Hello! I think this is probably my first ever Non-amazingly-newbish-!!111!!!one!!!11-post!
I am making a game. Kind of "DBZ meets Age of Empire", with a twist. It is nothing like the other Zeta rips, although I admit a few base icons are from Zeta (they are SO easy to use). The reason it is different, is that you are a Commander, who can build buildings, and recruit men. These men are also under your control! Because of these legions of men you can control, I have named the game "Dragonball Legions", althought I am willing to change it if I am given any good names.
Anyway, back to the reason I posted. These people all have their own bases, and loads (about 20) mobs under their control. The map also has trees and other turfs. So I was wondering, what map size would you suggest?

P.s. Please look at my post "Placing Problems" in the Newbie Central!
Thank you!

It will generally be quite a long battle, because, although the units have little HP, the buildings have quite alot. Also, I was thinking of setting the Max Units to 40.
And the amount of players will be almost limitless (I doubt many will join anyway :P) And about the Zeta Rips, I didn't phrase myself well, when I said they were so easy to use, I meant to get me started. Once all the code is done, the 4 icons I am using will be replaced with my own! (Only 4 out of 36 icons are Zeta Rips, so it isn't THAT bad, although I admit, it is bad) ~GokuSS4Neo~ | |
Map size depends on how long you want the game to last. Is the particular battle going to just be a little skirmish? Is it a normal RTS length battle? Is the server fairly permanent with long games? You also need to decide how many are playing at once. Four, Six, Eight? Another thing that matters is how much damage can your units do compared to HP they and buildings have. You don't want a map with every tile filled with something. You also have to think about the max number of units each team can have.
