C&C Generals : World Building : Planning

Pre stuff

When you're starting, or better before you start.. have an idea how you want your map to look/work.

Click map, and new. Make the map nice and large, 300x300 is a good large starting size for a four player map.

The border around the map is just dead space which you don't see when the map is in play. I'm using a nice small one.

Choose a size for your map.

Planning

Heres my planning: I want a four player map, with a base in each of the four corners. In the centre I want a ring of buildings, and a couple of supply docks in the middle.

There will be paths leading along the edges of the map towards each base, with a nice motorway/road system connecting the main features together.

Heres a full sketch I did in paint shop pro.. its got all the lines and main features I want on the map, and will be really useful for making the map.

My map, all planned out.
