Three Islands - Update 3

Starting area 1 is nice and flat for an easy start, with plenty of nearby resources. Great map for a newcomer to COI.

This is a well-crafted map. But having played the map for a couple of hours, I think the starting oil patch might be too small (on the 3/30 version at any rate). I'm getting the "crude oil resource is getting low" warning before I've even researched lab II or cargo depot.

[Updated an hour later] Yep, the death spiral just started. Time to start over.

I agree @Trent the Thief , i have just released version 2 where I increased all oil deposit sizes - they were waaaay too low. The deposit close to start #1 has been bumped up to 17 500. Groundwater sources were also tweaked and should be a bit higher now

Edit: updated again, 17 500 was not enough, it is now 41 500 which is comparable to new haven's 50 000.

Map updated to version 4

Changes in this version: -Visual tweaks -The ramp for challenge start #2 has been moved to the beach - it is now further away from the start area for more challenge -Map screenshots were updated. FOV in some screenshots changed

Map updated to version 5

Changes in this version: -Erosion post-processor tweaks - some unintended natural ramps (accessible by trucks) have been removed -Some coal deposits were given the step appearance, similar to U1 maps -The huge coal node on the main island (next to start #1) was made slightly less deep since it's already very tall - the coal is mostly exposed and above ground

Map updated to version 6

Changes in this version: -Added some tiny dirt hills close to start location #1 -Added some tiny dirt hills close to start location #3 -More visual tweaks -Some hills were made less jagged -Coal deposit at location #1 was shrunk a little bit (away from the starting location) -Screenshots updated with fog densities

Map updated to version 7

Changes in this version: -Sand deposit on main island next to limestone was made slightly smaller -Some tweaks to copper at the top of the main island (the copper deposit that's accessible by Start #2)

resources on this map feel a little bit conflicting with the land itself and not giving the players another breathing room for their starting base location so it needs to be spread out a little bit more so players actually have a better foot hold the stepping of resources from higher tiers to lower tiers are okay but they could be improved

Nice map for beginners.

Map updated to version 8.

-Updated the map with Update 3 content: added Bauxite, Titanium and Uranium to the map. -Added tiny island north of the northern island -Made the ocean a bit more shallow near the 1st Start location -Misc Balancing and visual tweaks
