Technology

[Shallidor]

Hey everyone,

Just a quick suggestion here regarding the eggwars solo map: Technology

Now there are 2 different starting islands in the map Technology, this is not such a problem in my opinion, because one island isn't really better than the other. Except for one thing.

If you go down the stairs there is a second iron generator, half of the islands have this one on level 1, the other half has this on level 0. This makes a pretty big difference for rushing to get some free starting iron early.

So my suggestion is pretty obvious: Make this equal for all islands, level 1 or 0 doesn't matter in my opinion.

Which islands are you talking about exactly?
'Cause I don't see a problem if the "corner" islands have a broken gen, considering they have a huge strategical advantage by just the way the islands are placed.
If the outer islands (which have neighbors across) don't have the iron gen, then I'd be surprised.

I made some screenshots to show what I meant.
In the first picture you can see me spawn on an island, and my neighbours island is different (look at the position of the dia gen).
This isn't that much of a problem.

Spoiler: Picture

Now the point is, the island I spawned on has a second iron gen level 0, and the other island has it level 1. Here's a screenshot:

Spoiler: Generator level 0

I don't understand the strategic advantage you're talking about, because the islands are just like: Version 1- version 2 - version 1 - version 2, and so on, so there isn't really one certain version in the corner.

The strategical advantage I was implying only applies to the teams in the "corners" of the map (the ones with no obvious neighbor across from them)

This is basically the layout of Technology. The red lines indicate the two islands that almost always get into a fight before others do, and this is because of the way the islands are built. The blue marked islands don't have any immediate threat, considering their neighbors already have their hands full with other islands. These blue islands can easily go to one of the red islands and take care of them while they're busy with their own fight, hence why I call it a strategical advantage.
In conclusion, I'd only be okay with the second iron generators being broken on the blue islands in order to compensate for the strategical advantage that they have.

Aha I understand what you mean now. But now comes the funny thing: The corner islands like you said have the generator level 1, and the islands without the strategic advantage have it level 0. So yeah, it would be okay if it would be swapped, but this is double unfair.

I have never noticed this... Should be an easy change in my opinion.

Please vote in the poll if you agree ;)

And @Gainfullterror I have checked it, the islands aren't version 1 - version 2 and so on, but only the corners are the ones with the level 1 generator.

@cobvig could you explain why you voted no?
