Volcanic Violence 8p
PostPosted: 09 Dec 2013, 22:11
Hello, this week I finished a brand new map suitable for 8 players. As could be expected not just another ''green'' map and it's the largest map I've ever created (65.536 tiles of new gameplay fun). Eventhough it was alot of work building this large map (details alone took me over 2 weeks for example) I'm happy it finaly has the outcome I planned this map to have. Here is an overview:
About the map/gameplay:
* no water on the map so no fish, makes it harder to avoid starvation if you don't have enough farms.
* more than enough buildingspace without making distances to resources too far.
* plenty of resources available but not too close to each other (gold not near iron for example).
* impossible to wall of your location with towers easy.
* starting food/trees are pretty low to prevent buildorder rushes.
* minimum chokepoints on the map so flanking with horses can be a very succesfull strategy.
* every location starts with a different bonus, a small amount of extra resources in the storehouse.
* can be played top vs bottom or left vs right in 2 different ways.
All in all it should be a difficult map to play on and as always scouting/teamplay is important, let me know what you think of it.

I think there's some spelling mistakes though:
