Welcome avid readers to the Forge Hub community Spotlight. Here we highlight some of the shiny stars, as well as under looked talents, using anything from inquisitive interviews, to map highlights and anything else that we feel has gone without enough notice. This week on the Community Spotlight we have Conquest in Matchmaking, a group dedicated to getting a Forge Hub classic into matchmaking. Speaking on behalf of the group, we have front man Gunnergrunt as well as group activists Urban Myth and l PATRICK l. See what these guys are up to, and show them your support.

So Conquest in Matchmaking is it? Who are you guys then?

Gunnergrunt (Big Boss):

Gunnergrunt here. To establish credentials, I will tell you that I have won Forge Hub's Conquest Forgeoff, won Xforgery's Conquest Forgery Challenge, have four Conquest maps of my own, wrote a guide to building Conquest maps, and have consistently helped members build their own Conquest maps for nearly nine months. With that in mind, I am the instigator of the movement known as "Conquest In Matchmaking."

Deviation
Created by: stoyben

Recommended Players: 1-16
Recommended Gametypes: Racetracks, Battle Tracks

It's been a while since a quality race map has graced the front page of Forge Hub. Newcomer to the Forge Hub race scene, stoyben, has brought with him a pretty "far out" track to share with the community. His track, Deviation, encircles a large and very deadly guardian tower. No need to fear though, as long as a racers' driving skills are up to par there will be no conflicts with frightening, laser blasting towers.

While the setting is arguably the coolest of any track to date, the drive is no cinch either. High looping turns mixed with tighter, quicker ones comprise this medium length course. While stoyben's track doesn't aim to throw players down to the sand, a lack of careful practice will have them eating dirt or being vaporized. Deviation aims to give Forge Hub racers another solid track in an even cooler setting and is definitely worth one scenic trip around the death machine.

Promotions

Just one lone colour change this time around, though one that's been long since overdue as Pigglez joins the rank of Loyal. We think you'll agree that it fits him rather well.

Hub of the Dead

Another event reached its conclusion recently, and congratulations go to Given To Fly for his creation, Schism of Light which swept away the competition in our Hub of the Dead infection forge-off and secured itself a well deserved Feature in the process. Mighty fine forging there, Given. There was quite a bit of buzz around this map right from when it emerged, but check out the map using the link above if you're not already familiar with it, and get a full rundown of the winning maps in...
