Unfortunately, there isn't many maps. But these maps are interesting in my opinion. So you can test them. There are five maps: 2 for single player and 3 multiplayer. [url=http://yadi.sk/d/Ii8EhI7TFPUUx]Here[/url] they are. Or [url=https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/108183062/Mapmaster2013_eng.zip]here[/url].
-Singleplayer maps:
--The Fire Storm
---Size: 176 X 176
--Illusion of victory
---Size: 136 X 136
-Multiplayer maps:
--THE HELL INVASION
---216 X 216
---3 players
--Death Whisper
---136 X 136
---2 players
--Dragon's utopia
---96 X 96
---2 players
P.S. If there are some problems participants can write me about that.
P.P.S. Of course, any player can vote for maps in this thread.
