Yeah! That's a good start Don't worry to be late, mapping takes time (it remembers me I should work on mine).

Probably best to stick with the Temperate biome terrains, but that's just my preference.

Yeah, I didn't care of the introduction: north side of Mont Ventoux is temperate and south side is mediterranean. Now I have to sort which is temperate or mediterranean :/

But I found a interressant sentence : "Le chêne vert est l'espèce emblématique du midi méditerranéen Français puisqu'il constitue, avec le pin d'Alep et les genévriers, l'espèce dominante de la garrigue"

I can translate with my poor english : The holm oak is the emblematic species of mediterranean southern France because it forms, with Aleppo Pine and Juniper, the main species of garrigue.

I found a list of flora near Verdon river(Mont Ventoux). There is Aleppo Pine, Scots Pine, Maritime Pine (there is a lot of them on the coast), "Pins à crochets" (in mountains), Pubescent Oak, Sessile Oak, Kermes Oak, St Lucie cherry, Holm Oak, Acer monspessulanum, Beech, Common Whitebeam, Common Ash.

A Common Whitebeam.

A Holm Oak.

Maritime Pine. It prefers sand and acid soils.

There is some pictures here or here. Actually, my graphic card is out of order, but I hope to contribute soon.

Nice work, I love winter maps. Now all we need is snow falling and blowing in the wind to complete the effect

And water falls !

[Yodaspirine's Map]

Hi! After a month without internet connexion at home, I finished a new snow map which looks like to some AOE maps : pass through ennemy lines to join safe area. It will appear in the demo maps menu. Unfortunately, with the health drain, some buildings will be destroyed, if a tool appears in Atlas which block health, I'll update the map

Escape.zip

[Community project]

Thanks I updated the .zip. Who takes over?

[Community project]

Finish!

Migration-Mythos-SMST-NOXAS1-Yodaspirine.zip

I add some fortress for this screenshot

And I try an alternative texture for the bog (I found the mud strange) on this screenshot:

I replace mud by wet grass, sea rocks by mud and wet grass by mud plants. What is your opinion?

[Community project]

Oh and I only have one suggestion with that screenshot so far, if you look under some rocks and stuff you can see the color of the map underneath the trees or the ruins.

That was caused by the alpha snapshot, I used the tool Replace on the white texture by temp_grass I have now update my version, I'll just need to paint and modify terrain(and add animals).

[Community project]

Yesterday I progress well, but I fear(I have the Alpha 6) Atlas delete textures, and I should probably restart .

[Community project]

Ok it works

[Community project]

I can take white?

First an update:

*Super units switch to champion units

*Sparta:

** Without walls

** Houses moved

** Traders switch to entities

*Granikos:

**Persian cavalry + Macedonian army placement

*Athens :

** Gaia units switch to Player 2 units

** Houses moved

** Add Propylaia

And a new map: Salamis !

Although heavily outnumbered, the Greek Allies were persuaded by the Athenian general Themistocles to bring the Persian fleet to battle again, in the hope that a victory would prevent naval operations against the Peloponessus. The Persian king Xerxes was also anxious for a decisive battle. As a result of subterfuge on the part of Themistocles, the Persian navy sailed into the Straits of Salamis and tried to block both entrances. In the cramped conditions of the Straits the great Persian numbers were an active hindrance, as ships struggled to maneuver and became disorganised. Seizing the opportunity, the Greek fleet formed in line and scored a decisive victory, sinking or capturing at least 300 Persian ships.

As a result Xerxes retreated to Asia with much of his army, leaving Mardonius to complete the conquest of Greece. However, the following year, the remainder of the Persian army was decisively beaten at the Battle of Plataea and the Persian navy at the Battle of Mycale.

From Wikipedia

Goals:

*Defeat Persian Navy

*Reconquer Athens and Piraeus

Bonus:

*Find all the Metal Barrels, Pegasus and the Golden Fleece in Athens and Piraeus

Psyttaleia placement is an error. Parthenon presence is a volunteer anachronism: it were built 3 years after the Battle of Salamis.

Your comments or suggestions are welcome!

I had a similar problem when I would save my maps: that comes from I made .zip in 0ad maps folder. I move my .zip in another folder and there was no problem.

[Yodaspirine's Map]

Those maps are amazing,

I have a "Backup" of your maps over at http://0ad.me/Forum-Maps.

Thanks! That's a good thing to spread maps, that's the aim of cc-by-sa

EDIT: I upgrade my maps alesia for alpha 6.

[Yodaspirine's Map]

Hi, I come back after 4 months(I have my exams soon) with a new map, the Siege of Alesia. I made two versions, a huge version (the first I did) and a version light, without gates and less soldiers.

As you can see, your workers will work in the night (they don't have torches)...

@asmartgoat: I work on my maps only when I have time to waste, that's why I don't join a project for the moment.

I love the Sparta Siege screenshot. Can I share them on our website & Facebook page? Could you take more screenshots of that map and some bigger ones? And could you please release them under cc-by or cc-by-sa? Thanks.

Of course, I release my maps under cc-by-sa, and you can share them. I took another screens of Sparta

Cool shots man! Don't forget the Propylaea and Stoa buildings.

I remade Athens map for the Alpha 2, unfortunately the Propylaea didn't insert between Acropolis and houses . I project to remake Athens adding a piece of Salamis.

[mon avis]

It is a teenager who use a lot of expressions, GT could not succeed. Anyway, I do not think he is able to translate his message with the catastrophic english level in France(I can attest).

@tigreblancroyal: la proposition 1 ne serait pas possible, il faudrait reconcevoir le jeu et certains mettraient en doute son utilité. Pour le reste, je pense que ça compliquerait beaucoup trop la gestion (les joueurs se perdraient dans les options), de plus les esclaves risqueraient plutôt de gêner, je me vois mal renoncer à construire une grande armée tout ça parce que les esclaves forment la majorité de ma population. Euh... aussi comme White tree paladin le fait remarquer, le forum est anglais et si tu tiens quand même à intervenir, je te conseille de faire des phrases simples pour qu'elles soient mieux traduites dans Google translate. Cordialement, Yodaspirine.

Old maps are not up to date and you need before to replace in the .xml some words like "mill->storehouse", "scout_tower->defense_tower", "civic_centre->civil_centre", "wall->medium_wall", etc.
