Titel: My collection of maps
Beitrag von: Titan am 8. Mai 2016, 16:31
Well, seeing as I've already made several posts in the showcase thread I thought I'd just put all the maps I've made in one place in stead of making multiple threads.

So, here it goes! Here is the list of maps I've made so far:
If you have any feedback, please let me know in the comments below. :)

Reported/known issues:
- Bruinen Refuge: The map is really dark because of some error with the clouds, if anyone would know how to fix this, I'd be very grateful!

I would like to share some screenshots from my newest project: Dale.

I've seen many versions of more famous places, but no one has done a map on Dale as far as I've seen. I have taken some inspiration from the Hobbit movies and some artistic freedom. Going to release it as soon as I've made sure it works as intended. As I need to check if it's balanced or not.

Actually... https://modding-union.com/index.php/topic,32138.30.html (https://modding-union.com/index.php/topic,32138.30.html) :P.

Though I particularly like how you did the river. I will try to take some inspiration from that. Good job!

That's my bad!  :D
I haven't had the time to browse the entire forum yet.

I thought it was pretty neat. Not sure if I should put a river beneath all the ice. As of now, only a portion of the ice laid river actually have a river beneath it.

I'll try to upload the map tomorrow, I'd be glad to get some feedback on good/bad things I've done.  :)

Well, since you asked.  :P
I am not 100% about it being finished or not, but here's the latest version of the map:

I have to say, that I really like this map. it's well balanced and very well made. The City only needs a few props and trees and the map itself is finished imo.

Because of I am such a fan of your work I also have some ideas you may also like or think about: Would it be possible to make Arnor instead of Gondor? And what do you think of editing the unit roster? Maybe you could replace the standard Units with the Dale Units? Maybe you like one of these ides.  xD

Thanks for the compliments and feedback! Yeah, the city could use some polishing, I agree. I actually thought about that, enabling Arnor instead of Gondor, as neither of them really belong to the region I didn't really take a stand.

About the roster I actually made some thoughts. One of the Minas Morgul maps posted on the forum, I don't recall which one, replaced the regular orcs with Minas Morgul orcs. Which would be a cool thing to do on this map, only with Dol Guldur orcs instead. Meaning all Mordor barracks' produce Dol Guldur orcs, not regular orcs.

For the Dale units to work, I think I'll need some help from someone with a little more expertise. Adding an outpost inside the city for you to build Dale units would be too crowded. If I even do it, I suppose it can be done either like Glorfindel23 has done for his Minas Tirith map with custom barracks'. Or adding a pre-built building which you can recruit Men of Dale from. Like placing a vanilla Outpost inside the city where you can recruit Men of Dale.
