    God damn is that an impressive looking ship. You've got so many unique aesthetic pieces working in this map, it's mind-blowing. Your treasure chest is by far, the coolest looking piece I've seen in Forge World (so far). That's not to say the other things you've done aren't good looking, it's just that when I saw that chest, I had to stop the video and take another look.

    The one thing I would suggest is trying to hide the man-cannon. In my opinion, seeing lifts takes away from aesthetic value. Maybe incorporate it into the rock structure.

    That's really well-forged with the basic forging pallet Bungie gave us!

    Expect a video on this map soon! It's a usable map as well, so custom games is a yes.

    9/10

    wow greatly forged map i love all the attention to details like the jolly roger, treasure chest,
    and buoys and thats a great looking sail but the only downside it the lower decks look so bare you couldve added more things down there like a crew's quarters or cargo bay but anyways 8/10 imo

    The pirate ship to end all other pirate ship maps.

    Very high attention to detail I just wish you could have made the ship bigger with more in the lower deck, but for obvious the reason why its so small is because you only have 100 1v1 squares to use which make very good rounded surfaces.


    It's very very good.

    that is FANTASTIC that it works with infection because it just so happens that i have a "pirates vs. ninjas" gametype. this is amazingly built and i see almost no flaws with it. as for the ghosts that are put there, do they act as boats so people can get to the lighthouse? overall i am gonna give this one a 9.5/10. (-.5 for small size)

    A few Forge games later and I'm ready to go into full detail about what I liked/disliked.

    Liked:

    -Almost every aspect of the ship (theres one I'll mention later)
    -The lighthouse; it's very simply built yet still looks incredible
    -the rocks the lighthouse sits atop look quite realistic
    -ability to drive ghosts on the water was a cool touch
    -amazing treasure chest

    There were two things that I highly disliked

    -some of the boundaries for driving the ghosts weren't specified very well. This is specifically around the lighthouse rocks. You can slip and fall through without warning.

    -the flag on the ship. To see such a beautiful ship all together, it kind of sucked to see a flag that didn't match in aesthetic value.

    Suggestions:

    Go back and redo the flag. It doesn't have to be anything super fancy, see as you can't get up there.

    Make some more antenna smalls around the rocks to help players better understand the boundaries.

    It would be cool if you incorporated a theme in the part of the island you haven't used. You've got some spawn points that could use some cover over there aswell.

    Hope this helps and I can't wait to see your other works.

    this s a really nice map but there is a thing you need to change. the man cannon from the lighthouse leading to the ship. you suffer much damage when you hit the ship, when you get to a fight right away your doomed

    well this just looks amazing! I really love how you did the treasure chest :D
    I actually don't have any dislikes ATM because I haven't played it yet.

    the only thing I disliked about the video is the song, it's such a terrible song and sooo overused.

    Looks great. I would like to see a version 2 with some dark filter effects. Maybe like purple and juicy. I am not sure what combination, but some filters to make it dark. Then you could have some cannon balls flying out of the ship. Like launching fusion coils or something. You can then put some lights in the hull of the ship to make it look more gothic or spooky. Again, the ship is great. I just would like to see some night lighting to fit the "theme" more. 4/5

    Wow, this is truly amazing. I have never seen a forged pirate ship, well, look like a pirate ship. Everybody else has a floating box with a pole on it, this is a smooth classic pirate ship. Definitely going to try this with infection.
    I agree with Nibs here, the treasure chest is indeed very creative. I had never came up with such a thing.
    10/10
