Emp_Mesa Beta4

Changes:
Raised some walls at the bridges so tanks dont get stuck so often
Made a better entrance for the tunnels in the big south bridge
The centre refinery is now on top of the tower
Places 2 more rocks
Replaced the west building with another random but not so stupid one
Removed the secret tunnel in the south east

That made me smile

Anyway, next time i have time and see that this map is being played, i'll join.
Is it on the B3? (Big 3: g4tc, viper, nachos)

 

Uhm its on nachos and its on g4tc as soon as trickster moves his lazy ass.

 

needs more purple

 

mayama get crackin on your next masterpiece

 

Found one bug:
Refinery at BE startup can't be rebuild.

And it is possible to make the top of the new tower a little bit larger.
I wasted some time to place a refinery on the top because I had to tell two players to leave the platform. Also a friendly ammo box was blocking. For NF this is easier because they have smaller refineries.

And a least the ladders in the new tower are hard to use. Don't know if this could be easier in some way.

But else the new tower looks really great.

 

UP on Nachos

 

Cant make the ladders more easy to use

Im looking after the "BE ref placement problem"

 

Looks like the starting BE ref problem is just the usual "comm cant drop ref for no reason bug"

 

Ok im thinking of making a new version of mesa, any suggestions?

 

Make it green. I like green.

 

make the map make more sense

like now its just a bunch of islands randomly connected with bridges

make like a roadmap over it, make the bridges make sense and let some islands not have a resource node but be connection crosspoints etc etc

 

Both starting bases has only two entrances.
When the enemy owns most of the map and your teams is turteling at starting base without tanks then you have no chance to sneak out of the base. On tank on every side can stop every escaping infantry easily.

I would suggest a small infantry only path like in the south east.
You should fall down from your base to this path so enemies can't use them to sneak into your base.

 

I actually agree with SIP.

 

Thats actually a good idea

 

My god...Mayama....HE LISTENS TO US D:

But emphasis on:

You should fall down from your base to this path so enemies can't use them to sneak into your base.

 

well, i like the idea as well but more like fall down to the ground from the outside, or make it in some fashion so that the enemy can't get on the slope

 

thats what he ment drummer, i think though

 

Nah they are thinking of having to drop down to it behind the base, i was looking towards that and the ability to drop down to the ground at the ends of it, so enemy can't get on it at all

 

Mega necro

Omneh that map must look awesome now since you had like one year to redo the hills.
