    al muthana WIP, Rudd would like your input

    http://www.megaupload.com/?d=OZ9CL7DD

    Hi all

    Since TG is the place for PR, I was hoping for your input on my mapping project.

    This is a 4k combined arms map in a similar style to kashan though quite different.

    I'd call this an Alpha still, though its bordering on beta.

    I'm afraid I don't have any good screenies of the map of late, but here are some earlier screenies.

    Thank you to anyone who takes the time to have a look and report back. I have a thick skin, if you don't like something say it and I'll take it in the spirit its intended.


    Just unzip the al_muthana folder in the zip to ur levels folder, This will not interfere with your ability to play online normally.

    be aware that all the assets are on low spawntimes etc on all layers not just training. This will not be true of the final version, this is just for testing.

    Downloading now and later I am going to try it myself. Just from the screenies looks interesting especially the bunker complexes(underground tunnels hopefully ), if you need anyone to help test the map in a larger version i would be happy to play it but I can't do anything technical.

    "I can't do anything technical. "

    no worries, the most technical thing I'm asking of people is "if you see a bug/problem, take a screenshot with the map up so I know where it is"

    If you want some help, I _can_ do things technical. I was working on a map of my own but I'd certainly be interested in hopping onboard with someone else's project, it might be easier for a first map project

    We could even maybe set up a subversion repository for the files.

    Just a general thing to keep an eye on; don't build bases on lower ground totally dominated by surrounding hills. Many maps have bases and defenses in valleys (many on qinling, kashan, ...). Basically the bases and defenses are in tactically worthless positions, but you still have to get in there and defend them although they aren't spots you would naturally defend.

    Operation archer's fortress and caves on the hilltops are good examples of how it should be, the US base on that map is the best example of how it shouldn't be. If it weren't for the zone of death, it would be totally indefensible. That is why they had to tweak the map there.

    Download the map and have a look

    There is actually only 1 area that is raised in the entire map, and there is a FOB on top of it.

    Re: al muthana WIP, Rudd would like your input

    Unfortunately Im getting a lot of Kashan vibe. A lot of the things look pretty copy-pasted in my opinion. Multi complex bunkers, singled out villages in the middle of nowhere, etc.

    Im not too sure. There needs to be something drastic to make it a distinctively different map.

    Re: al muthana WIP, Rudd would like your input

    I don't like the mostly-flat area. in the bunker complex though There should be SOME terrain variation for infantry combat to be better.

    As for the "Kashan" feel.. I'd actually like to see something like this replace or at least complement Kashan. It's a different map.

    Now what would be REALLY cool is if you put in enough villages and points of interest to make it AASv3.

    If that was the case, and there were enough points of interest for random AAS, it'd be a winner for sure.

    You could add some greenery and some more rocks, maybe along a dried out riverbed to give some variation on the map. More like a savanna, sparsely with trees in between rocky hills.

    I'll d/l and take a look at it Rudd. I've followed it on RealityMod and I think it is promising. I don't think it matters if it is a desert like Kashan or not, just as long as it has some interesting terrain and can host some quality fighting.

    I will most certainly have a look for you Rudd, it's always fun to see big maps! Thanks for letting us have a sneak peak.

    Why don't you put an oasis instead of the bunkers ? Perhaps a knoll so Armor can't roll up ? That would make this map even more enjoyable.
