I just thought of a problem, which is that due to most people not having scout units... People without scout units have chosen not to have scout units, so it's not a problem imho. Otherwise I would demand a ranged attack ban since I chose units with poor ranged attacks :P Well that would be very di...

I just thought of a problem, which is that due to most people not having scout units, there will probably be situations in which player 1 will have guaranteed village steals. A player using cavs for example might have a nice edge.

You could always ban village thievery before turn 5 or so.

I think I might actually have time for this.

Grunt/Adept!

Indeed Bluewater has come a long way. I think part of my gripe about this map is simply how wide it is. Oh man, I am kicking myself right now, because all this time, I thought that I'd committed a certain "newer" version of this map, like half a year or so ago. :P So imagine my surprise w...

Very well said by jb. I hope that the interest that people have shown here and in the TGT thread translates into time spent with your map editors, creating new maps and making/testing alterations to current ones. ;) I like the increased upkeep idea- My only concern being that certain matchups could ...

If there's somebody responsible for balancing 2v2 maps, I can provide a list of possible changes that can be discussed F. Technically, that is me and jb, though I haven't been interested in 2v2s for a very long time, and have more than enough work with the 1v1s (and real life :P). If you want actua...

I'm going to second this. The thing is, intelligent is usually irrelevant for bats. Almost always, bats level after their second kill. There's only a difference between intelligent and non-intelligent when the intelligent one gets one kill, and survives five other combats . It's very unlikely that t...

(although it seems to imply not to make really small maps...). That's pretty much what I was getting at. Maps this small are going to be basically impossible to balance. Sorry :( Please don't let this discourage you from mapmaking, though! Seconded. They are far from being balanced, *but,* I think ...

That is true much of the time, though not always. For a map this small though, definitely.

Yeah I did notice the changes now. Any way to have a look on the map with the changes that dealt with the chaotic rushes? The primary change was just a TOD bump. Starting TOD was morning, meaning that a chaotic rush would be cut a bit short. I think a rush was still quite doable, given the spacings...

No changes to hgbl yet on 1.9.10? Actually, there are a ton of changes. Have another look? ;) As for the TOD bump which was recently reverted, I'd say let's have people debate that on the other forum, where HGB has its own thread. When I took measures against chaotic rushes, there was quite a bit o...

As to whether or not Neki has left, I'd say let's wait a few days and see.

About doing TOC 5, yeah, I'm up for it. Let's do it after WTT wraps up.

Because a map has two parts. Easier to maintain, backup, and all that if both are there. And what if the user wants to use thos files somewhere else? He has to lookup the old map file and pair it up with the new cfg file. Messy. About a map having two parts- All you need to do is look at the file. ...

The route isn't too risky I think, not many people want to take on your leader. Besides, you need to redeploy before your opponents powerphase, if your redeploying during it then your already in trouble. If its before your opponents powerphase, then its your powerphase, so you should be pretty safe...

Hey Doc, I haven't played the map yet but I don't see the need for the micro keep. The way it is now you can traverse north to south without having even 1 turn without recruiting. In the previous set up, you had to give up just the 1 turn which doesn't seem too bad. I'd have to play it a bit to fin...
