Empires Custom Map Pack: Release (17 maps)

PRODUCE SOMETHING WORTHY THEN.

Also, don't include slaughtered until the permissions are sorted out.

 

I plan to collect this together at the end of the week.

 

I get the feeling Midbridge will be out soon.

 

I suppose I will get a new version of Shadows out for this.

 

Don't forget to include an icon for your map for the new server browser

 

emp_tropicvendetta for map list

 

Updated with link, Tested & working, make sure the installation path is correct for your computer.

 

Whatever happened to emp_plunge? I liked that map.......

 

Didn't get recompiled for 2.2 yet, I'll add it to an incremental patch if Bumgravy ever does.

EDIT: Added .zip upload for security nuts.

 

Bumgravy said he doesnt care or something like that you have
to bug him harder to make him recompile the map.

 

2.2 Killed Bumgravy's soul. Every time he plays empires now he tries to commit suicide or something. Maybe 2.23 will make him get back into it.

 

In other words: His crappy computer can't handle 2.22?

 

I would be extremly glad if Empires 4 all and Nachos would only run these maps. :D

 

My name has no N in it

 

I'll edit it here, but its a bit late to edit it in the installer, my bad

 

That was fast.

 

Orange Box is very picky about leaks and errors, and this map is chock full of them.

Drummer was willing to work on it as far as I remember.

 

I just saw this and had to say it's fairly uninformed.

The beta number is arbitrary to say the least. Beta 2 for one map author could be the same as Beta 8 for another. Similarly, with amateur devs an RC version may be of similar quality and polish as a Beta build. Basically, 'Beta 2' is not a universal indicator of quality.

 

While incomparable between different maps, the version number is far from arbitrary. His choice of the number 2 for a minimum is far from arbitrary as well. First releases of maps have usually not had a chance for real testing, so version 2 at the very least have had a chance to fix major issues with the map. There is no difference between RC, a, or b. It is a mapper's choice of naming scheme. I don't the naming scheme matters, as long as it is the second release or later.

 

It's sitting still at revision five unless someone tells me what else to add, I'm reasonably happy with revision five, there's little I can do to improve it. I can and probably will change things, but that'll just be a change, not an improvement.

So you can probably call it final if you want.
