Talking about the main index.

Finally got a game on this one, It's a fun high altitude map that favors spiders up north (and probably south too). All terrains on the hills are fun to use, shieldbots and cloakys are also useable... though pathing suffers somewhat. overall good work

In the middle island at the north, the moutain range on the west is much easier to path up for bots (and comms) than the east. This makes it much easier to secure a foothold in the north for the team in the west.

The metal strip down the middle really messes up Vehicles, Tanks and Hovers, since they can only access it from the top or bottom. There is a very narrow strip along the bottom that allows access too, if such chokepoints exist they should be a bit larger. Honestly I'd suggest just a soft gradient up each side that even vehicles can path.

The map hardness may be a bit low, you quickly get large lakes in the middle.

It didn't appear entirely clear to players that the 'bay' areas were pathable. Water absorption settings that make shallow water lighter may help to visualize this.

Rocks on mountains and metal platings in the center should get a higher hardness than 100.

Skasi, I am unware of how to do that but if someone tells me I will make that addition.

USranksmoth - I don't know what tools you use to compile your maps.

https://springrts.com/wiki/Mapdev:terraintype

tl;dr: the mapinfo needs a list of terrain types (which includes hardnesses) and you supply an 8-bit grey-scale where the brightness of each pixel is the index of the "type". So you make a bitmap which is #00 and #01, where #00 is dirt and #01 is stone, and make the terraintypes array in your mapinfo describe the hardness of type [0] as soft and type [1] as firm.

I have no idea about mapping so thanks CArankPxtl! :D

For an example on the per-terrain-type hardness definition see Sand Castles. There the sand is soft while the castles are super solid.

seems like it is a solid colored thing instead of a nice gradient. I am not fond of that kind of setup. I am just going to make my maps super hard.

Map is a massive lagfest now that trees dont disappear at a distance. Recommend unfeaturing.

EDIT: Nevermind, other things were causing lag right after steam release. Map is fine.

That is an issue. Remember that there is a freeze on changing the configuration of any maps.
