Hitech this is the general layout of what I envision the layout to be. Trying to keep both sides equal in the number of bases. Putting HQ on the main land masses and strat targets accross the map. Sea ports would be on the main land and larger islands.

Your close, but start looking at current map distance between fields, now look at yours. Also don't forget about makeing a few strat zones per country.

Cage, love your concept. One comment from me though. You know how most of the smaller MA maps have a 'winner corner' and a 'reset corner'?

From your last image It looks like NW has the advantage with a more compact home island, making defence of the whole land mass easier while the other 2 home islands are slightly longer and thinner. Makes defence more spead out.

Also look at the distances between all of the main land masses. The NW has quiet a lot of water between it and the other two islands. The NE and S island have only around 4-5 sectors at their closest point.

It's really hard to fit 3 sides equally onto a map which is square. I just feel the balance is slightly too much in favour of NW at the moment. Sort of like the West side on Mindinoa or the North side on NDisles which very very rarely get reset. Gut feeling is that S would end up as 'reset corner' and NW as 'winner corner'.

I like everything else. Good luck

thecage ... sry bud i know so little about the editor...

i put my idea out there as a starting point for HTC to review.... then if he said go ahead i would learn it LOL (secretly we JB's were hoping somone would help out with it ... tiles and all

)

+ i have so little precious time that starting to learn it from scratch just to put an idea out there is kinda low on my priorities

oh well <~~> and ty for liking it !~~

Maybe Freeze, but it could also mean. 'Tough poop Nuttz, NB went ahead and did all the tiles himself.'

Still means we get a new terrain

(keeping fingers crossed)

HT needs to phone Nuttz or Nuttz needs to phone HT and get that damn Coffee map done ASAP IMHO. The more maps for MA play the better and that one looks better than any of the current ones, (again IMHO).
