Emperor Dracula's, Epic series maps. Not just maps, entire living worlds... Author's Name: Emperor Dracula E-Mail Address: EmperorDracula@yahoo.com Author's ICQ: 25269716 Name of Map: Epic Islands V1 Primary Map Type: Lush, definitly. Secondary Map Type: Water, sorta. Size of Map: Zipped: 15.8MB Unzipped: 15.8MB Memory Used: 128MB Map Size: 63 X 63 Maximum Number of Players: 10 Tested: For several days. :P Tools Used: Annihilator 1.5, Bryce 3D, PaintShop Pro 5. Known Bugs: Tell an airplane to fly across the whole map and he may go backwards. This is apparently a problem with the main game engine. I don't think unit AI was optimized for pathfinding on insanely large maps. OOC: Simply put, building this map has been my life for the past couple months. Every tile, tree, and peice of eye candy was carefully planned and moved until ideal. This has nearly driven me nuts. I love insanely huge maps because they are like having a real world war. Not like smaller maps that are like a single rushed battle. In truth this map is not finished. Or at least what I would call finished. It would take a few more months to reach perfection. I'll release future versions. Contact me if you have ideas. But future releases are some time off. And I figured out how to hack things for it a couple months ago that will blow your minds. Secrets for now though... Also, I should say that 128MB RAM is not really enough. It might work if you have an effeceint machine, but 256MB barely cuts it for games with 10 AIs. And how else could you play a game with this much space? You could turn on fog of war and play hide and seek with radar jammed planes... I decided to have all start locations seperate so all places would be equal. I made many bays for protected harbors and many valleys in the mountains to hole up in. Also, just when you think you can hold off the AI forever, HE'LL KICK YOUR TEETH DOWN YOUR THROAT WITH A NASTY SURPRISE! TRUST ME! IT WORKED ON THE JAPS! HA HA HA HA HA! Story: The alien beacon has been secured and brought back to base camp. Now it's time for you to mop up. All enemy forces must be annihilated so an archelogical dig can commence. All alien technology must be uncovered for new weapons developement. Do not fail us commander. This technology could allow us to completely outclass the enemy and assure total victory. OUT...
