Bim's Fortwars- NEW ModTer Map (Built by Sos339)

[matthewbim11]

Update: ENTIRE new map built by Sos! This one features all bodies of water connected at some point, many pointier mountains, different colors and a noob-friendly(er?) spawn! He couldn't add as many caves this time, but the one he did is very well made (and huge!). The old caves in the old map were bad (flat topped and bottomed), so think of it as an improvement.

Old information:

I'd like to start off by saying that Sos339 (BLID 5200) built this entire map brick by brick. All I did was half of the spawn and all of the events. He is my best friend and co-host, but that is besides the point.

This is the ModTer map which I host my Fortwars server in. I recently painted it white for a fresh new look because when it was green for half a year and it got boring. This is V3 or 4 of the map, many revisions based off a enclosed cube wall build and terrain for the players to frolic in.

It features many hills, caves and lakes.

Here it the main pictures.

I decided to post this because I was reading about people stealing builds and someone threatened to save the map and host with it, but I perma'd him right when he said that (This was a while ago). There are credit marks everywhere in the map as well, so if anyone did steal it, they couldn't claim it.

Bad starting buildings
Horrible texture choice (USE DEFAULT RAMP PRINT)
HORRIBLE BORDER WALLS!!!
Nice scale and layout, looks fun. Are you using a specific mod for this?

The terrain itself is quite nice, but looks very uninterstingly coloured...

Perhaps have it change with certain heights? Ground level could be grass, and as you go up the mountain it gets darker, and rockier etc..

otherwise, there doesn't seem to be a lot of cover on offer in the hills.

[matthewbim11]

There are no starter buildings, I took this picture after I built my base and someone else joined. Stud is bad texture choice? Nah, ramp print is. Doesn't look natural. The walls are 64x cubes to save on brick count because the map is immense. What do you mean by cover in the hills? The different colors is a good idea, I'll talk it over with Sos.

the brick texture print is definitely the worst texture. It looks horrendous and the shadows dont match up.
Ramp print looks really nice as its not smooth but still holds a literal texture to it.

This was stolen from and old server I used to join.

I reconized it right away.

This is the old server, sorry.

[matthewbim11]

That's funny, because I watched Sos build it by hand. This map is 100% built by Sos, based off the walls I made for a slate map.

I don't even...
My name is hidden everywhere, along with earlier versions of the map...
You probably stole it if anyone has stolen it.

New map built, updated OP (bump)

Terrain looks pretty nice, but the spawn is kinda ew.

[matthewbim11]

The old spawn was worse. I wanted an open view of the entire map instead of making people feel trapped from the windows. It does have invisible barriers however.

Needs more nationalists capturing Poland.

I really like the new map. How big is it? Have you considered releasing the terrain so people can do whatever they want with it? we really need some large scale released modter maps like what slopes was in the olden days.

Thought about it, but decided not to due to people whom enjoy claiming things as their own.

I dont see why this is such a massive deal. You know you made it, if you release it you have a topic, and it's also very easy to hide your name in the build somewhere.

I release stuff I make all the time and i've yet to see anyone claim they made it, dispite seeing it run on 6+ servers. Plus, terrain isn't exactly a massive thing to steal. If you were afraid of people taking your build then you'd do better just not hosting it because people will just save it. If you run that risk, you may as well release it.
