aah are you the same job that is doing dutch translations for the official remake site?

anyway on topic:

i think the map looks promising, i am also asking you if you could upload your mission because i want to playtest it (assuming the ai/script works)

as for improvements you might be able to make:

- I think the screenshot where you see the ironmines belong to the ai, but keep in mind that the mines will not mine all the iron in the mountain since they mine in a limited range.
- the map in general is pretty flat, try to create some more reliëf and i know this is veyr hard to do. in my opinion this is the hardest part to do in a map.
- your mountains look boring, my apologies but i do not knowhow to say that in more polite words. anyway it would be nice if you could carve some ravines in them, open the map eidtor and look at majestic waters for example, or even original TSK and TPR maps and you will see what i mean.

For the rest i have no feedback to offer you yet, but i will take a more detailed look at your map if you could upload it here.

[Skypper]

Yes that's me i translate sometimes to dutch.

Thx for the feedback

I don't know how to upload it
but i can mail it to you if you want it is around 95kb I.

I know they dont mine all the iron they have also iron in their store house

Yes the mountains are hard to make.
I get unnatural looking mountains, that's why i have so few.

I will mail it to you..
Or can i upload it here?

this forum has an upload fucntion, just pack your folder with your map in it into a zip or rar and when you write a reply you will see an upload atatchement button and for the mountains try using the evelating tool on size 1 slope 1 speed 2

[Skypper]

i didn't know that.
i will try your tip tomorrow or tonight
It is not a very hard mission.

I tried to make better hills...
New version is in the top post

Good try for first time, but, i didn't test the map out i just checked it.
1. You can see the whole map, so you don't need to explore it + you can see what your oppontents are doing.
2. These coal stacks aren't so well made. I could ask you too check it out once again, and check how another maps have done it.
Ill test it out another time. Thanks.

[Skypper]

i put reveal map on so i can see of my map works fine.
but after it i forgot to put it off.

reveal map is off now, and the new version is uploaded

What's wrong with my coal?

[Kungen]

Your coal in my eyes doesn't look that good out.... Check out some another good sp maps/campaign -- TPR/TSK.

[Skypper]

you mean that it needs to look darker in the middle of the coal field?

[Kungen]

Yeap, it look so weird out, sorry

[Skypper]

it's fine, thx for the tip, i will look tomorrow at it

[dicsoupcan]

I wanted to point out the coalfields but i got beaten to it

since you told me the mission would be easy i thought i could win it by making only axefighters, well i was wrong. the equip rate of the enemy is actually quite high, and that in combination of the defenses makes this mission everything but easy

Also if you want people to make only leather units i would block a few trades (iron weapons) in the market because as you can see i made crossbowmen

Saves.rar

[Skypper]

i like wooden wapens, but if someone like to trade very much for some iron wapon he can do that

i did the mission in 3,5 hours
and my friend in 4,2.

i played missions that took longer
and needed to play serval times to win, so i tought pritty easy.

did you like the map and do you have any other tips?
i really like to improve my map and make more maps

well i actually did like the gameplay, i was focusing on the iron town, and then i saw militia walking out of nowhere so i scouted ahead and saw there was a nother town only making militia, so i went for that. and all of a sudden the iron town blocked my way with the new formation. and when i finally thought i won there was another town . so there were some nice surprises, intended or not. i am kind of confused though, what purpose did the yellow player have and what was the green enemy doing with only 1 fisher 1 serf and an inn?

for the rest i think only visual improvements must be made, or you can use the ground north to make another enemy/ally but the gameplay did not seem bad to me.

[Skypper]

the player in the north would attack you after 1 hour and 36 minutes with 45 knights.
if you didn't get that attack there went something wrong.
the yellow player is there for that attack and to fill up the map and the green one just for fun :p

i uploaded a new version with better hills....

Thx for your help
