Alright, I need a 128x128 Map for a (balanced, yes OMG BALANCED! and decent) K&K Map. But, instead of just asking for your guys' help, why not host a contest who see who can make the best terrain? That way we can have a bit of a friendly competition.
Anyway, winner gets bragging rights and the terrain can be used in the K&K Map and will get full credit.

I thought it'd be nice to see what you guys are capable of.
Theres no almost no rules:
1. 128x128
2. Don't make it like typical K&K maps, they make me sick
3. I would appreciate if you left the corners untouched for me to work in mercenaries.

Kings & Knights
This vers. the only one I have now that I reformatted, but the map is so bad it makes me want to throw up. It has such a good idea, but badly made >.<

King and knights should have Quests and things for the mercenaries to do. or maybe just creeps. Also a King should pwn the shit out of any lvl 1-2 merc.

like I said, be creative, add castles if you want, caves, waterfalls, whatever.
They'll be 4 kings, so 1 North, South, East, and West.
I also plan on making a complex farming system that has fields outside the castle.

Some castles will help, Ionno how big they should be, not too large, maybe 2x the screen?

I dug this up from a map I remembered I dled that someone posted at SEN a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time ago. I did not make this.



It was a castle work in progress, so I thought it would fit this project.

Meh, Castle isn't elaborate enough >.>, and there is no way to get to middle.
If you guys want to work together on this go ahead.

I tried making a castle, turned out to be more of some walls with some failed blending attempts.



I think it has some cool stuf, and i dont think some of the blends are too bad but what do i know about Jungle. If you like feel free to copy it or what ever but i dont know if this would work for whar your doing

Well, it is ok, I can always change the map size to 256x256 if the castile is big. But actually I kinda like it.

I think for a KnK map the castle shouldn't be too elaborate as in too many narrow paths. It should be more open with a lot of space to move around.

I agree, small paths really piss people off >.>

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically
