Months ago, I made a symmertrical, custom 5-v-5 map intended for clan matches called Red Crush, but I would need to do whatever needs to be done to older maps so that they can run under v1.16 and/or Entrenchment.

All in all, I've released three 3v3 maps (Asteroid Belt, Gateway to Paradise, and Ring of Risk) and one 5v5 map, Red Crush.  However, as of this time you can't load them onto Sins 1.16 or Entrenchment.  Making them playable for 1.16 or Entrenchment might be as simple as chaning the version number to 3 in the map text files.

Here's a link to a single file containing the four maps (with Asteroid Belt shown for the screenshot):

Here's a link to Red Crush, with the screenshot showing the map:

As you can see, Red Crush is a "fight for the middle" type of map and not a "stab them in the back" map.  It doesn't have any neutral extractor spots, but as I look at the screenshot, I can already contemplate the types of early-game strategic issues it might raise.

To the best of my knowledge, the Red Crush map has NEVER been played in an online game by anybody.  (It's hard getting 9 other people to download a map and then figure out how to add it to the game.)  The 3-v-3 maps have been played a couple times, but only once or twice by DT people and that was ages ago, before v.1.1 was released.

That's really nice map.

with entrenchment I would advise against a map that has a choke point

what, 5 SB chokepoint not intresing you, jj?

EVERYONE will play Vassari so

1) Your SB can move

2) They can take down the non-vassari SB

As I think about Red Crush in an Entenchment context, the battle for the chokepoints might make it a very interesting game.

whip choke points would drag the game out for hours

Frist to nova wins

even so, with sb's ensuring no colo is possible, and chokepoints where i promise micro trumps anything, the clean up could take 2 hours

my point has been made by bronze

choke point =D 10 jump inhibibs, 5+ eggs with grav bomb, 5 moveing SB and ungodly #s of flak, righters, overseers, and repairs oh dear lord the thought has made me crap myself and spooge myself at the same time.

lol wow

Have we set a time for this yet?

No not yet, we have a meeting this Thursday at 7:00PM (est US) maybe you can send a member or 2 to come to our meeting so we can discuss it?

Send Siddy

That would just end in a Homo/Faggot slap fest with Siddy around.  Is the meeting in ICO?  I will try to be there.

ill be there

And then they kostura to your hw... ah crap!

Grtz,
[_]-Flipkik

personally i'd like the game closer to balanced b4 a match like this can be made official... but since that'll not happen for a while... why not

map should be pre-set   no randoms 2 prevent lame planet distribution   lame militia and extr setup will remain problem

this is going to be one well-loved replay though.....   one wich i'll never look at for the right reasons....

so why do the 2 only (only active anyways) clans bother with a struggle for first place :/? both dont deserve the spot

+ both clans having a high jerk-%

"Siddy cranking up DT's jerk % ALOT   "

Who will be playing on each side?

5 players [_]..... who?

5 players DT..... who?

imho.... DT will fail,  simply becuase ive played with and against quite a few DT members, wich failed epicly (and blamed me 4 it afterwards meh  hehe)

only played a couple (as in 2 at once) of [_] jerks...  wich seemed to know the basics + advanced play......   ok i guess

(let's start the flaming....)

dude most DT are good players that is MOST there are exeptions

[_] have good team play and some good members ie rebo, greyfox, and flip

Really?  You don't say.

ALso, I think DT's lineup would probably be Tyr, How, P5yy, JJ, and whoever else.

For BIA, I have no idea.

It was played and DT won a 3v3 is there going to be a 5v5?

Hey whats up people just want to know when this match will be on it will mostly likely be the last sins game i get to see in a while so on the mettine on thursday can some post up here so I can see. it will be a while fro me to start playing sins again and i will probly be maybe a little on this weekbut thats its.

And also won last thing i been hearing that its hard fro the guys in dt or bia to plays as a team do to the reson the game might look stack so the days that i will be on if DT or BIA need pratice playing as a team ill make the sacfrice of playing u guys with with bia brother being in the same team same fro DT i round up players fro yours guys partice to play as a team tho this will be hard to do but i can make it happen will anyway later good hunting

KingDante

oh yeah almost frogot if u guys need map i can make them fro you guys and make it entrenchment compaltible just tell how u want the map set and i see what i can do

And befro i go i like to give DT and BIA a warning i dont Know anyone notice that i been playing as tec or vasari and it rear fro one of you guys to see me play as advent and the days u have seen me u have to know i havent gone all out with them thanks to howthe and berz as i whatch them expand and now i have learn to increse my expansion much faster than what it use to be.

So when i have stack a team to go againt DT or BIA hope i am not next to you i will show no mercy this time
