This biome is odd! What I wanted to do is to create a landscape with those vibes of early planetary geology, where the crust itself is slowly forming into solid layer out of magma and liquid matter - or possibly something similar provoked by planetary scale cataclysm destroying the surface. I believe it looks interesting - what's more problematic is to find ANY reason to actually do anything in hostile environment like that, to risk landing on a planet like that and to traverse a scorching pl...

I'm posting Hidden Streams map pack. As I've mentioned in a previous post, I wanted this place to look more grim and realistic than what I usually do. If you like the biome, I can work on places with similar atmosphere in the future.
Layout-wise, I've planned this place to be full of those small nooks and crannies you can position yourself or hide in, with a terrain itself rather open - but also full of rough terrain slowing the movement. As an experiment, I've added a bunch of those ...

I'm working on new rocky biome with lots of rough terrain hard to traverse. While I usually go with bright and vibrant colors and a lot of contrast, I wanted to make something more "realistic" this time, with this dim and desaturated atmosphere. I will be adjusting the map pack so elements pop up more, I've also left some bright blue water pools to balance somehow the dull vibes and to give something to catch the eye on.
I'll leave the pool about Arena maps for some more time, but as ...

I had an idea recently for something new and potentialy interesting, I'd like to ask you how you feel about that.
Besides sheets with natural terrain, underground biomes or more urban complexes or even some space maps, I was thinking about some possible new ideas for types of maps I haven't worked on yet and it occured to me that I actually haven't done any kind of Arena themed maps so far, where you could pit your units against each other in this championship / gladiatorial event. I t...

While in the next month, I'd like to work on some Earth-like biomes, this time I wanted to experiment a bit with something alien and exotic, like from the other planet. I've gone with the rocky terrain full of giant crystal deposits showing through the ground in deeper ravines. I'll need to still work on some things, but stay tuned for the friday!

I'm uploading finished versions of this underground package. Access points on the map borders are a bit limited, but hopefuly it won't be a big problem if you plan to use those maps in more scenario-like situations. Honestly, this particular map pack was mainly made with some cool scenarios in mind. Have fun!

I had an idea recently to make another underground map pack, this time however focused around the huge underground river. I must say, it suprised me I haven't really worked on wider rivers yet, so I've decided to do something about that. This pack is going to be less modular than usually, but hopefully the general layout of it is interesting. Stay tuned!

I'm uploading Ancient Streams map pack! Lots of small rivers, some multi-level highlands and some limited foliage providing some cover. Positioning is going to be really important and punishing on this map pack - so I hope the terrain itself will generate some interesting scenarios. Personally, I do like the way it looks, so possibly I'll make some additional maps including this biome sometime later - however I have some different interesting plans for new terrains for this month already!

I'm working on a mossy-rocky biome with a lot of small rivers - there were a lot of desert themed maps recently so I thought something like that would be a nice break - and also something fresh, as I haven't really worked on rocky biomes too much so far.

Hey, do you remember Asteroid Belt map pack for space combat from a while ago? Someone asked me recently to do a version of blank sheets without any additional features - just empty cosmic space.
Being honest, it wasn't something that came to my mind earlier, but I do agree it's something that was missing if you are into this kind of battles. One way or another, I'm uploading maps with the features removed.
I'm currently working on a new biome so you can expect the new map pack...

I'm uploading Industrial City map pack I was working on recently! I hope you will find those maps fun! I've tinkered a bit with a new building style (more round and oval shapes) inspired a bit with old-school sci-fi pictures, but I've also edited and reused some older files to make things inside the city more varied.
I have some cool plans about the next month already, so stay tuned!

I'm finishing up the work on another urban map pack - Industrial City. What I wanted from this map pack, is to give it some of those old RTS games vibes you could see in player/computer bases.
I was thinking about urbanizing the area even more, by giving it a concrete background, but after some thought and checking out older map packs including cities, I've decided a dirt background would be a good break from those mega-cities, so you can use it as a smaller scale settlement.

I'm working on a western themed map with railroads, mines and oil lakes to expand a bit on desert biomes. The idea works in a similar way to recent Ice Caverns, where you can get from the surface into the tunnels dug into the cliff walls. I hope it will be a nice addition to the biome library. Stay tuned! I will be posting maps soon and after that, I'm going to work on some old sci-fi RTS games inspired industrial city map.

