I can't stop using the editor... For one, it allows you to screw around with the AI. Rather than leaving the AI to screw the pooch(The Allied AI in WiC is designed so, that if you leave them to battle it out themselves while you level random buildings for a cheap giggle, they start to suck quite bad. The enemy AI however, seems to get even better then. Consider it a pre-taste of Left 4 Dead). The second reason is that it's too damn advanced, everytime you do something, you discover something new.

Though, the whole "BOOOOMMM!!!!!!!" error screen is as old as it can get. 'Tis a shame, cause you can do wonders with that specific editor. It cures cancer, feeds babies in Africa, causes a terrific black hole that will end the world if triggered because some dudes in white wanna find out how we'll all die if triggered... Okay, that was random as hell - My take on combining a map editor with todays news.

Anyway, can someone explain me how I can simply set the images on Giantbomb to, whaddaya call it... "Stand alone", rather than to let them wrap in with the text. Cause the choices I have are; Wrap in text - Right, left or Cancel? The whole blog format gets screwed up if I add some images. Especially, considering that these are huge.

But back to business. The World in Conflict maps require somesort of "backstory". A "reasoning" to why you're gonna tear it all up. Unleash nukes, tanks, the whole deal.

So, I kept it with this:
"DOMINATION - Communist forces settled in the vicinity of the Washington State/Canadian border. We suspect that they want to use the Interstate 5 to slip into the United States, and use the forest paths to sneak further into our country. Stop them from advancing on U.S soil."

Fairly simple, ain't it?

The map itself is far from done. There's a small portion done(R-77) and the interstate is in progress... What more keeps me from finishing it soon, is the ultra-advanced texturing system Massive Ent. has stuffed inthere. Sure, professional as all hell - But user friendly? Like saying "Build the Apollo Spacecraft for NASA, heres what you require, have fun." to Paris Hilton. So, the texturing's gonna be a bitch.

Aside from that, it's a true resource hog. And it's already getting frame-rate dips, while not even a quarter of the map is done yet.

Oh, if you wanna see some updates shots from that Command & Conquer 3 map - Hit the images tab on your left.

By the way, I'm in love with that Eagles song... "
