New debut map from me, this is the first mission of my campaign. Map name: Wreckage. Number of players: 2, Red and Yellow. Size: Small, 96x96. Description: Bassir was shipwrecked. Finding himself on unfamiliar islands, he wants to leave as soon as possible. Luckily, a nearby Haven is close. However, it has been infested with undead for about three hundred years. And orcs will try to prevent the young mage from leaving.

I can't make videos yet, but when I release the campaign (mission 5), there might be some, most likely.

Varimatas, I understand that you don't know how to make videos, but I don't know how to make them either. Unfortunately, I didn't finish the video completely.
As for the map, it's normal, just an ordinary one, I tried my best. ))
You just uploaded the map quickly, and there are many things missing in the map, like the design and everything else.

Thank you.

Hello! Please format the thread with the map according to the section rules. Ideally, add screenshots.

The thing is, I don't know how to take screenshots on my Windows 7.

PrintScreen or PrintScrn - it's a button on the keyboard. Press it while you're in the game, and then in any graphics editor (like Paint, for example), press Ctrl+V, or in a chat window on social media.

Hello, I can say right away that the map pleasantly surprised me with its landscape; it's immediately clear that we are somewhere on islands. Regarding the balance, I was very disappointed. It's too easy; I completed it in about 10 minutes. The main character has a starting army that is too strong. Also, there are a lot of artifacts, and as I understand it, there is no level limit. I reached level 18, although in campaigns consisting of 5 missions, the level limit in the first mission should be no more than level 10; otherwise, the gameplay will be too easy and uninteresting. The opponent can also be strengthened; give him at least level 1. I look forward to the continuation and balancing. Thank you very much for the landscape. It's rare to see a beautiful terrain and environment even on good maps.

Well, Varimatas, now you're in for it! They say your maps have a good landscape design, which is "rare" in maps (though, Fairring, I can list a couple of dozen good maps with good design)

I will definitely make a detailed review and post screenshots of wonderful maps by mapmakers from the group. Or, conversely, I'll upload screenshots of your design to an album (if you don't mind).

Varimatas, you impressed everyone with your landscape. Even Khottabych liked it. Soon you will probably become a good mapmaker like Andrey 21 and Grigory Kovalev.

Yes, the design is good (I can even say that). For first works, it's very, very decent. There are a couple of points that would be good to fix (or keep in mind for the future): water should be made the color of water by setting ReflectiveWater=true in the map settings; empty areas are better filled with objects, and roads should be made non-rectangular; also, you can "deeply" submerge the elf castle using simple River water. And I recommend trying to move from flat design to volumetric design for subsequent maps

Well, it's hard to argue with Khotabych's professionalism and assessment, but I forgot to mention that it's a good job for a first map.

Why this particular type of terrain? It would look better with sand near the shores and grass/worn grass in some areas. The design is good, but it feels flat.
The main issue is with the ground texture.

Started working on the 2nd mission. Map creation is going smoothly.
While I'm working on the map, guess who the opponent will be.

Added 1 hour 34 minutes later
And the 2nd mission will be bigger, more beautiful, and with more meaningful tasks. (Hint: the main character will stage a robbery in one of the countries of good guys who were fighting demons).

Decided to update the icon for the main hero.
