Wasd should be preserved for camera movement. That plays the way better than other RTS games that don't use those keys.

You never read Asterix and Obelix, auron?

I couldn't find the smoothing glitch:

A brutal fortress in a beautifully made map, Mediterranean Cove:

In fact, the glitch was still there when I took the screenshot (so flat shading didn't fix the issue for me at least, can someone confirm?) but I made sure it wasn't visible.

Here is a screenshot where the glitch is not visible:

Isn't it the same issue as we had with the Chinese roofs?

But how would you defend the water staying at the field and not flowing away (without some sort of fence, whether that would be stone or earth)?

Just my two cents, but how about this? Split the stone wall into parts and drop prop these individual parts. Instead of a water plane use a water-alike texture that fits to the ground (like the other farms). Finally attach the rice plants and drop prop these too. Here is a poorly created sample using Atlas on what it could look like (I've modified the Terrain Ambient color a little to let the texture look more blueish): I think I do not fully understand LordGood's approach (maybe someone else does?)

For the ones that didn't notice: we have a submission topic where you can submit your maps (only final ones) here: http://www.wildfiregames.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=19019

Philip / Ykkrosh is the one that implemented it. He probably knows.

I reworded it and it got through:

what if you change compornents into components?

It seems that Mythos_Ruler did a complete rebalance. Would it be worth trying? http://trac.wildfiregames.com/changeset/15644

It is a feature that is worth investigating as it delivers interesting gameplay but it think it is to complicated for mainstream players.

In alpha 16 it is just a matter (in windows) of placing the map in a sub folder of My Documents.

Finally, you got a new one!

I've darkened the place where I think I see stretching:

Still it looks very cool (Do I see BTW some stretching in the wall texture?)

The deadline is closing in. 10 days left, folks.

I think I can't see anything

This post might come in handy when enhancing your visuals. (It applies to most beginning designers) http://www.wildfiregames.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=18801&p=293531

I've got it on my laptop above the "+" key.

Do you have a screenshot?

Also they don't have this civilizations right now but in the future...
