Better Terrain for GK (formerly "My Suggestions")

[Soala]

GK is laggy enough plz =[
I guess I'll have to buy a better comp if everything gets done.
Nice ideas btw.

Who needs new terrain?

GK is nice and functional, I'd rather like to finally see all damage types realized... Would be a cooler place to put some effort, not on some eyecandy...

Well... yea GK is the best game ever but I almost think there could be improvements to both the gameplay and to the graphics

Stop hatin' on terraingen maps. They're actually very fun to work with if you can do it properly. I am a big fan of them even if the landscape is very flat-looking, because it's good for stuff Kingdoms has, like arcing arrows, cannonballs, and so forth.

Why not just create new building structures and war devices and so on? The thing that makes Kingdoms look so featureless is that it really doesn't have many features besides houses and fences to begin with. I don't see why more monuments and locations aren't introduced in the areas that are most blank. I mostly see people revising things we already have when there's still a lot of useless, open space in the world.

I've worked with terraingen gmaps in the level editor, and they're quite awesome indeed. It makes me sad that more servers don't use them.

Castle gates need to be destroyable ;[, I don't see the point in making it so only kingdom members can get in. Would give wars a goal other than pk the other team until one of you gets bored and starts logging off.

I don't see how. G3D has always sucked.

I don't think anyone was asking for 3D support... just something more complex than simple hills. You can't even really do cliffs or anything. It's extremely limited in terms of flexibility. Especially when you start working with shorelines and such.

Well, if you've ever worked with terraingen, you'll see that terrain is nothing but a big wireframe mesh. So it's a little hard to make things like walls and so forth, because the lines are always at an angle.

Exactly, I mean it's hard to even try to make a river and lake. I think that's the point, though, to maybe add more complex possibilities with it.

would be interesting to know what went tho the heads of those people who voted "sux"... Probably nothing at all as they didn't even read, but I mean how could this idea ever sux? its just unsuckable. (xD)

Approved!!! Rep ++
I like the idea. Though it shouldnt only be for kingdoms. But without expanding map for classic servers etc. Setting predifined tiles for classic servers with cliffs etc

[MattKan]

yes yes yes

[DuBsTeRmAn]

Its a damn awesome idea!

To be honest, i have no idea what this is about or when i voted on this.. so yeah..
