http://rapidshare.com/files/101838353/CW_Map_Pack__1.rar I'm only an amateur mapper, so none of these maps are perfect. That said i believe they're good enough to be enjoyed by some people. The pack includes 3 maps: emp_arid (rc2) emp_frost (rc2) emp_vehicletraining (rc5) In the map arid the map is divided in two by a canyon. On both sides of the map the canyon can be crossed, and in the middle of the canyon (and the map) there's an infantry bridge, with a vehicle bridge underneath it. Two buttons on top of the infantry bridge control two doors from the vehicle bridge. The one who holds the middle has therefor x2 resources extra from capturing the central flag, and controls a third path to the enemy side. Frost is one big ice map, and only people who like bottlenecks will enjoy it since it's just one huge S-shape. The fun with this map is the ice, especially the ice bridge in the middle of the map that causes lots of unexperienced drivers to slide into the water. Yes, i'm sure some will probably not think it's fun, but experience tells me at least a few people are getting a good laugh of it. This map is plagued by weird lighting effects, but i've given up on fixing those. If someone wants the source file to give it a try, just pm me ! Vehicletraining is ... well a map to train your vehicle skills. It has lots of resources (though not unlimited) and everything is researched from start. I would advise against putting the map in the mapcycle, unless you are hosting a noob/training server. It CAN be ended by capturing all flags, but it's not typical empires gameplay and should be looked at as what it is, a map to learn to costumize and fight with vehicles. Important: There's a possibility this map causes the server to hang for about a second, after which none of the players can move. If so they have to disconnect and reconnect. This happens on the one server that has the map in map rotation, and neither me or the server owner are sure if it's the map, empires or the server itself. Use at own risk! Since no one wants screenshots, i'm gonna post them to annoy you all. Arid: Frost:
Likely omitted because every time I played it NO ONE LIKED IT. No offense to the mapper of it, its a good general concept, it was just pulled off badly.
A) These maps are made by Silk. B) Gorge is made by JCW87. C) In my opinion the gorge is awesome map.
Gorge is made by Aurifactionalist. And can you upload these maps to another hoster pleaseeeee, I've been waiting to play these maps but rapidshare kinda sucks for outside U.S people.
Do you know a good hoster then? You could also join a server that plays it, and download it from there. I think both the z4g server and training server have all 3 maps.
yeah, with the last minimap i made i forgot to put yellow squares over the res spots. In the map just look for red smoke. There's 2 in each base (one of them giving double res), one in the hills on each side, one at both ends of the canyon, and the middle flag gives double resources as well.
Oops, missed this one. I don't think there will ever be a final version. I got sick of the map trying to fix some problems, and i only released it because of the time i've put in it. I'd gladly give the source file to anyone who likes to improve it.
I'm uploading the 3 maps separately. They should be up in about 20 minutes (then you can change your download link if you want)