I'm uploading the map pack - I hope it will give some good variety together with older Blue Planet maps when you are in mood to play on something alien looking and exotic. I think that in some time, I'll give the similar treatment to other different-planet biomes (I'm thinking about +1 more Martian and Lunar biome pack for the variety). For now, if you are looking for exotic adventures - I'd recommend checking out this recent Blue pack or the older Ferrocrystal biomes (I've made 8 sheets to c...

I'm working on an expansion on Blue Planet biome, adding a pack of maps for it, compatibile with the older package. This one however is focused on hives of alien insects native to the planet.
I've figured out, that recently I've been focusing mostly on Earth-like terrains and it would be good to put some work on something more exotic and alien looking to keep things varied. After this map, I will probably work on some more industrialized terrain. Stay tuned!

I've finished the newest biome - Rust Town. Working on it was really fun! I hope you like the general layout of the map and this different kind of urban environment. There are lots of easily destructible buildings here and a lot of junk heap hills providing some cover, but mostly impairing the movement and directing units to move around them - I think it's a nice combination making those lanes to move along on each map sheet, but also giving some freedom to simply get out of the clear terrain...

You can expect the new urban biome soon! This time instead of focusing on making normal tidy city or some kind of underground facility / living area I've decided to go with this rugged and junkyard type of urban maps - rust, cheaps of metal scraps and neglected buildings + some new shanty town additions here and there, starting to grow on the dilapidating town. Possibly I've watched one to many postapocalyptic movie recently, but I do hope you will like the biome! Stay tuned!

This is the newest map pack I've mentioned a few days ago. I've worked a bit on color palette to tone things down a bit. I hope you will find maps fun to use!
This map pack should work fine with the other grassland themed map packs like:
-Alpine Ridge
-Riverside
-Dragon Moutains
So if you are in a mood for experiments, that might give some cool looking results!
To make a break from natural environments - I'm going to focus on making the urban map pack next.

I'm finishing up a new biome - what I wanted to do, is to make a map compatibile with other grassland themed maps - but also including snowy moutain peaks to allow for a nice change of biome - a change in a way that new terrain features begin to appear. Those maps should work well if you plan to use them in conjunction with the older ones - but it should also be a cool map on itself, giving you a combination of moutains, grasslands and cold lakes.

It features this new style of trees I've mentioned earlier - I will give it a try and make some more biomes with this tree-style to have more examples of it and make a pool about it later on to check out if you guys like it or do you prefer the older style of doing it.
Besides that, I'm starting ...

I'm working on a dry highland landscape - I've figured out making some maps with more down to earth color range would be a nice break after those contrasty and bright biomes I've worked on recently. I'm also experimenting with different stylistics of trees/foliage for these maps - hope the results of that will end up cool.
As for the layout - my goal here was to make the terrain really cumbersome in terms of movement (in that way, that the route you pick while traveling the map is committ...

I really do recommend playing around with map arrangements here, the network of underground tunnels in the middle of 4 sheets is a pretty interesting setup, where you can race for the map control with the faster units. While the hue is a bit different, it should also work in a fun way wit...

I'm finishing up the work on the newest map pack - Ice Caverns. This map is another experiment of mine - I hope it will be fun to use. What I wanted to do since quite a long time, was to try making maps which have both the outside parts and underground parts at the same time. Where instead of stepping on a cliff or a hill, what you do is to use the tunnels and caverns carved in the moutain, to suddenly enter from the outside world into the depths of the earth. This is my attempt to deal with ...

Be sure to bring a lot of jetpacks or aircraft! Personally - I also think using multi-hex spaceship models on those sheets would be really worth trying!

I'm finishing up Asteroid Belt maps I've made a pool about! Most people were interested so I've gone with my idea and came up with an interesting layout. As the map is unusual, It's made for units with ability to fly/jetpack in mind - alternatively for spaceships if you would like to maneuver between the asteroids!

I'm uploading full versions of Green Hills! I'm not sure about the naming, it's kind of missleading, I didn't have a better idea how to call a biome like that. It has a bit of everyting - moutains, some canyon routes, some forest tiles and green-swampy looking lakes.
One way or another, have fun using this pack! Next week I will be working on asteroid field I've mentioned in the pool!

I'm posting the current state of work on the newest biome - Green Hills! I wanted to give it a try, and make a mostly mono-color biome focused on this hilly area. To make things fancy and more odd - I've added up water reservoirs on the highest levels of hills. I think the layout like that will be interesting. I will be finishing the work in the next few days.
