For me its feudal war purly for its success. Makes it worth the work it went throught.

oh i forgot to say i'm most proud of Age of Merchants because it was my very first map and because it brought a new perspective on the game by introducing non-classic bonuses based on resources and transportation

I would have to go with AOM too... as the XML for that is far more complex than much of the new stuff...

But the thing I'm most proud of on CC - is getting the XML modified so that it is simple and extensible over and above what it was when I came here. (That & BOB of course!)

Well, I've got two maps I could pick (hopefully soon it'll be four).

I'd pick Caribbean Islands because it was my first (sounds dirty). Also, I like the gameplay on it a bit more than SA.

I'd be interested to see which maps Cairnswk and WidowMakers pick.

Duck and Cover... there aren't enough silly maps around here.

by **cairnswk** on Wed Apr 09, 2008 1:18 pm

I'd have to go with Cairns Coral coast....'twas my first, not neccessarily the most arduous or difficult to produce graphically, but simply the learning process alone made it all worthwhile...i had to battle with Keyogi that the map would be relevant....and it has proven (only because of classic gameplay i believe) to be the most enjoyed.

This would have to be followed by Pearl Harbor....'coz of all the bitching and stuff it caused over bonuses Hehehehe!

I'd say it was Waterloo for you - that map is the most original on the site.

It's worth it just for the name! But I have an equally silly map idea that I will spring on you all in a couple of months, when i have more time.

Supermax, Iraq, and Arms Race are my favorite because I think they will be loads of fun, or total flops. Just waiting on some quenching action, and yeti_c.

I refute this - Iraq is awaiting an XML check!?!?!

King of the Mountains - It was my first map, I learned a lot about everything (foundry, photoshop, taking criticism, etc) and I like the game play

and

IndoChina - Graphics. It was really fun doing that map. Really worked out most in illustrator and learned a lot plus I enjoyed the art style
