Hello and welcome to the Forest Nothing section. This part of the site contains general information on the forest nothing maps as well as playing tips and strategies.  The Information here is not official and is only intended to be used as reference material in hopes of improving your game play or to be of general interest. We have several different FN maps to down load along with various information on each one. This should help you get an idea of  how each map differs form the next. If you are new to FN and would like to improve your FN playing skill level then we have some playing tips for you. If you are already an accomplished FN player and would like to add any information to this site then we will welcome your input. Please use the link on the left which will take you to our forums.

The original FN (forest nothing) map was made by Roy. You may know him currently as  HHB_Lancia  but  who is also founder and clan leader of the WTF clan (Delta). He came up with the idea of making the FN map long ago and whilst  being  a member of the original HHB he decided  to get it off the ground.  As Holzhacker Buben roughly translates to Bavarian Lumber cutters (or something like that) it seemed that it was the right time to do this It was made originally as a custom scenario map and had fixed positions for each Base. After playing a few times he was asked to make it into a Random map. He did this using the normal forest trees (forest nothing) which were much harder to play with than the now used Jungle trees. In those early days a good cut time was around 2 hours of game time play.  After  a while he made a second Random map and called it forest nothing 2 This was a map that would generate  either Pine or Jungle trees at random. Deciding that jungle was the way forward he constructed the FN3 that was all jungle. Some other variants have been recently made called FN edge gr. This is the same as Jungle map but bases are closer to the middle. There is also an FN lake with a lake in the middle well stocked with fish, so this should be called forest fish in my opinion.

It was hard to get an FN game in the early days but while playing at GamePark a few players took to the map and started playing regular games. It has taken a long time and many hours of trying to persuade players to just have a go at it but it  has now become very popular.  Now at IGZs Forest nothing has a large following of all levels of players. You can find a game or two every night. The game has become very competitive and the 2 hour cut time is now nearly halved depending on the team tactics.

We would like to finish off this history by thanking Roy for creating this map that has become loved by so many players.

All the maps are available to DL from this web site.
