Is this part of GCCM?

this is very cool, love Norsca and love this. i hope they give Norsca some walls in III

Beautiful map, however the partial walls make it extremely simply to cheese Norscan AI. I walked two units to the point while bombarding their units on the partial walls, and with no towers it is extremely dull. Either full walls, or no walls and no point please.

This works in GCCM, which is where I saw it. Uou deserve much thanks and praise for this amazing map!

need to be updated

Update please!

What exactly do chokepoints（that make AI silly or problematic） mean？ Can you give me some examples?

Really? I didn't pay much attention to it before. Is the CA's original official game map also had AI problems?

It has. It can't really understand them too much except for siege, where you have siege Ai wich is different from field AI

Why didn't AI have problems with chokepoints in the original map of the game?

Thank you for your instructions, but I still have one question. Why didn't AI have problems with chokepoints in the original map of the game?But if I edit a map with a map editor, why AI have problems with chokepoints?

If you want infos on how to build maps, I would recommend visiting the GCCM discord (link is in he main GCCM mod)

Can this map editor set up an arrow tower or a turret? Can you set up a battle map for some areas or cities in campaign mode?

nope, then it's pretty much fine. Ai just have problem with chokepoints

If the map made by the player using the editor is not complicated, like the original map of the game, there are highlands, forests, cliffs (with slopes around, you can walk up), but the terrain is not complex, does AI will not appear the phenomenon of IQ decline compared to the original map?

Depends, "village" maps, meaning without walls, don't support siege AI, meaning the AI might bunch up a bit. The city maps with walls, mostly should work fine. On the other side we don't have the testing lvl that CA can allow themselves so there might be issues sometimes. Adding on that, higher complexity levels with more then one wall could be complex for Ai alltogether since CA's citys don't even do that.

Your map is very beautiful, I want to ask, I heard that maps edited by CA'S map editor will have AI IQ lower than the original game map AI IQ, is this true? Is there no such phenomenon on your map?

Additionaly the movement penality. And that's where the black arcs get problematics, since they just fuck up this programming because they are only naval. So as it stands atm, if we make battles possible on sea (and that works atm), we need to deactivate black arcs. And that's not something we want to do so we continue to search. Secondly even if it would work, I don't know if it is possible to associate a map to an army (like black arcs) rather then to a zone of terrain. So yeah, complicated stuff, we already managed much I did not tought possible so there is hope tho

Imagine it like this: implementing a map is kinda like putting a pin on the map saying "here is a battle, go search the map xy for it". So already it makes it hard to make faction specific stuff. After that you need to get over the hardcoded autoresolve on every ocean. We (meaning marthenil and maruka) managed to transform all ocean into land (not visually, just from a AI standpoint) to alow normal battles. Once you have that you must manage to code something for lords entering an ocean to transform into boats, else you would have a bunch of jesus running on water everywhere.

thank you so much for the reply..


screw anything resembling a real naval battle..

make a "seige" map thats all stone to simulate the black ark. maybe a tower or two, but not a totally wallled settlement..

of course this will favor the dark elves because it should lol..



then for the other factions naval battles make two side by side "islands" with 2 to 4 ramps connecting the two colored like wooden ramps.

it wont be naval battles , but it will beat the hell out of auto resolves..

i bet it would be insanely popular and from seeing the the type of maps people have done. it appears like it would be easy.. from a laymans POV.


thank you for your great work

we are working and failing on naval battles for months now. And the main problem are black arcs, since it's the only actual naval unit. So yeah, we try

hey migo. great work!!

who would i have to do sexual favors for to get a " semi-seige" battle map designed like a black ark???

modders might could replace the whole "only auto resolve" for naval battals disaster with maps portraying boarding actions..

make 2 wooden "islands" with ramps from the choke point battles to represent seige ramps from ship to ship combat..

i think it would be crazy popular.

Hey there,
Just letting you know I just made a video featuring this settlement.
Great work!

Absolutely amazing

Wow this looks amazing.

gorgeous map, dude

wow nice!

Yea but the books give them somewhat too plus there Cold One riders are norscan not lizardmen lol.

fimir riding lizards would be soo lit

I mean they will make some vampire units accessible to arkhan the black, so making some lizardmen units avaible to lostericsson seems logical

I'd only accept a Norsca faction with unique monsters in that its the only one of the three who would get it cause it feels wrong to give Throgg the Cold One riders (Skeggi style) and even Wulfrik to a point is the same but if a third Nosrcan lord is added for Skeggi and he has access to a unique thing i'd greatly accept it, alternate to it would be to make New World units stupidly expensive and the Skeggi lord has huge decreases for his forces in upkeep and costs.

Do the skeggi have any monsters that aren't curently in tww1 or tww2? thank you and have a great day! :)

And I mean I expect them to give us some compensation for making us wait another 6 months to play norsca.

Few of them are said to be able to ride cold ones indeed :) Lostericsson as a FLC could be a very smart move, their position is probably one of the most unique in the game, so many possibilities :D

Guess we'll have to wait until Norsca is released to see it. Maybe they domesticate some of the dinos instead of having mammoths? I expect them to add lostericsson as a LL FLC for people having the norsca dlc.

Great work, Skeggi could be a very interestin faction to flesh out a bit more, instead of being just a norsca clone :)

Just god damn beautiful.

BEAUTIFUL! Cant wait for it to be in GCCM!

@Kazad classic, im not even surprised, they should pay map modders for doing their job for theme, WTW 1 was only worth buying because of moders ( still on discount tho) the amount of content in vanilla felt like a very unfunny joke

Dunno, they seem to mostly ignore modders in tww since quite some time. No awards or anything like they did with rome 2. Neither GCCM nor SOF got early access where they give it to most youtubers and a bunch of old modders that aren't nearly as big as we are in TWW.

This is awesome. They should give you a job lol

gREAT JOB

Was bored, figured I'd drop in and say Good Job! again.

@Kazad Awesome, thank you for all the hard work you guys put in.

another amazing map , it kind of pisses me off because maps on this epick level should be in the base game ;/

they are, may take some time until we tested it and find time to add it, but most big maps that come out are from people that join our team or we do contact them about adding their map if it conforms to our requirements

This is absolutely beautiful. Are these maps automatically added to GCCM? Or do I need to subscribe to each individual one?

I've seen em! Well, a bunch of them. This one is unique from what I've seen so far though. Great work.

I've already made a shitton of other maps for game 1 and quite a few for game 2 if you want to see more of my work

I haven't seen anything like this yet! Very excited to see other work from you! By the way, the Enlgish word for "colonie" is spelled "colony".
