[Map request] CORN FIELD COMBAT

[Dexxtaa]

I read this thread about wheat fields.

http://forum.c-rpg.net/index.php/topic,23943.0.html

And I thought to myself : how awesome would it be if we had a map where fighters literally fought inside a corn field?

With some dirt paths criss-crossing the map, and a small central fighting circle in the middle of the map (CROP CIRCLE ALIEN REFERENCE!?)

I realize archers wouldn't be particularly useful here, so maybe small scaffolding structures (like the ones in Arena) so they can get a little peep over the crowd. It still makes shooting rough, but then again, the corn fields already make melee pretty much IN YO FACE.

Not sure how to deal with heavy cav yet. Perhaps random small rocks (with meshes) so the horses slow down on them (decreases APC horses blasting through with a shield up)

Thoughts?

This would be really cool. Absolutely terrifying having such limited visibility. The scaffolding idea would work well to make it harder for people to simply hide completely, and could even allow for some people to act as scouts for the rest of the team. Fences could be used to very easily limit the power of cav as well.

[Mustikki]

The map should be smallest possible.

seem difficult to do, will need to check what I can do for you

[Moncho]

The corn should take most of the map, not just a small central circle, otherwise people would just stay out of it defeating the purpose of the map.
Or maybe melee would go to the corn and the rest stay out

I'll have a go this weekend when I have a little more free time. I already have a few ideas in mind!

Necro bump for buttocks

dumb idea, unless you could chop the corn down minecraft style.

the conan the barbarian battle map already accomplishes what you're aiming
