I know mappers have more control over this but it still requires some scripting, it also requires some other stuff depending on what is to be done. But still a little diversity is lovely in games. CTF matches can get very interesting but in empires how awsome/crappy can it get? We can already do King of the HIll, Manslaghter(trench warfare), and Tank Wars. How about getting rid of the ticket counter and adding a timmer also get rid of one of the CVs and say blow one of these units (http://forums.empiresmod.com/showthread.php?t=4527&highlight=super+units) in X minutes while this unit has to blow up the CV/survive. Or we could pettition steam for a lil better map editer that isnt so advanced, that way we can get some more maps out. Well I find that the hammer is currently the most advanced map making system to use, also the tutorials need some inprovement for crappy mappers like me can barely make the room.
I just find it easy to work with the land first then working on borders for maps. You may find it easy but as i said i find that its more complex than what im used to. The whole pettition thing was more of a joke all thats needed is lil bit better tutorials for the stupid like me lol
