recoil56 Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Number of players: 2 Dimensions: 59x59 (true-centered map) Hello guys! This is my second map that I have released under the icCup tag. This time it is a 2 player map that features two different entrances to your base. There are two things I wanted to address with this map: 1. Nod suffers no positional disadvantage on this map, since both positions are equally distanced from the right side of the screen. This was a big concern for me and I think that it might have been a reason bottom-left NOD players delayed airstrip tech for so long, rather relying on Apache or pure infantry openings. Hopefully NOD players are rejoicing 2. There are two tiberium fields on above and below your base, and there are additional tiberium fields to the left and right. I wanted to encourage players to pick a side of the map to develop, and hopefully this can influence the long term strategies. Should you go for a slightly larger, further away tiberium field or a closer one? Players will have to decide based on their openings (and opening aggression for that matter). 3. Some may argue that a impassable center forces base-trades in unnatural scenarios. However, I feel like C&C maps are so small that this is a non-issue; in fact, it actually slows down early aggression and scouting, so defense is a viable tactic. 4. The last thing I wanted to address with this layout is the lack of "center control" since there are essentially two centers. My former map was plagued with expanding to the center and getting a foothold in 1v1, thus forcing your opponent to have a hard time expanding, without going all-in. If you controlled the center, you controlled the money. Hopefully this map will give both players a chance for a comeback potential. Please Enjoy! Leave Comments Below!
