    DOMINION

    Dominion is a mid size, multi level map playable on a number of different game modes. There are three floors total with easy access between each. There are three ramps from the first to second floor, four ramps from the second to third floor, and two grav lifts which lead from the first to third floor. The second floor also features an outdoor path bridging the two sides of the second floor. Power weapons are limited to one per level, with the second floor also featuring a power weapon on its outdoor path.

    I am looking to get any and all feedback possible for this level. I want to know about the good, the bad, and the ugly. Where can it be improved, what areas are done well, anything that Forgehub cares to comment on. Thanks, and I hope you enjoy!

    The first floor extends back to a sword room connecting two sides and a back hall with a ramp to the back of the second floor. I will add pictures of those later.

    Great Map with attention to detail

    I've played through this map and I have to say that overall it is a very well-built map. I love the attention to detail you put into building and finishing the map. Everything is perfectly symmetric and well-aligned-- Clearly there was an engineer building it. I love the massive atrium on the top level and the rock gardens add a very nice touch. The map is well set up for numerous game play, so its not like many other maps that are unigamable. There is just enough open space to get a good fight going on but plenty of little areas to take cover. Everyone who reads this really should take the time to download Dominion. Its definitely worth it. Cheers.

    Looks great from the pics I will definitely give it a DL. One thing I might recommend adding to your post is an overhead picture of the map so that the flow is easier to distinguish.

    Also way to only have the one singular pathway on the outside. Too many forgers of late have been using too many long isolated paths.

    From the look of the map it seems to me like you put a lot of time into this work of art. The gameplay looks like it will run very well and many people would enjoy the scenery and other components that you have included in your map. One suggestion I might make it to make your map a little more neat. This is not the upset you in any way although I see from some pictures parts of rock coming out of the sides of railings. Also, trees "growing" out of the floor looks very sloppy. Add in a couple tin cups or map it look like its coming out of a rock? Who knows, but overall this map for me diserves a 7/10

    I was considering an overhead post, but because it is entirely enclosed I didn't know if that would be beneficial. I could do an overhead shot with a floor plan overlay, maybe that would be work. As for the tree in the center, I agree it does need some work. It started on the first floor as a kind of preliminary test but I wound up forging the rest of the level with it. Adding a piece to make it flow better would be for the best. Thanks!
