Title: Custom map: PalMz - Small Nether
Post by: PalMz17 on July 14, 2017, 09:24:47 pm
Pretty much the same as Darkest Nether. But this one is Medium-sized (256x256 m), 4 times smaller area. I made this one due to five problems with larger maps:

  • Bigger chance of crash with massive armies.
  • Too long loading time, which can lead to time-out for all players, which will disconnect them.
  • A freeze-time everytime an AI bot makes a plan to attack someone (probably because of the huge navigation area).
  • Lower FPS.
  • It's a lagging pain to edit some stuff in World Editor, especially Passability, and long save-times.

This map has less features, but a way more chaotic path-system between the plateau islands, to make the islands feel more distant. Be warned, you will feel a chaotic closeness of your enemies when you're out on your adventures! ;D

Basic attributes:
  • 8 players
  • Deathmatch gamestyle
  • 4 pair of resources per player (32 pairs in total)
  • 5 bridges

There are probably resources on the map that doesn't work due to the tight placements of those...

Stay tuned for more stuff from me! :)
