Description "Air is the element of freedom. The air nomads detached themselves from worldly concerns and found peace and freedom. Also, they apparently had pretty good senses of humor :D"
- Iroh, fugitive of the Fire Nation

#4 of the Elements Series [nmaps.net]
Air is a 2 part map (which almost resembles freedom). The inside path captures the circular flow and the avoid-and-evade fighting style that is air bending. The outside captures the free-fall and the jumping-around (hence the chimneying) that resembles how air benders travel, as well as the safety from danger as long as you stay airborne. There may be a few minor flaws, but this map turned out as good as the rest, though I regret that I did not bring out any flexibility that would've qualified for freedom.

The very end may be a little tricky. Make sure you hit the very top of the launch pad. If you're confused, I can always provide a demo.

Special thanks to AVATAR_FANATIC [nmaps.net] for helpful information and enthusiasm.

Selected Demo upon request.

AVATAR_FANATIC might want to check this ending quote:

Zuko: Why are you telling me these things?
Iroh: It is important to draw wisdom from another source. If you take it from only one source it becomes rigid and stale. Understanding others, the other elements, the other nations, will make you become whole.
Zuko: All this four elements talk is sounding like Avatar stuff.
Iroh: It is the combination of the four elements in one person that makes the Avatar so powerful. But it can make you more powerful too.

Comments

I just thought these 4 were a sort of build up to it but its nice to see you haven't left.
my 100th map isn't related to the Elements series at all.
And as soon as I am able to finish it (my weekend is free, not that I'm promising a completion), I will submit it within the week.
For my sesquicentennial map (or sesquicent-N-ial), anyone may kindly remind me to start working on it way earlier.
that would be like the end of the Italian job thoroughly unsatisfying :(
Seriously, e-mail me.

TECHNO!!!!

You're starting to piss me off. WHERE'S YOUR 100TH MAP?!?!?!

Come on man!

Wheres the 100th?

hmm...

that last map by RF, I had already given my opinion of his map.

But you could have a point. I don't know of many other times when I did that; however, if you are right, that makes me a little hypocritical by advising someone against leaving an unrelated comment on my maps.
From now on, I'll watch myself when I comment other maps about its relation to the map.
I've seen plenty of long winded comments from you on other's maps that have nothing to do with the map itself.

Stop being so precious, hm?

Eganic

you're funny! :D

thankyou

lol
But I really didn't like the aesthetics. The gold was somewhat overdone.. Still, tis a nice map.

3.5 down

awwe...

I tried that and made sure it wouldn't work...

You know what? I'm not gonna get mad about it this time. It still turned out how I wanted it to be, for the most part.

HMMM...

i cheated death

By mine...

...I meant floor guard. I don't know why I said mine. :P

Happy?

but seriously this is a good map and i've rated and commented at all your other element series.
that most people wont directly try to find a connection

sounds good

remember to do something special for your 100th

Of course not

but it will probably make some people look at it a different way. Just might not be what you want
in his featured maps, 2 are from elemental. The maps in those are the best races I have played, as in better than crazy miner and that stuff. It just seems wierd to use the name of a series that has so much fame already.

Wow

this is pretty fun.
4/5
I'll check out the rest of the series.
it sounds bad after destiny used it. Call it Avatar or "bending" or something different. I dont know. just sounds kinda wierd.

Heheh. :3

Congrats!

oh!

noted. I'm still glad, though. It was, at one point, my first 5.

Maybe.

But acting like that attracts them. :/
it could've just been a low 5 at first.
That's exactly what a sniper looks for before sniping. ;_;

Decent.

I dig the tiles. The launchpad stuff didn't turn out too good, though. :/
The inside was wayyyy better then the outside.
3.5^

I've demoed

all of them all agds except the fire one which I might do another day along with 100 just to make it complete now bed

ha-HA!

Now I feel like these maps got the recognition they deserved from how much time I spent on them.

My first 5 rated map!

cool

I like the tiles of these maps
agd I was originally going for a good one but found it hard so decided to settle for this slow one.

ps that wasn't really what I meant I meant I posted within 15 seconds of the map being posted but I didn't actually cause numa told me the wrong time
Demo Data

wow

Im not going to lie...those swirls gave me a headache and were mezmerizing. Lol but couldnt beat it completly :( 4.5
and I'm not sure what mine you are talking about. You must've loaded it wrong.
...but I have to say, you really captured airbending. Though, I may have added something in the middle of the swirls, so you can go through them. Still, I loved the whole series and sorry, I was gonna give you that quote, but I didn't know if you wanted it. Again, thanks for the deds and the series in general. 5aved. =D

well, I time them

the delay is based on how long it took to submit it.

within

15 seconds
