New basing map

[GoldenPlums]

Well I really don't agree with your last post but I agree with the one before.

You really need to try it out for a while and think about the options.

[Galleleo]

What do you actually mean by: "the succes of the christmas map??"

I have heard more remarks like: OMG, is that idiotic map still up then: WOW THIS MAP ROCKS

[Ephemeral]

GoldenPlums,
Thanks for the effort.
I agree with TK, I am curious why you would develop maps that require even more teamwork and communication then the 'normal' map.
IMHO, few people care enough about Pubs to make the 'normal' maps work now. And, there are large amounts of people already in Elim measuring their penises everyday (read as it is easier to do this than to bother trying to organize and communicate at the levels needed to get a good Pub base game going).

I am encouraged that you care enough to do this, I am cynical enough to think it won't work for reasons stated above.

niiiiiiiice it worked, gj - good suggestion eh? lol :P good work

The word "good" in this sentence is used 3 times within 8 words.

I believe this term is called, "overly excessive," or for people like eRad, "Your-verbosity-hurts-my-brain" syndrome.

Goldenplums, instead of workin on a new map, why dont you sort out your connection, you are another 290ms terr in pub all the time

:P

[Copy!?!]

Not everybody is from USA or Canada or has good/affordable broadband in his area. 290 isn't all that bad.

[bounty]

290ms is terrible

If you dont have a good connection then dont play, spoils the game for non-laggots.

[fatty_acids]

how do u define "terrible"? i define terrible as when they lag so much u can't aim at them or kill them. i can still aim at 290ms player and kill them

as for the map, change everything else but the # of flags. different # of flags does nothing to the gameplay but a different map does. no one cares about teamwork in pub cuz there's a bunch of noobs and idiots that tk too much and...of course...LTs.

[GoldenPlums]

I love you bounty*killer i hope you know that.

[ÆNIMA]

I don't understand the purpose of the safe zone.

Once a team can get a terrier to the safe zone, the skill needed for a terrier is suddenly unnecessary. And of course, if an entire team is killed off...the defending team will just crowd around the safe zone popping off whoever tries to come out, and it just turns into a spawn-fest.

[GoldenPlums]

Yeah, you're pretty much right. That safe zone may in fact not work - hard to tell without trying it out. But its there for a few reasons 1) there are plenty of people in pub who wouldn't think of putting a terr there, 2) you have to defend or, at least, be aware of that safe zone, 3) the flag rooms should be pretty easy to defend so u have to give an attacking terr some chance, i.e. avoid attacking teams that have a terr that constantly dies, 4) the two flags rooms are set up to make it fairly easy to send single bounce bombs, jav bombs, from one flagroom to the other. There should be a lot of fire through those holes between the flagrooms. So the terr may be safe but anything that detaches to try to attack may well be killed. 5) it gives a route to attack through that channel provided you can fly well enough to keep on the safe zone and avoid flag-to-flag fire. 6) i don't know any other map where u can try this tactic, may be good, may be crap, might be fun.

dont start a flame war, you insulting me on AIM and in subspace is tolerated enough, take the anger somewhere else

[GoldenPlums]

I should have said, if you want to try the map you can download the .lvl file from here

http://www.freewebs.com/goldenplums/local.lvl

using save target as...

[ÛñD@úÑ7è[) {+NtF+}]

you cant save it :P its just the tile set, and if u are to try save target as, its not even an option

[GoldenPlums]

mmm.. I don't know. Clicking on the link will just give the tileset. "Target save as" should work, it works on my computer. PM me your email and i'll send it too you as i'd like someone to try it out.
