Step 1: Create map and package it properly, see mapping tutorials

Step 2: Convince people to download it and play it instead of the other maps

Step 3: Repeat step 2 so you can make changes to pathfinding, cover, etc.

-Repeat step 3 as necessary, it gets harder to get playtesters each time

Step 4: Introduce map to launcher, attempt to have people play it

Step 5: Realize that if it is not a flat map, with a small village/scattered buildings and some hedges without complicating features it will not get played.

Step 6: Stop mapping

Like Jesus, Keeps died for us

He made a funny thread for bear, and got banned.

Now bear makes his own funny thread. It's unsurprisingly not funny.

Keeps died for our funny threads.
