I think Iran is the only map here that give you an impact of a real thing.

True, the introduction of new listed maps would be very good. Imagine what it would be like to fight in Egypt and the pyramids. Unique maps would be cool. Thanks for understanding our idea.

A few of these maps remind me of WoT.

It would be good to introduce such maps and in tanki online. We didn’t take ideas from WoT, but came up with them ourselves. The maps do not have to be the same as in other games. Tanki should be unique game.

Technically, all the current maps use the same set of "props", aka...structure types. So creating new maps with things like Eiffel towers in them will most likely take a while, due to the fact new "props" will have to be made and programmed in order to build the tower, in a way that it actually looks like the tower.

The quicker way is to build an Eiffel Tower using existing props in the game....but pretty sure it would turn out looking weird cause the metal gridded props we have now, don't curve in the shape that's needed for the Eiffel Tower.

Btw, this applies for other "landmarks", not just the Eiffel Tower. I simply used it as an example.

 

 

Otherwise, its a great idea. We've been needing new maps for a while now. the last new one was Archipelago I believe.

Announcement,

Go join the mapmakers club on discord if you want to work on the club map.  It's downloadable there.

Take a base map and do your thing with it, that simple.  It only has three rules to follow.  You'll submit and I and the others will comment on it.  I'll make a video of it too and feature it on my channel, and others might too, show casing your map.

So hurry up, lets have some fun.

Hello,

I have some suggestion for developers, how they can relatively "easilly" make the game like thousand times more fun via the maps. I think everyone loves to be creative and would LOVE something like your community mapmaker implemented in the game it self. 

I think it would be really cool, if players in the game had a chance to make their own map and play on it for example with their friends. 

AND, you can do it even smarter. This, if executed properly, can kill multiple flies in one punch. Let me give you an example. Im sorry if it will sound naive.

Currently in the game a lot of players loved the old PRO battles, your current maps look really outdated you are not even releasing new. You can do following: Precisely prepare a really BIG update in which you include new textures, elements, buildings and so on. You could this way update the look of current maps. Next you take your map making engine, and optimize it. You can make it really user friendly with some nice interface like in the current HTML 5 version and free. (And even some premium features for some paid pass or make it a license for crystals as old PRO battle pass.) Then you can implement it in the fitting way in the game. Now you have powerfull tool for players to make their own map and for example save it on their account or computer. Than the can play on it with friends and invent some minigames, etc. You can even make some cool competitions and contests with atractive prizes and even making the winning map official in game. This way you can overcome affort connected with making new maps and pour a whole new life in this game with such a big potential. 

Even the last update with smoky HD, new augments and new free to play way to obtain containers shows that your developer team is capable and detrmined. Just go on and make this game popular again. I believe in you. And you must too.

Im looking for bright future. 

Regards loving player who is sometimes dissapointed by the lost opportunities. But hopes and believes.

I love everything you said there, but I have to mention a few things. 

1st - About tanki getting another player's map, they won't do because I heard from a friend they got a map from a regular player, they only changed the supplies drop boxes and that player sued them, so either they make a official helper role for mapmaking or they won't release any maps ever again, I'd love to see a mapmaking helper or it could be even a designer.

2nd - Releasing a map into PRO battles and not MM is out of the point for tanki, they are focusing on MM only and not PRO battles, so if we wanna have a new map in the game, it will most likely be MM exclusive so they gain players and make them play for the new map. 

3rd - About remaking every map, it is indeed possible with HTML5, I'm not into coding, but I believe they can make something, also the old buildings and no environmental change really does make tanki look a bit different, I really enjoyed the last graphics update about bushes, totally nailed it.

4th - If you are talking about players changing game files, that's a big no, it is against rule and punishable, so they'll never let players to change a old existing map to their own hearts content, if I understood wrongly please correct me. 

5th - A contest and for the winning prize of actually introducing the map would be lovely, Tanki would gain a lot of attention at that moment there, but we should extend it to top 3 winners, when's the last time we actually got a map introduced in the game ? I believe it was deck - 9 with that other map, forgot the name, was it 2016 they both got released back in the game, deck - 9 is a old map. 

 

I hope you all realise a lot of people wish to see new content rather than new augments or whatever. I hope we can see some maps after they finish redesigning hulls and turrets because it seems like they are going for a futuristic look so the maps could also be futuristic with street lamps and night mode ? 

That's all from me for now, peace.

Yeah sorry, i expressed it wrong. I just meant that every player would have some limitted database of maps, they can in-game save attached to their profile. (I just dont knew if it can be done on actual device, or by server only.) On the note of your 2nd paragraph i could argument that they can (by that map update) transform the existing PRO battles and cleverly transform it to a place, where players can be creative. They obviously couldnt obtain any if some small rewards from that, though. But the concept is that it can benefit not only by the popularity and fun, but even trough creative ideas of the whole community. For example you can make some in-game weekly event, where players will get some assignment for map and they will make map. Than it would be evaluated and the winners map gets a chance to become one of MM battles for lets say a weekend or so. (And it could be perriodic and automated.) And there would be a TON of ideas from other players, like some in-battle improvised minigames, that i mentioned upper in my first comment.

Thanks for your comment and opinion, it means a lot.

I think I understand what you mean now, you mean add a unofficial map on your client but not change the files, that's possible in World of Warcraft too, since Blizzard Entertainment stopped making maps players decided to make maps for it and others can download them and play with bots. I'm sure that's what you mean. 

Also np.

 maps to tank ratio should be large

You mean player density? So all maps should have fewer players on them?

I think you have to explain your idea in more than 2 sentences..

Do you mean the map size will become bigger depending on the number of players?

Or you mean the current maps are too small, so Tanki should make a Huge maps?

i mean just reduce the tank size make it smaller ...in simple terms / but what i mean is increase obstacle size ..

give some maps ...but those maps to tank ratio should be large unlike those of present once 

this will make tanki more skill full .. like this image

This would be kinda cool. Let's hope this is something the Devs can pull off, if it ever happens.

I like the concept, but there potentially becomes a problem for people that like getting high-kill games, as a lower number of players in battle or a lower player density would most likely lead to high-kill games being much more difficult, and people that like playing for that sole purpose probably wouldn't be appreciative of the change as a result.
