if im bored, i may join. too rusty to win tho
i got extremely discouraged from playing when chopstyx dodged the $$ 1v1 making random excuses for 2 weeks. not only it is hard to get a team game going when its suitable for me, but apparently its even harder to arrange a skirmish. cyka blyat
New topic about the new map. I will make some new posts about it soon...

Server.War2.ru / Updated Chop Farms map
« on: May 24, 2017, 08:24:05 AM »
I made som changes to the default Chop Farms map.
- There is walls around every players farms (before it didn't fit)
- Even if you destroy walls you can't pass, "invisible walls". You can get around by chopping one wood though. This can't be removed because it would affect regular game play to much.
- More lumber in bank from start.
- Renamed the nap to [year] and a "+" for every new major version. To avoid map dis conflicts.
- In the latest update i moved position of four mines. Mine at 12 and 1 are moved closer to middle and slightly to the left. Mines at 6 and 7 are moved in the same way, but to slightly to the right.
The main reason for moving the mines is to make it possible to mine in all positions with "power mining", with no awkward spaces in you'r build placements. I think now it is also more balanced in how much time it takes to chop and build a power mine hall between all spawns. One down side I found is that 12 and 6 gets little bit tight if you build hall facing the wrong way. But i think it is just because you're not used to the new layout. When people get to play it they will find ways to place the buildings in good positions.
I would like to make a complete mirrored chop farms version, where every spawn only gets one mine and the mine is in the corner. After working with the map for a while I start to question the layout more and more of the default chop map. I don't know if that big of a change would be bad for the gameplay, but I'm having a hard time to understand why it wouldn't be a good thing. I will make the completely new map layout so players can compare and say what they think is good and not.
I will make a new reply to this post with screenshots to show the different layouts. Anyone knows a good program to save good screenshots of maps? Not just the thumbnail of the map viewer...
Be aware that some features will stop working if you open the map and saves it in the regular map editor.
*Edit I found happened to upload wrong version somehow* i remove this one and upload the new soon... T_T OK now the correct version is attached. Someone dl'ed the wrong one, please remove it... zzz

« on: May 23, 2017, 02:27:13 AM »I have never heard of a new mini chop map. But as a former avid chop player, I'm curious. Intel please? Is there a place to dl it?
I made a post in the maps section on this forum. It's a bummer they made that section, because almost nobody will see those posts... I haven't uploaded the latest version though, so wait a little and i can upload it here on the forum.

Cartography & Custom Maps / Chop Farms [2017]
« on: May 05, 2017, 05:19:29 PM »
Ok, i made a new Chop Farms version. With walls surrounding every players farms. I also made it not possible to cross the walls even after they destroyed. This is to prevent easy run around in 1s, 2s, 3s games... I also increased wood amount from start, since it's so annoying running out of wood in a long game.
Hope you guys like it I hope it works as I thought...

Would be cool with a map pool with some good classics bne maps and some new bne style maps. For example my new made Twisted Meadows map, would be very cool. 
Give the opportunity for the community to find out and practice some new maps. Also give the opportunity for new maps to be developed
