New Map: The Dark Ages - Southeast
Re: New Map: The Dark Ages - Southeast
Whoa dude, you have to slow down a little. What you are offering here is like a 7 course meal. You have to give us time to digest them. The maps are great, but it takes a while to learn the subtleties.... I fear that a truly great map may get missed, because they are all too good. Why not bring out 1 per month?

I'm kind of with Mike here - the maps are brilliant, no question - but I don't like the release of seven tiny bits. I'd personally like to see the whole thing, size be damned - I can scale it myself if necessary. The last one I downloaded (Southeast) only takes about 15% of my screen. Whilst each map is individually gorgeous, none of them (with all due respect) are going to stand the test of time as classics. The complete thing will...consider this a request!
I understand what you're saying, Mike, but I think people can still take the time to learn each individual map regardless if the others are available in the plugin manager.Mike wrote:Whoa dude, you have to slow down a little.

I agree with you completely preach... I can see the Anti-Holy good lurking inside you! I made the main map, then used the 6 starting positions as the basis for the 6 smaller maps for three reasons:Preacherman wrote:Whilst each map is individually gorgeous, none of them (with all due respect) are going to stand the test of time as classics.

- The main map is too large for most screen resolutions, so I wanted smaller ones that people wouldn't have to scroll
- The main map takes forever to play, so I wanted maps that people could play quickly for network games
- The 6 smaller maps can be used as qualifying maps in a Dark Ages tournament
