Looking for a good map maker!!

Ok, well I would do this on my own, but I havnt very much time on my hands anymore.

At the moment, im looking for a Map Maker that knows some to alot about StarGate, the show, even someone that plays the game StarGateWars.com. Anyways, the map would be based off the game StarGateWars. Its a complex game, but on SC would be an amazing map! I cant really go into all details here, but I will provide some.

2 Kinds of maps, a regular unascended map, and an AScended Battle Map.

The first (Unascended) map would consist of:
-7 Players, 1 Computer
-Use the dialing like in the other StarGate maps on SC
-Use the Technology Thing from the other StarGate Maps.
-On StarGateWars, theres 1 Mother ship, but with lots of fleets, buy something like a BC, then you can create say Wraiths as its fleets.
-4 Races, you can choose at beginning, Asgard, Tauri, Replicators and Goa'uld.
-Would have to mine for mins, stacked mins on home planets, 7 home planets, for 7 players, but just 3 times or so, only to give a home planet a small advantage over regular planets.
-Have miny planets, with non stacked mins, but are needed for expansion.
-Each race has special units, Replicators have the ability to create mass amounts of units fast,(build time), but at a reletivly descent cost, but are powerful (ground units)
-Tauri would have the ability to create Marines, SG Teams, Malps and such, at a less expensive amount, but cheap.
-Goa'uld would have the ability to steal technology(gain it after so many kills or hidden on some planets), have descent units.
-Asgard would have very powerful ships, very expensive, and good defense, but very weak ground units.

For each race there could be a few heros they can choose from, each giving a destinct advantiage to the races units. Say a player chooses Goa'uld, and chooses the hero Anubis, that player will get the Modified Anbuis Version of the Hatack. more detial to come.


This is just a small bit I could get off the top of my head, gonna have my friend Earendil come here and post soon to to add, but if a Map Maker is willing to give this a try, I would be more than happy to help provide ALL info about the map, StarGateWars, StarGate.

Thanks!

How about this: you start working on the map, and when you run into trouble, or need a way to do something, post the problem here. You'll be hard pressed to find someone to actually make a map for you, especially when they have no motivation to do so. Mapping isn't THAT difficult, and you should give it a try.

Also, ditch the 2 MB double sig.

Lol

Well thats the thing, I used to do that with maps. First I have Vista (shakes), and I cannot install old editor programs on here, and second I would really appriciate it if someone could do this.

There motivation is simple, to create a very complex map and be proud of doing it. Its like for me when I learn something new on making sigs, always pushing yourself to a new level, seeing what new and more difficult things you can accomplish.

People willing to spend their time making a complex involved map want the idea to be their own.

Generally.

Sometimes I'm being asked by my mapping collegues about ideas for a new map. I'll link them to your topic then. I'm sure they will add a credit like "Idea by: Tetrismonkey".

I really would care if I got credit or not, I would just love to play a map like that.

The creator deserves all the credit! Ive seen it in a few maps after being edited a few times, that the olriginal creators name gets lost or they dont get the credit they deserve. I would prefer that the map, if made, only have the creators name in it.
