CCCIII: Lonely Paradise [5]
Mevitar's entry: 5th Place



Detail: LoL. Just. LoL. The first time I glanced through this map, I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. The second time, well, there is a valid reason for the maps name. It is difficult to create such a map along with some excellent detailing work, but it has been done. Great usage of LAT's and cliff-work and of course, some extra points for creativity. Only thing that bothered me was repetetive shores here and there, but otherwise: Woo.

8/10

Layout: Again, if a maps intention is to look like something overhead, then it can be hard to also create a good layout for the map, but it has been done well here. The maps layout appeares to be a 1 VS 4 scenario due-to the Yuri Statue placement but because of the various routes and chokepoints, it can work in many other options.

8/10

Lighting: The lighting is... vibrant in places, which spoils it a little bit for me. Globally it's nice, and while I appreciate the attention to detail around the ore and gems, it is simply too vibrant in places, however, again, I assume it has been done intentionally to emphasize the shape of the map itself

6/10

Gameplay: The maps gameplay takes advantage of giving the players pre-placed structures and reinforcements (Player at A, at least). I like this in a map, only if it is done sensibly and for the most part, if this is a one vs all game, then yes, it's good.
There is a very wide selection of structures to capture around the map which adds to the tactical opportunities. For the most part, I had good fun on this one.

8/10

Triggers/Effects: As mentioned above, The map takes advantage of giving players some pre-placed sturctures, but other than that, the map lacks much else in terms of triggers or effects. Sound effects can really help to add atmosphere to a map, it's a shame there weren't any added to this one. Still, the triggers added an extra bit of fun-factor to this map.

4/10


Overall - 34/50

If there was a score for minimap creativity, you'd have scored 10/10. The map is a fun one to play and a pretty (and humerous) one to look at. The lighting and lack of atmospheric triggers have had the biggest effect on lowering your overall score, but non-the-less, another great map to play!

I didn't even notice at first, but I did wonder why the shape of the island was so funky. Laughing

I didn't win. Sad
Nobody likes me. Sad
Forever alone. Sad

BTW, I actually made an update of this map. Mostly balance stuff. Wouldn't make me win anyway. #Tongue

  • added two entrances to the top player
  • moved one statue to better protect one new entrance
  • made some more build space for all players, especially the top one
  • lowered Lonely Mastermind's spawn delay from 750 to 600
  • changed ownership of 4 top derricks to player 1
  • reduced the lighting of some lighting posts a bit

The map is awesome, stop being silly! #Tongue But honestly, the lighting is what killed it for me the most. Good job on the update.

I like this map. We already used it in our previous Mental Omega stream of last wednesday and I do expect to see it more often.
Very nice job, Mev!

And another balance update. I thought the last change was enough, but it still proved to be difficult for the top player to defend miners in early phase of the game, so i made additional changes.
Some might be annoyed that i'm changing it again, but i want my maps to be balanced, and since i changed it for my mod, i might as well post it for everybody else. #Tongue

  • Lonely Player gets an additional Tech Powerplant (so less worries about power)
  • you can now build stuff near the Tech Powerplants (so you don't have to basewalk that much - of course you can still add more structures if you think that's not enough for your mod #Tongue )
  • moved some structures to make miners easier to defend for the Lonely Player
