subtractive versus additive

[navboy]

General mapping philosophy question:

It seems like i've noticed less "weird stuff" happening the fewer subtractive brushes i use in a map.

However, it seems like i can usually construct some given architecture with less nodes using mainly subtractive brushes as opposed to building the same thing using mainly additive brushes. Which approach is better? Am i just seeing a pattern that isn't there when i'm thinking subtractive brushes tend to cause more problems than additive brushes, even though you end up with less nodes?

I think probably Mothra would win in a straight fight, simply through size and range, but possibly Rick Moranis might be able to surprise Mothra by turning into a Terror Dog. It remains to be seen.

no way man Giant sea Snail would kick mothra arse any day of the week.

BTW whos faster Superman or the flash

Well, unless they all ganged up on him, like they did in "Destroy all Monsters", King Ghidorah would just beat the pants off of any one of them. Mecha-Godzilla might fare okay... but what do I know? I've never actually seen Megalon or Biollante in action.

Going back to CSG:

I don't know. I may have to conduct some tests. A map I'm making for Freedom at the moment will mostly contain additives, and I plan to stick to the biggest grid size possible, seeing as its a big city-type thing. I'll let you know how it goes.

Yeah but whos faster Superman or The Flash

[Nachimir]

I don't know. I was only ever into Batman when I was younger, then got into... weird stuff, like Cerebus. But Ghidorah would beat them both, anyway.

Superman can go flying around the world so fast that he goes back in time (somehow).

I don't think the Flash can do that.

Ha, there's a big poster saying that on the wall outside the Salvation Army near my house. I thought it was funny...
