    Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen, hi Steve

    Well, it's almost 2am in the morning, but due to the deadline I am forced to post this now, so please ignore any mistakes, I'll have a look on this again tomorrow, but until then, here we go:

    I'd like to welcome you to my thread for my map Of Legions II, a whole new version of my most successful map so far. Of Legions v1 and Of Legions v1.3 manged to gather around 1000 downloads during the last months and managed to win both, the ForgeHubFavorites and got Featured on ForgeHubs frontpage.

    Now, with OL II, I tried to recreate the feeling that you guys had on OL I, I forged both maps on the same spot of ForgeWorld, the cave, I used the same filters and I even used the same lights, so you'll feel at home right away.
    On the other hand I wanted to create a whole new map, now this was harder than I thought, since the cave is the hardest place to forge on ForgeWorld, you don't have a lot of hight variation, you don't have a lot of space and you can't use larger objects since most of them dissapear. I wanted to create something new, in a way that the final product is still familiar to you.

    The first thing I did to manage that, is not to destroy my map. If you think of OL I, you may remember that most of the structures were broken. I started OL I as a regular map, and destroyed everything when I was done. In OL II you'll find one broken structure, the rest looks like a regular map.
    In addition, this time you won't play in a old prison, but in a abandoned mine. You'' find several minewagons, on a rail and on a kind of lift, a complete production line, several tunnels, a recreation room and a shower room. I tried to add as many details as possible.

    Well, and that's all I can imagine to write about at the moment, once again, excuse all my mistakes but I'm too german and too tired to check them right now, good nicht and have fun with Of Legions II ♥

    I know, it's hard to orient yourself with those screenshots, but on such a tight map it was very hard to even take proper screenshots, I'll try to get a video for you as soon as possible.

    If you get the Artisan rank from "of Legions" and "of Legions II" that'd be pretty damn cool.

    Also, new map looks even better, you've gotten really amazing at creating atmosphere in your maps.

    First is for losers *looks at Skisma*

    Anyway, I like this a lot better than the first one, and I think this will blow the judges away in the contest. You got my vote. I'll be sure to DL soon, and best of luck in the contest!

    Edit: Just read Southern's comment. Were these maps inspired by Batman?

    Wow. This map is so amazing, it made everything I tried to make in the cave look like crap. If the first OL was Arkham Asylum, then this is Arkham City. Great job.

    I don't think that's what he meant: more of an awesomeness ratio than a comparison.

    I will have to take a look at this soon. So far Of Legions and Rorak's new map are the only two infection maps I would consider playing often, so I'll have to see how this lives up and play some games on the old one as well.

    Now where in the world will I find a customs group playing infection... :)

    Oh gawd. Seriously, though, if you don't get artisan for this, I'd lose hope for this site. This is amazing. I would've entered the Hub of the dead, but I knew I wouldn't stand a chance. I need to work more with infection maps so I could achieve great looking maps like this. My one issue with this map would be that there doesn't seem to be as much color of the original Of Legions.

    Second Impression: Lagfest .. or at least that's what I heard. I never got the chance to play it online due to the short contest time span, but the judges said that it lags too much to be enjoyable. If you want to play it via LAN, everything should work, at least it did for me
