Escape [19/5] Pages 1/9

Simplified everything from weapons to decays. While I liked all of the different things on the map, it was going to never get made as it was. Here is a new one. Can I get a move into the foundry please.

Nah, I don't think I'll move it just yet

I like the idea of a Zombie map but don't make it too complicated please !

Hmmm.

Well, it certainly looks nice. I like how you did the legend this time.

It's much simpler now. I guess whether that's a good thing or a bad thing depends on individual preferences.


I do have to say that I really liked the plethora of bonuses you had before. But, with it being a bit simpler, it will probably appeal to more players and probably be a bit easier to get it through the foundry, instead of spending months upon months trying to work out the gameplay and bonuses.

Still a great looking map and one that I will definitely play once it reaches beta. Great job, Koontz! Glad to see you working on it again.

It will not be that bad. But a few surprises are to be had.

Simpler it it. With everything that was on the map, I could not get the legend to work. Taken about 3/4s of and it now has a simplicity to it that might just work. Only having 2 guns is easier to work, without the bullets and only auto deploys, less room.
This is the one guys unless you really miss something from an older version.

I think you need to make the medicine regions more conspicuous, and also on the mini map make the different bonus zones a little more distinguishable. For example, are the Conference Rooms part of Admin bonus? Is the infirmary part of the Lab bonus? And the Lounges...are those part of the Dorms or Labs?

Also, the +1 for every 2 regions means a lot of troops will be dropped...not sure I like that.

Easily done. Will make it so.

Also, the +1 for every 2 regions means a lot of troops will be dropped...not sure I like that.

Remember, every territ on this has a decay (-1 or -2) apart from special regions like guns and medicine. So in a game, you will lose more troops per round than gain. This will mean players need to really think about drops and where they go from their, simulates the virus attacking the body as well. This is one of those things that will either make the map great or a total waste of space. Never been done before but if you can think up a very good reason to remove it, I will.

Now this is just something personal I'd like to see done, can you make some bloody fingerprints on the paper like someone was reading them to see how to Escape?

Planning to add them as soon as I find a willing volunteer. Either that or wait till one of my students misbehaves at school.

I hope that isn't a reference to using actual bloody fingerprints!?

Yes, how else am I going to get them.

This is only if people are silly enough to leave more than a single on the decay regions, which even mid level players don't do. So, though the log indicates I lost say, 12 men, in actuality, because we don't have a decay to neutral feature yet, I've only lost one from my main stack. Holding 20 regions will yield me a 10 drop...not a fan of that, and it's really going to throw off small games.

Save the students!! Here's mine :

Feel free to use it!!

koontz, I think most of your maps would benefit from nicer background texture and better fonts.
