I advise against going to the prison. Those of you that logged off in there I wish you luck.

On another note. Do we get to keep our old characters or do we start new?

I like cavern kings.

Any techniques, tips or tricks would be really helpful, just how you would go about doing displacements in general. Thanks

I know I should probably get the feel of the maps first and I'm gonna do that but I wanted to hear tips from experience mappers in this game.

Anyone who's done misdeeds in the eyes of you on civthulu you can post here. Since I'm making a megathread for anyone who wants to vent about the cumbersome amount of nuisances.

Imagine a proper alternative to booster rails being long coal powered rides that are automated by the cart going over an activator rail.

Of course there should be an area of consumption for coal thrown down next to a furnace. That's about it I'm not in the right mindset today so it's a bit short.

Edit I meant when there is coal in the dispenser or some other fuel like charcoal.

Since I'm just getting into map making, I was wondering if anyone had ideas regarding the flow of the map and it's features, ideally individually for koth, payload, etc. What things would you like to see in a map that would stand out for both competitive games and casual players.

An idea of mine was terrain balancing as to not give the soldier too much advantage by taking the high ground but allowing higher positioning such as a bridge so he can jump down if he needs to.

I'm clueless how to do corridors and would like some support on how you guys like them as well.

In the cinematic intro you can see the N4 walking away from the Egyptian pyramids.

When they set up camp Russman says that the place they are going to is less than a days walk away. This of course means that resolution 1295 is located in Egypt as well as it being on the map located in Egypt (I think).

I can't think of how a cowboy town got into apart from it being teleported or moved by the rift or possibly the orbs teleporting it.

You guys got any ideas? Oh and by the way I was wondering why there is a mining site located above it so discussion for that is welcome as well.

This of course refers to the zombies. Just something I picked up in the cinematic intro which might be of importance. Feel free to add more broken arrow discussion if there is anything of importance regarding it.

Edit: My bad, worked for.
