Archipelago (topographical):

Surprisingly enough, it took me more time to make a colourless version of this map!
I removed bridges - they're not a part of this map, anyway. I drawed them on the "colorful" version of this map to give some idea on how "grounded" units could move around without diving into the sea.

Very interesting idea of force field generator. I imagine you have to first break through somehow (by destroying it and turrets protecting it) before you can face another player. By that time you should have at least medium tech to be able to break through. It would make it more interesting and giving you some time to evolve at the same time.

AvionAris

@Byrgius Yeah, that's kinda sorta what I thought it could look like. Some people might not want to have this generator destroyable, though, so I added three ideas for special options of this map.

Wow, that looks really good! Would love to play this map one day.

@Byrgius
Thank you! I simply put @Encrypted's map into perspective and modified it. I added those purple rocks, which are what he described as destroyable. Notice that there are large structures to be defended. The ones at the "left" are easier to defend, while the one at the "right" is in an open ground (probably an antenna to send the enemy's exact location and destroy them from orbit), and hence, more vulnerable. The one at the bottom is a beacon, which has reinforcements to help you (either civilian or military units). It would be fun to be able to assemble your squad before the mission according to your preferences and the units around the beacon. I also added some spiky mountains and discarded the inaccesible terrain (because of the mountains; now it is lower terrain).

Wow, that looks impressive! My 2D drawings are being transformed into three dimensional maps!

Anyway, here's my fifth map concept:

Name: Frozen Stone Desert
Location: Cryo-geos 37 Moon

Description: A frozen stone desert with lots of ravines and a high mountain called after the greatest of all philosophers.

This barren, flat landscape is almost dry. There are little minerals on this map - that is, the minerals are almost nonexistent, unless you traverse up to the mountain and its sides, of course. Also, this place is cold as hell... err, hot as- nevermind, it's just frozen, so rocks here can be broken with incredible ease. And remember, the higher you go, the colder it gets!

Symbol/color explanation:
The brighter a color is, the higher a place is located.
The darkest color on the map (discounting the ravines) illustrates the borders of this map.
Abyss - Ravines. I called them abysses 'cuz it sounds cooler. Note: They are really deep, and the planet is not frozen to the core at all. If you think you can fly over these, your machines will get an answer - they'll be simply pushed away!

yay.gorilla

P.S. I would love if someone could add the... uh... how's it called? Oh, yes, signatures! Ya get it.

6:

Name: Warzone Bunkergarden
Location: Eden 4's Secret Moon

Description: You can call it a bunker... or a garden. Strange, isn't it?

At the centre of this map is the Tree of Life. It's not an actual tree - just a biometallical structure. However, it is way more complex than you might think it is. And it's indestructible. It also is the source of INFINITE MINERALS - but you probably guessed that it'll not be easy to secure this thing when it's the centre of the map.

Also, the water here is actually traversable, even by legged/wheeled units. It's so shallow that even a Scout can move through it. Don't think you can make your machines stand here forever, though.

There's also this thing: it's a bunker and it's a garden. You're surrounded with millions of trees and plants, and some of them are really, really big.

Symbol/color explanation:
The brighter a color is, the higher a place is located.
The darkest color on the map are the borders.
Teal: Shallow water.
The Tree of Life - It was here. It was always existing on this moon. And surprisingly, fertilizes and enriches minerals around it. You get it, anyway!

P.S. This map was meant to be a lot bigger... but, unfortunately, the bigger version looks messed up so badly that I wonder how could I make it.
P.P.S. This map's title is a reference to my AssaultCube map: "wz_bunkergarden". It is not resembling my map in any way.

Double-post because this one is unrelated.

How does this sound?

Pisarz

@Encrypted
I'm currently without speakers, so I couldn't listen to it :(

Just a hint :)

Pisarz

@Encrypted
I managed to listen to voiz. It sounds as if the character were enclosed somewhere, like a dark metallic chamber. I couldn't understand what it says, but it seems that it's filled with rancor. Maybe a broken prototype that survived the controller's destruction, intending to destroy the ones that obliterated its creator :)
