Mendicant Mendicant Download link (Note that map's name is still mendicant in my fileshare) Fellow forgers, I present unto you a vision of a map still in it's Beta Phase: Designed to be an assymetrical map with a symmetrical feel Mendicant is set in a rarely used corner of forgeworld and relies heavily on natural geometry to provide balanced, fast paced, competitive gaming. Currently set up for team games of slayer, assault and CTF variants (symmetric and assymetric), Mendicant also supports infection variants well; even the much despised matchmaking variants. Teams can vary between 3 and 5 players a side due to the many routes across the map and a layout that both punishes camping and prevents spawnkilling. Please feel free to download the map by following the link above and share your experiences in this thread as all feedback is good feedback! Now, on with the pictures! (please note they are slightly out of date in terms of weapon placements, aesthetics etc. but the map layout is virtually the same)
looks like it could become a fun map, only thing I see wrong from the pictures in my opinion is the prefrabricated building and the dish just looks out of place in that position, Id attempt to make it multi leveled and spread out over the natural environment but I like how you decided to build in this area its true its very rarely used it seems, I like the direction your going keep it up and hopefully this will turn out to be quite a accomplishment, and the name mendicant could go well with it try messing with the natural geography a little maybe look at longshore/last resort, and blend a little guardian in to create something really unique in the channel since you seem to have plenty of room to spread things out the way ud like there.
What you may not be able to see from the pictures is that there is a path up around the top of the cliffs and also at the cliff's base. So in total there are 4 routes from base to base. Distance and risk are inversly proportional. As regards to your comment about the bases, they do blend in much more in the map's current form however I havn't thought about replacing the dish with anything. Any suggestions would be nice.
