(Being) created by Silk and Flasche The map is close to being playable enough for an alpha release. This release, which i think should be in about 2 weeks, will not offer much more than can be seen in the screenshots below. It'll only serve as a test for missing files, performance and the first early gameplay impressions. We'll not be interested in any criticism concerning gameplay and visuals untill at least the release of the beta version, whenever that'll be, which will bring bigger changes and should be the first rc. We'll always be interested in hearing about bugs or broken stuff though. Screenshots: Features: - Max map size (as always ) - Many new textures - Many attack routes - Easily defendable areas (but a lot of them to spread across) - Good old commander based gameplay Stay tuned !
God tier mapping as always Silk (and flasche), and to think its only at a (pre?) alpha stage! I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes.
the textures look really nice, with a bit of work this could easily be the best looking map in empires but oh god why the bloom
looks great as always.. 1 request silk. Can you fix bush to work with the current version of empires? Vicki said it crashes the server. It was one of my favorite maps of all time. The random ref thing didn't really matter to me but the lay out and looks were fantastic.
When I see stuff like this I close down hammer and feel stupid for pretending I can compete. Looks fucking sick.
Those concrete walls remind me of HL2 (Route Kanal). I have to agree with harry's aircraft comment. The map just seems to fit them.
No shitty prefab aircraft. Also, yeah, besides the amount of bland concrete it looks awesome. Maybe some bunkers set into the terrain near the middle though? Like Bush in the south.
Very nice trees. Please add more of them so that we can have a real forest. Maybe somewhere in the middle of the map with a small path for vehicles. Could look like this:
I deleted all map files when i left empires. While i did find some files spread amongst backups on external discs here and there, bush wasn't amongst them (nor was arid). I know for a fact that i gave some maps to community members when they asked for it, but i don't know which maps i gave away, nor do i remember to whom i gave them. If anyone has ALL the files (map source and materials) of the latest versions of either bush or arid, i'd like it if you could put them online and PM me the link. Only PM's though, as it doesn't belong in this topic from now on. Better yet, whoever has bush, don't bother me at all and fix it yourself
Lol deadpool you fail arid is standard, I'd totally make bush too if we ever had refs marked on minimap rather than painted on the actual minimap.
