Why?? It's huge, there's no meaningful threat.

Map was "designed" by a 6 year old. He just wants to see his creation online. It's not meant to be challenging.

really? then excellent work! it's nice to know all ages ranges have fun with this game. 8)

some players say less is more, but i'm with Yngwie Malmsteen on that ;)

i like this type of map because i like to see how efficiently i can get an inhibitor kill, not all maps have to be tough to be fun.

That 6-year old could probably use a few design tips, like not leaving the inhibitor as unprotected as that, or adding some kind of danger to the starting areas.

Have you never heard "it's a wonder - not that it was done well, but that it was done at all."? Get a life rather than criticize a 6-yo kid's maps.

totally right, and since me an Karsten75 agree it must be so! ;)

seriously asbestos dude, it was made by a six year old.
so, err, you know any six year olds?
i do.
none of them have the focus to do a CW3 map yet, so good on whoever the posters six year old is!

ps author, please put your name on the maps!

Asbestos · November 17, 2014, 11:10:31 PM

I was just trying to give them some hints, but if I offended anyone, really sorry about that. I do know a six-year old, actually.

thumbmaster · November 18, 2014, 08:40:09 PM

No offense was taken. He will never read any of this anyway; just in case there's any NSFW language. I do read select replies to him and that pleases him immensely. He loves the fact that there are people who enjoy his creations. This is his new hobby. Expect a lot more to come.

teknotiss: How does one go about putting their names on the maps? I've searched and couldn't find a spot for it. Maybe I need glasses.

Ok, found it. Is there a way to edit maps that are already uploaded?

Sadly, no. I think there is a way to change the image and possibly the title and author, but Virgil isn't likely to start doing it on request while working on another project, and the map itself can't be changed without all the scores disappearing (which is a problem because the requirement to upload is having posted a score).

You can always change it, finalize, and re-upload, but to quote the guidelines of when to report maps: "The goal here is to allow maps that look almost the same, but play differently." So your edit should either be pretty major, or fix a game breaking problem you hadn't noticed the first time around.

we have a low tolerance for nsfw language (some regional differences in what's considered a very mild swear word, but, as a rule, people here don't swear), and zero tolerance for nsfw images, sounds or other content in these fora and the games.
if you see any please report it immediately so we can keep this a family friendly forum

also agree it's cool that we can see some mapping evolution to come. 8)
although i'm not so excited that i'll be full stopping every word! ;)

Well, it was either full stop or ALLCAPS, which I find very annoying ::)
