Back-Story:
This olden structure was once a shrine held in the highest honor of Ethoxia’s people and is now abandoned and devoid of life. Archaeologists rediscovered this relic and were astounded from its sheer height. High above everything stands a circular tower with azure colored flames circling it. A walkway spans the space around the tower leading from one formation to the next. The researchers found a fascinating substance that if touched caused the individual to blend in with the surrounding area. However during certain times in the year another appealing essence materialized granting super-human strength to the personage holding it. Teams of researchers have been sent to investigate these ruins further.
Origin:
Exalted was made with asymmetrical gametypes in mind. Back in July of 2008 I showed InferiorPigeon a base design I had made in the middle of Foundry. It's safe to say that he instantly had a million and one ideas rush through his head, and asked if I wanted to make a collaborative map. Thus Exalted was born. We had to remake and move my original base design, but this allowed us to shift it to its present location: where Yellow Base is now.
After countless hours of starting new rounds, fixing what we screwed up with the budget glitch, and perfecting the geomerging, we finished what we thought to believe the final product. We submitted Exalted to be tested, and tested it was. Some of the finest members of the Testers Guild helped test Exalted to the extreme. We fixed all the little problems the Guild found, luckily for us there were not that many, and submitted it for testing again. After that test, this is what the final version became.
Overview:
Recommended Players: 2-8
My preference: 6
Exalted is, in a sense, asymmetrically symmetric. Weapons on both sides are the same, and layout is roughly the same, however, there is a very noticeable difference in the two. There are three bases, and the two starting bases have 2 BRs each. The Neutral Base has 3 Carbines. There are 2 Shotguns on the far ends of both sides. There is one Sniper Rifle leaning against the tower on the side nearest the Neutral Base. If you consider the Needler to be a power weapon, it is in the tunnel under the Neutral Base. Active Camo spawns only in Symmetric games, such as 2 Flag, or Slayer. However, during Asymmetrical games, it does not spawn. Instead an OverShield spawns in the same spot. Assault games switches things up a bit, by switching the attacking and defending base. The layout is easy to understand, starting from one base is a catwalk that leads to the neutral base, then continues into the other base. Or, you can traverse the floor and make your way into whatever base you want.
Here is a rough layout I made using Foundry Designer:
