Description

This is a map that we thought was fitting for Sandbox, because of the sandy landscape and distant setting/rising(?) sun. We also wanted to build it because we had heard that other forgers had created Pyramids etc. so we decided to make a Sphinx!

The sphinx is hollow and can be entered through the tail/rear-end. Inside there is a stone platform with a mancannon that leads you up to the head. In the head there is a (default) closed mouth. If you shoot the fusion coil, it will make activate the switch, and the mouth will be opened! Feel free to jump inside the mouth, if you enjoy being "nommed" by Sphinx's.

This is simply an Aesthetic map, so there isn't any gametypes offered etc, so just feel free to check it out!

This map made me lol. =). I think the sphinx looks really great, especially the face, it looks really angry. Also the tail/tunnel thing looks kinda disturbing. The chamber inside is really great and I love the mouth switch! I suppose the only improvement I could see would be to make it more realistic as opposed to just being a kind of 'cartoony' face.

5/5, keep making more!

That would be very sweet.
I'll download this when the map packs become open to the public.
Anyone know when? If so please let meh know.
.. So i can trade in Halo Wars for some micro points -,-..

wow, this map surprised me. it just looked like some huge showoffy aesthetic piece not intended for gameplay. i thought it would be a solid aesthetic statue, but it is hollow [epic]. also, the idea about the opening mouth is pure genius.

We could probably incorporated that with a lot of work (moving stuff around etc. so, maybe we will release a version 2!

Thanks for the comments guys.

This looks awesome, but the face looks weird. Someone could use this as a center item in a map. 3/5

Orig-in-al! Is what I like...I would of never thought of this..amazing...and not only did you just make it your able to go inside AND it has a switch. The only thing I could see changed is his front legs and his tail the legs seem blocky and the tail seems out of place...you should try to make his legs more rounded to look more like legs and this tail should be something other than tubes and point at the end.. ;) 4/5 and a DL

PS: If you do make a v2 you should set it up for like One flag and One bomb to make it actually playable! Like ad a base or hut behind the Thingy (Forgot the name and didn't scroll up) and make that the attackers base have cover and structures around it to make it actually playable ;)

Great map, especially the mouth switch! The only thing you should fix is the eyes, it looks like an asian sphinx.
4.5/5 for design, since that's all that should be rated. And if you design it for a gametype like 1-bomb or 1-flag, make multiple entrances.

Ehh,its all right.The eyes make a big difference.It makes him loke like a dope.
Also the structure is so nice and smooth.Very good job dude,and you even put bridges that weren't needed,nice.4/5.Asethicly awsome.
