Town/Province: +2,+2 to ground light

Passive Effect: none

Active Effect: You can build a man made terrain if a ground light sits above it.


Man Made Terrain: medical bay, base, and fortress

Restriction: Of course you can't build that thing for free! Materials costs money you know, but medical bay is actually free tho. Fortress costs 100 credits, Base costs 200 credits.

- easy to implement

- simple to understand.

The layers idea while interesting is absolutely none of those. The moving storm thing again, definitely not that.

those ideas basically need their own threads imo :p the OP idea sounds great though and man I hope we can get new tiles!!! Would be awesome.

OP - many people have asked for bridge tiles before. Naval bases kind of work for that. But dedicated bridges would look better and not allow naval units everywhere :p not my idea originally but needs added to a list ofc.

Yes many of those, these negative votes pop up for two reasons, either the map really was terrible OR the usual reason, they lost and that's enough to rate down, unfortunately players will usually delete the game afterwards, not giving a second though to a thumbs up when the map was clearly made well. This becomes a big problem in my opinion, all the hard work people put into building a map, just to have sour people rare the map down after loosing. This needs to change, I beleive that if after a game there were three manditory options in order to leave/delete a finished game. 1. Vote Positive 2. Vote Negative 3. Vote Neutral. This way we can ensure that votes are being done, otherwise all the well balanced fresh maps will get a chance. All the old established maps, sometimes are not even well balanced, due to all the changes of units etc. Let's change this!

Here's what I have in mind. There will be 3 layers each hexes.

The first (bottom) layer consists of usual terrains (plain, forest, mountain).

The second (bottom modifier) layer consists of:
- River: A modifier that modify the edge of the hex instead of full hex. If you move across the river, it will add the movement cost by 1 or 2. And if you attack an unit right across the river, it will receive an attack debuff by 1 or 2. Aerial units have no effect.

- Road: A modifier that makes the hex's movement cost below the road only 1 or 2 while retaining the hex's attack and defence bonuses. For example if I put a road on a forest tile the forest tile movement costs will be reduced to 2 while retaining it's bonuses.

- Bridge: A modifier that you can use to go across water tiles. Behave just like plains (no bonuses) and naval units can cross.

The third (sky) layer consists of clouds and weathers, which are:

-Thick cloud: A modifier that makes a debuff for aerial units, either vision or attack and defence penalty.

- Poisonous gas: A modifier that makes all units going there receive 1 damage per turn. Khrals may or may not be affected.

It's probably hard to do, but if you do add these, it will make more depths to gameplay and mapmaking.
