Ideas for Maps

MekArcade/Blood Mars

 The first 4 maps are outdoors and martian. These are the most important and I would hope to commission these first. Even though they are large they are relatively bare, except fpr the 4th. The first 3 try to capture 3 typical Martain environments: the crater, the plain and the Valleys.  The next 2 recreate old mechassault maps and contain more objects. They also depend on being able to do destructible modelsa. The last 2 are martian and open.
 

1. Large Martian Crater. 

Crater around 3-4 km in game size. Open and fairly bare map. Ledge around the edge. In the very centre a hill with destructible fences. The north and south faces of the hill are gentle slopes to allow access, otherwise it is shear. Scattered on the floor of the crater are rocks, big and small.

2. Planitia

Large map. Open plain interspersed with low hills, gullies and small craters, providing good cover. Mountains or escapements provide natural boundaries. Perhaps a huge escapement on one side like at the southern edge of Olympus Mons - 2 to 4 kms, almost straight up!  A variety of environments suitable for a long single player mission. Images of Mars below to get you thinking.

3. Into the Valles

Steep walls contain the action in a large branching valles, that provide a variety of paths. Again thinking more for SP.  In one of the larger Valles there is an airstrip

 

4. Dome Town:

External view of a multiple domed town. Maybe one buidling you can get in. Completely up to your imagination. Can have other types of buildings. Below is a picture of some domed towns from Rebelmars

5. Inside a Dome

This would be a smallish map set within a dome, which would  probably be a skybox. The map below is the Mechassault map, demo town. There would be buildings within the dome, which you don't need to get into, indeed ideally the buildings would be destructible,

6. Terran Riverside City.

A pleasant little city by a river. The mechassault map looks like this:

7. Martian Spaceport.

This one is completely up to your imagination. Not even a hint.

8. Martian Cave Town.

 Make it in ice, make it in rock let your imagination run wild.
