Bloodied Colosseum

Description
This is a recreation of the Bloodied Colosseum map that hosts The Last Stand gamemode in the DoW 2 games. It does not actually play like The Last Stand, and rather is set up to fit the game modes currently in the game with bases located in the upper areas. Unfortunately I made the map too big and didn't realise this before I'd gotten too carried away, so my bad. This is my first map so don't be too harsh!

That said I am looking for feedback on how I can improve this map and any future maps I make. I am most interested to know what people think about the inclusion of cover on the arena (in the same locations as the garrisonable buildings were in the original) and the small amount of stealth cover. Thank you and enjoy!

I've also set this one up with OneProduct's Victory Point gamemode, which is still young so feedback would be useful in helping him to refine it. You will need the Victory Point mod, which can be found here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1170211683

Testing with my new map, I've gotten it to support Victory Point and the other game modes in the same version of the map! Future maps I make will have all official game modes and Victory Point bundled into them (if the design of the map supports the modes well enough), rather than having two versions. This will allow me to make more drastic alterations after publishing. I'm also going to add Victory Point for the original versions of Fallen City and Bloodied Colosseum, any changes I make after that will only be applied to these original versions so if you only have Victory Point versions be sure to get the others incase I chose to make any changes!

wow this map is so fun

That's good. A good tool I wish I knew how to use earlier is the stamps. It's basically your copy and paste tool. Once you've made a few maps you can have all your favorite structures and features saved as quick pastes.

Thanks, but as for the Crators I've already done some experimentation with my next map that I'm working on xD Still, kind of your to offer the advice! Fun fact (as you may know, Vegarot) the rotation for splats works according to Pi.

(Don't take that as "I'm releasing a new map soon" I work on them gradually over time, and I'm really slow at it. Guess I might get better at it the more I do it, though. I was gonna work on my own original idea but there was a DoW1 map I REALLY wanted to remake so you'll have to make do with that instead!)

Layering similar tiles by altering the strength and opacity allows you to alter the tone of certain parts. It doesn't really like any more than 11-12 tile textures it causes draw errors

Different combinations of grass selected produces a different look ftom the same grass type. Removing one that was a component to an area already laid will remove all grass that used it.

Use splats for craters. Pick the one that suits the terrain then adjust the size then splat it down. Then grab your terrain editor adjust brush size to match craters on subtractive with a 30-50 feather and a strength of 10 then just tap mouse for desired depth. To smooth out the bottom if desired click a smoothing after.
Splats unlike decals will mould to the terrain shape.
Decals stay flat but can have their heights and sizes altered to decorate objects.

just to clairify when i said grass i meant short grass like in cracks and stuff, not sneaky grass

also perhaps some things on the outher edges where no one can go? like statues or a big ravine
