    Sexy map, but tree spam spanks my FPS down from 60-70 to 16-23, ouchy. Although, all trees in Empires does that to my computer for some reason.

    Yes it does, it means there's 1 brush instead of several, the fewer brushes the better.

    yes make water only there where you can see it, it draws the water
    everywhere under your displacements and only eats fps there.

    But then you're drawing twice as much water as needed, wasting GPU time.

    Mayama is right: due to the nature of displacements, water that is "underground" will still be rendered. There shouldn't be any performance hit from having multiple water brushes, but there may be from rendering superfluous surfaces (especially if you're using expensive water).

    But water uses a highly complex renderingmethod with 3 simultaneous renders.

    Water renders only on top of your brush, means if you cut your water brushes
    you dont end with more sides with water texture.

    B6 is up on Napalms server, and more playable than ever.

    B7 will be out in a few days, with a 3d skybox and jungle ambient sound, as well as miscellaneous bugfixes.

    Yea, that is why I didn't link to B6. NO IDEA what that hole is, but the water is easily fixable.

    (The hole doesn't show up when I play the map, and the water displays fine)

    Right, I've uploaded the latest version, with the water and OMG HOLE IN THE MAP fixed. Also added some swamp ambience from the community map project. (I edited it so it loop)

    Heres the link: http://rapidshare.com/files/150845319/emp_insurrection_rc1.zip.html

    Probably still crashes with the CutLinkedListOverflow! error, but I'm not too sure what causes that, and either way, it happens rarely.
