Viaduct Preview

Created By: Hank102938

I've been digging through my unfinished maps and this one that I started on a month or so ago came up and caught my eye. In the past few days I've been working on it, and its coming together rather quickly and I feel that it will be a rather good map that many will like, hopefully.

Preview Picture:

Here you can see the Main bridge area. The only thing that is done is really the bridge deck and underdeck(wood planks) that you maybe able to see. As well as the 'supports'. I don't plan on adding more supports because it would be too crowed and the angle would be low enough to walk up and I don't want that.

I plan to have add much more to the layout... Including alternate ways to get between the bases than just the underdeck and main deck of the bridge. Plus there will be a two or three story base at each end of the bridge... you can see that I've started on those slightly. It should end up with a Construct kind of feel to it.
If you have any suggestions, I'm listening, so let me hear them.

So, I hope you all look for Viaduct in the Competative map section in a few weeks or so.

Reminds me of narrows. I wonder why.

What you have so far looks very nice, and the bases on either end seem like a good idea. You should add some other alternative paths across like a mancannon such as that on Narrows or a few catwalks. And right now, it's a little lacking in aesthetics, although I'm sure you'll think of something to make the map more pleasing to the eye.

So let me get this straight, your building what construct was originally planned to be? A huge three base on each side map with a narrow bridge in the middle? Cool.

Let me know if you need testing. GT on left.

Looks like its coming together real nicely, now ever mix it up a bit by making the bases different and non symmetrical. both of them don't have too be 3 stories either! you could make one base 2 stories but more area coverd, and the other base 3 stories with the same amount of area going up instead of out. You get what i mean? think about crushing a marsh mellow. it is shorter, but wider and flat.

Haha I like the way you put that. I think it might be neat to make 2 asymmetrical bases connected by a bridge. Have you put thought in to how you are going to connect them other than the 2 bridges?

well I'm taking consideration that you are a good enough forger too not worry about connecting the bases . tbh i think you should do what ever comes too mind and what ever seems cool in the map, and chances are, if you go for it, every one else well think the same! :)

I've actually thought about making the map have symetrical bases, but still map it have only one line of division. Like on the different sides of the bridge have like... well look at this...

``````............
....''''''````|```'''''....
B ========== B
\____'''____'''____/

Ok the = is the main bridge. ` are just fillers and mean nothing. The ...''' represents a curved flat path that would be one block above the bridge deck and connect to the top of each base. Then the | shows that that connects to the main deck and underdeck. Then the other side shows a path that connects to the main deck and underdeck where the ''''' are and the _ are paths a little below the underdeck and they connect into the basement of the bases.

oh yea, i can see it now! *A master piece starting with keys from a key board* In all honesty, that was the most hard blue print i have ever tried too figure out lol ^^

Well, I could have wasted much more time making something better that you still wouldn't understand. I'm leaving it as what ever comes to mind, as you said, to finish off the map. Which that was what came to mind... and as usual it is very hard to describe. Now that I look at that diagram I made, it sounds like the complete opposite of what I was trying to say. It shows a top view of the layout... that probably doesn't help, but what ever you'll see when its done.
