Story:

The Ottoman Turks used newly invented gunpowder in cannons to destroy the walls around Constantinople. Once it fell, the Turks rushed into the city, conquering much of it. What was at first thought of as the cities last stand was a battle fought at a nearby building named the "Acropolis." The Turks won this battle, but some Byzantine soldiers managed to escape the Acropolis during the battle and took refuge in a small temple located in the mountains north of Acropolis. For 50 years they hid in this temple, which they named the Temple of Atlas. They established a small village there, and trained soldiers to fight against the Ottomans, in an attack they had planned.

Soon, an Ottoman brigade discovered the Temple of Atlas and dug tunnels leading into it. On April 30, 1365 the Ottoman military launched an attack on the Temple of Atlas through the tunnels they had dug. They came through the tunnels at night and slaughtered the guards who were holding Turkish prisoners of war near where their tunnels came in. They then found their way to the underground creek, and mine; the Ottoman military stayed there and waited until the next night. Slowly they creeped though the city killing anyone in their way, until a Byzantine brigade spotted one of the Ottomans. At that time all hell broke lose. The Byzantine military attacked with full force, but the damage was already too bad, the Byzantine couldn’t do anything, there were just too many of them. Blood poured onto the streets, parentless children cried; they feared the this was the end of the Byzantine empire. The Ottoman soldiers took everyone else, who were still alive, as prisoners and began to head back, but then a Byzantine brigade who had been guarding the other side of the Temple, sees foot prints leading from the battle seen along with a trail of blood. Discovering the Turks invasion of their village, they plan an ambush.

Map description:

The map is a small map that includes four well constructed floors for gameplay and many tunnels. On the top there is the ground that includes a house, temple, sniper bunker, cove, waterfall, mine shaft, and more. Then there is a sort of "aqueduct" feel to the first layer of tunnels because of The water from the waterfall.These tunnels are stand up tunnels and they have 5 entrances to the ground above,and they have 2 entrances to the next layer underground.When you jump down from the 1st tunnel leyer you have two options, you can go to the left and go on the bottom floor where the dungeon is at or you can take a right and go through a layer of crouching tunnels. If you pick the right you can take another right and go up the mine shaft to the top of the level or you can take a left and go to some stand up tunnels.In the stand up tunnels there is a series of holes that you can go down to the bottom layer of crouching tunnels, but you must watch out for traps.Scattered around the map is some unresistable traps that take you to the dungeon and makes you kill yourself or stay in there and wait for someone to kill you.

Wow. I have never seen this map before. That's really weird for me. Anyway, it looks amazing. I'm surprised I haven't seen this. The middle structure is nice and the rest looks clean. So 4.7/5 and a download would be satisfactory. Congrats on the feature!

There's only a few here to keep the post a little smaller, and so it's the same amount as others, however if you follow the link at the bottom to their original thread, you can find some more pictures.

Holy crap this map looks nice. Beautifully interlocked (one of the best box floors I've ever seen) and very well-planned. I'm a big fan of storylines myself (go look at ANY of my maps... especially 007 if you're really bored and want a good read) so I definately approve of that.

As for the map design itself, it's probably just me, but I really don't like crouching tunnels. They can get really annoying really fast. On the other hand, most normal people say that hiding in one conveys a real sense of fear and urgency, so I'm not gonna knock the tunnels. I just don't like em.

I would like a better description of the "traps" that await those who take a misstep (other than the dungeon), are they like dumpster-smash-puny-human traps or fusion coils or is it just the dungeon?

All in all, from what I can see, this looks like it'd be WAY fun, especially for small team games. Doubles, maybe? 4 man FFA? In any case, I'll have to DL and check it out as soon as my XBox is working again, but for now 4/5

This is like absolutely amazing. 4.99999999213/5. The only reason you don't get a perfect score is because the tunnels with he water might cause some confusion shooting/ grenade wise, but it seems like it works really well anyway. Good job, and keep up the amazing forging! =)
