    Wow, that's really cool. Have you tried pathfinding on it. I had some problems with units scaling the cliffs (up and down) when I experimented with such an idea.

    btw, may I ask... I was creating this kind of map on my own but... how can I see (minimap?) the "borders" of the map? (overall, not between factions) and how can I add unita?

    hope this will clear all of your doubts (it's a part of the map)

    Good job. Make sure that you paint the "unpassable ground" texture on the cliff edges, so that units will not be able to walk on the walls.

    the tranquility of servitude greater than
    the animating contest for freedom, go
    home from us in peace. We seek not
    your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch
    down and lick the hand that feeds you,
    and may posterity forget that ye were
    our countrymen."

    Great, great map. Can we have the map to use in custom battles?

    another preview...

    just a touch, to make difficult the battle.... the very very long "secret passage" (thanks ephialtes! u are a true traitor) i created, it's tiny.. so an army has to march, in forced "column formation"

    i know it could be unhistorical.. but it could be very interesting in game ..

    Very impressive! If this is done, it will prompt me to reinstall the game.
