map?

[joemo]

does the map get rid of america i think it is a good idea because its pointless going to america sure maybe gold bu a always rebelious place to conquer

[banzai_travis]

rest assured the map does not include america. can't really give any more details at this stage, but just know that it really is epic in scale.

if you want to see the map then go to the 3rd video blog, u should be able to catch a few screenshots showing the map there.

[banzai_travis]

as stated elsewhere in the forums, the map seen in the blogs is not our final map, not even close, its just a test map for our scripting features

[OdinX]

holy crap, really? Wow, by the time u guys finish, I don't even think it'll be Medieval 2.

[jmack]

sweet, dominion totalwar ;p

[joemo]

thanks yay no americas

[OdinX]

hey Bonzai, I'd like to know, does the map look good or bad, I mean really. Because you said it was epic in scale so obviously, it's big, but most mods that alter the map so there would be more regions or more places just look ugly. So I wanna know, does it look pro or ?

[banzai_travis]

i wish i could answer that but i cant. not because i'm not allowed but because the map is still being produced by our mappers (gigantus et al) so i haven't seen it. rest assured however that the settlement limit is maxed, map size is almost maxed, and extensive research has gone in to placements of our Permanent Stone Forts as well as placement of settlements, borders and so on.

And the blog 4 is from August 13
Sooo in my honest opinion it's not the final map

[Azim]

As banzai_travis said, the mappers are currently reworking the map, so we don't know what the current state of the map is, but the last version of the map was pretty good for a working copy, so I expect the final map to be very good. Rest assured, the map is very large.

[OdinX]

Wow, then I guess it will be something all of us will be liking. Thanks for your attention guys, I appreciate it and all of your hard work. And as many before have said, please take your time so you can squeeze the best out of this mod.

If you look carefully at the last dev blog, you will see some images of the map. Including the radar map. With fog of war off. Go look!

The Preview....

[Walkman810i]

I don't think that's the final map. As far as I know they are changing it. Correct me if I'm wrong

[true born Lithuanian]

Well yeah... It's their final map, at least they say so...

Edit: Oh sorry, I've forgot to add this tiny word NOT (final map)

[OdinX]

I don't think that's the final map. As far as I know they are changing it. Correct me if I'm wrong

I was actually gonna say that. Most of the team doesn't know what the final map is gonna look like and I don't think they'll let it slip through one of the blogs. Essentially, everyone who is working on the mod are game designers even if they don't know it. SO I think we're gonna get our latest and possibly last look of the map when the preview comes out.

You are right OdinX, most of us have no idea what the map looks like now, but the images in the blog might give you guys a general idea of what to expect - the current map is based off of that one.

No it is not. If you read the blog carefuly, Hross clearly states there, that the map used in my ARP part is not DotS map. I know it because I made those screenies and I used different mod's map in fact.
