Okie hers the deal guys...
We all know i know how to edit battle maps... and well i really dont know what to do to Mandalia Plains..
Its flat, lots of obstacles and even more lameness....
So, i coem to you all, please suggest what you would like done to Mandalia Plains, so that i can make it better...after a few suggestions have been made, i will post a screenshot, and upon completion, the map file itself for everyone to use :D

Quote from: "Voldemort"Snow
Easily done, let me find the snow pallete where the rocks dont look like wooden floors... i may have to make a new one so they look like rocks, and not peices of a fort...rofl

Snow's a decent idea. Perhaps rain?
I mean, really, are you looking for more obstacles, or just wanting to change the overall aesthetic of the map?

Anything to make it better, right now the obstacles represent no real advantage, the map is to flat, and where it is higher, no one really goes there to fight...

Perhaps half snow, half volcano? IE, snow at the bottom, no snow on the volcano?
The only issue is the name of the map; Mandalia PLAINS kind of prohibits large scale items.
Snow + a bunch of trees are all you could really add, short of changing the name of the map which may be more effort than its worth.

Lava is getting some exceptional Love in DD, One of the last battles in orbornne, the one with kletian and the tiamats, A few others are getting some nice updates...
Tithin is right, you can only do so much to "Plains"
So lava is going into more fitting maps.
Snow is going into more...well less situational maps

I would think probably the cemetery one for a path between the towns but the dirt one going off the main road towards the Thieves Fort

I'm all for more snow and lava stages, but why in Mandalia?
I'd put them in places that are more remote instead of in the middle of the game's first route.
I think it would be interesting to turn Mandalia Plains into more of a maze by adding more obstacles.
Maybe make small hills where the player and enemy begin the battle at to give them a clear view of each other.
I think that would make for a better challenge without making it seem out of place. ^_^

I think Mandalia is fine. It's a great place to train and stuff. It doesn't need to be any harder.

Yes I did. I just mangled my own sentence. I was referring to the few who wanted to make Mandalia harder. I wouldn't mind some asthetic changes. A road would be kinda cool.

I AM cute! ^_^
And I still think a maze-like structure would rule. ^_^
A road down the middle would work and then you'd have 2 mazes! ^_^

RAWR
Alright heres the rundown...
I ran across some issues with map2gl's extremely limited pallete editor... it made all my snowy trees into green rocks...trust me it looks to ugly to show.
So i was inspired to look int o coding a little bit to see if i can add some editability to the color of the pallete, not just the graphics. you see, currently the pallete retains its origonal color of the map, but you can make the graphics look different. i.e. changing the rocks in mandalia plains to wooden floors. But they are still green. cause the wood tile uses a color that, now bieng imported into mandalia plains, is in the color green's spot. not a pretty one either, i might add
At any rate, Gomtuu has warmly opened his computer desk to a partner in his program.
You can all look forward to editing maps within...well im pretty busy lately, so most likely 2 months.

OOOO what would be really cool is that you delete all the rocks except a few... and have some entrances to run-down homes with overgrown vegetation, so it could be like a deserted, war-ravaged town in the plains
..... maybe even include a chicken that runs in and out of the map on an event

Add this to the canyon-esque idea and this map could be an archer's paradise.
