WELCOME TO THE FORTRESS Today I present to you my first "real" invasion map: The Fortress. An epic battle between the spartans and elites will be fought on this battlefield. Well at least that is what I'm hoping. Haven't really had a chance to test it out with full teams but from what I did play it turned out very intense. But as stated this really is my first in-depth semi-thought out and planned map. Right now its only invasion but in later versions I will be adding Invasion slayer, BTB and/or regular team slayer variants. From land battles and air battles to the epic final push to capture the tower, there should be many great times and intense fights with in this map and game variant. Now I leave it up to all of you to try this map out and see what you can do and see what happens on the battlefield. I really do look forward to hearing back from all the testers out there and I welcome all constructive criticism. Also if you like the map or are just playing around with a group of friends on the map, by all means please do send me a friend request (GT: CaptainSize)! Happy Invading! And now for more pictures. But first a little explanation on the first picture. That is just an overall view of the first objective and the fort itself. That is where it all begins. Actually this is where it all begins. For the Spartans at least. This great view and background should really set the atmosphere. And this is objective #2, blasting your way through the front door. This section should certainly be a challenge and will require a lot of teamwork to fend off the flying elites and plant the bomb. And here is the crappy screenshot I took of the third objective and a falcon making its way in. The view from the ground is much more intimidating and awesome. And lastly here is a little better view of the tower and if you look close enough you can see where the last objective is: on the top floor of course. Well thats all I got for now. Later this weekend I should have a video up demoing the map. And once again I look forward to hearing some feedback and input! THANKS! ***Also please let me know if I missed anything in my thread. Thanks again!***
From a simple aesthetic veiw, The square platforms you are using on top of your castle dont seem to fit, and dont fit well with the round mantle over the main gate. Have you thought about crafting round turrets for the corners? it will take a little more work, and i'm not sure what inventory you have left, but it may make the look a little more cohesive. send me an invite and maybe we could forge together and i could show you what i mean. my screen name is the same as here.
#1 - Territory - Capture the landing area/satilite #2 - Assault - Breach the door (pictured in the 3rd screenshot) #3 - Territory - Capture the "throne", top floor of the tower Adelard - I see your point and the disc I put above the gate is just for looks. The platforms I put there because they look like towers. But really I haven't played around with the looks to much, just tried getting a base layout and got it running. Thats the beauty of being version 1.0 lol. Also my budget is at $0, BUT I can always play around like I mentioned. And I'll try hitting you up the next time I'm forging.
