Ah, this is also great for me. I wanted a collection of mods, map, and tilesets. Now using what I have from the board (prev collections) I can now do this part of the Glest Guide without internet hassle. Thanks DeathRun!

there are hundrets of maps not posted here ^^
But it doesn't matter. Maybee someone could make "map-packages" sorted by "themes" (for example: river, forest, mountains, big, small ... ... ...^^ )

@deathrun:
Thank you very much!

You know, thats a good idea... Hmm. I should give this some thought...

*thinks for 0.012 seconds*

Ok, everyone who has a map(s), email or PM it to me (prefered that multiple maps are in archives). At the end of april, I'll take every map that I've found, sort them, give them an index page, and then post for upload.

So, lets start here. Anyone who knows a map, has a map, made a map, will make a map, etc; give me a shout!

As it is written, 'one shall not worship false idols', and 'though shall not accept the praise of a god'. So no, but I'll get the maps compiled together in a folder.

I've decided to release it with the new version of the Glest Guide, which should be (hopefully) done by may. Just in time to get back on track for military!

Will you also review them ( a bit )?
There are a lot of things you can make wrong in a map, especially for the AI.
A rating would be really nice, but its hard work, I know ...
Try Megaglest! Improved Engine / New factions / New tilesets / New maps / New scenarios

First: we could make a thread and post the maps we found.
Second: When we have a list of maps, we could split it in some parts and everyone who supports omega with the rewievs (I volunter) will work on his part.
We need some criteria what to rate, what to write and of course: screenshots.
It wouldn't be too bad if someo more people join the project ;-)

And btw: I thing it would be better having a website instead a package you need to download.

Ok I agree ^^


Addition:
Because the ownership of the maps:
I don't believe we need the agreement of the creators,
cause if they post their maps here why they should be against such a "map-download-page" ??? ^^

I'm all for an online version, since I don't want to pack a bunch of webpage files into a zip for people. However, there should also be a zip folder that can be downloaded with all the maps in them, but no reviews, for the people who read the stuff online, but don't want to download individual maps (who would???). BTW: Somebody else would have to manage images, because as many may know, GAE is not an option for me.

First: we could make a thread and post the maps we found.
What's wrong with right here? The topic name works, and there is a list in the first post.

everyone who supports omega with the rewievs (I volunter) will work on his part.
We need some criteria what to rate, what to write and of course: screenshots.
I was think of going simple. Very very simple. If you have one of the maps, play it, write a short 1 paragraph review on it, then rate it.

Sample criteria:
-AI (How well can the AI navigate the map?)
-Size (does it take too long to get to the other side of the map?)
-Resources (well placed?)
-Paths (organized, straightforward?)
-Bases (organized, placed to be equal for all players, etc;)
-Obstacles (don't make moving too hard for large units, are not in the way, etc;)
-Maps don't appear empty, objects scattered well, in a natural looking pattern
-maps are FUN to play!!!

*Yes, I'm not really good at writing criteria, but this is just a sample.

The new version of the Glest Guide is full php (note that it won't be out until beginning of may, maybe by the end of the month), and has a Mod Download Center, which has most factions, tech trees, scenarios, and tilesets available to download, along with a PHP driven rating system (I *heart* file function). It also has a forums board, and more. I'll spread out a user rating system, although it might not be 100% trust worthy since it will allow anonymous rating, and map designers may try to boost their own map's ratings. So I guess I can do the same thing I did with the Mod Download Center and put an editor's rating as well (oops, you don't know about that yet! It's simular to download.com's ratings, though it just says the ratings [ie: 4.5] rather than having stars. Figured I'd save myself twenty minutes of code.

The Map page is done, the glest guide is done, however, I just remembered Glest's download page, so I must go get the maps from there that I may have missed. I hope to upload this ASAP, the next time I'm at school with ten minutes to spare (tomorrow???).

FEATURES:
-PHP driven rating system, with an editors rating (mine) and a viewers rating (that's you all). Anyone can rate, and there is no restrictions. If it gets abused though, I will have to limit IP (this will slow down everyone's computer as it loads a large list of IPs, as well as be very bad for those who share computers).
-PHP driven reviews, which anyone can add, and are seen on a review page. It is subject to the same criteria as above, although this time, if it is abused, every review must be hand processed by me, which can add up to weeks of wait times. Just a warning on proper posting!
-Ways to submit maps (via custom Glest Guide forums, with less restrictions [Moderators needed!]).
-Huge lists of maps. I am writing this before I collect the download page's maps, and there is already 27 accepted maps (maps need to have a certain level of seriousness). I tested and reviewed every one. Boy, am I tired after that night.

**I play football, do Track, and am on the SRC, all which have been active lately, so please exuse any delays.**
