(Wht)Iron Valley - 2 players

[AchromicWhite]

One more duel map to satisfy your cravings. The Iron Valley stands between you and your opponent.

It's been a while since I've seen a nice desert map. Hopefully this one plays as well as I'm hoping it will. Download below.

Had a problem with the download, that's now fixed

Looks fun

[AchromicWhite]

Yeah, I've been playing it... addicted to my own map xD

Guys, should definitely play it!

Funny story;

When Cn2mc made Fjord, I played him on his map a few times around, and beat him each time. I took this to mean I was somewhat of a superior player.

After making this I played Cn2mc again, on this map, and he beat me several times around. HAHA. Maybe we're more evenly matched than I'd previously thought.

All very good games, just by the way. And I'm very happy with the way that this map plays.

Maybe it's East <-> West unbalanced

[AchromicWhite]

IDK... haha, we were both GDI

I think the map is too small for a proper East advantage in Nod vs. Nod. Unless the West-bound player is a complete dolt and builds his strip all the way to the left, the only advantage East can potentially get is for the first unit built, i. e. for East buggies will arrive (part of) a second earlier than for West, but they will not begin to outnumber them with time due to click-lag.

[AchromicWhite]

Pretty sure I made this map full length, though. So maybe it would.

Maybe, I didn't count squares, but still, the only way you can screw up is placing your strip NW of your CY. Both of the natural spots for it, at the two entrances to your expansions, are closer to the centre.

[AchromicWhite]

True indeed.

[Nyerguds]

I was totally joking with the unbalanced comment, y'know

[AchromicWhite]

I thought you were 1/2 serious, but sure haha

Hm, as it turns out I've only got 1 of the correct files in this... the other file is the bloody bmp that I converted to be used for the preview. If someone has played me and this map and has both files, could I get it off you so that I can fix this.

(new computer, the file is on the old one... can't be bothered plugging it in).
