    has something changed in the planet editor or something because I haven't been on the forums that much in a couple weeks and creating a map like this was just simply impossible with cliffs/terrain height... coz that is pretty amazing

    yes! The new PTE build give you the ability to *copy, paste, rotate and scale* CSG features as well as place metal spots etc :D

    I imagine Seton's clutch would work nicely. An island at each pole with a land bridge (or a modified version with multiple land bridges) running north to south.

    Also @elodea 's crazy planet looks like it could be used to make something along the lines of corvana chasm from SC2 (I know everyone hates it but the map was fun), especially if we can produce some bridges.

    It was fun, but also a goddamn nightmare.

    EDIT: the map that is, I actually love SupCom2

    It was, and would be even more so in PA (orbital and air wars fighting to build teles :). I also played quite a bit of SC2 but it was the first RTS I got really into so I didn't notice the RTS Lite aspects of it that seem to annoy most people.

    Sorry colin, I'm just too lazy to write supcom2.

    I imagine it's quite a hard thing to make, especially if you want a multiplayer community. Making something easy to learn but interesting enough to keep playing is a challenge, more so if you want to give a complete beginner a fighting chance against most players. Balancing for casual play against an AI is easier, but you need to give a lot of options so that the player can keep ramping up the challenge while still winning reasonably regularly.

    I did an update on the map as requested by Zaphodx I removed the metal Island at the backside of the map to make it more like the original one. I also placed more metal on the center of map. Metal compared to Supreme Commander mass is not the same so the map would get very boring and slow if I would place the same amount of metal spots as the original fields of isis

    By placing the right csg brush (especially with the right settings on pathable, which we currently only can modify via mods) in the right place. Simply as that really.

    Loving it, although you have to adjust it a little so it become suitable for 2v2, 3v3, ect. !

    You can custom place spawn locations by using the editor now and you can also change the size of your spawn zones by going into the PAS file and changing the size. Open it with notepad or notepad++. It will be one of the first lines of text. It is landingzonesize or something like that. If you add custom spawn locations you can't guarantee the teams will spawn on the same side if you have more than 2 spawn zones, one for each team. So what I did was just to increase the spawn size from 50 to 750 so teams and individuals on feilds of isis have a much better level of choice where to spawn.

    I've uploaded your map with this slight change and a photo of the line you need to change.
