Unfinished Maps

[Timothy Hamlett]

There are several unfinished maps in the game. I recommend that a map designer finish these maps so that they become playable. The maps discovered so far are:

Corinthian Isthmus (4) Tuscan Acropolis Two Seas (6)

#2970 is related.

Any updates on this so far?

[Timothy Hamlett]

Yes, there are some updates. All the maps are "refinished," and I have to review them.

[Niek]

Do you mind sharing them so others can give feedback too? (Either here, in the forums or the scenario designing PM)

[Niek]

Are there any updates on this? Screenshots maybe?

[Itms]

Don't forget to keep us updated! ;)

There would probably be more progress on the forum, artists just don't use Trac very much :/

[Stan]

Actually they are CoM members I ask thamlett and niektb to give feedback on it :)

[Timothy Hamlett]

Hey guys, sorry for not keeping you informed quicker. SiahH accidentally deleted the finished maps before he was able to upload them. All is not lost however, he says that he knows exactly what should go where Meanwhile, I'll upload a patch changing the map description to make it obvious to players that the map is unfinished - this will temporarily solve the problem of people starting lobby games and then realizing there are no resources at all.

[historic_bruno]

If the maps are that unfinished, they should just have the "demo" tag or something, so they aren't visible with the default map filter.

[Stan]

Thamlett said on IRC he would provide a patch for it :)

[Timothy Hamlett]

A temporary fix, setting the demo flag for these unfinished maps.

Version of Two Seas (6) with Post Proc

[Niek]

I've attached a version with Post Proc settings.

I think though that there can (should) be some improvements made with the texture usage of the seas. I would like to point to Sporades Islands(2) for an excellent example.

It is really a huge map btw, certainly not one that my GPU does like. :P

There seems to be quite some need to trade to get metal, maybe some more metal mines would help. The amount of wood in there is huge, in some places I'm not sure if we shouldn't remove some. As I guess this is designed to be played 3vs3 the teams should be set up that way.

The map also could use some animals and other food sources.
