Actually I did, both Shrubs and Wetlands are almost direct copies from maps in Supreme Commander FA. Kasyr is loosely based on a map from Dawn of War Soulstorm.stucuk wrote:Have you thought about looking at multiplayer maps from other games and copying their "footprint"? Total Annihilation had some good map designs for example (Granted alot won't work as there are no ships or air transports in OW). There are also some good ones from CNC games.
There is quite a lot of maps in Throwback now. To come up with a good map can be hard, but actually making it in editor is easy. Making GBI for it is easy too, once you get a hang of it, but it's a long and mundane work.
I personally really like more asymmetrical maps like River of Lost Souls, but pulling off something similar is really difficult. That's why in RTS titles you find almost exclusively symmetrical maps.
