Water maps/enemies

Does anyone here know whether it is possible to create a mission using map(s) with water on it and water creatures? I have in mind an ocean or bay with Mako-like custom creatures in it.

There is the Leviathan cave, which has a watery look, but is rather annoying to navigate, as well as being mostly empty when you use it in MA. Some of the Cimeroran caves also have a room with water in it. There are also outdoor maps with water, such as the Grandville beach map, one of the "forest" maps, the St Martial map, and the Mercy Island docks map, but none of them have spawn points in the water.

For your customs, the closest you could get to "water" is giving them ice powers, which could be annoying if all the customs have them, due to stacking slows.

Thanks for the quick reply. The important part of my question is whether groups might spawn in the water and if not then I'll go with another concept. As far as 'water powers' go, I was looking more at melee-type Mako-like sharks in the water rather than any controller-type effects. I don't like the idea of shark-like creatures on the land, so it looks like back to the drawing board on this one.

I think the best water map is the Outdoor - Nerva one. I think it's called Primera (but I can't double check because I don't have CoX access, atm).

For a melee-like 'Mako'; I'd go with Claws/???.

Hey I just happened to notice this... Im actually making an AE arc to run with my RP group, and our RP toons are all fish people so Im trying to find as many water maps as possible...

I really want to incorporate the leviathan cave that you mentioned... do you or anyone else know if that map is available on AE? I cant seem to find it... Im thinking maybe its called something else? (I unlocked ALL the map packs from AE... ) Please let me know if you get a chance, it would be most appreciated! Thanks!

The race for our fish people is called Serrellians and the link to our forum is http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showt...92#post3416892
