Special Maps: Line Formation

[Chrazini]

Hello everyone.
As I currently have way too much time on my hands, I have decided that I will attempt to create a new unique map pack every single week for about 8 to 10 weeks. The size of the map pack will vary, but one thing is for sure, they will not be your typical Arabia or Black Forest maps.
Every single map pack will contain maps that, like this first submission, will contain unusual starting positions - kind of like the Special Maps on HD Edition.
This, however, means that the maps will only be playable using Userpatch and WololoKingdoms on Voobly.
To ensure variety in design and gameplay, I will be using the themes that were introduced in Escape Champions League, and I hope to at least publish one of each style in every map pack submission.

As you've already read in the title, we'll start of using a line formation to create a few unique maps. The maps are recommended to be played as 4v4, 3v3, 2v2 or 1v1. Without further ado, I present to you the very first map pack:

This is amazing, thank you

 

[Poxo]

Could you make it a mod on voobly?

 

[Qulala]

for some reason the way the maps look reminds me of some the competitive maps that are made in the aoe 3 community

 

[Nili_AoE]

Holy moly. I won't need to worry too much about maps for "Let your teammate die 2" then <3

 

[sergioponguta]

How I love your work. I hope all of your maps can be on ECL (at least 1 per event).

Thank you so much.

AMAZING MAPS , would love to see them in ECL

Thank you all so much for all your kind words. I appreciate it and I'm looking forward to releasing another map pack next week.

I love Creek, Skeleton Coast, and Soaked. Hope to see some gameplay on those soon (looking at Nili). Great job!

Hello, ZeroEmpires specced a viewer game on it yesterday:
www.twitch.tv/videos/308763258?t=05h46m50s
I timestamped the link to the beginning of the "Creek" game.

It was Regicide by mistake! Should be "Standard" normally

@Poxo
Chrazini just did a voobly workshop item with all his map <3

[paroofex]

Very Interesting. Skeleton Coast looks really cool. Let's see some expert games on it.

 

[_Mr_St4rk_]

Interesting Maps, my perception is that on those maps, it's hard to stabilish a regular Trade Line games would probably not last longer...

For Shrubbery i can totally see an Wall & FI/Sling attempt as the new Meta, would be hard to be competitive trying anything out of that

I love this, but can't download files from google drive , can u add attach files here? I want all your special maps, like here/ battleground/squad-skirmish/corner-control/besiege , or if u have more maps like this: begin with towns behind with your teammate. Thank u!

 

[HeavenlyChorus]

Thanks a lot for your work Chrazini! <3

 

[Chrazini]

Thanks for the kind comments! I love seeing people enjoying what I do.
I've done a horrible job advertising it, but you can subscribe to all my creations on the Voobly workshop using this link.
It might be a big mouthful as everything is included here - I will hopefully get around to splitting up the map packs some day.
As @nimanoe said, you can also use www.aoe2map.net to download most of my maps. I still haven't uploaded everything.

 

[Hades85]

Is it regicide compatible respectively every player start with a castle?

 

[Chrazini]

@Hades85 All my maps are regicide compatible. Depending on the map, you may have slightly different regicide starts. Sometimes a castle, a tower or nothing at all - this is intentional, however.
You also start with a hot queen Kappa

I've updated all the maps, so they live up to today's standards. I've also added two more maps to the line formation map pack.
The most important updates:

1. Heavily decreased the chance of bugged maps.
2. Removed the line of sight of birds.
3. You can now play the map in sudden death using "Low Resources".
4. Enabled the use of colour positions when playing on "Medium Resources".
5. The map can now be played with allied vision using "High Resources".
6. All straggler trees are removed when playing deathmatch.
7. All animals are removed when playing deathmatch.
8. Fixed an issue that would cause players to spawn with an incorrect amount of villagers when playing regicide.
9. Added map Snowy Crest.
10. Added map Erosion.
11. Many more map-specific changes. See individual map file for information.
