Hey all, I have a question about which one out of the three pictures I have posted you would prefer for my UMS map.

But before you make a judgement, I should provide some background information on the objectives of my map.

The summary of the map deals with 2 teams with 2 people on each one, acting together cooperatively to destroy the other team without dying themselves. The setting of my map has lots of Line of Sight blockers, and I am also thinking of making each team not have allied vision so as to force communication and cooperation between each teammate. I am wanting this map to be a tactical one, with players having to make strategic decisions as to where to place themselves, their equipment (i.e spider mines) and when to use their character specialties.

One thing I want to note is that I might place a powerup of the sort in or around the middle (or maybe randomly around the map) to add risk/reward.

Here are the pictures.

Elaborate. Is this like a AoS? And what is LoS?

In any case, id probably go with first or second.

Edit: Actually, if you make the bonus in the middle, you might wanna go with the third because players would fight for the bonuses, and fight for the "bonus territory" so that they can farm bonuses, adding another element to the game.

You could say it's bordering an AoS, but it doesn't have leveling up or a ton of unique spells. My idea is that each person can choose either a marine or a ghost, and each unit has a few abilities unique to them (which are cast by building units from a gateway).

Sorry about the abbreviation. For clarity, LoS is short for Line of Sight.

Wow, thanks man. Those ramps look way better than mine (I'm pretty new to creating custom ramps).

Anyway... good luck!

Ultraviolet -- That's strange, it looks like you targeted the base image file (sometimes people make the mistake of just using the imgur page link which doesn't work for embedding) but it still didn't work it sounds like.

ManCubuS -- I should try a workaround, thanks! Sadly imgur is blocked in my country for some unknown reason.

NudeRaider -- I think SEN has trouble with https or hotlinking is forbidden. It certainly is nothing about the size, it just fails to get any size. You can get it working if you use imgur and include the actual image link for the img tag. Like this: [img=https://i.imgur.com/ddYqXZa.jpeg]

ManCubuS -- Hey fellas! Anyone knows why when I try to upload an image it says "failed to get image size"? I even tried making it so small. Imgur isn't working here and I tried postimg no luck.
