Dune 2000 map pack - for expert warriors only!

[Reactor]

Greetings here, Dune 2000 fans and my friends!

Since I couldn't send my maps to that address what Gobalopper gave me, I decided to upload my map pack here. A few words about them:

- They're irregular. VERY irregular. I made them irregular, since I wanted to create REAL strategic regions, which requires careful planning,hidden opportunities, and of course, a good-shaped mind to use the terrain's specialities. I hate those strictly-shaped levels with squares and such. You'll never come accross with these in real life. So my maps are real-life-like maps with tons of possibilities for all 3 Houses.

- All maps are XL size, with 8 starting points. I love long and bloody battles. I hope you love'em too :) Play on Hard, and score high!

- These maps are for expert users. Not for newbies! In several occassions, the situation may become simply hopeless, even if you play against the AI. Trust me...these maps are strictly for experienced players! :)

These maps are designed in fantastic,and unique ways, carefully combining the certain elements of the tileset. You might come across some unusual stuff also. Now let's see those maps...

Pion villages

-------------

Tileset used: BloxXmas

Size: XL (8 players)

Description: Rumbled pion villages, and some huge fences among the rocks, which were supposed to be protect them. Seems it wasn't enough...

Arsunt

------

Tileset used: BloxXmas

Size: XL (8 players)

Description: Many times passed since the Harkonnen and the Sardaukar have set Arsunt to burst. Now the battle starts again for the crumbling remains of the once beautiful colony. Who shall win?

Valleys of sand

---------------

Tileset used: BloxWast

Size: XL (8 players)

Description: This is a typical nameless place. I had nothing better to do,but call it "valleys of sand". It's the location where Paul and Jessica crashed with the hijacked ornithopter just before they met up with Stilgar and his fremen.

Splint rock

-----------

Tileset used: BloxXmas

Size: XL (8 players)

Description: A very hard, and tough area on Arrakis, with quite irregular areas to build on. You must be a real mover to achieve victory here! The Splint rock itself is at the lower side of the map, near a player starting point.

Wind gulch

----------

Tileset used: BloxBase

Size: XL (8 players)

Description: This map has some unique areas,which y'can use as your advantage (and it can be a real pain in the butt,if you're at these areas). The main building areas are not so badly shredded, like at Splint rock, but y'better choose which place y'use to build your Palace! Ordos is the best at this map, y'shall find out,why...

Cielago basin

-------------

Tileset used: BloxTree

Size: XL (8 players)

Description: This is the hardest, and most difficult map in this whole friggin' map pack. The attack can come from any direction, and the AI is almost unbeatable here. When I built this map, I had a very critical error: the BloxTree doesn't contain any rock outcrops on dirt, only some doodads, which aren't enough to build infantry only areas. Oh well...if you survive this map with 3 or more AI, you're the king of Arrakis! You'll simply SUFFER, when playing this map! The best I can advise you is: Be faster than your opponent...or die.

Well,folks, here are my artworks, y'can play'em if y'want to have some FUN! :) If y'have problems activatin' them, just write here, I shall solve it. Not an easy way,but hell, it's not advised to miss these maps, unless you're a complete Dunehead :)

i downloaded these maps and they are cool, bu you should do more., i wish there will be map where ai players will be set in one line

i mean like  this

# sand

@ rock

P player

and sand replace with spice. , why this idea?  because  if ai will be in random positions you can get caught in 5 places.  but if ai will be  in  one line, you will be attacked from left and right side, not like before from up and down side.  so ai will be attacking each other before they start to hitting you

That is something I wanted to avoid. I like hard battles, and I want the AI to be a little more dangerous. My newest map (The Great Bled) will be the hardest and most difficult map in the whole world, I can assure you :D

hey wanted 2 no that can download these map and play ai on them or even better play online if so does everyone need these maps to play online im called eatallday on dune2000 and where can download them from? cheers cya hope you play dune2000 online

Where can you download them? At my first post, there is the file,called "Reactor's maps.zip". Just download it, unzip, place them at their functioning place,and activate them. I'm sure you'll like it.

Oh by the way, I'm finally done with my newest, and yet, most difficult map, the Great Bled. You thing the Cielago Basin was tough? Then you'll simply CANNOT complete this one, if you have more than 2 AI. Trust me, I tried 29 times, and only my 29th attempt was successful to destroy all AI opponents, and achieve victory. If you're new at Dune 2000, do NOT play this map! Seriously,this is the toughest map in the whole wide world! :D

The great bled

--------------

Tileset used: BloxBgbs

Size: XL (8 players)

Description: This map is very carefully constructed, and built up. Several rock areas connected to each other, there are small gaps, and lots of infantry only passages. A REAL strategic region for strategy devils! You'll need at least 1 day to complete this map, since this is the toughest, and meanest creation of mine. You were warned! :)

I'm waiting for the further comments and experiences :) I advise you to try out them with AI before you go online...
