Gauntlet's Map Mod/Map-Pack

Release

Welcome to Gauntlet's Map Mod:

You can go download it at www.Sins.bz

This mod only replaces ONE file, otherwise it only adds files, I provide a backup file too.

What does this do?

It all started with me wanting planets to have a variable in how many resource asteroids they have, I accomplished this and continued to do a Ton of Stuff lol!

Now I have maps with Structure Mini-Planets, Super Gas Giants (Fake Stars) Better Home Planets, Even More Better Home Planets, Asteroid, Trade Port, and Pirate Base Home Planets, Vasari Research Base Planets, Phase Gate Anomaly Planets... and More!



5 Original Maps and 6 Re-Made Maps

The Remade Maps simply add random anomalies and varying resource asteroids... Cool

Entanglement-GMM
Convergence-GMM
Civilized Encounters-GMM
Areolian Sector-GMM
Storm Front-GMM
Celanus Core-GMM

The Original Maps do a ton more than that!

Big Galaxy Hunters:
An 8 Player Map that provides high resources and low territory using the Superior Home Worlds and Fantastic Planets, in addition the central circle around the star randomizes between anomalies or asteroids for players to fight over. This map is in honor of the classic StarCraft map Big Game Hunters, and as such provides some appropriately named planets!





Exodus:
For those of you who like small 4 player maps this can be fun, more importantly your Home World is a special Vasari Research Station, many systems are linked by ancient Phase Gate Planets, which allow you to Phase Jump from anywhere in the gravity well! Seriously this one is cool!





Malice and Mayhem:
This map is good for 2v2, wherever teams spawn it creates interesting choices, the anomalies are randomized so be prepared for some extreme fighting! Notably there are 3 Pirate Bases to watch out for!





Pandora's Ring:
This map is 8 players of fun, all connecting to a outside ring of asteroids and the occasional Barren Planet. The planets, and certain phase lanes are randomized. In addition there are 3 Super Gas Giants that can show up, these are pretty substantial alternate routes that change the game-play significantly!





Gemina:
A small 3 player map with Super Gas Giants to look at. It can be a pretty slow start on this one, 3 Barren planets in the middle sometimes show up! Not for the faint of heart!





Go and Download! Oh and here are some images of what you can find in this mod!

































Oh and this one isn't here anymore I fixed it. But this is too funny not to post!!!

Pandora's ring appears to lack a spacelane at the top.

Thats Intentional, Pandora's Ring randomizes about a dozen or so phase lanes.

Gauntlet and I played some of these maps yesterday. They were damn cool. I liked the randomness of planet types (including the new planets/bases), asteroid #s and asteroid content.

His map mod does a good job of showing some of the modding that can be done with this game.

Do you plan on making other planet types?

Yeah next up is testing the maxmimum Gwell sizes.

I know that if you go below 20,000 the system can't have structures anymore lol!

Might be a matter of the 'mass' level of the planet too,

i was thinking a asteroid field the size of a star.

Oh and also more structure planets, and a an asteroid with a Ring,

after that its just making maps and more randomizing entries, oh and a Uninstaller EXE would be nice... but I don't know how to do that.

OH and I forgot, i'm testing a map tomorrow that will have occupied neutral planets with their own Gauss Cannons. That will be important eh? Thats the beginning of a minor race.
