TBD_StarStorm

This is my second attempt at making a map, my first being tbd_siege, more than a year ago. Please playtest this on the map test server and give me your comments. Thanks

World wrap is enabled, making the bases very close to each other.
There is no floor or ceiling causing instant death when these are touched. Is this intended?
Its not intuitive of where walls begin and what is flyable safe. Many maps use a single color 3 to 5 pixel thick outer wall to designate which walls hurt.
It feels small for a tbd, but I haven't got to play with players yet. (Even if world wrap isn't considered.)

It looks awesome. Your strongest area is my weakest. Side note as well, the map was uploaded to the test server, but wasn't loaded to the maplist of the server yet. It is there now via /vote loadmap [mapname]
Thank you for sharing.

You sure? I swear I put an invisible wall on either side of the world :/
I couldn’t remember if there is an easier way to do it, if there is, Id didn’t find it.

Yeah, I should fix that.

Because of the semi photorealistic style I made this is, Im not sure if the “danger colour” idea is good, but Ill test it and see what I think.

Same size as tbd_cave.

Thanks for all your feedback, it will really help me make the next version better

Cave has a lot of obstacles in the middle, I would make your map very slightly larger.

This is a beautiful map. Awesome work on the graphics! Of course the world wrap should be disabled, and I agree that the map should be widened a bit, unless you decide to add obstacles in the middle. I was able to run nearly a straight line from one base to another without even encountering any obstacles worth maneuvering around. This makes it too easy.
