Map Battles - Suggestions

[Mr-Jigsaw]

They all seem too specific, and on a different matter, isn't Superman's fortress in the Arctic, not the Antarctic?

Back on topic, I suggest a theme where everyone should find a source photo of a real place, and then create a scene set there, but fifty years or so in the future. Sorry if this was already suggested, it's ridiculous trying to read all the previous entries.

^ my problem exactly, but luckily I've got a decent overview. Some good suggestions here on this page.

[oskutin]

How about:
Settlement/settling to/of unhabited place. It can be real or fictionary place.
It can be just ship unloading cargo in no-mans-land or just some houses.

we ever did some atlantis kinda thing, you know a representation of a mythological civilization?
olympus kinda stuff with huge statues of gods and so on...

Map using only one texture?

Map using only one texture?

Ha! see my entry to the port battle, nodraw, a white texture and water.

[joe_dirt976]

how about un-apacolyptic, 3 shots, 3 different points in time, one in the past, one after a cataclysm, and one after restoration?

Film Noir?

Film Noir?

Done before?

Here's a re-phrasal of what I suggested before:

Utopia

Map a Utopian location. It should look clean and perfect. The word utopia itself comes from no place, meaning an impossible to attain place, so your depiction of it does not have to reflect any sort of practicality or viability unless you want it to.

Next battle is up in a few days, it's not going to be Utopia, but close

Dystopia?

I'd be quite keen on that.

Wouldn't that just be default Hl2?

Just because HL2 is set in a dystopia doesn't mean every single dystopian setting in source ill be default HL2.

Think Bioshock, 1984, S.T.A.L.K.E.R (if you can call it a dystopia), Brave New world, hell even something along the lines of Nazi Germany could be seen as one.


I'd like to see a region based battle, it probably wouldn't work but it seems a good idea. By region I mean: "Southern Europe" "Eastern Europe" "Africa" etc etc, though something less generic would be nice of course.

[904]

I've got an idea or two but I'm still open to suggestions for the next battle, which will go up july 1st.
Template suggestions are welcome as well.
