So I've been looking through some maps on here and I saw some conquest maps. I love forging, however I never actually end up finishing the maps, despite how much potential they probably have. Well anyway, I was thinking about making a conquest map but I'm not quite sure how it goes. I looked it up but all I found was a post about conquest in matchmaking. So, if anyone can explain what needs to be in a conquest map and how it should play that would be great. Thanks in advance. Plasma Blades
The Book of Conquest AZN FTW's Conquest Guide Gunnergrunt's Conquest Guide The one main thing to remember is that every playable square inch of the map must be covered by a territory.
Alright, thanks - this should help a lot. And, What about equipment (including power ups), I'm not sure If I saw anything in those about that? And another quick thing, Say red team is at their second territory. Can blue team be allowed to shoot them from a distance? For example, in the map Messiah (first one that came to mind), if the shield doors on the bridges were removed, would that be acceptable?
seriouslly, when someone gives you a link, could you read it? Equipment were excluded because it is a linear fight. The use of equipment takes away from that. For instance whenever you use a regen you stop dead in your tracks instead of pushing forward. You simply do not run into your own power drain. You stay inside your bubble and do not stray into your flare. yes, you can shoot the opponent, but there must be two or more symmetric turns.(also taken out of the guide.) please read the rest of the guides before you ask questions about it. i can assure you, all the information is there, and if you plan on making a conquest map, then you need to read it all anyway.
I did read through all the links, I apologize, I must have forgotten about that part. However, that still is rather unclear about power-ups. In forge, they are listed under equipment, but many people don't think of them as equipment. Yes, I realize that conquest is about pushing forward, brute force, and teamwork - But if the the power-up (preferably oversheilds) is given to both sides, would it be alright?
Yes, they are allowed. Why wouldn't they be? I believe they were just for aesthetics, and gameplay purposes. I got rid of them one game, didn't play as well. I'm not sure if overshields are allowed, but I know for a fact that custom powerup are. I would either place it in the middle, or one near each team's starting area to balance both teams, but idk. I've never personaly liked using custom powerups in conquest maps.' Oh, and if you were wondering about if players could spawn kill, they can't. The spawn traits are set so they have a few seconds of invincibility. Just make sure in the spawing room, you generally don't need starting points. Just have 8 spawn points and 1 spawn area set to that team. Also be sure that the spawns aren't facing towards a wall or too incredibly bunched up(players need to be able to run a good 3 seconds or so and not hit anything. Oh, and players should also be able to reach the peak of their jump when the jump in the spawning room.
Alright, I wasn't sure, because then you could kill them before they can take it - even if your not in the next territory over. I'm assuming that the custom power-up settings are already in the gametype and shouldn't be edited? And I wasn't really thinking about the spawn killing, but I didn't know that they should be able to hit the peak of their jump in the spawn room. Thank you, that response should really help!
hey i was wondering if you guys could help me playtest a conquest map i've just made.. At the moment it plays very well.. i did download one conquest map (made on foundry) and me and my friends thought my map played 10 times better for enjoyment.
