the new maps

[tobias]

are they any good?

[bob_fox]

Probably not as good as the ones we could make if we had a map editor (HINT, HINT).

lol who u trying to hint? :)

[Klobbersaurus414]

I played one of the new ones and i got crushed, so im never going to play it again.

[bob_fox]

I'm hinting at Westwood. I include myself when I speak of the 3rd party map making business.

[Klobbersaurus414]

Having a personal map editing software would be fun to use and i know we all want it, but having something like this would mean making changes to WOL. They would have to change the server to acommadate the transfer of map files before each battle or else people couldnt play with people with new, 3rd party maps. They would have to make WOL like battle.net by transfering map information before each battle and with 3 dimensional maps that would take way too long.

Well, we could still use them in LAN games. I know a 3D game that had a map editor, and nobody complained about online problems.

[netnifty]

maybe they culd just make it so only the maps that all the players in the game have r displayed.

on the 3 bridges harkonnan 1 (is that a nu 1, i aint sure?) all i did was defend against the harkonnan attacks bein atreides and they just suddenly packed up all their units and sent em against me 4 no reason, i hadn't even seen their base yet.

As I've said in another discussion, on the homeworld maps the computers often just pack up and attack for no good reason.

YEAH. SAD! yet I won that way once. I had no defences. I had no cash. I had no con yard and factory. yet I had lots of other buildings. When I saw that my enemy (who was a computer) had no defenses or units, I packed up and attacked him. He did the same! man that was something to see. He was Atreides, I was an Ordo. guess who won.
