Central Campus 2 Better map for 2-3 players, bases: 9, pillboxes:11
Central Campus 3 Expanded map for 3-5 players, bases:10, pillboxes:13
The Central Campus maps are based on the layout of the Central Washington University building and road structures at CWU in Ellensburg, Washington. The school is set in a plain surrounded by low hills. Winters are cold and white, while summers are hot and windy. The northern edge of the Campus map is bounded by 18th Street, the western edge by D Street, the southern edge by 8th Avenue, and the eastern edge by Alder Street. The islands are additions to the map, but are not actually part of the CWU campus. Nearly all building on campus are included on the Campus map.
Central Campus 2 is the author's favorite for 2-3 players or computer opponents. It has been played extensively using Bolo 0.997 against the Standard Autopilot and Maxwell 1.4 computer Brains. Central Campus 3 is a slight modification to the Campus 2 map, with the additions of another island in the southeast corner, one more base, two more pillboxes, and some movements of bases, pillboxes, and foliage.
The above maps were created with BoloMapEditor and BoloStar 1.5. The maps are also included in this archive as PICTs for thumbnail reference or printing. The PICTs were created by saving a screen shot from BoloStar 1.5 with pillbox range turned on, then cropped and converted with Graphic Converter 2.0.9 to PICT format with QuickTime compression using Graphic mode and Best quality. PICTs are viewable using SimpleText and most Graphic Editing programs.
The author would like to thank Tom Barrett and Keith Fry for their BoloMapEditor and BoloStar 1.5. He would also like to thank Stuart Chesire for his great network game
Bolo.
