Oh my... why do everyone fill their maps with shoal nowadays -.- Do you guys even have creativity? |

tst5381 wrote on one of his own maps: Sometimes you guys should try having some fun with different map styles. Advance Wars is a interesting game because it has many different kinds of game-plays, which vary not only from different players, but also from different map styles. looks like shoals are nowadays the want-to-make tile for making maps....as for me...i used them on my map to have a 1-movement tile for tire units that doesn´t make koal broken |

tst5381 (02/08/2009 06:32pm): Oh my... why do everyone fill their maps with shoal nowadays -.- Do you guys even have creativity? What? How is that not creative? Everyone???? I have not seen anyone else make a map with shoals instead of plains-there may be a few maps like this, but there are not many. It is a ridiculous and not true to say that everyone fills their maps with shoals. |

tst5381 (02/08/2009 07:45pm | Edited: 02/08/2009 08:04pm):
A good and unique map should consider both playability and appearance. In my opinion these clumsy shoals look far away from decent. And I just felt kind of sick when many people are using other's idea rather than their own ones. My previous words may be a bit rude. I apologize for that. |

airob (02/08/2009 07:54pm):
yea btu everyone uses properties..just look at it that way what if i want to make a map where the poor rocket,reckon are not sad because they have a dificult traverse...at least for me i just want a tile to let´s them traverse it freely...i don´t use roads cuz of koal and i don´t use cities or used silos cuz of fund distortion and imbalance and kindle´s broken status on cities...also used silos provide of a hell defensive comparatively to what would be a 3-point defense filled map...that´s not what i want |

Kruegster (02/08/2009 08:13pm | Edited: 02/08/2009 08:16pm):
tst5381, I would like to make something perfectly clear: I DON’T CARE AT ALL ABOUT THE APERANCE OF A MAP! And just to support this statement, here is a map I made that has a very unusual appearance: http://awbw.amarriner.com/prevmaps.php?maps_id=42716 What makes a map good? I think that all that really matters is the playability. And to that existent, this map should be considered decent; it will be an unusual battle, because there will not be many tanks, but rather there will be many black boats, copters, and anti airs. I am not saying a map that looks beautiful is bad; I am simply saying that what makes AWBW fun, in my opinion, is playing the game, not staring at a pretty map. Also I want to make it perfectly clear (even though I already said this in my other comment), I have not seen another map with as many shoals as my map. So tst5381, you should not accuse me of stealing the idea. I admit that someone else MAY have done something similar, but I have not seen it! I thought of making this map with shoals on my own. And airob brings up some decent points, but airob, you shouldn’t bar yourself from making roads, or making a map how you want too just because of a CO like koal. If one CO will have a huge advantage, then you can specify in a comment that the CO will be unfair. |

Shadow Star (02/08/2009 08:50pm):
Koal's power and D2D is not enough to make you use less roads. Because he only gets the bonus on roads, that means you're putting your troops in zero cover. it's better to have your troops on plains than roads with Koal, 10% defense is better than 10% offense. (and there's more ways to raise defense than offense.) Kindle, is worth worrying over, but if less than 20% of the map is property, and there aren't loads of property by the chokepoints, then she should be fine as well. |
|
Kruegster (02/08/2009 08:56pm):
I agree with Shadow Star; Koal's advantage is small, and one should not have to make less roads because of one CO. |

airob (02/08/2009 09:03pm | Edited: 02/08/2009 09:10pm):
ok,ok....sigh..as long i think that will be the only map with lot of shoals i will make also i will say it again...i made a map where tire units aren´t slow...that´s why i dind´t put much plains and also i considered two things: give a 110/100 stat to koal or make lander and black boat transport easy???..i choosed the second if it weren´t for cuz i wanted the naval transport easy i would have putted mor roads than shoals believe me....but tha are the two amin reason why i put shoals.... at least have you seen the map?? is the one below this |

Kruegster (02/08/2009 09:07pm):
...Yes I have seen your map. I don't think it would make any differance if you would replace the bridges with roads. |
|
airob (02/08/2009 09:11pm | Edited: 02/08/2009 09:12pm):
bridges??? wouldn´t you say the shoals????...if the bridges are what concersn you then i will replace them.. and shadow star look at my 3 coment..i explain what you say there |
|
Kruegster (02/08/2009 09:22pm):
Fine… I will give a comment of your map. Link: http://awbw.amarriner.com/prevmaps.php? maps_id=42510 |

Nyvelion (02/09/2009 06:21am):
If you just want to be sure that Koal isn't overpowered, you could just use bridges instead of roads. Koal doesn't get the insane bonus on bridges. Though, having all shoals is still fine. It would be nice if AWBW didn't try to "fix" the corners though. |

