    A quick little prototype map. I made this because I haven't seen any terribly asymmetric commander maps.

    Edit: Full .zip download
    Download res file here (that's a thing, right?)

    If this playtests well, then I might make it more detailed and map-like.

    Its hard to tell what am I looking at when I glance at the mini map.

    I'm not sure this map would work. Space looks very limited.

    From my own experience, open and able to place buildings trumps well used asymetry most days. Maybe use a similar layout for the routes, but instead of 90 degree walls, make them into hills or other types of short terrain styled obstacles, like dust storm.

    You should ask Vicki to put it on the map test server.

    Are vehicles meant to be used or is it more just infantry with building and target support?

    I'm curious about much such a map would play out. If it works, talk to Vicki and get that shit on viper.

    you need <empires_folder>/resources/maps/emp_nadir.txt (the file that describes minimap and objective text) not the resfile - its only needed to tell what to download from a server

    packing up a zip file with all required stuff in the right folders takes a minute if you dont have a shitload of custom content on your map - and youll have a higher chance people download and test the map

    I zipped everything into the bsp using pakrat, but on testing only the bsp file, the minimap didn't work, so I'll put a download with everything while I try to sort that out.

    I might do that.

    Edit: Shit, you're right. Space is limited. I never noticed before, but it doesn't look like you can fit a VF at main. It looks like you can, but you can't. I think I'll go and re-size the map.

    Edit: There, made it 1.5 times bigger. Archive has been update to reflect this.

    you should specify the version so people dont have different versions of the same map. (emp_nadir_b1, emp_nadir_b2, emp_nadir_b3)

    and also changes to the minimap don't work right for some reason if you don't change the names of the maps, so version names are really crucial.

    Because you already downloaded it, and have a minimap file named that exact way in your files. You have to delete the file manually and then re-download it.
