Looks cool, downloading...

Well, right now I am playing a game/testing with megaglest beta and this map and indians...accept the Indians don't do anything...but coincidentally the particles work now...
I'm finishing up the game. ::)
Then I'll upload the videos.
-
Yah, the Indians use-to do stuff and now they don't.
-
Yeah, at least I was able to record the particles/ see them. :)
They are awesome.
But the game was so-so. :-\

Yah, just look they are bad...

I can't help with the megaglest beta build.
Here's what I need to know:
Are units getting stuck? If yes, from which player starting point?
Does the map look good? Not looking at the screenshot! (arg!) we don't play glest/GAE at maxcameradistance!
With this in mind - do the earthen bridges look nice? what about the sloping paths near water? Are the hills ok? what about the new path from player start location1?
If the in-game map features look like crap - then tell me. Don't be afraid to make negative comments.
-
Oh, the map is nice, I had to make another "HQ" near the gold though. That's my preference...
I was just not sure what caused the problem...either my compiling,megaglest,indians, your map, etc...
But the map is nice. :)

You moved the headquarters closer to the gold resource harvest location? You did this to get an advantage over the AI players and thus tech and expand more quickly, right? ( thats fine, just making sure)
Note: I did place the resources and HQ a good distance from each other and yes, its bloody hard to ramp up the economy - especially when the AI is rushing.
megaglest build 3.2.3
Here's how I setup the map.
player1: AI set to mega and allied with me - Norsemen
player2: AI set to ultra and allied to AI 4 - Indian
player3: Me - Magic
player4: AI set to ultra and allied to AI 2 - Tech or Egypt ( the Egyptian aoe units are brutal on this map)
Tech as fast as possible, immediately send a worker to ally base and build a HQ in a corner at their camp ( produce golems/tower of souls and battlemage for ally camp defense. Build a mage tower - Archmage units can wipe out/devastate enemy units in the hallways and on the bridge entries and exits. Hope!
RTS is a great game format but I really kinda suck at it. If I can win, so can you!

Yes, sorry I'm rushing with everything. I'm multitasking right now. ::) :P
Cool setup, I'll have to try that later. It's just that the Indians didn't work... So I could not really test out the map. :( :-\

Rushing is an RTS term for early-game player/AI attacks.

Northwest player1 ally start location: battle on the western approach to the earthen bridge. Tech enemy catapult just destroyed AI ally building.
-
Yep.
One thing I don't understand... why is the building so far away from the base? ::) :P
-
The AI Norseman ally is expanding - building a new castle and two other buildings (one was destroyed) next to the resource harvesting location.

I see, I just got confused because you said

Oh yeah, which tileset are you using? wait...
