Sick of joining other people's games where they have ridiculous/unbalanced systems so I'll be hosting my own from now on but I want to host some good, well balanced systems SHARE THEM WITH ME!!!
You should get alpha2546s map pack at pamm. Whenever I need maps for a teamgame (or ffa) I always pick one of them. It is guarantee success, I promise Just remember to read what kind of games the maps are made for (so the spawns are fitting). Her you have a link to the forum post about it so you can check it out
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B4CHnHbNTBO0NmV5akdDSEtQeFE&usp=sharing They have custom spawns so you get to start with your team. Follow map guidelines in the filename. Like if it says 2vs2 then host 2vs2. All non-shared.
I remember there where some EPIC maps made by... gha I cant remember who made them. They where hourglass, arc shell, things like that. The terrain was totally different, with underpasses and planet sized bridges. Amazing work. Surprisingly, the AI dealt with it quite well and they are very balanced. Air pathfinding can be a bit visually wonky, but it still works fine.
@guest1 maybe? See https://forums.uberent.com/threads/ringworlds-confirmed-ufo-sighted.66077/page-4#post-1037175
Ah! Yes, that's it. I took the individual planets out of that system and played on them a fair bit, online too. People's reactions where great. And just so you know, I did make sure to give him credit when I used them. I wish there where more maps like those.
lol I remeber posting my king's egg map in that thread. idk if it still works though. Probably does. [proof of concept and made a long time ago so, duh unbalanced]
I am consistently impressed by the stability of the pathing system in situations like that. I can almost guarantee it still works fine. In fact, this weekend I'll be online hosting games on these sort of maps if anyone cares to join me!
