Title: map orlog
Post by: atze on 28 December 2012, 01:23:28
Here is a map I made a while ago, Titi they liked  :) , so I put in here this time. It is a 64x64 map for 2-4 players.

Map looks like it might be fun, however I'm not sure you can make a map for a game using the games editor and release it under a different licence than the game is under...

Blender is GPL. You can release the models you make under any license. Same with the map editor. Plenty of maps are CC0, which is basically public domain and the best license you could give your mod, if you're willing to sacrifice credit. That's followed by CC-BY (give credit, but do whatever you want), then CC-BY-SA (give credit and license modifications under a compatible license), then CC-BY-NC-SA (same as CC-BY-SA, but must be non-commercial, though the definition of non-commercial is controversial, so this is not recommended for Glest mods).

At any rate, nice map.

I already played this map a lot! Maybe 12 hours or more I was fighting on this in coop games now and I really like it a lot!

A setup that I suggest for good players:

slot1 human indian
slot2 human indian
slot3 Persian CPU-Mega
slot4 Norsemen CPU-Ultra

Normal players should choose 2 Ultras and MG-gods should set two Megas. I played with Derek vs 2 Megas and it was really really hard!

What is so fun about this map?
The CPU does very different things! SOmetimes it explores everything and it finds your extensions. SOmetimes it attacks from left sometimes from right. You should really try it ( especially in coop ).

( About the license: People can release maps with every license they want to! A map is made with the map editor which is under GPL, but this does not effect the result in any way! Even commercial and very propreitary licenses are allowed for maps! I really appreciate that someone releases this stuff with nearly the most free license out there CC0 ! )
