I'm not entirely sure I want the airports on this map. Considering replacing them with cities.
blozzee (12/10/2012 02:09pm):
Game on map like this would turn into a bad stalemate if airport is not utilized. I also
notice an issue how chokey this map is, either side will be flocking in the middle.
ChurKirby (12/10/2012 04:19pm):
I see your point but then if the seams are broken the centre becomes considerable less chokey,
same goes for the bridges - I wanted to encourage breaking the seams to open up the map. If
people want to play Indirect Wars, I can see how it could become a problem, but I think that
comes down to the map itself, it would be difficult to remove all chokepoints. On second thought,
you're right about the airports.
Mori2 (12/10/2012 05:32pm):
Blozzee is right, this map is nearly unplayable at the competitive level due to the chokeyness,
which is a shame, since it has a pretty unique layout to it. Strongly recommend breaking some of
those pipe seams as a start.

My main problem with this map is the lack of contested properties. I think this map is
fairly chokey even with the seams broken...
Mori2 (12/10/2012 06:04pm):
Yup. No real reason to advance, no real way to advance. Looks pretty though, which is why
I'm afraid to ask for a complete terrain rework.
ChurKirby (12/10/2012 06:18pm):
it's a good job I always wait for feedback on my maps before trying anything, because I seem to
have a poor eye for game-breaking flaws in a map.

...I'll see what I can do.
Daehphone (12/10/2012 06:29pm):
You have a good eye for aesthetics and that's always a good first step
ChurKirby (12/10/2012 07:26pm | Edited: 12/10/2012 07:26pm):
Well, thanks - only problem being that I usually put more effort into making a map look nice than
making it playable...!

Edited the map; made some pretty radical changes, (you probably wouldn't notice the difference
too much to be honest) I can only hope it actually went some way to making it more playable.
blozzee (12/11/2012 07:53am):
the map is better now
Mori2 (12/14/2012 04:37am):
Gonna test this one out on the M. Games thingy, thank Headphone for being such a cool person.
ChurKirby (12/15/2012 09:06am | Edited: 12/15/2012 09:09am):
Alright, s'pose I should step up and test out my map then, having spent a good couple of hours
messing around creating / editing it!

Sick map, yo.
