Requesting map design!

at the moment im going back to my idea of trains... im currently experementing with making them in hammer...

 

Make sure to leave artillery out, or it will just become an e-penis measurement contest with alot of spam and little display of skill.

 

You can't just exclude them from the game, you'd need to exclude all vehicles.

 

Well you could add a roof over any area you dont want art to fire from or onto...would make art usless.:D

 

Some kind of mini rail-network would be an awesome thing to see. Just a simple looping track that infantry could control a carriage on.

 

Though I can think of a few nasty trick to do with the train if it acts like a scripted vehicle...

 

i always hated seige maps, the gameplay was only average, and they were ugly as sin >

 

You can choose what research they'd have. You could leave the command vehicle and only give a few barracks and vehicle factories for a vehicle-combat only map. Just don't research artillery and take away the option for doing so?

 

ok .... this thread is way out of my hands...

 

empires needs to implement trains. be able to build a track from an Engy, just like walls, and you can have a train mounted on it, with all the bells and whistles and doohickeys that you could want. you could also connect them to edge of map to bring in supplies, or vehicles, or w/e. imagine. a flatbed triancar bringing in a huge mass of blimbs. it would be GLOIROUS!!!!!

 

I'd nickname it: Lag.

 

in all honesty i dont think that trains actualy caouse that much lag i have been experimenting with them in hammer and once you get used to the system its quite easy to use. For a great tut on trains be sure to take a look at this site.

scroll about half way donw the page to find them (about 5 of em!)

Also be aware that that website is due to be shut down perminatly so i suggest that if you realy find those tuts helpful you save then you your hard drive.

 

creating train tracks? i can just picture 2 - 3 engys crouched on the front, laying the track as it goes....


anyone remember this?

 

i love wallice and grommit!!!!


though the americans might not know... (wouldnt dare be american...)
