[Map] Canyon - Secure the convoy

I am continuing my map making blog, this time i have come with:

Canyon - Secure the Convoy

This is the first time i tried to create something actually custom: custom terrain, scenery, river, etc.

Obviously inspired by the Grand Canyon area in the USA.

It’s a simple 1 point conquest with planes disabled in favour for scenery:

Currently unplayable online because of the huge navmesh size (90mb)
It works as it should in the editor though.

Feedback is welcome.

(Rename txt to blk) Here is the map:
scene.txt (676,5 kB)

You will have to generate the navmesh yourself

As usual don’t upload to sandbox site as yours

Do both sides get that many motorcycles? Motorcycle jousting???

The map itself looks pretty good though. Scenery is good, and the river with the arch is very cool. One concern being that if one side has a better tank they win because there’s no flanking or planes at all. I can see how adding caves for flanking would be a nightmare though. Only other thing is the weird placement of sandbags in the second image. Maybe it’s the angle, but I might clump them together more so it’s more natural looking.

On a second thought motorcycles may be unneccesary for this map size.

Good point

It’s not that hard really, what is difficult is to make it look not crap.

Personally, I think you should keep the motorcycles

Interesting. I like how shadows fall from one side of canyon to its bottom. As for navmesh it’s only generated around battle areas zones, so you may try to avoid placing them over mountains and etc. create many of them, but only in required areas.
