Yo Highlander last night what did you mean by the top left spot being unfair?

I hope I had made the map as fair as I could for all starting locations.

You mentioned pathfinding, which I think was what I was after.

Sitting in the top/left corner and having my RCC buildt, my micro's kept clinging to the hill sides, taking a few extra seconds to reach the front. Kinda frustrating.

It was more than 1 time I had 4 vecs rolling out to reinforce the frontline, and when they took the long haul, you could easily have overun my forces at the entrance. (Not that you didn't in any case..)


Just strikes me as kind of weird that the Vehicles do that..

Yeah I have found this annoying. You have to watch em more than you might normally do. Maybe even set way points for them to reach location using correct path. I just set em to move to first spot, once they are they select em and move to next.

Anyway. Its most annoying when the trucks and convec do it! Your trying to get that expo up fast and you don't realise your convec is going ALL the way around to the back till he goes to the middle to build the smelter. Hehe!

But as a map do you think its fair for all? You might have to take another look at it. I've tested and tweaked it. I think its good :D

And yeah - Outpost 2 path finding ain't the best in the world :D Cliff huging is common. Not sure if it improves with RCC built.

I don't think much can be done to improve the fairness of the map Lev.

The pathfinding of the top left position seems to be weird thats all.

RCC usually heals some of the worst cliff hugging in op2. Some, but not all, and a RCC should definately have cured what was going on, on nostalgia.. :S
