andy5995 Posted October 22, 2021 Report Share Posted October 22, 2021 This new random map will probably get into the next release of Community Maps. It's mostly Mainland with some elements of Latium added. The res and trees, etc. are the same as Mainland vanilla. Any suggestions for it? Other opinions? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wowgetoffyourcellphone Posted October 22, 2021 Report Share Posted October 22, 2021 I'd say add a cliff texture along the shoreline, assuming you don't want any naval access. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yekaterina Posted October 22, 2021 Report Share Posted October 22, 2021 Love it! Finally Mainland has some water for navy. 1 suggestion: make the shorelines less steep so that docks can be built there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alre Posted October 23, 2021 Report Share Posted October 23, 2021 the whole point of mainland map is that there is no sea. that's why it's called mainland. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceres Posted October 23, 2021 Report Share Posted October 23, 2021 @andy5995 Very nice thank you! Echoing @alre 's comment, you could have an almost "sibling" map without water or with steep cliffs as @wowgetoffyourcellphone already mentioned (if it's worth the effort). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micfild Posted October 23, 2021 Report Share Posted October 23, 2021 This reminds me of a map called Anatolia, in Age of Mythology. A fine addition to the game. 5 hours ago, alre said: the whole point of mainland map is that there is no sea. that's why it's called mainland. I mean, the water could mean rivers or lakes (still mainland themed). It's just that water is not the main feature of the map and can be ignored. It does allow Athens to build marines though. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good idea! I have no idea how to do that though, or what textures I should use. Can anyone tell me how to do that, or make a pull request? The code is here. 6 hours ago, alre said: the whole point of mainland map is that there is no sea. that's why it's called mainland. Ok, so to work around that fair point, I created a version with higher water (so docks can be built) but gave it a different name. It's called @Yekaterinaville. And both versions are in the community maps 2 repo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's commit it and implement into A26? By the way, there is a city called Yekaterinburg located in Perm province of Russia, and it has similar geography to your map. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, there is a city called Yekaterinburg located in Perm province of Russia, and it has similar geography to your map. I'll probably wait until after it's released into the next version of CM2 and gets more play-testing and feedback, and after my pending patch for team placement on Mainland is merged into a26. Alternatively, if you'd like to submit the map as a patch for a26, I could assist you with that if you need it (I doubt you'd have much difficulty though since you already have programming experience). Right now it can be played by cloning the git repo into your mod directory. Something like `git clone https://github.com/0ad-matters/community_maps_2.git community_maps_2-git` will clone it and give it a directory name that won't conflict if you have the current release of CM2 installed. Would you recommend I rename the map to Yekatarinburg? Edited October 23, 2021 by andy5995 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
