Kings on Castles By R34P3R 0F D34TH and ianian 58 Gametype: VIP Map: Sandbox Story- That is it. We will no longer hear the opposing Castle. We are done with this endless war. There is no other way to end this rain of hell. We have to kill him. We have to kill their King. Grab your swords, this War ends today. Gameplay Description- Ah the game of Kings. Two teams put to the test of better swordsmen, to fight to the death, in the hope of killing the opposing King. Each Castle gets a King, King dies, round ends. Simple isn't it. Two castle, and one long bridge separating between them. Both of the Castles are hovering over the endless waist-land of skeleton's, brave soldiers who have fallen off in a hope of victory. Collisions of players will burst into each other, using your teams sheer amount of numbers, and brute force to push through the enemy castle. That is your chance to Kill the King. So how does it work? Well let's see, these are your Castles. Hovering over the trails of despare. The Red Castle- Both Castles, consist of a "ground" level room. This is the room that your Kings soldiers will run out of, into the bloody battlefield awaiting their deaths. The Blue Castle- The rooftop, has two large staircases leading upwards toward them. Simply put, you walk strait up onto the rooftops, where the King usually perches. But watch your head, the Kings guards might be waiting for their chance to strike. The Castle Interior- Ah this is the Interior. You'll see the rooftop staircases right in the entrance of the Castles. On both sides of each Castle, there are two spawn rooms, equaling four a Castle. With all of these different Spawn rooms, you'll notice Knights will have a rather difficult time killing each other at spawns. The Rooftop and Staircase- The Staircase starts directly in front of the Castles entrance, leading strait up into the rooftop. From the rooftop, your King and Knights have a birds eye view of the battlefield. Types of Soldiers- The game of Kings consist of several different types of soldiers, plenty of which all play a particular role. Each one has there own traits. --- The King- The King is, the most important aspect of the game. There are two Kings, a King a team.

This looks like a great map, and it looks like you put plenty of time into building it, but try this to dramatically improve the possiblities of your map, and since you used such a small number of objects why dont you just take the time to make the castles and the paths between them super-omg-epic aesthetically??
looks really medieval and cool. with lots of people you could have a lot of fun. my one recommendation would be making the paths between the castles have some more cover
dude its an all swords game so why on earth would you need cover? all the cover would do is get in your way. sparky the game you have created here is clever. Battle man is wrong about having cove. so don't worry about anything that relates to adding more of something that you really don't need. Great job to the guys who made this map and the cool idea of making a map suit a sword game type. props to you guys!
Thanks. As a matter of fact, since we made the map supporting all other 3 other gametypes, I really didn't have much more items to work with. Hope everyones enjoying the map. Ill work on getting the links for the other gametypes up later on today.
Concept looks good, forging not so much; in the first two pictures, there are numerous places in which the map could easily be fixed up for a smoother build to compliment the cool concept. Specifically, the wooden bridges don't make a smooth, even path, nor is the construction of the spawn hives particularly tidy. Moreover, making a landing instead of a dead end at the top of the ramps inside the castles could be a nice addition to prevent people from blindly walking off. I'm not trying to be a pain, but whenever making a map|game-type combo, you don't want to make a fabulous game-type which won't be equally fabulous when implemented on the supplied map. Food for thought. -=Moxus=-
I can easily understand that. The map may be rebuilt, but I found that this map was fun enough, and people came back again and again. I might recreate it, but I think I'm done forging in Halo 3.
Please do- they are important. It is cruel to provide a description for a game, and not give DL links. Ah, the review. The game sounds simple, which usually are the best. I agree with Moxus though^ you need to fix up the map. The most essentials are the landing after the second staircase. Each one leads off of the map. Also, the tube spawns are poorly put together and a dead-end for anyone who goes the wrong way. Finally, I would make the wooden bridge either wider, or I would put angled edges of thin wood strips on the sides, so that people are less likely to fall off. As for aesthetics, Im not going to go there. I think if you look around this site or other forging sites, you will see how visually stimulating people want their maps to be. One last tip- you mentioned running out of objects due to spawns and objectives. Of note: If you delete them from the original Sandbox, you do not get them back for free- it costs an object. But if you delete them, you do not get an additional object. The best way to do spawns and objective points is to move them, without deleting them, from the original Sandbox onto your map, and only delete the ones you do not need.
Do you mind if i take this idea and use it, but make a different layout of the map? I think i have some good ideas XD
in my opinion this map would be cooler if yo widened the walk way and gay it a "stable" filled with "horses"(mogoose)
