Lovehandles' Symmetrical Maps Workshop

[Lovehandles]

Salutations, my fellow forum-goers! Here's a small collection of existing maps I've edited to be (hopefully!) 100% symmetrical, with some additional player spawn variations for the ones that support more than 2 players. The intention is to update this thread with any new releases, supposing I ever get around to making more edits. :- )

I see what you did there with the cliff corners, but why ruin my painstakingly painted realistic tib fields by upgrading all tiles? Greedy bums... lol.

I was somewhat regretful of it initially as well, but it turns out the game itself doesn't even care. Not convinced the different Tiberium IDs (ti1-ti12) actually represent different stages of density -- seems like the game determines the density of any given Tiberium cell based on its proximity to others.

This (ti1 on the left, fill-with Tiberium on the right):

This was done with XCC Editor, for reference.

Yeah, I actually kind of knew that, but I couldn't resist commenting.
