We need more maps!

[Twfan55]

How do we make them, I am not satisfied at all with the ones out right now.

[guerra]

I would especially like to see more naval maps with some land and rocks and such. You know, shallow water, jagged rocks, islands, etc.

[Zyphlan]

Guerra indeed good idea.
Maybe special currents so you have to maneuvre. and actually some waves i quess in the old days when there was a fight with heavy storms it was damn to maneuvre.

[Prince_of_Macedon]

A flat map or two is what's needed. It'll weaken campers tremendously.

The terrain disadvantage/advantage is fun, but not in a ranked game.

They said they would release modding tools soon so that may be the answer but with SEGA as the publisher they would say wait until a expansion so they buy that instead.

When they do, I will make some maps, as I did over a 100 for ntw2.

There can never be enough maps !.

[AustrianGeneral]

altough im not a friend of maps like grassy flat in medieval2, im of the opinion too, that this game needs more and balanced maps. Especially in 2v2, there are only 2 Maps, and one of them is quite fair. In Provence one team has a big mountain...

Maps should be designed for this game that promote movement at the very beginning of the game. Like a bump of ground in the middle of the field where u can shoot down from, encourages early skirmishes to take place. People fighting for position is what TW SHOULD be about.

Not being like, oh do i attack on this map?

[AustrianGeneral]

i cant agree with you, it can be very frustrating if you HAVE to attack because your enemys spams Artillery and camps on a mountain

Im not against things like small hills or wood, but against such tremendous big advantages like mountains arent fair.

I want to murder the person who made the map "Anatolia" it is soooooooooooo one sided

The Caucasus is really bad too. I had an opponent who started at the top of the mountain. When I maneuved from my side to his flank, he simply reformed his army to face mine, and then he told me to attack him.

[Carnifex Carney]

I totally agree, a nice flat map is what's needed. I'm getting pretty tired of people who host games on maps where they know they'll be at the top of some steep hill. I've seen one guy host a 1v1 game on Ceylon (a map where player 2 has to climb steep terrain and march around impassible cliffs) everyday for the last few.

I'll have to keep a chart or something to remember all of the one sided maps but it seems like that's all of them.

[Gunner24]

As far as I'm concerned, we don't need ONE flat map, we need dozens of all kinds of different maps....in ntw2 there are about 180 maps for MP play, there is no reason why Empire should not have that many at some stage in the furure.

i play myth II soulblighter you can play different modes of game play it could seriously make some fun games, as i have tremendously enjoyed myth II and highyl recomend you trail the game yourself. it will run on all computers if u can run this game. myth II is ten years old now and has a multiplayer of 200+ players still.

Anyway

1. Capture the flag, simply put if u lose all your flags your army dissapears and you lose the game. The more flags at the end of a time limit is the winner. Basicly every team has a flag so if 6 players play there are 6 flags.

2.Body count- effectivly the most damage you do is the winner, even if you lose if you got higher damage you win.. if you camp you will lose this type of game

3. balls on prarade- same as capture the flag except there are balls which you can move

4. territories- lots of flags around the map, more flags at the end of the game wins. or if you eliminate the other player

5. last man on the hill, one flag end of time limit uncontested person on flag wins the game

6. steal the bacon, same as last man except its a moving ball

7. Stampede (wont work in ETW) basicly you have a bunch of units to get to a rally point, you have some, the enemy has some. Both of the units can be killed and the one with the most getting to the flag wins.

8. King of the hill, basicly one flag, you have to touch the flag around a certain radius to get time. so if there is 5 minutes on the clock and 2 players touch teh flag every second they both get time.. winner is the one with the most time


These could work for the game shame they are too stupid to think of such things

[Tercero]

I think none of them would work what i mean.. more flags?? just kill the entire army and you will win too

[ramses12]

sparta i like ur ideas!

this is what we need for empire! a motivation to move and attack

i like the idea that in empire u must not build and cover buildings or grow up economy and defend them.

I will put my concentration in fights and battles.


but without fighting for terratoriums or flags it can be boring.

The only one I would see working, or fit with the game would be Body count, 2 of them: territories, and last man on the hill sound good, but winning would also be killing enemy armies, why not get all flags, rout the enemy and march to the tarritories, and last man on the hill would be last man standing, right, also the same.

[Prince_of_Macedon]

Looks like Creative Assembly is doing a map survey here. Tell them what you think.

[masliko]

what is the reason for not having a map editor?,that would end the prob right there.


P.S Prince_of_ Macedon,I enjoy your com vid's.
