http://www.amarriner.com/awbw_forum/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=10780 ^ Here are some guides on mapmaking. I'd recommend reading at least the intro to mapping and the FTA extended. As for the map, it's a decent first attempt, certainly if you didn't know any of the information from the thread above. You've got a decent grasp of terrain variety at least, though the parts with nothing but roads and shoals aren't too interesting. There are a few glaring flaws though: 1. It's pretty much impossible to counter FTA on a map with only one starting base. Giving BM an infantry shifts the advantage entirely to BM. 2. Putting neutral bases and airports directly in the middle of a front is a pretty terrible idea. Whoever gets them first gets a huge advantage and will certainly win. Especially because there's only one airport, whoever gets it will be able to build Stealths and the opponent can't build anything to counter them. You could fix the first by giving both players 2 bases at the start, and the second by turning the bases and airport in the middle into cities (and maybe putting extra bases and airports elsewhere). Also, I noticed a slight symmetry mistake with the forests near the players' HQ. |
