On NA where is this?

Just played it so nvm.

I'm not overly happy with it, I'll have to make a v2.0 and move the spawns closer together.

The epicly huge feeling should still be there but with less playable area and more obvious flanks.  I'll free up some kilobytes for more detail by deleting boulders up by the glaciers.

Just played this map, looks really good

But sad that everyone is only fighting in the ruins^^  There are lots of other beautiful parts to spill blood on

^ played it late last night. Have to say, really enjoyed it. It got a number of compliments from other people too. The only issue (very minor) is people tend to just rush the ruins without trying to flank.

Yea, the infantry keeps fighting at the ruins due to it has the only cover against cavalry.
Really great looking surrounding area! 

Tip for map making. Use the terrain generator from native, to make the terrain look more what you expect in the end. So you will save a lot of time and file size. And bit more roughness and small hills gives nice atmosphere on the maps.

Update released: http://www.mbrepository.com/file.php?id=3476

Too many changes to list them all...changed spawn location, drastic terrain modification, more ruins, more z-axis, more gameplay relevant stuff all over, less rocks in the background.

Will play much better, maybe as fun as Tropical

My thanks to whomever merged the threads!  I've modified the original post as needed.

Has anyone played Glacier v2 yet?  I appreciate all feedback, especially negative.  Helps me make better maps in the future.

bump for awesome maps

If I can make sure everything will work, the next map will feature winch-driven trap doors to deep spike-filled pits.

This will require some extensive testing - in Native it won't work as a cavalry player can survive the fall, sacrificing their horse.  cRPG has different fall damages, so there is still hope.

It's really random!  I took a trip to the cRPG Siege servers (as all siege maps seem to have 1000m high drops) and about half of the time I jump my steed to its death I live.

Too random to use as a mechanic I suppose.  We need a player_damage_box prop, heh.


Oh well, fuck it, plan B.  I'll make custom props instead and go for a less gimmicky map.
