I like this map, i just don't like how the road looks in the middle, even though i know you're making it symetrical. 9/10 |

AMajor (06/01/2008 07:50pm):
Looks cool. Who cares about the road? |
|
nirial1991 (06/02/2008 02:16am):
It looks like both armies will scramble to defend the HQ. Good work on bringing the fight to the middle. An A-Rank map if I ever saw one.10/10 |

nerd-boy (06/02/2008 06:11pm):
Well, it certainly looks good. The rivers in the middle of the shoal beaches are a little wonky, but I didn't even notice them until I looked at the map a second time. |

Harti1990 (06/03/2008 09:00am | Edited: 08/11/2008 04:28pm):
The rivers are there to avoid stalemates a bit (-> more options to attack meatshields with your own footsoldiers), so I don't get your point. Should I really rather replace them by "real" sea tiles? |
|
nerd-boy (06/03/2008 09:32pm):
No, they're perfectly fine as rivers. They just seem a bit strangely placed. But strange is good. Especially since it's original strange. |

Great map |
|
Mafiasco (08/13/2008 12:42am):
Nyvelion, this map is one of the best I've seen. If you aren't trolling, then you are an idiot. I didn't even see the rivers-in-shoal-beaches until I read the comments. |

rast2 (10/09/2008 11:37am):
I'm wondering why Nyvelion didn't flame this map on September 21st (or so). |

(EDIT-EXAMPLE OF ERRONEOUS COMMENTARY!!) So whats the story behind the HQ positions ? i dont see it myself. Pretty artificial without reason or any natural protection, could hardly be worse placed except in middle of enemy camp. Also will be highly unfair with Sami so no good in leagues (except the no-power one). So how did this get in Fog League=sami nightmare/ghost time.? (( i changed my mind... those forest behind HQ are mostly full of defenders, and a hq grab is pretty tricky without a considerable invasion first.)) |

Harti1990 (01/15/2009 10:23am):
HQs were placed to disable Tank/AA supply within 1 day, so you need to anticipate upcoming marches towards your HQ at least two days before possible capture. Or you at least need to have a unit around. Usually, the main fighting occurs between the airports and central-aligned cities, so heavy units will hardly go to the HQ, giving you the chance to block a HQ rush by simply putting 1 Infantry onto your HQ. As soon as your opponent charges towards your HQ with heavier units, you - of course - need to do something against this. Welcome to AW. Also, read the AW manual for "Fog of War", you definitely need to get Recons explained (which happen to do quite well at hitting Infantry and additionally have 5 vision), don't you? :/ |

Actually i seem to have forgotten to mention i do think its an original, good looking and interestingly terrained map ... i only usually comment on maps i like ! According to reported results there doesnt seem to be much problem with HQ grabs .... perhaps thats because-- in FOG-- theres plenty of forest hiding places for its defence imediately behind . i didnt find HQ problem in my game either....... But i did find it difficult to make attacking progress.... i think the reason for this is that most of the battle front along and to either side of the centre road seems very exposed and very difficult to cross with the awful prospect of being ambushed from the forests on the other side (FOG GAME). However the map analysis show very few draws .... so i guess there is no practical problem... but perhaps with fairly equally matched experienced players it may prove hard to win. I seem to be oscilating... Mind boggling map ! |

Corkerp (03/12/2009 11:02am):
I've come to the conclusion that Nyvelion is off her rocker. I really like the layout of this map. The fact that the HQs are out there and open for attacking makes for an interesting strategy. And the rivers-in-shoals thing was a pretty good idea. I wouldn't've noticed if I hadn't read the comments. |
|
Armageddon07 (06/07/2009 08:29am):
I like the shoal rivers. |
|
airob (09/23/2009 09:47pm):
nice forests/10 |
|
chrisdaboss (10/21/2009 07:33am):
Nyvelion is usually going to rate maps, like 1/10, but I rate this map 10/10. I like how you made the map to where the battle is brought to the middle. |

soundbreaker (06/07/2010 08:05am):
how do i play. |
|
wareagle (01/05/2011 08:26pm | Edited: 01/06/2011 07:51am):
I have over 500 games on here and i disagree with you. |

Roswell the Black Rose (07/16/2011 01:28am):
rainy isn't a S-rank fow map. it shaped nice, but there are too much forests. |
|
Madd Maxx (08/17/2011 02:19pm):
Too easy to capture the base early in the game. The defender has too manby trees to go through to get to his own base. I lost on day 8 on this map. I also had to deal with snow as he appeared on my base. |
|
xushu (10/12/2011 11:43am):
Not bad, but not great either... I just have never been impressed with this one. Stales are problematic here and the strategy is lacking compared to other maps. A strong map, don't get me wrong, just not awesome like some others. 8/10 |
|
Harti (05/08/2012 10:55am):
Yes, the map was modified once, I fixed the shoals to the very left and right of the map. And I think I added one more city per side. That's about it. I don't know what you're talking about Nyv, I also don't really care much, all I can say is that I couldn't tell the meaning of your original comment either but I felt like ignoring it was the way to go. Also I can't remember what it said so it would have been nice to keep it when you're already writing the essay of your life so that other individuals like the map owner can easily understand what this is all about. :) |

What is the Map Committee? |
|
liandry (06/13/2016 12:14pm):
A warning: do not play in rainy weather. |
|
Harti (10/13/2017 02:59pm):
Haha yup, you might wanna play this one in Clear and without FOW (ladder settings anyway). @Slazzy, the Map Committee are some people on the forums dedicating their attention to map design and balancing. They also got the power to get maps added/removed from A- and S-Rank categories and such. |

SonjaTheSuperior (06/27/2019 10:39am):
wow you played for at least 9 years, or came back. I wonder if you still play. |
|
SonjaTheSuperior (06/27/2019 10:39am):
Nope the stalking feature this game has on each players profile says last was in 2017. |
|
Harti (07/12/2021 12:39pm):
You’d be surprised ;) |
|
walkerboh01 (09/13/2021 04:18pm):
This map is in the Hall of Fame as one of the most influential standard competitive maps of its era (approx. 2007 - 2010). |
|
Lost and Found (05/11/2022 01:07am):
This map sure feels like a rainy day |
|
RainyPhantasm (06/02/2022 05:12am):
stally map |

ThePurpleKnightmare (06/27/2022 10:38pm | Edited: 06/27/2022 10:38pm):
This map makes no sense. It's easier for the enemies to get to your HQ than it is for you to get to your HQ. So unless you want to pre-emptively defend and then exchange other sides you just get overrun at your HQ. This was not fun, had to wait years to play through it and ultimately just got charged on by a massive army of tanks and 1 Infantry at my HQ. Can't react to it though, too many trees and water in the way. Worst map I've played so far. |

Witte711 (06/28/2022 01:23am):
I find it quite fitting that Drake has one of the highest winrates on a map titled Rainy |

Rock Golem (04/11/2024 05:32pm):
Yeah looking at this map, Kindle is actually tier 3 here. |
