I posted an alpha version of the terrain on Bnet under Marine Arena Contest Entry v0.2 for anyone interested in poking around on the map. I am going to polish the map up and update it by the 24... happy turkey day if your in the us
I'm not going to lie, i like your design, but there is a TON of unused space, and your bases look small. you could extend the bases though.
and you should find somehow to reduce to size from 144 x 144 :P thats 150% 96 x 96 haha.
But it is really nice, and Just looking at it I could alter it to make it fit the correct dimensions. well closer anyways. You should let me do so and re-post it, and if it wins even after i alter it you can have all the reward money and the credit :P
I did extend the bases out... and as for the desert region I am adding some decorative doodads etc... I will post a picture a little bit later. I chose for there to be a lot of open spaces so that there would be room for blobs of units to roam around as well
Cool but I would try to keep doodads light, Remember he said just 1 size larger then his made it lag, yours like like 6-8 sizes larger :P. Soo i would keep it REALLY light.
Well I figure if Marine Arena is shout casted it will be a private match with individuals with beastly computers on ultra settings since lag is dependant on the users. I plan on releasing a doodad free version to him in the event the marine arena team is interested in using my layout with their own design simply to use the terrain as an alternative.
The doodads can always be removed after the contest after the primary code etc. is optimized. Depending on the out come of the contest I may publish and release the map on this web site for somebody to make an arena map.. I really want to focus on completing this melee mod that I have been working on for like a year and a half
-_- here are a couple of screenshots of the filler. For the contests sake I will leave the doodads to a minimum. More will be added pending the outcome of the actual contest. My entry will be submitted in the morning because unfortunately I learned that I have to drive all the way to South Carolina and back to take care of some business so I will have to wrap thins up tonight and simply submit what I completed. I'm looking forward to seeing the entries that others didn't post in the forums.
Thought I might as well try my hand at this. If there are too many doodads on the map I have a map without all the fancy doodads on the edges of the map.
Edit: just realized the seaweed in the third picture is odd so I fixed it in the actual map. hope there aren't any more things like that ;)

@Taintedwisp: Go
Oh I altered the game camera so in game there most of the space is out of sight... I decorated the outside walls with billboards and tarsonis walls

If it is for marine arena 3 then that can be fixed :)

Alrighty, So the contest is now closing for entries, now I will need to make sure I have all the map files you wish to enter in one place.
Please do the following.
Send me all maps and any variants of your map along with a top down view screenshot to "[email protected]"
Any entrants that do not do the following may be overlooked as I need the maps in once place.
The winner will be decided in 7 days from this post 2/12/12, I will post here with the winning map and honourable mentions of other maps.
Thank you too all the entrants, I now have a hard decision to make along with my testers that will be playing all of the maps :)
Rome.
I will be curious as to how many people send in submissions and how many maps you receive.
Here is the braxis alpha space platform kin for my map layout
