Installation Blends
Why doesn't anyone ever make installation blends? Ive started 2, but never completed them, and I never see any. Is it just the fact that there hard to work with? I'll post mine, after Im done them
:payne:
... I'm pretty sure that if you would have checked through all the topics of this forum, you'd have found some 
None.
There are few possible blends in installation that are not awfully blocky. Terraining in that tileset is based on combining different sets, pre-created totalities of little ideas to make something that has a unique feel to it. In a way, it's the most limited tileset in SC. Here is a terrain-only map that has most of the not-blocky blends and sets.
None.
Yeah, Jaff, posting your own map. 
Station 7, or something of that, has great installation terrain.

My Fort Ethanios that I was planning on entering for the contest had some, but installation usually looks best just going Isometrical, but there are some blends that make it look better.
None.
But theres so many Doodads to work with, couldn't you just use those?
None.
It doesen't matter how many doodads are there, and how many tiles can we extract from those. What does matter is how blendable the whole tileset is by itself. Installation doesen't have lots of diverse/curvy lines and other shapes you can connect to eachother, that's the problem.

None.
Falkoner's Terrain compilation has 1 (or 2?) installation terrain map(s).It's really difficult and maybe impossible to make something really cool with installation.It's like the opposite of Jungle, which has the most blends.
None.

Ultraviolet -- oh yeah probably. think I misinterpreted the original message. I thought he meant moving the flag revealed the base in the sense that it opened it up to being scouted, but what you're saying makes more sense[2025-5-15. : 11:37 am]
Sie_Sayoka -- dont those ladder maps have use map settings game type? i remember in a lot of them there was display text showing the maker and other credits at the beginning[2025-5-14. : 4:42 pm]
fritfrat -- Good point.. maybe in Melee it sets off the hard-coded Capture the Flag logic when they pick up a p12 flag, revealing the SCV[2025-5-14. : 4:34 pm]
Ultraviolet -- Yeah, I forget how they do it, but they can preplace P12 units in melee / TvB maps. Maybe unit sprites[2025-5-14. : 3:38 pm]
fritfrat -- Artosis and Tasteless were chatting on an ASL cast that 6 player maps will likely never happen for competitive SC, but Artosis mentioned how there was a concept of one where a worker had to pick up a flag to get out of their base, which resulted in their base being revealed. That's not possible with Melee / Top vs Bottom settings, is it? Thought I'd ask..[2025-5-09. : 8:45 pm]
Ultraviolet -- Me too. The general concept is exciting and fun to play, or at least I enjoyed it in the previous Diplo Europe iteration.

Excalibur -- Sie is really really good and I'm glad Clans had them do the terrain for the new map. I feel like not enough of Sie's stuff will ever get used on a finished map.
