My god. That map is great. We played for over 3 hours when I finally quit to eat something. They come from all sides, there's 24 pools. They hit the pools over and over, then your base. Enemy never sits for very long. I needed more than just Windy and I. Attacking their base is whacked out with statues on the mountains and one in their base. Very cool.

Nice map.

[TheJamsh]

ooo... will DL when i get the chance

[TheJamsh]

it was good to look at but the view distance made things a bit.. annoying. ranges of weapons and things looked too short etc, and my FPS was around 40 for a machine thats usually in the 300's.

Draw the view distance back to something reasonable and the fog distance as well. say...650/750?

We did good last night, was at their door with a super huge army at about one hour. But I had experimented with making the unit limit at zero (infinite) and around 110-120 units our fps was getting real bad, then around 135 units we just froze up and didn't get to attack their base. Maybe third time is a a charm.

135 units? dang! That probably would have killed me already. I've actually had problems before with setting the unit limit at zero. My comp usually freezes up about 30-40 minutes in. So i usually just set it to 100.

@TheJamsh I'm pretty sure visibilityrange is no more than 800 as my computers have never been able to go higher without skimping on some of the terrain tiles. I played with ranges anywhere from 400-800 but finally ended up near the higher end which, yeah now that you mention it that probably would start maxing out some old PCs. I do like being able to see the megas before they can shoot you though and it makes flying around much prettier IMO

That and I can watch steeveeo nukes detonate from a good distance

[TheJamsh]

lol yeh there is that...

Ditto.

Nice map though.

Since TA5, I can set visibilityRange to 1500 with no FPS drop on this map.
