Tribe: TBD

TRIBE layout:



Not sure why the screenshot came out this way! The transparent areas look much different when you're playing so I suggest you try it and refrain from judging by the screenshot.

Looks great! And is that a wraparound i see at the top?

looks great, but for me i got the same problem with this map as with others which have 'realistic graphics' the rocks and grass seem like from a picture to me. which just doesn't fit in with the background and the whole game. i honestly enjoy maps with cartoonish graphics just like the game itself.

Yes, there is a top wrap on this map.

Realistic graphics were somewhat what I was going for. I might make some minor changes to the graphical style to compensate for the game elements, but other than that I prefer them as they are now. Thanks for your input though.

I'm suspending the 1DM version (for now) to focus more on improving the main map. Please change thread name accordingly, mods.

Expect update soon, sorry I haven't gotten around to it. I'm planning on reducing the size, which has been brought up, along with turret/PU placement, and minor graphics edits.

I think the realistic graphics contrast nicely with the cartoon planes, rather than spoil the effect.

Update: Version 2.0, 30 December 2011

Major Edits:

• Reduced size, it's now 4350x1750 pixels.
• Added neutral bomb. Similar to Mandrad's Planepark, it's on a rotation with a Missile for 30 seconds, so the bomb only spawns every 60 seconds. I'm hoping this will shorten game times and encourage use of the bottom route.

Minor Edits:

• Added a turret to shoot in the cage, moved low turret.
• Changed right team color from blue to yellow, I think this will look good with the cool-colored background.
• Minor graphics edits.

Hopefully I'll get some more feedback after the holidays.

No, I'm not entertaining a Ball version right now.

One of the main things I was getting comments on (and observing) was that people were having trouble telling what was collidable and what was part of the background (visibility issues). This update addresses that by redesigning the 'midground' layer and making the bamboo cage transparent. Also, the image used for the water was changed.

Screenshot, download link, and other information can be found in the first post.

Those are some awesome graphics. I must play this map.
