I knew that in order to do this I would definitely need to bring both new ideas and old ideas from past Sky Islands. For example, two of my old ideas that I brought back was the newly named "Power Lift", that was made up of man cannons that were set up in a circle so that you could lift pretty much anything movable into the air AND also includes the top part where you can effectively surprise, attack, and pwn your enemy. I also brought back the ingenious Bridge. This old fashioned idea has been newly developed to be wider, longer, and extravagantly placed so that vehicles have access to the island. Some new things that I have added are: a lot of attachments to the island... and I mean A LOT, such that there have been numerous platforms added, a whole underside for players to jump/sneak around, a Five Part Transporter, which includes an elevator, and much, much more. . . .This concludes the lengthened story, but I do want to add so much more... but, well... I can't, people want to see the map... so here you finally go... after nearly four months...

"More cover would...make it harder to maneuver vehicles." And these quotes are relevant to this map, so do remember the name "The Sky Island", and what the map is pretty much based on. __________________________________________________________ REMEMBER TO WATCH THE GAMEVEE VIDEO WITH OVER 30 PICTURES!

Wow this post is amazing! This map looks pretty awesome too!!! The only thing I could see that I didn't like was too many vehicles for this size of a map...
I have six vehicles... sandtrap has nine (I believe)... Last Resort has sex (EDIT: SIX, lol) vehicles also (I think)... I guess it could get a little over your head, but that's when the equipment and weapons come in... it's actually fairly easy to take a vehicle out. But there is always room for improvement, so that I will keep in mind for a v2
dude...your post pissed me off...first of all, none of your vids work, or at least the last link doesnt....second, plz embed pix next time, thats what it's for! i hate slideshows you cant believe it... for the map: 4/5 i like that, but plz get your posts good, cuz these piss me ****in out of my mind! thanks!
Yes! Finally! It is out! I was a big fan of the other ones but now, this one rules above them all! Must... play... NOW!!! I heart Sky Island
wow, this really looks like a great map, shame i cant play it since i dont have the new maps, but once i come back from my holiday and am allowed to spend my money, ill get the new maps just to play this map, thats how good it looks =)
like idk how it will work... I guess I should play it before I judge it but it still looks like a really great map and you did a good job with it
i can only see the top pic right now... but it looks great from that pic. nice job. i would DL, but my hard drive is running out of space. 4/5
I <3 this map a lot. It is very clever in the ways that you used to get to the island. It seems like ground guys have the same opportunity as vehicle people. Very nice map sir. Also, I like your picture at the beginning.
well, with the help with this thread I used a program called Infran View, which lets you edit the pictures and add raindrops, change things, add colors and different things like that... ground guys do have the same opportunity as vehicles do, yet there are some parts of the island that are inaccessible with vehicles, which lets the humans have "safe zones" where they know they won't be troubled... at least by vehicles.
outstanding i mean it i am impressed the video is good{not sure about the music but whatever} and the post is laid out well although i'd lose some of the characters and just space it a little. As for the map it looks very good i like the lifts and i like the fact that unlike most floating maps its not just a tele to get you back up the smg bridge is very nice and must have been tricky The blocking off is very good may i suggest if you have it saved putting it out as a canvas map The weapon and vechile layout seems well thought out if a little overpowered but it is a big open map so i'm sure it will work fine I also would have added the juicy filter to make it look better Great work something different and a refreshing change from foundry maps i can't wait to play it 5/5 i can download your weapon layout video as mp4{using this link http://luigi.gamevee.com/video/29/540296.mp4} can you or is it still quicktime pm me
I don't really like adding filters, they're nice and all, but they take away the classic effect, and thanks for the large comment! I also don't like the foundry "craze" it's been going for far too long, but I think that new map editor will help with that. Also, i'll change the 2nd gamevee thing so I can embed it too.
Er1c0 you have outdone yourself this time. I love all your maps especially since sky island 4 was alot bigger but this one is just amazing. Well done 5/5
THis looks pretty good and fun.I like the logo picture for the map it looks pretty cool.This map is simple but looks fun
