Description

Each base is surrounded by small hills for protection, but not too much.

The map is large, so to get to an enemy base, you must trek through acres

of this haunted forest. You must leave someone behind to protect your base.</td>

Description

The map was designed to discourage turtling. The bases are in the corners of the map on the hills and every base has only two paths into the valley. That seems to encourage turtling, but the low amount of rice to be found on the hill and the distance to the next source of water will force the player to build a well next to his rice field and use a lot of peasants watering or to get control over one of the rice fields down in the valley. However you've got the choice between wasting a lot of units on rice and water or creating outposts.

I suggest to play the map at slow rice growth rate to encourage expansion.

<tr>

Description

A medium sized five player map centering around a river that cascades out of a mountain spring. Turtlers

won't have the easiest time because each base has 2 or three entrances, and in bases with 2, one entrance

is very large. Players in the bottom of the map are more cramped, but the two players in the top have to deal

with cliffs and hills that are great to attack from.</td>

<tr>

Description

A nice four player map which has three base entrances and high ground.

Great for allied play, this map has lots of resources to consume. Mind

your base and units rather than admiring the landscape as it may lead to

your loss. This map is shaped much like a starfish hence the name "Stargazer".

And as always, control of high ground is essential to achieve victory.</td>

Description

A fun north vs. South map separated by a river. Plenty of water and rice for

each player. Two cliffs lead into one of three openings into each base shared by

3 allies. Taking these cliffs to defend can stop enemies before they enter your

town. </td>

<tr>

Description

A semi-large dense, vegetated map filled with rolling sloping hills and a winding jungle river with several

flowing waterfalls flowing out into a delta then the sea. Mysterious stone carvings and statues of past jungle

inhabitants riddle the riverside's mud stricken banks. The player can be attacked by an opponent from all sides

any time, the heavy vegetation doesn't help you out much, try to set sections of trees on fire to clear a good

view on the outskirts of your settlement.</td>

Description

Bridge Of Woe is a 5 player Hellscape. The eastern players have more of a luxury in

deciding to cross the bridges, whereas the closeness of the 3 in the west forces

a more immediate series of confrontations. The 3 bridges provide ample strategic

routes for attacks. Players in the west are in a more tense situation, but they

have the horses. Nobody has an abundance of rice, and the northwestern player

with the only profound height advantage is cramped and suffers from the

water-is-far-away problem. The northmost bridge is quite architecturally

neutral, with a few choke points. The broad central bridge has a raised control

position in its middle, valuable fighting terrain to hold or retreat to during

an advance. The southern pathway is closest to the sulphurous ash - its surface

has crumbled and warped to the point where it is mostly only a chaotic

single-file line of death, hanging dramatically from its entranceways. Its

dangerous nature means most players need not worry about attacks mounted through

there.</td>

Description

This is a large 8-player map, usually good for LAN gaming, as playing

it on GS would definitely have lag. Each base has three entrances,

minimizing the chokepoints; there are a lot of small rice patches scattered

throughout to encourage expansion, there is just enough rice for a

single player in each base, to discourage double basing and turtling. I

have play tested this map on my LANshop and found that most of the players

gave encouraging feedback. As far as I have observed, turtling doesn't

give good results as base raids can be done with little difficulty.</td>

me first!

December 27, 2005

that bridge of woe map looks pretty cool

{Dark}WolfBite · December 27, 2005

it sucks if you play against ai.

Only thing is, I want the maps to become regular; which will never happen.

{Dark}WolfBite · December 27, 2005

How do I download them again?

December 27, 2005

hey wolfbite can ya send me those maps again in email?

Mana · December 27, 2005

How do I download them again?

1566[/snapback]

Haha, well I have to upload them still and make a real site for them, not a forum thread and bridge of woe pwns

{Dark}WolfBite · December 27, 2005

No it doesn't, I wasted 2 hours killing ai on that piece of crap map.

Buddy13 · December 27, 2005

http://www.overt-ops.com/GuildPack.exe

These maps used to be standard, because everyone loved the Guild. We rocked.

{Dark}WolfBite · December 27, 2005

Buddy, your map owns.

December 27, 2005

hey i got an idea we can reanact movies by creating maps similar to the battle fields like lord of the rings

Buddy13 · December 27, 2005

Buddy, your map owns.

1590[/snapback]

Thanks. I designed the map in about an hour. Then I spent the next day placing all the trees and rotating them, placing the ghosts and other such stuff. There's only one living tree on the whole map. Took forever.

Glad you like it.

{Dark}WolfBite · December 27, 2005

Yes, If you still play BR, I have awesome maps that own; you might want them.

Buddy13 · December 27, 2005

Yes, If you still play BR, I have awesome maps that own; you might want them.

I just got my CD drive working again, and I have the WotW disc, but I can't find the original, so I can't install. It angers me.

{Dark}WolfBite · December 28, 2005

If you know Bong's messanger, he can give it to you. Well thats what he did for us on the match to commemorate Dian and Vader. Or you can just download it.

Buddy13 · December 28, 2005

The game or the map? It's the GAME I can't install, and I won't pirate it.

Mana · December 28, 2005

Buddy this thread looks better on the black skin we have. You can choose it at the bottom. And yeah your map is awesome and all the other maps too!

{Dark}WolfBite · December 28, 2005

Hmm...I am having difficulties uploading the maps...wait a minute...I haven't tried that way yet.

Mana · December 28, 2005

Where are you uploading them to?

{Dark}WolfBite · December 28, 2005

I got them uploaded; I accidentally downloaded them into my levels folder. Then I extracted it to the folder, and I must say...

:lol: CASTLE MAP IS AWESOME!!!!! :lol:

Buddy13 · December 28, 2005

I got them uploaded; I accidentally downloaded them into my levels folder. Then I extracted it to the folder, and I must say...
:lol: CASTLE MAP IS AWESOME!!!!! :lol:

1683[/snapback]

They're *supposed* to be in your levels folder. The link I gave is just a program, not a map. You run the program, and it installs the maps for you (and opens up the list of maps).

{Dark}WolfBite · December 28, 2005

They are running, my mistake.

{Dark}KaBuKI · January 17, 2006

does not work for me when i click the link a page comes out that saids page under contrunstion

[LOT]rundown · January 17, 2006

Did someone say Castle 2?

Best map I have ever played

{Dark}WolfBite · January 17, 2006

Should I upload it? since I own the only original copy.
