[MAP] FFA or 2vs2 Map with 1 choke point for each player

from Sins Forums

This is the map i have designed:

 

Each team has 1 choke point near the star so make sure you capture that planet as fast as you can. Ive played this game on hard and the enemy builds and upgrades star bases in the choke point planet ive encountered Argonev star base with more than 15k hp and mines all over that place so i had to back out, i recommend playing this map FFA with 4 players in hard mode it will be really challenging and fun, also the artifact chance is increased to 25% to encourage exploring planets,

 To install it for rebelion copy the map and put it into my documents/my games/ironclad/sins/ galaxy forge

All i see is a 30 hr turtle fest where people refuse to quit due to w/l ratio so they just uber tank themselves and go afk... mebe coming back after work 8 hrs later to continue to uber tank themselves and hope other players quit.

if planets on outer ring (not asteroids) were all connected wuld be much better

Hey, some people like to turtle and play long games. Its clearly for them.

Like the symmetry and artifacts bit, its pretty good for a first map. But the lack of a roid or moon next to the homeworlds is pretty odd and potentially destabilizing. Also the lack of deserts and abundance of terrans is kind of odd, especially as deserts can support more logistics slots.

The reason why i made this a turtle map is so you can focus more on attacking and less on " omg he is attacking over there, now i have to move all my fleet there" and i made this map mostly for AI and yes it does take longer due to the hard AI building star bases at the 2 choke points but that is the fun, joining with someone as an ally so you can crush someone else, also i wanted to put desert planets but i tough because Terran planets support more populations which means more income with which is something you will definitely need for this map.

 

Like i said this map is really great for a casual play and even tho you can put defenses and star base at the choke point , while my fleet was attacking the enemy planet near the star a titan and around 5 capital ship and a fleet attacked my choke point near the star, i had to pull back my fleet to save it, by the time i got there my star base was destroyed and my fleet was fighting on the planet for around 30 minutes, the enemy was bringing reinforcements i was making ships eventually i destroyed the enemy titan and 2 of its battle ships and they pulled off, right after that another enemy comes in and i had to pull back in the 2nd choke point planet for repairs and to get reinforcements, well for me the map is a lot of fun. And if anyone have any suggestions how to improve it let me know i can add more planets or change the planets a bit.

Hey, any chance of re-uploading the map? The link doesn't work any more, map looks great for a free far all with AI! I also like the 1 choke scenario to put everything into...

Cheers!
