Any idea how long it'll be before its listed on the games list? I am excited to play it. But haven't been active enough on the forums to know what the delay time is for XML to Beat approved.

+1 bonus for every 3 track locations you control while your car has fuel.

I think this is a fine suggestion.

Its hard balancing the idea so people don't cash before the first bottle neck, then again why would you pu them all on a bottleneck as everone else would work together to hit you. The goal is to move down the river faster than anyone else, how do you suggestion I encourage this? I like the idea that ...

My idea is to have a whitewater rafting sim like thing were you start in the boat of your colour (launching point) and can bombard any of the starting positions. The entire map has neutrals of 1 (except portages).
I want to have 4 obstacles where there is an alternative to portage around it on land ...

Not sure the last time you watched an F1 race - but the braking zone into corners is where (most of) the overtaking happens...

C.

So this is a F1 race now? I thought this was nascar or something? It is f1 style as it isn't simply an oval track

By that you mean it is open wheeled formula style ...

No traction on this then?

Yep thats true perhapse I was thinking that the finish line and track lap would give the big bonus so you could then attack the winner circle and gain that position to attack pits. I would like it to be as difficult if not moreso to get that bonus as it would be to get a full track lap.

Beautiful.. I agree Beta it

Looking really good. I am excited to play it.

One more minor suggestion

Oita might be moved a little to the right. the font makes the O mimic the border and could be confusing for those with bad eyesight.

Can't wait to drop some numbers on this!

...

Also, what about an objective? Put a helicopter in the center of the map with 8 buildings as starting positions? Perhaps have a variety of escape routes, hold any to win? (Maybe a river with a boat, armored vehicle from a bank, helicopter... secret tunnel... teleportation pad (now I'm ...

The wheels were just for fun... I was sick of a basic background and my mind went somewhere

Oh and more 1 thing:

If you keep your design style, the strategy will be to stay in the starting point geting more troops, and then blow out, but then, the gameplay won´t be worthy with diferent straegies. So there are three options:

1. Keep your own map.( If you like, and the other players ...

Critique:
My Prejudice.

The problem with these types of maps is that they are essentially builder maps with only a few strategic options- you essentially either try and scramble for more goodies from neutrals, or build up a monster stack and wait to pounce on someone trying the ...

Actually I was thinking that if you move the name left a bit you could bring the number down beside the name. As it is now the numbers seem separate and floating away from the name.

BRAVO MarshalNey =D> =D> =D> =D>

That is a very comprehensive break down of what this map should play like. The only Thing I would add is that the starting points should be randomly alloted and should be within 3 of a building... kinda like you ran form your house and shit is getting mad round you ...

I'd like to know what you think of my new draft

And the way the neutrals increment. I like the balanced one. As it forces 4 going one way and 4 the other. Now if you are in a quads game, it would mean the team could work together towards the end and pool there to hit, or other options..

Thanks in ...

I'm not sure about this one - the one overriding thing I get though - is that the track seems to go the wrong way.

Do you mean counter clockwise? that is typical of american racing. Fans of Nascar live by the motto "Drive Fast and Turn Left". And when I took a tour of the Indy 500 racetrack a ...

for some reason i can't send a pm to qwert. So here is my message and my 2 cents for the map.
Hello there qwert,
i really appreciate what you are doing with the maps and all, that's why i would like to inform you that one of your maps, the Peloponnesian war map although you gracefully put some ...

Oh and think I like the idea of one lane the whole way anyway. I'd probably prefer it that way

Like a simple map set up the way arena speedball games are? or what do you suggest.

Being an avid racing fan I might suggest that if you want to add extra lanes, don't do it throughout the track. I'd just add a second racing line to every other corner. This will conform more to the norm of racing, and lessen the burden on you a bit. I am not sure how you will code it so you'd only ...

uh... well, I'm not to keen onit because I prefer conquer places. Well, representations of them.

Valid, I enjoy them too. I know there are a few off the map options out there. I love map based action. I just had a thought and wanted to run with it. Again I have a few more, one is map based, but I ...

Okay here is a draft of an idea i had. It consists of 100 places, everyone has a lane they start out in.
Gaining a lane gets you a bonus of + TBD.
Outside the lane are bonuses of + 2 , they will be neutrals 2 forces strong
The ends connect to allow for attacking your opponents weak side.
Want to ...

I mentioned that I had another map idea, one of a few actually.... well check the first one out under the title Century Game


And continue to share your thoughts on the Pelo map please.

Congrats... I like your little joke... I really like the art direction, well done!
