New GS5R2 Map

[swiftfoxmark2]

I've completed a new map for GS5R2. It is 256x256 and features every encounter type.

Caves range from level 1-12, there are some low level towers to give you a (hopefully) a champion to help you take the Great Temple.

Tons of villages that will appear randomly since there is a limit. Also, if you look at it from the map editor and you will not see everything since I managed to surpass the sprite limit. Don't worry, everything is there.

There are several rogue kingdoms through the map. They are basically a level 11 encounter surrounded by level 8-10 encounters.

Resource encounters are pretty scarce in comparison to all the other encounters. This is intentional. There are a few low-level mines and breweries solely to allow the lords to acquire some income before taking the Great Temple.

The Great Temples are level 8 in Hard.

Let me know what you think.

It looks promising. I'll try and play it when I am able.

Here's a quick summary of the encounters for each faith:

-For all level 1-5 caves, there are four per level
-For all level 6-9 caves, there are 2 per level
-There are one level 10, 11, and 12 cave on the outskirts of the faith's area
-There are two level 4 towers one level 8 tower, and one level 12 tower
-There are two level 11 dungeons and one level 12 dungeon
-There are two level 2, two level 4, two level 6, one level 8, and one level 11 multi-level caves
-There are one level 3 gold mine, crystal mine, and brewery and one level 5 gold mine, crystal mine, and brewery.
-There is one level 15 statue

In addition, there are several rogue kingdoms. These rogue kingdoms have level 8, 9, and 10 encounters surrounding a level 11 encounter. Each of the eight faiths has a rogue encounter matching its faith (Life Encounter, etc.). Besides the faith-based rogue kingdoms, there are marauder kingdoms throughout this map:

-Fire Dragon Lair surrounded by Demon Encounters
-Frost Dragon Lair surrounded by Sprite Caves
-Witch Tower surrounded by Animal Encounters
-Lich Castle surrounded by Undead Encounters
-Orc Encounters
-Centaur Encounters
-Troll Encounters
-Cyclops Caves
-Grendel Encounters

Randomly placed are Troll Bridges, Shipwrecks, and Spider Webs. Some of the rogue kingdoms will have some mines or breweries at level 8 and 15.

Lastly, this map has a lot of water, but all the faiths are connected by land in some way (Water faith has enough close land masses to conquer on foot), so it is not necessary to employ a navy in order to beat all other faiths. But some of the rogue kingdoms are located on remote islands.

I am thinking about swapping out some of the encounter sprites for some of the rogue kingdoms because the descriptions don't really match up (along with the combat mode layouts). I'll have to investigate them all, but I think most of them are fine.
