10/09/2007 03:50pm):
I agree wif Tyael but disagree wif BadFurDay & DualStriker, they always mok our maps,
they dont play them, so why should they comment them, have they actualy made a grade S
map, i think not so why say things like that, tut tut, not good... But good idea Tyrael
BadFurDay (10/09/2007 03:51pm):
So, TheCOMET, if I understand well, you are pissed at me because I badly rate maps I
consider bad?

Right...

Hey, it's the internet after all. Serious business. Very serious.
Billten (10/09/2007 03:55pm | Edited: 10/09/2007 04:00pm):
Leave it out on my maps or I'll end up causing MASSIVE Damage. Have your lovers tiffs in
privacy TYVMNGTBFGSBIVLTAINSTAK.

TheCOMET (10/09/2007 03:59pm):
leave this web site alone, if your here to mok other peoples maps, you have come to the
wrong place. why dont you make maps and let us rate and comment them, i would love to do
that, works both ways
BadFurDay (10/09/2007 04:04pm | Edited: 10/09/2007 04:05pm):
Well, TheCOMET, I have quite a few maps designed, just look at my profile.
Feel free to rate them as you wish, give them 1/10s if you feel like it (though that would
be quite stupid, I always rate fairly), I really don't care about marks, I only care about
giving constructive criticism and pointing out what's good/bad in order for people to
balance their maps for fair games.


Anyway, back to the topic, Billten's map.

With that edit it's quite better already, but the pipe in the bottom looks like a random
cockblock. GE and YC will already take longer than the others to capture their cities, so
why make it harder for them to enter battle?
Billten (10/09/2007 04:06pm):
And let GE and YC blow the brains out of each other while the other 3 armies watch?
Billten (10/09/2007 04:10pm | Edited: 10/09/2007 04:12pm):
Bugger post.
BadFurDay (10/09/2007 04:11pm | Edited: 10/09/2007 04:11pm):
Well, it seems like if GE and YC want to win, they'll also have to go for the middle anyway.

Then, if isolating armies to make sure they meet in the middle is your goal, I guess you
should probably isolate a bit more BH from OS and BE, since it'll be forced to confront
both at the same time permanently.
Billten (10/09/2007 04:13pm):
I've just already made BH more bottle neck free and by your suggestion it just seems like
I'm putting that bottle neck back in.
DuelStriker (10/09/2007 04:34pm):
Umm... I offered advice, TheCOMET. I am not "moking" the map, I gave the mapmaker some
advice (which I am glad he followed.) Also, you should be the one who shouldn't come to
this site if you are gonna say things like that about us.
BadFurDay (10/09/2007 04:42pm):
Well Billten, I didn't rate it yet, giving it a 9/10, 5 player FFA maps are hard to do and
this one should fit this type of games fine enough.

I don't like to have cities side-to-side in maps I play, so that's the only thing really
bringing it down. Might be totally choked for game endings, but I guess if one can
accumulate enough funds by controlling the middle, he can just barge through the other
bottlenecks, so it's fine as is.
Metalic_Dragon (10/09/2007 05:33pm):
Um yeah, Comet, learn to take constructive critisism before you even think about going to
AWBW.
Tyrael (10/09/2007 06:08pm):
Looks great. I like the little islands to the side, add a nice visual. It's a little imbalanced (BH
gets LTA) but I don't think there's any real way to fix that. Also with 5 players it's really not
a big deal.
And to Comet, BadFur and DualStriker aren't bad people. You might disagree with how they
voice thier opinions, but they really mean well. Probably. ;)
Billten (10/10/2007 12:08pm):
STAY ON TOPIC WITH THE COMMENTS CHILDREN!
DuelStriker (10/18/2007 06:36pm):
9/10 because 5P FFA maps are hard to balance/make
Nyvelion (01/21/2013 05:58pm):
Without ports, how will they capture the 3 islands?
