(3vs3) Crater of Doom

Description
I was just messing around in Photoshop when I had an idea of how to create heightmaps easier and got this idea for a map. As a fan of the original DoW1, my maps always tend to recreate some of the playstyle of that game, so you can expect another battle where you can actually hold your base.

Comments and suggestions welcome.

Enjoy!

--- KNOWN ISSUES ---

- AI doesn't seem to be able to pathfind to the resource points on the plateaus and thus lacks resources which seems to slow it down a bit, haven't found a solution for this other than moving the points which is not an option.

Looks great!

Really like this map, very nice detailing and of course the awesome choke points. Love setting my troops up and turning the area into a killing field! Very balanced as well, gives both sides a fair/equal start, unlike some maps.

...and thanks for the positive feedback, too, btw. always appreciated! ;)

Updated again to V 1.3. If you play this PVP, let me know if there's a difference in how the choke points are layed out.
Enzo  [author] 27 Sep, 2019 @ 3:09pm 
Updated, see above.

Will add more detail later, but am happy with gameplay so far...

Thanks for taking the time and making these maps.

(Oh, and a question: what is this green circle near the left team base? :bbtduckshark: )
LeCarmin_404 26 Sep, 2019 @ 11:28am 
By "impact" I wanted to mean... hell yeah, this is the motherfucking Crater of Doom! A place of destruction, where a huge... uh... meteor? Missile? Uh... A huge thing crashed! On the map plan, yes, I can see a mark of burning ground... But... Uh it's like really flat! Well, yes there is the high grounds but... I try to mean maybe a terraforming more depressed, more broken, more burnt. I don't know! What I wish is an impression, in gameplay or/and in design of destruction! (You can add it to if you think it's a good impression, it's your map, not mine)

@LeCarmin - thanks, yeah there are a few height issues, I noticed that as well, will try to improve this. What you meant about the crater you will have to explain in more detail, please. Thanks for the critique ;)

@cyberbot - I'm playing this game, and to make the experience better I made a few maps that suit my preffered playstyle. My time, my maps, you get to play them for free. What's not to like?

The camera is really high, and I can't fill the "impact" of the crater, but it's a good map; it could be great as your two others as if this two facts are corrected; but it's a really nice work
