hi im new to sen but i thought ide post this to see if anyone is into this type of melee map making, i make alot of maps with square terrain, both to be balanced, new terrain something most players arent used to and visually pleasing to the eye, ive not seen any maps like mine before i was curios if anyone here might be into such a thing and if they are, maybe i coulde learn/share some ideas with 'whomever' might actually read this post, i added one of my earlyer maps to give anyone who might care an idea of what im talking about. please comment/share. thank you happy.gif

'edit' i thought ide add this after reading into a few things here in the forums, i posted this because i havent seen any maps made with this kind of terrain before and while mine may not be "proffessional" grade in their quality it woulde be nice someday, if i, or someone else were to release some maps of that quality in this style of melee map, im always open to tips, suggestions to improve my skills as a melee map maker and otherwise. ty for reading yet again lol =P

[sub]I don't get it, how is square terrian visually pleasing to the eye? I think it looks ugly. Melee maps should look natural, flowing. The map is not even close to being balanced. Seems just like a maze of pathways.[/sub]

Too unbalanced but thats not the point. If you want to see cool square terrain maps...

You can find pictures in links on the top right of the pages.

As you can see they follow basic melee map layouts, they just have a new look. No one cares too much for these.

hey hey b/c you dont like it doesnt mean some others dont, and i never said it was balanced happy.gif i just said it was one of my earlyer maps, and ive had lot of positive input on these type of maps ive played on b.net while they may not be your normal style map.

ADDITION:
and ill admit it is alot of maze'ish pathways, i like maps that have little room to build, forcing the players to manage their buildings/units more carefully, and besides all i see on b.net anymore is BGH and LT i dont think ive seen another map hosted for a long time, i make normal maps too but i dont like making things everyone has seen before, that everyone plays all the time, regardless thx for your input

You play in east then. If youre looking for a game you play in Europe or Korea. And besides, I still see Luna and a few others when im in east..
