Thanks for the feedback guys! I'm trying to fix it now,and should have it fixed in a day or two.

Yeah, the yellow was the only problem I noticed.

it was a good map but its a little too yellow maybe you could chang it out with a real sand color

I'm currently hosting my new map,Seaside Cliffs,and I need a group of people to help test it!This is an open beta,so anyone can come or go as they please!

Please connect either at this url- aos://1896737634

Or alternatively connect on the Play page,the server name is Testing Map-Seaside Cliffs Beta.

Please note however that I can't keep the server open for more than a short while,and that I can't remain on the server at all times.

Unfortunately we have to wait until ben finishes "AoS: HALO Edition" :(

Imagine people having jetpacks and flying around in the sphere with laser rifles! :D

Hopefully this map will deliver what my previous map, "Hill of Caves", did not. Set on the middle of a shallow sea, this map is dominated by a towering hill riddled with numerous caverns. In addition, sea walls built on either side first used to control the tide now funnel in players to the spheres base, although clever players may chip away at the wall and use it as a valuable stepping stone or flanking position. Approximately a dozen preset towers are already set to help battle the enemy and provide a base upon which to build, although they may be torn down or expanded at will. This map largely focuses on controlling key areas of the map to stage attacks while protecting your exposed intel,but many flanking routs and the general map design can make this difficult! Enjoy!

Constructive criticism or praise is always helpful!

Thank you for the praise Lythrynyx! In practice, I found my map has a major flaw ; I only utilized 1/10th of the map! Uploading a new and vastly improved version, "Sphere Wars". If you're interested, check it out!

The carved out hills really give the Intel runners a good challenge against snipers. Hope to see it in-game.

Sorry, fixing now.

theres no dl or pictures :/

This was a map I made fairly quickly in voxed, but I think it would have great gameplay value! The aesthetics arent't the best, but they're decent, and that picture I took from a bad angle; the caves aren't just those big tunnels, they're scattered throughout the hill in 4x4 shafts. If someone could host this for me (my router is a beast to work with and refuses to be port forwarded), major props to them! As for the description...

" In the middle of a barren, muddy sea, a giant green hill looms, towering above the surrounding waves. This hill is filled with tremendous caverns, which are so numerous they have never been fully mapped out. However, two teams have gathered here, building small forts while gathering in the water, leaving their intelligence and supplies floating in the calm seas as they prepare for a push to capture the vital information the enemy posses. This map focuses largely on controlling the center hill while being able to protect your exposed spawn points and intel"

Any constructive criticism or praise is welcome.

thats better, but it still looks ugly, cept for the water, could u completely recolor it :P? i could try if u want though :P

Because I cannot edit the OP anymore, I'm posting a darker alternative here.

I recommend this version as I was in fact originally going to darken the map.

I'll probably post screenshots too when I have more time.

the colors of the map hurt my eyes :/

needs more rivers, there's only 1.999999999999998 rivers on your map. you said there's 2. there aren't.

Needs a few more rivers

im running under name two rivers

looks nice i like the greens, running on aloha us west right now

In this map there is a narrow mountain range in between two rivers separating the two teams. The blue side is mountainous and the much wider river in the green side has many islands.

This is a terrible idea.

Crossing a river in this game is dangerous enough as it is. There's no need to increase that danger to ass-tarded levels

Maybe water movement should just be a lot slower, and make your gun wet so you can't shoot from water until it dries?

EDIT: Remember the googleMod, for organised suggestion voting :) http://www.google.com/moderator/#16/e=6f3a1

If we made rivers deeper, and added the possibility of drowning.

Crossing rivers when you don't have time to build a bridge is a staple of warfare.

This is an awful idea. If you want to encourage more use of bridges having more penalties for crossing the water instead. As it is now, tunneling and stumbling across "poisonous" water isn't all that bad, just die and tunnel another way.

I think this is a cool idea, I too feel that bridges lack strategic value, and that tunneling is a cheap tactic. If water went deep enough, tunneling across the map would be gone, but tunneling would still have value. As for constructing bridges, if a crouch stopped players from falling of ledges (like in minecraft) this would work. However, I think water should only be lethal if its deep, shallow rivers should be kept non lethal.

This will be a controversial suggestion, but I think it would add a lot to the game if you make water dangerous. Meaning instant death or damage over time. Hear me out, this would:

- prevent tunnelling through the entire map: there is always bound to be a river or lake in between to stop people making one long tunnel to beneath the enemy intel for a cheap win.

- put great importance on bridges, choke points, controlling and destroying them (especially while there are people walking across).

- watchtowers, etc. have an added line of defense when built on the banks of a river/lake, so the enemy cant just walk straight across the water and effortlessly tunnel through the building's walls to siege it.

- no need to crouch jump out of the water, you're already dead

Though you'd have to make it easier to build bridges, ie some way to build them out in front of you instead of leaning over the edge to place a block down.
