Empires and high ground is just awful to fight against. I do kinda see where this would actually work though, where both sides can not just safely get to their outlook but they can shoot each other from the out looks.Kinda like in this picture? Admittedly you would have to move the ref point, maybe next ot bottom center cliff? I suppose that works, but I'm still of the idea that emp_flat doesn't have much in elevation advantages. At the very least I don't want tunnel fights, they just turn into meat grinders and prevent much from happening in regards to buildings and what not.
I wouldn't mind starting with more res (something like 400-600 res) plus the starting RT already built.
I've just looked in the dev assets repository, and sadly i can't seem to find anything for emp_flat. @Silk Do you perhaps have it on an old hard disk somewhere?
