EBII Maps

**antisocialmunky** · 08-09-2009, 01:54

First off I'd love to congratulate the EB team on some excellent MP maps with such varied terrain and such nice recreations of the ancient wonders. But for EBII, I have a few suggestions.

#1) Not a big problem but please name the maps a appropriately. Thisikata(sp) Forest is not a forest. It has like 2 clumps of trees in the edges.

#2) Please give more accurate thumbnails. Some of the thumbnails are really really really misleading. Hilly maps inevitably have thumbs of flat plains. Non-descript maps with thumbs of plains end up with forests on a side of a mountain. Etc etc etc. Please have thumbnails more accurately or a bracket with the map type [grassland]/[forest]/[hills]/[mountain]. Anyone whose hosted a few games should agree with me here.

#3) What is this? http://www.mediafire.com/file/fiw2am...rstMapEver.rpy

#4) What is this? http://www.mediafire.com/file/fiw2am...rstMapEver.rpy

One side can't even deploy! Why? Its just baffling why this was included in the final release. I guess it'd work for Marathon-like battles but one side can't even deploy.

Map starts with 'Pan' if you care.

#5) Less hilly maps. While it looks pretty epic to have units running down the side of a mountain, the in-game penalties hit extremely hard for the steeper hills.

Anyways, I hope you guys keep up with the good work. I'll be really enjoying EBII multi.

I really have to agree on the misleading thumbnails. Those always got under my skin; otherwise, no problems for me.

At approx. 2:30 mark.

Yeeeehaaawww.

.... Yeah. I agree, the 75-degree mountains are pretty ridiculous.

The misleading thumbnails are an annoyance, too.
