OK Check out How to Build a Conquest Map, in The Book of Conquest, it's ready now. Still a bit raw, but it's basically useful.

A couple questions, if I may.
1. How many maps can we post?
2. Can we post a map, then take that map and tweak a map feature or reroute something entirely, and then post it as a new map?
I'll have to enter this. I've had some conquest designs on the back burner, but it looks like I'll be working on them now.

1. I guess as many as you want, but youll have a better shot at winning if you focus all your skills on one great map.
2. reading the rules will get you far. No you cannot.

There's not much to say really. Make a new exciting conquest map. Try to keep true to the spirit of conquest (linear tug of war) whilst being creative. No one hit kill weapons besides the Sniper.

Predicide, is there any snery we can't use, such as fusion coils or shield doors? Also, what are the characteristics of the custom power-up?

I believe there's a link in the first book of conquest post that tells what the characteristics of the CPU are. Failing that, DL Conquest v3 and look for yourself.


As for shield doors, its a touchy situation. Shield doors should NOT reside in the main path. However, you can see a successful use of it in Chasm by JustcallmeDrago. Shield doors slow down gameplay, which goes against conquest's nature.

No fusion coils/explosives

Ohai, I'll do this. who did the graphic at the top? I likey


Edit: hahahah you said that no maps already posted could be used. That makes it so that HalfBrian doesn't automatically win.

Just to clarify. Does this mean none at all; like no updated versions?

On another note, I can't wait what to see the outcome. Perhaps you should lead people to Predicide's Book of Conquest. Good luck guys!

EDIT: I see the book now...

:D
