lucho Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 (edited) Like the title says, I discovered 0AD last night. This is my first attempt at mapmaking. Took me a few hours to get the hang of Atlas; here's the results of my tinkering. Let me know what y'all think *Edit*Oops, I forgot to explain it a bit. The idea: A three way battle. As happened so often in history, the Romans and Persians are having it out, and the Greeks are caught in the middle. Well, actually, the Greeks stand a chance to come out on top. While the land may look sparse, there's actually more than enough resources for epic fights. Edited October 6, 2013 by lucho 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo38 Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 Hi ! First of all, welcome to the forum and thanks for your interest in 0 A.D. That map looks very nice. My main remark would be about the general texture : for now we see grass everywhere, but considering the palms and the realistic variations of any landscape, the map lacks some non-grass areas, like sand, gravel or rock surfaces.Out of that, I must admit that for a new-comer on Atlas, you really did great at setting an interesting map... Congratulations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanderd17 Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 I agree with Ludo, interesting map. It does look like some Cycladic Archipelago maps. IMO, the greeks have too much ground compared to the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leper Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 Looks interesting! I'd make the connecting part from the Roman and the Persian parts to the center a bit wider as that looks like it will lead to units getting stuck there too easily. Also are you going to attach the map? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucho Posted October 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 I did put some non-grass areas, but looking at it now (and especially in the preview) I see that it's nowhere near enough. I forgot to include the mapfiles- I'm including them now. I used the tropical biome set, which alters the dirt under the grass- it's really only visible closeup. I'm still tweaking the map though. Live and learn...The Greeks do get a lot of territory, but after three playtests, they need it. I was amazed at how fast the Persians produced an army. That little piece of land separating them and the Romans isn't narrow enough firstbattle.pmp.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
