It's been a good 12 years since I made a RA2 map! This is actually a map I started to make way back when, but at the time my ideas couldn't really be used as they would have caused lag on the window XP machines and it was too big to transfer back then.
This is a large 4v4 (left v right) urban map created for online play. Each starting point on each side offers something different - as all good maps should. There are limited resources at the starting points so a fight within the city for resources will break out.
The map has plenty of bells and whistles but I didn't want any of it to be overly distracting. Map starts at noon but the sun will set and the lamposts will turn on to create a city ambience. There are even some flickering lamposts about because hey no city is perfect and who has the money for the engineers these days? The day/night cycle will then continue as the days of battle go by. Drawn out battles may also see naval warfare.
The map looks bright below because the renderer takes the snap with the posts on during noon. Don't worry your eyes won't be seared like the image suggests.
