Bastille has reworked the Scattered Hills map, which many of you will remember - this is a nasty, mountainous map in the Badlands region with chasms spanned by bridges. In the time since it was last used, the bridges have been destroyed and circuitous alternative routes now twist around the landscape.

Bast's version is pretty nice, as you'll see.. there's a couple of jumpable gaps.. if you're brave enough..

Back in the days when the people in BL could be counted on 1 hand, I jumped a phoenix into those chasms more than once to try and escape a pirate onslaught. Seemed about a 50/50 shot for making it back then hehe

Just been on it, "jumpable gaps" is an overstatement, there's one that's very tempting & looks easy enough in fast car, & the rest I've seen are twisted bridges that not even a Tuttle would attempt.

First Failure :)

Tire and armor damage on those bridges is a bit high

Edit:

If at first you don't succeed... light your engine on fire - did it :)

SH may be impassible for lorrys

Not that there's anything wrong with that, but I can't imagine a Lorry could've survived this ambush

Edit: Unavoidable tire damage is fairly high. I seem to be getting this map A LOT too

ahh, the good old days

just before I start getting a hail of rocks and shoes thrown, I made no changes to the rocks. Just the paths that go over them :rolleyes:

Thats a pretty nasty spawn spot alright. If you had 2400CR of goods, you'd be holding up their and hoping for some kinda divine intervention.

SH is a bit grindy

S494554

I would pay a fortune just to fix one of those damn bridges - having to navigate 2-3 canyons for each travel is not too fun

Also unless I have somehow offended the gods of probability I get this map almost every time - where the heck did the other GW->BL travel maps go?

i had two buzzers go into a mad dance and fly off them at 300mph

that was fun

but i REALLY wish you would put it back in ... WITH THE BRIDGES

and only ever have ambush spawns on it..

they were the best ambush spawns in the game and the game is much the poorer for losing them


it should never have been removed.. it was buggy and the Ai struggled with it but it was also fun.. and the game is supposed to be fun

you don't lika the short (long) cuts?

New ambushes should be fun here too on these bits, Im hoping. Juris' replay seems to be set up pretty nice, and this should make for some wicked mayhem.

Thats a thought, and would be... somewhat possible?

this is an excellent map for my favorite type of escapes! the low speed 35 Mph kind where you can laugh at the AI for being unable to drive like a human.

First few times I tried to stay on the road. that was rough on my tires! so next I tried jumping but my eaton bunnyhopped on hitting the ramp, then landed on the lip of the ramp, skiffed it, did an airborne barrel roll, landed roof first in the superstructure and fell to the bottom of the canyon with very little damage. so I drove through the canyon and the AI just stopped and watched in awe of my greatness

Then I realized they dont like driving in the canyon, and the canyon does less damage to your tires than the road!

sweet.

Give the AI a few weeks, Crispin.. they need a bit of time to build up their knowledge of the map; after that, hopefully their pathfinding will improve.
