Running would defiantly give the game a twist. I seem to remember Rome total war having an ambush feature, I don't know if this is possible with the way the game has been made but just a thought whilst playing after reading post.

Hi all, so ive just done a quick re-texture on the starting areas on the first map on this thread. As far as I know these 2 files are all you need to download right? So here it is Bog Pit v1. Bog Pit.pmpBog Pit.xml Feel free to download and play or download and mess about with on scenario editor if you wish. If you have any feedback or make any alterations please let me known and put the file on this thread so I can enjoy your remake.

Currently in the process of turning a hight map from the Richat structure into the lost city of Atlantis. I think I have rushed putting units in there as I was abit bored today and decided to assemble the royal guard. it spoils the pics abit but I'm not the best at getting great looking screen shots. In the completed area I have huge temples, a few military guard points and the royal quarters witch is behind the walls along the right hand side of the picture.

Thank you Sundiata. I've been waiting to upload these for a while wanted to get everyones opinion it will be when its complete unless anyone is any good with texturing then I can finish up asap and upload. Quick question for anyone interested currently the elevation points are the orange markers on the map the lines being smooth and a terrain wall with the thicker bits. Ive found that is not very inspiring for me to want to build a great city. The way I currently have it I feel is the best because all players have roughly the same base and one of the main ideas of the map was for it to be fair. But what if I was to have the starting locations like the blue or red in these pictures? the red is smooth and the blues have walls of terrain. There isn't any levels that I can think of off the top of my head that has you starting in an area that's prime for defending, but I feel this may hinder the gameplay. I just wanted to have some inspiration for forming the grand empire but it feels very much death-match style.

Anyone got any idea why when I try to upload a screen shot to the forum a box with -200 comes up?, when I have selected the file to upload the file size at the bottom on the browser is always slightly smaller than the actually file size?. Map update. I have tested and it makes for a fun game I lowered the amount of trees from initial photos in spawn areas as it was bit of an over kill but as they all had the same amount it was fair I guess. I started re texturing the areas around swamp and to be honest its a ball ache but ill get around to it. ill have to check out how to upload the map and if anyone is interested or even enjoys texturing they are more than welcome to finish it, as some will be able to do a much better job. Ive also just embarked on the what seems like a never ending task of making the lost city of Atlantis. Recently I stumbled on some videos theorising that the Richat Structure could be a possible location and it sparked my interest. Not knowing anything about Atlantis or the rich I looked around bit and listened to a lot whilst building atlas so I know only few things about the accounts plato gave about the city. But is there anything you know about the city that would be cool to add in?

I also am not happy with the grass, I did use right click but went bait to crazy with it. Im half happy with the swamp but just put down a rough grass land for the rest of the map. Sadly no its not my first map but it is my first attempt at a balanced playable map, rather than a big city. Cheers ill check it out

Hello all. last week I was away and I was aiming to make the most of the break and use atlas, but it wasn't working. I took the time to think of an idea and hay presto the day I get back home is the day I work out how I can use atlas again. Yesterday I got to work and started to create. So here it is V1 of bog (working title) A resource rich map, with a swamp in the middle and a high ground ridge between the swamp and the up hill defensive start point witch is split Into 4 areas sheltered by mountains on each side and a pass through the mountains from the flanks. I'm happy with most of the texture paint around the swamp but not complete in base areas, I just got impatient and wanted to play. But could really do with some tips on texturing if anyone has any! I would love to know what you think of my map so far, and any tips or advice you have on it or map making using atlas. Is there a atlas hotkey manual I've just realised you can use shift and it will copy the texture you have already layed down.

I was just wondering if it had anything to do with A.I. I sure will enjoy now I can use atlas again! keep up the good work can't wait for the next update!

Just to round this up. I've managed to fix it. not sure exactly how basically I made the premissions the same for all sub folders and then bam its fixed!. Gutted it was the day I got back from a week break rather than the day before, but never late than never! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, is there a reason the maps are never extremely rich with resources? Thinking to make a huge map with a heap of resources and some well dug in fortified AI.

In short...Yes XD I was on the s***er and i saw my question falling off the recently active list thingy. Trying to find out asap as i downloaded it again recently and am enjoying again but dont want to get bored playing skirmishes again. That was funny stuff though when i saw your comment ide just left my nans, I was thinking how the heck?! But then again the butlers must know all the secrets of the house?

Because its a nice colour? No i like to dj and my last laptop was not cutting it. Never having a mac before i wanted to play around with one. Probably should of just got a darn gaming laptop for the amount of time i use it for gaming as opposed to creating.. i guess that's why i want to use atlas so darn bad

H ere is the screen shot

erm.. Applications i think?? im not very technically minded and after switching to a mac about a year ago im even worse than i was on a pc. But im sure when i install it brings up an application folder to drag and drop the file into, is it worth me making a new folder to drop it into once i download again? Thanks for your help

darn well it looks like imma have to wait for AOE4
