Tons of horribly unbalanced maps for review and download.

Ok, now that we get that little comment out of the way, to the maps!

(Yes suggestions to improve them are greatly appreciated!)

Do you like Istar's Cross in a FFA? If so you might just like this map. The entire point of this map is that nothing is safe, and nothing is sacred. The recruitment tiles around the edge can attest to that, making a mere 2 hexes between one players recruitment area and another players keep.

Let the crossing and doublecrossing begin!

Playable in 1221 or FFA

Everyone starts in the center of Twist, and must move quickly to secure a keep and villages, else they will find themselves outnumbered and surrounded.

Best played FFA or any combination of 2v2.

Beutiful, unusual, deadly. The Water Palace features several terrain types and provides a wonderful view to those who watch as well as those who play. Any teams of 2v2 or FFA is playable.

A favorite of people who enjoy quick games, rush is just like it sounds. A quick 1v1 that will make most players curse or praise the RNG for all of it's horrible unfairness.



These maps are NOT finished (although Rush is certainly close) and comments/feedback are more than welcome here. I'm aware that Twist has way too much rough terrain (I'm planning to add in more cave to slow down drakes, it's just that putting in cave is hard since cave meshes so poorly with most terrain) and Doublecross has hardly been touched.

Good (nice) maps (bump).

Sometimes crazy, fun maps are just what people need. Balance is great for competitions, but sometimes the strive for balance makes people forget what games are about. The world is already so full of rules and order, chaos can be the perfect escape.

Actually, the title was really a jab at Doc (although his advice is often very very *very* good). If anyone wants to make some suggstions for these they are more than welcomed too ^^

Perhaps, but eloquently stating the unnecessary and redundant is what I do best. Heck, I could go into politics!

[Playerkiller]

rush is the best imo. i dont like waiting... good with a timer.
for all of the maps esp. rush you shouold make sure player 1 doesnt get advantages like taking the villages first cause hes closer so make sure to balance that.

[Troy]

In 4p-Twist most cpu opponents will stay in the starting keep than move
to the larger keep.

But if you playing against a human things will be different

my idea is change the starting keep.

[Jami]

Troy: These are designed for online MP use primarily. Playing with AI's was/is not a concern of mine when making or balancing these maps.

Playerkiller: There is not a P1 advantage on Rush that I am aware of. Trust me, I've spent a few hours making shure of that.
