Looks really good. But what's up with the Square shaped water pool in the lower left?

 

[Av3ng3r]

It's a quarry, I used a more or less square hole with a ramp leading down it. Thought it was quite original . I'll post more screenshots later.

 

[Toffi]

WOW!!!

 

[Rojen]

Looks good, just wondering if theres a way to the two islands when there aren't any boats

 

[Av3ng3r]

Relying on people not leaving boats lying around and admins reseting the decently. When I add the tunnelsystem I'll add an underground link to them.

I like what i see , i myself is trying to make a map though i suck at it

Well, what you need is a lot patience. Especially with Pw maps.

But I hope you'll succeed and good luck to you 

 

[Rothygal]

Looks like a fun map.

it DOES actually look pretty sweet - but the main critisism i can say is the fps.

ofcourse every map maker wants to make things look as good as possible and add lots of eye candy - but the reason i find that pwmod are harder than most is the fact we dont really have the luxury of doing this as fps is a BIG issue inthe mod.

so try and lose the uneccesary bushes and rocks + other things that dont provide any strategic bonus and are just there for looks in the open terrain (i do not mean lose decorations in buildings for immersion, just the unnecessary props) - use the scale options to your advantage.

(had to ***** about it because it does actually look nice - but seing that fps counter in the top left is upsetting )

Thanks do you think you can help me a lil bit?

great job 

 

[Azrayel]

I must say- I like that you picked "European landscape" and stuck with it all the way through, and made it look rather quite original.

Props to you, my friend; hope someone hosts this soon! 

 

[Splintert]

Yes, this looks like a great map.

The FPs counter is while in editing mode and windowed. And i think it's highest res + graphics settings. In full screen mode it's normally about 80fps with highest settings.
But I have also worried about that, but first I wanted to see if it'll work like that

As far as I can

Actually I had desert there before , but Aldric the EU server owner suggested I'd change it to European because of the rather drastic climatechanges. Quite pleased with the result, turned better out than hoped 




Edit: The Tournamentsground are now finished I'll move on something else

 

[Tirok]

Good work.

My only critique having not played it yet is that the iron ore on the rock props that jut out of hills look strange, you should find a better way to accomplish what your going for that doesn't seem to defy gravity.

 

[Eragon91]

I am a bit curious as to how you will make the castles balanced. From the looks of the map, wood castle have no advantage at all, really While other castles are on island, cliffs or through valleys.

Perhaps the adding of a watchtower similar to the one on wood on EU_IVes current map? One that you can go out to, safely.
