So everyone, with the new planets in game now we have been afforded the outstanding opportunity to make more SotP themed maps with more depth and strategic viability than ever before. Two maps have been made so far utilizing these concepts, but we would like to squeeze in at least one more before the next release.

These are the maps being added as of this writing:

 

SotP: Will of the Gods

A map based upon the war between the Covenant and Humanity, players will fight in a 3v3 clash for supremacy all the way from Harvest to Earth utilizing anything at there disposal. Its up to the players whether they want to reenact canon, or take it on as a competition. The choice is yours, but I am very confident you will all enjoy this map!

SotP: Post War Conflicts (WIP at this writing)

This map places you in the heart of the War torn UNSC or the newly uprising Covenant Remnant. Post War Conflicts is based all upon FFA, or using diplomatic actions to rise to the top of the ever changing galaxy. So far this has 6 players, the UNSC, Jul’ Mdama’s Faction, Covenant Loyalists, the Covenant Separatists, Jackals and Brutes.

The fun doesn't end there though! Vote in the poll above and tell us what other maps you would like to see! Most popular map will be thrown into production by yours truly :D

I have a linear lore campaign map, Just waiting on the new release so i can get the GSD. (Also trying to figure out if i can spawn a starbase in GF)

The second one sounds like "to galaxy" i distributed a while back. The 5 player map with covenant remnant, Arbiters faction, brutes and insurrectionists surround the faction of earth, where diplomacy is key, because earth gets the initial advantage, but once diplomacy kicks in, its a 2 Vs 3 match.

This map simulates the beginning of the UNSC's and Covenant Empire's expansion. I have almost all major known Halo planets in here. There are over a dozen star systems, each containing lore-based planets. There are also shield worlds, but good luck getting to them. There are also Halos. This map is 1v1 only and can be played with either AI or a player.

Just edited the post with pictures of the starting positions

 

And SPECTRE, I remember you talking about that a while back, and I assure you this map is different, it uses more canon star placement rather than competitive placement. Another thing I should mention, the Post War conflicts  map is more like a "alternate" to Will of the gods. It includes several more stars (with special little surprises, for those who dare), and a heavier emphasis on a strategic war rather than a simple "push forward and obliterate everything" like will of the gods.

I believe you. Multi star maps, and XYZ coordinates do my head in so i focus on single star maps.

IMHO, the Sol/Eridani map would be the best choice. Allows you to focus more on a single thing and get it right.

Oh that reminds me I have an accurate epsilon eridani on one of my drives if anyone would like to use that as a starting point.

It may be better to Wait until next update, see what goodies we get in terms of planets.

SPECTRE, I'm really thankful for your offer, but I'd have to decline, your old maps don't include the new planets and they'd have to be totally redone, so I am afraid I cannot include them as it would be less effort to simply make anew. But again, the effort is appreciated.

I'm hoping for a loyalist and seperatist tech trees. Kind of like the ONI and UNSC trees.

I think thats still in the works, or being decided, devs have changed there mind from different factions to separating research several times now.

So everyone, the first version of SotP: The Great Schism. Is now in testing. Lots of stars in this WIP version of the map and I'm hoping to refine it slightly, will give you guys screenies of the map as soon as I feel a comfortable "mold" of the map has been completed.

 

I plan to also begin work on the 2v2 Sol and Eridani map very soon   :D

Will of the Gods is horribly linear. You end up getting funneled into an asteroid and a flood world with 30 guardians. No bueno. Unless I missed something, that's a little ehh for balance.

just tried this map 3 times... on one of my tries... lets just say there was a massive UNSC vs Covenant stalemate at the asteroid. As UNSC i could not break through even after setting my 2 AI allies to vicious aggressors (aka, kill everything mode). Needs a bit of tweaking...
