davo Posted September 10, 2001 Share Posted September 10, 2001 This week's discussion topic is on all things about the upcoming, "as-is" Emperor map editor. (link to Chris' annoucements on WW's Emperor forum - http://messagebrd.westwood.ea.com/boards/emp/english/Forum1/HTML/008764.html)Are you happy with the decision to release a no-frills editor rather than a more polished one?Do you think a map editor will improve the Emperor community?Are you going to attempt to make your own maps?

bob_fox Posted September 10, 2001 Share Posted September 10, 2001 I don't know if I'll make my own maps. It depends on just how difficult the map editor will be to use. Someone will probably edit the editor (;D) to make it easier to use. Even if no-one does and I don't figure out how to use map editor, there'll be hundreds of Dune fans who will, and so there'll be thousands of maps made in no time. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ordos45 Posted September 10, 2001 Share Posted September 10, 2001 I think its a good idea. I can't do triggers very well but just making a map would be pretty fun. Creating the ultimate map, something that makes infantry the best possible thing to use would be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edric O Posted September 10, 2001 Share Posted September 10, 2001 I voted for the "as-is" editor in that topic, so I guess my opinion is obvious.I don't think I'll make any maps myself, but I'm sure many others will. And I can't wait to see what weird things people can make!Ordos45, I think you would like a map in which the only way to get to the enemy base is by crossing infantry rock.

Acriku Posted September 10, 2001 Share Posted September 10, 2001 But of course Air units would be used in that kind of map, too, with the infantry ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_fox Posted September 11, 2001 Share Posted September 11, 2001 I think some maps with more build space would be great. Perhaps I could build a decent sized base for once. ::) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted September 13, 2001 Share Posted September 13, 2001 one where there is no infantry rock just lots o sand and 2 pleatues on oposet sides and then only air units will be uses(worms act alot more than usual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob_fox Posted September 16, 2001 Share Posted September 16, 2001 Yes, good job, Riper. You could still add in a few more options, though. (I want to be able to give the Saboteur cloaking ability. ;D) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riper Posted September 17, 2001 Share Posted September 17, 2001 The saboteur cloaking ability? Then they'll make really powerful and cheap units. I'll look into it.[glow=purple,2,300]Riper[/glow] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_fox Posted September 17, 2001 Share Posted September 17, 2001 We could always make them more expensive (I'm thinking 500 bucks). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
