(I'll update this thread periodically)

 

Crocodilopolis

Spoiler

 

  • 4 players
  • Based on the natural/artificial lake in Egypt called Lake Moeris, which has been populated for thousands of years. The area is also called the Faiyum Oasis. Crocodilopolis is the ancient Greek name for the Egyptian settlement there. 
  • Map features: A large lake in the middle, with schools of tilapia fish. Many plateaus with evidence of ancient Egyptian and Ptolemaic ruins. Lots of choke points. Open desert lanes along the outer rim of the map.

New map, Magadha, is inspired by some gameplay videos I saw on Youtube. I noticed that people play 1v1 matches that tend to be on smaller maps, that kind of just spread resources out over a relatively open map with few choke points. So, this is potentially what an "India" biome map could look like in EA, minus cool stuff like mercenary camps and farmlands of course ;) :

Love the new cliff textures DE offers :)

Thank you! Completely CC0 textures and very high quality. Preliminarily they might make it into the core game for A25. Once they're in, it'll take a long time and some effort to retrofit all existing scenarios, skirmishes, and random map scripts to use the new terrains properly. It'll be a challenge, but one scripting could help (seek and replace automatically).
