Blooded Crossing v1.1 Author File Description Demynator Posted on 12/25/12 @ 07:25 PM (updated 12/27/12) Posted on 12/25/12 @ 07:25 PM (updated File Details Map Size: 400x400 (Large) Number of Players: 8 Balance: Balanced Difficulty: Normal Made with version: 1.1 Minimap:

This is my first map.



---MAP DESCRIPTION---

This 2 vs 2 vs 2 vs 2-style map features a ford going through the river as a chokepoint. Any player pair that manages to control this chokepoint will be able to win the game.



---PERSONAL NOTES---

Playing this map against reasonable opponents in Deathmatch balanced is a tonne of fun! Seriously, if you look at the river when everybody's castles have gone really big, there's arrows and mangonel stones flying just about everywhere. And not to mention the ford... oh my. Troops from every direction. Kill ratio on average 3 deaths per second. Mental.



---CHANGELOG---

version 1.1

Made the ridges look a bit more natural

Made the river look a bit more natural

Made stone sources look a bit more natural

Revamped wood distribution



version 1.0

Released the map.



---KNOWN BUGS---

When an AI on the other side of the ridge attacks you, he sometimes gathers his army next to the ridge thinking it's next to your castle, as the ridge isn't very thick.



---TIPS---

Take advantage of your human brain. Use trebuchets to launch diseased cows into your enemies' castles, something an AI most likely wouldn't do.

If you're the one of your pair to be closer to the chokepoint, build several towers with mangonels, lots of crossbowmen and arabian archers to control it. It is a bit costly, but pays off.



Have fun playing! Author Comments & Reviews ( All | Comments Only | Reviews Only ) Demynator
