new maps?

So ... I don't think that you would get any takers that would invest that amount of time and energy to entertain the possibilty of the map NEVER being used.

Did I get it right Zaz ?

I know people who made maps and although they spent a fair amount of time on them it was nothing near what you overstated.  Look at the skinners, they spends all kinds of time on those.  If HTC offered up 4 months of free service to the winner or even just ran a contest once a month I bet there would be enough to keep it going every month.  Nothing will happen at all though without HTC taking some leadership.  It's not my company but if it was I would be focussed on my bread and butter instead of pie in the sky.  The MA is what keeps HTC a solvent company and it seems to be generally neglected in some major areas.

I have a map I've worked on for well over 200 hrs total so far, it's not even vaguely close to being done. I doubt I'll ever finish it, it's like a root canal without local anaesthetic that never ends. You go ahead and try it for yourself...

Slappy I'm impressed! Are you a Three Dog Night Fan or do you actually know something about Eastern Philosophical Mysticism?

Long ago I enjoyed the map with three large "homelands" with hundreds of small islands inbetween them.

I was a HUGE Three Dog Night fan (I am old enough) and I have a double-PhD in Eastern Philosophical Mysticism ... ;)

What ever happened to the new map builder?  Wasn't there supposed to be all sorts of new map tiles and objects?

i started a concept of an MA map long long ago... put in weeks of planing a layout for optimal gameplay... showed it to the community here, not much reaction. sent it into HTC, no real response of "go ahead" brought it back into the limelight with some revisions about 14-16 months ago. same deal. since i have had absoultly zero luck figuring out the TE i gave up. there were people on the forum helping in the TE forum, but their lingo was way too "complicated" for me. it sounded like i was programming something, not artistically making a map.

Actually, my meds control my OCD just fine, it's just my wife won't let me quit my job to make maps for AH. :cry

Yup, on a user friendly scale of 1  to 10 the TE is a generous negative 1,987,506...
