This is the sequel to my previous map pack, and contains another three maps, hopefully much more playable than my previous pack. This map pack contains the following maps; Ashtar Desert (3P FFA), Gadreel's Gambit (3v2), and Rutax Island (5P FFA).
Ashtar Desert (3P FFA) - This map is an open desert map with a single relic at the center. This map is a night-time desert map designed with titanic warfare in mind, and has plenty of open space for building large bases with titan factories, as well as the fielding of larger armies. The map should be played with Annihilate or Destroy HQ win conditions, but Control Area should also work well for this map.
Gadreel's Gambit (3v2 Teamplay) - This map is a jungle map, split down the middle by a river with a few points along it's length. The idea in this map is to have players 1-3 on the same team and players 4-5 on the opposing team. This map is pretty open, but base building areas are a bit smaller, so you'll be expanding across the map to have room for building your war machine against the opponent. This map was designed with Imperium vs. Orks in mind as the general theme, but anything goes as usual. Each player has a dedicated relic placed close to one another near their team spawn.
Rutax Island (5P FFA) - This map is a daytime island map with a central plateau, similar to my previous map Ashlands of Tharr, but is designed with far more open space and more avenues to reach the top where two relics are placed on opposite ends. This map is a WW2 pacific theater inspired map, so IG might be at home here. This map has plenty of open space and relatively far spaced strategic points and critical locations, designed to make a Take and Hold or Control Area game more engaging with mods like The Crucible or Ultimate Apocalypse. Titans and big armies should have plenty of room to traverse the open areas of the map from base to base, with the idea being that you will expand your area of control as you eliminate other players.
Installation - The file this time contains a folder with the proper directories to be placed in your Dark Crusade or Soulstorm folder for the ease of installation. Simply download the file, extract the folder using Winrar or a similar program, and then drag and drop the folder into your game's directory and the maps should install with ease.
