SWR Productions Forum _ Custom Maps _ Jakato's Skirmish Map Collection

Posted by: Jakato 9 Jan 2018, 21:27

Over the last month I've been making 4 player skirmish maps for RotR. They were for my own amusement but I thought I'd share them in case other people can enjoy them too.

Most of the maps focus the tech buildings in the center of the map because I love the battles you can get (when your AI ally doesn't rush the tech buildings and get them blown to pieces early on). In my experience there is not much of a "Take the Middle or Die" crisis when playing with AI. Generally it's more a case of "take the middle when you feel like it, then prepare to face everything the AI has got!".

All the maps are derived from the same template so don't expect much variety in how the players are set up. Each player has a supply dock for their base and there are supply warehouses to fight over outside the bases.

The maps have been played in 2v2 mode so they are tweaked for that.

The map info is in a text file with the maps. You can see the map previews here https://drive.google.com/file/d/1M71zqOpB-fCIwSLl5tbgXabJMtSd0jao/view. You can download the maps at https://drive.google.com/file/d/1A-iymuwa6dPrjd_f7tcn9SSKRJAM-jtL/view

Note that I included the Template map on purpose in case you want to use it for your own maps.

I know this might be alot of work but please post screenshots or at least the lobby screen that shows where the player starts, supplies, tech buildings are alongside the names of the maps on this thread so we have a decent preview before downloading it.

How do you edit or delete a topic/post?

Posted by: clarissemcclellan 10 Jan 2018, 12:35

you can only do this for a few (15?) minutes after the initial posting, i think.

I can ask the Moderators to delete this post so feel free to create a new one if you like.

Well I contacted XAttus and they said the edit button was at the bottom right. I sent them proof I don't have a edit button.

I think I'll ask the moderators myself since I'm already talking to one of them about the issue.

Or do moderators tend to ignore the requests of users to delete topics they created?

or you could just ask a mod to edit your post for you with the info u want.