Everzwijn (02/09/2009 10:18am):
You FOOLS! KOAL doesn't even NEED roads! >:[ |

Kruegster (02/09/2009 01:54pm):
Who started talking about Koal =\ there arn't and roads or briges on this map anyways, so koal doesn't matter... Harti1990 (02/09/2009 04:06am): Singular: fish Plural: fish The plural form of fish can be fish or fishes, but “fishes” is less commonly used; both fish and fishes are acceptable though. |

me wrote: i don´t use roads cuz of koal and yea i accept i started talking of him....but i tryoied to mean like in my map...maybe i didn´t explain it very well and i apologie for that....but my intention was not to burn koal i wast just wondering what terrain seth would be better for my map...and inthat place i wanted to mean my map..so i apologie for my bad also have you noticed how YOUR map got to be the topic of MY map.??? lol that and sorry too :( |

I'm not a fan of maps filled with shoals at all, they look really ugly. Sorry, but I really don't like it that much. 5/10 |

Ducky (02/09/2009 04:47pm):
the origin of the 1-10 rating system is somewhere dark. I want a 0-1 rating system where you pick 1 if you like it and 0 if you don't. The 1-10 system will inevitably pervert into that anyways. |

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder-and some people need glasses-(JK Duelstriker doesn’t need glasses just because his opinion is that my map is ugly, and I believe it is magnificent). But seriously: I don’t really care what the map looks like as long as its playability is good, so by that standard I believe the map should be considered good- I think it can have a decent battle. airob (02/09/2009 01:35pm): umm kuergster...i tihk you made a mistake... airob you have confused me XD… I don’t know what this comment means: airob (02/08/2009 08:03pm): at least have you seen the map?? is the one below this http://awbw.amarriner.com/prevmaps.php?maps_id=42510 this is the link to your map, which was below mine in Waiting Public Games, but now you are saying you wanted me to look at this map http://awbw.amarriner.com/prevmaps.php?maps_id=43024 so what did you mean by “is the one below this one"? I am confused =( airob I am not trying to be rude, but now I am not understanding some of your comments, for instance, Kruegster (02/08/2009 08:07pm): ...Yes I have seen your map. I don't think it would make any difference if you would replace the bridges with roads. airob (02/08/2009 08:11pm): bridges??? wouldn´t you say the shoals????...if the bridges are what concerns you then i will replace them.. In this comment, I am not sure if you were talking about my map or your map. |

airob (02/10/2009 03:04pm):
my map....as i say sorry....well let´s just leave it like how it is...the one map i have been talkin about and arguing was "fiery beach" so if you didn´t understand sorry.......as it can be obvious...my english is not so good and i tend to confuse most people sorry |

Kruegster (02/12/2009 09:55pm):
That’s one long comment airob, but thanks for the explanation; it has clear things up. I now understand without a doubt that you have been referring to this map: http://awbw.amarriner.com/prevmaps.php?maps_id=43024 “Fiery Beach”. |

walkerboh01 (02/04/2011 03:26pm):
Wow I think you're all crazy, this map looks pretty cool. I for one have not seen a single other map like this on the site, and I just finished looking through over 1000 maps, re-categorizing them. This map looks like it will play well (although it may be a little open in some places, the center most notably). I think the map could use one more property one space diagonally away from the NW and SE missile silos, and at least 2 more forests in that block of 15 tiles in the center, and it would be improved. Nice map though, I put this into Good 2 Player maps, it belongs in there. |

Kruegster (02/14/2011 09:21pm):
Thank you Walkerboh (Kruegstr is my other account for maps). I recently played this map vs blanci 1, and I learned quite a bit. The map had decent game-play, but I didn't like how all the fighting came to the middle and had the potential to turn into a draw. blanci and I disscussed some of the changes you have suggested. I have made two major edits to it by moving the capitals and adding another base by each capital. Now there are more areas of attack, and it will be easier to get to the opponet's capital. However, the strategies of the map are not changed much. (This map is good for units such as black boats, copters, recons, and maybe rockets) |
|
walkerboh01 (02/15/2011 12:18am):
Looks good! One small thing with STA though. The fronts are uneven property-wise, and because of the FTA counter that means 2P will get more properties first; i.e. STA. If you move one city from near the backwards base to the forwards base, then I think it would be okay. |
|
Kruegster (02/15/2011 12:59am):
Hmmm. I know the FTA counter should equal $1500, and so the infantry preferably gets placed on the more important base when there are 2 bases and one capital. But this is the first time I have heard anything about a possible STA because of city placement... you could be right walkerboh01, but IF you are, it would be a pretty small STA. Nevertheless, I moved one city nearer to the base by each player's capital. |
|
walkerboh01 (02/15/2011 02:03am):
Yeah it's a deeper issue of FTA that not many people are aware of. It is a small matter of STA, but it's easy to fix and shouldn't affect the game otherwise so there's no reason not to make the change. |

blanci1 (05/06/2011 04:00am):
WOW amazing amount of debate over what was a very trial idea-phase map, which was totally stand-offish drawn in its previous life (without the wing factories) ... and that issue was totally overlooked in all that debate ...Ha ha lol. The re-incarnation has much more chances of making progress obviously, though the walker-kreugstr test game has become a similar stand-off after the invasion of the other- mans island got re-buffed for both. I think greater effort to hold the foothold on the other island might just be possible ... One other way to disrupt stand-off of course would be to put some seam on that pipe !! |
