That looks really good man. The 2nd one in particular looks fun, if not a little complicated.

The question is whether or not the game can handle altitudes. At the moment, the game is played on one flat plane with no slopes/vertical differences. Abilities and would be affected and I'm not sure (as i know nothign about coding) but including seperate vertical heights might be impossible if it wasn't written into the original program. Would also have to be checked for exploits (I can see a Regulus standing on one of the routes that goesw ABOVE another one and sniping down at someone who can't do anything to close distance.

On the other hand the idea is awsome, I'd love to have maps that get a little more complicated than the ones we see right now. Kudos for brining it up.

It's really a cool idea. Just wondering if there was a specific reason you didn't have creeps going down both lanes. For the first map, giving the top lane to blue just gives them the advantage since they have more sight like you said. I think creeps should puch in both lanes evenly. Otherwise, besides the possible coding restrictions, it sounds awesome.

EDIT: 

good point

@TknTnT

i was thinking about some problems liek that... maybe later i'll edit the design a bit so the top and bottom loop have a cross road somewhere in there.  thank for the input.

@ToxDrawace

Sorry for the confusion, all the maps above are suppost to have creeps pushing from both directions.  if you look closely u can see that i put a dirrent colour arrow at the other end of the line (this is suppost to represent both creeps)

@devvs

Does anyone actually know if Demigod has the ability to do altitues?

ok ok... so looks like bridges might be too advanced for Demigods right now

another idea i though thou would rather than briges how about a tunnel system like Dragoran12 mentioned.  simply put it would be a 2-way portal on each end of the lanes so rather than them physicly going under the lane they just get teleported to the other side.  is that more resonable for the engine?

very cool map,

this could easily be fixed, just put a vertical line down the middle of the map which joins the lanes together

if elivated levels to the map were possible the range advantage could be delt with having the height of the bridges larger than the range of the abilities.  so say Erebus's Bat swarm has a range of 7 (guess) then that means that the height needs to be around 10.  only abilities i can see being able to shoot down would be Reguls's Snipe since its massive already. 

also, on a side note.  Erebus and Torch can already "skip" lanes on some of the tighter ones like Zikurat when u can attack or escape to another lane.

[EDIT]

after some time on photshop i re did a few of the pics in acordance to ur suggestions.

first one here is redoing the cross roads so that you can jump between lanes... though the grunts still run around the loop.

as you can see the red parts are the edited ones

next one is an idea for using portals instead of tunnels/bridges. 

here u can see the grunts simply teleport to the other side of the lane.

Let me know wat you think.

I have to Agree here... This game was written the way it is to allow a special zoom feature.  if you're under a bridge, how is the game supposed to zoom you in correctly? I've played countless games that 3D maps cause problems.  Now I could see other possibilies like maybe having a map that has blockades that need destroyed before any troops can pass. Opening up another path way. Like in Team Fortress 2, most maps have a wall or something that once you break it open, you've opened a back door.  But the game how it's designed is great.  You want to add some serious lag, make the entire thing 3D.  Someone like myself has no worries with my $5000 in computer equipment. But I can't say that about someone with a $600 computer trying to just make it by and currently enjoying the game at low resolutions.  Playability is often something that has to be taken into account for all genre of gamers and computer types.

The map is a great idea and looks sweet, points to you. But I'd suggest sticking the current 3D/2D map style design for now. What would be great is if they allowed us a map builder, and just make our own maps to play and be downloaded.

if you hold spacebar you can rotate the map as well as go down to the demigod's levels and look as if you are on the path. isn't the ideal camera angle, but it works.

i really like this idea and your design is quite good.

the biggest concern is going to be visual presentation though. it might get really hard to see where you are if you're under a bridge. 

If I am reading the map right, which I could possibly be doing wrong, it seems as though the north and south loops are pointless. It appears it would function as a two lane map with extra looping (sort of like the far left path creeps ignore on Exile) that would be largely ignored because of the tactical insignifigance.

interesting....

as for ProximityFixed  i think u might have it wrong.  basicly there are two loops one inside another.  if you look at the third picture in the original post you can see the red arrow do the full loop.  this would be the path the grunts take... meaning they would be back trtackig on their selves (so pathing and waypoints would be needed).

however if you look at reply eleven (11) then you can see i changed the map up a bit so the cross isn't until the first intersection.  however with bridges or portals then grunts will still do the full loop before hitting the citadel.

@Exterm123

love the idea for transparent bridges... might even be easier to make glass or crystal bridges so its always transparent.  but the problem is that dev's seem to be ignoring this section of the forums so we might never know if bridges are even possible.

well if u look at the map u can see that in order for the creeps to meet at the cross road then the 2nd wave needs to be spawned around when the 1st wave is 1/3 way around the loop.  this means that there would only be 4 waves of grunts at max going around.  that 16 waves max if all sides magiclty made it each citadel withought fighting.  even on brother there are way more than that many units on the map late game so i think it should be fine.
