This has been on the shelf for a while, I wanted to submit the previous map first.
I'm trying out a somewhat asteroidy map style, like Keeper Decagons. Needs a looooot of work.
And now that the two maps I hated are out of the way, I should have much better maps to come next. Y'know, cuz testers and such.
this was pretty easy, but it has a few neat things.
because of how the HQ(ATLA) is set up its most effective when parked sideways.
also, this gives me a good template for my map(in terms of difficulty, this is what I am aiming for, given the fleet I've picked.
thanks!
A short, relatively easy and quite pleasant map to play. Glad to see you think my "asteroid" style is worth doing, though trust me, they don't require as much work as you might feel. I literally just draw some randomly shaped blobs of 1 height land, then layer it with 2 and 3 high land. If I know what I'm working towards, a decently-sized asteroid field can be made in under 10 minutes.
But hey, at least you're trying it. Makes me feel good about my messy style. :D
Trivial, but the story looks planned out...
