Thread: Protoss Colony Map (WIP)

  1. #1

    Default Protoss Colony Map (WIP)

    I have an interesting map of my own I made and it is supposed to be a Protoss Colony, of sorts, from StarCraft. I don't know how good it is, but it's a start from what I could muster up. What do you guys think?

    Yeah, I know this website, it makes great inspirational maps. And for starcraft maps, a little editing of the colors can get you any terrain, good choice !

    Same here! Amit Patel's Polygon Map Generation demo is a wonderful resource for generating landmass designs/shapes!

    I really like the shape you've generated for this. It'll look great for a sci-fi map! Looking forward to seeing how it develops.

    some of us really do know the default output of most of the generators
    -- we use them as a starting point

    and a bunch of blog posts last year were about redblob
    http://www.redblobgames.com/

    this persons work is rather good

    Oh... That explains it. I guess that makes sense I wasn't the only one who does that. Yes, I am using it as a template for a map of a Protoss Colony on a planet, pretty much part of a campaign development.

    I also took a look at your Alu'Kesh Dragonlands map and I have to say I was impressed. If you used the polygon map generator for a template and created this, I don't know how you did it, but you're doing better than me, because I don't exactly know where to find tiles for certain map making and I don't know exactly what to find to add on to a map like this, so maybe I need a little help here.

    I seriously don't know how to make legends for a map either.

    I am sorry, I read the link you posted of the blogspot article (I think) and I still don't get how "things are getting worse and worse" at the moment. Can you explain?
