The Fortress


The Fortress
Created by superMATTsuper

Fortresses were common in the middle ages, with towering walls and battlements and towers. 2-8 Players

_____

Description:
This map was designed for all game types, though particularly with one-sided objective games in mind, such as one-bomb or one flag.

The map is divided into two by a large wall, with a gatehouse. The wall has two staircases on the defenders side of it. To get on top of the gatehouse, jump on one of the doors on the wall, then up to the turret, BR and SR!

The attackers have large amounts of cover, as well as extra equipment and two watchtowers with SR, accessible via teleporters in their bases.

The defenders have a 'stable', where their vehicles respawn (NOTE - all vehicles spawn after 30 seconds).

The defenders main structure is the castle. It is possible to access the upper levels by jumping onto the garbage bins.

Enjoy this map! It's my second one...

I think you could have made this a lot better, but hey, it looks cool. The two towers could have been placed a lot farther from each other, or maybe have a bridge connecting the towers.At least that's would I have done. And fix the design. Other than that, it looks enjoyable.

And a tip: Remove the powerups.

From the pic's i can only see one way in and that's through the main gate, maybe you can put in a part of the wall that's broken or a secret tunnel in. It make's the game better if you put multiple ways in.

Fixed.

OP:
From what I can see, this map is not very original. I'm sure you are already aware of this, though. I can see that your map has some forging skills, such as interlocking, so I know you took some time to make this. I would suggest that you take some time to make this map have more of an "original feeling" to it. This map has potential and I hope you can achieve it.

Please, add more to your post. Really, if you have nothing decent to say, don't say anything at all.

The map just seems a little bit too open and plain. If you added some cover and spiced up the bases, I'm sure this would turn out great. But, for now I'm going to have to give it a 3/5.

Well I see what you have done here. Starting out this map is fairly simple in design, and although it might not have a certain flare to attract its simplicity may yet work. Albeit the fact that many people seek outstanding aesthetics bar none to forge pros, I think you'll find that some of the most innovative forgers are those who find the brilliance in simplicity. The map looks good, playable and durable. Your forging isn't over the top but everything works, all is in order and everything is straight.

Really I might suggest perhaps for a future works to make something using more of the space of Foundry available to you. Although cutting Foundry in half can be a great idea it can also limit things. Maybe try a something with more walkways and ramps at varying heights. Maybe make more enclosed areas and hallways. Cut off lines of sight, open them up, play around and make things interesting. But this, this is a good start. Simple and solid are great for a good foundation for later works.
