Haven o War - Unsure where to go. Opinions Appreciated.

Hi Chaps.

Some of you would be familiar with Haven of war.



Im unsure about how to go about one part of the heightmap. Suggestions would be appreciated.



Here is the map overview:









And here is the section I am interested in. I've marked the starting positions and the area of heightmap I am unsure what to do with.





So as you can see heightmap is a little different there. I am unsure whether to make a passage across the top, just have a small expansion area or just stop that player going up at all...



Please let me know what you think!







And just for completeness here is a slightly older in game screen :)



|||Just close it up



Do you have plans to change the watercolor?|||Hmmm... The 'plateau' out to the left also allows access to the top tier...



It was a suggestions from Ice-Fire on inside-supcom that I supply an upper area for building experimentals super weapons etc....



Prolly would be easy to close it then just render mountains across the entire upper section....



Havent though of changing the water... you think its out of place?|||I don't think it would be a good idea to have only 1 place go to the upper section. If you want access to build experimentals then it would be a good thing to open up another spot on the right side. This will give 2 access points where the 2 outside start locations could use the upper section.



About the water color, I do think it looks out of place since it's just a big pond and not a sea area. A desert area has lots of dust, dust that would like to mix with water. The way it is now may look nice and cool but in my opinion it is a bit out of place in a desert area.



If you want to keep the blue water, then I think it would be a nice thing to place civilian buildings and have in the Description something about civilians cleaning the water for consumption in this big natural reservoir.|||IMHO; keep the water as-is. it's a nice spot of colour that's on an otherwise quiet map.



but in other news, where's the download link? XD|||Yes, where can we download such a cool looking map ? |||LOL Thanks for the feedback guys!



Download will be from teh vault and I'll also host on filefront when it is finished.



There is still a weeks work in it I would suggest...







Paceydre thanks for the feedback, I'm still unsure how to do it but I will find a way :)



If anyone else has comments about the heightmap section in questions please share :)|||Xmall
