Prologue: This fortress was once home to a peaceful race, known for their architectural abilities. Long have they lived in peace with their neighboring states, until jealousy spurred a war that would not be forgotten. The fortress was not capable to withstand great amounts of attacks, which led to its downfall. The alien race that once lived there were wiped out of existence, and now the elites control it. They have since rebuilt the structure with many powerful defensive units, this time built to withstand any attack. Can anyone find a way to overcome the unwanted beasts and rid them from Forgeworld........... Hello forgehub. It has been a very long time since I have posted a map, or anything for that matter. But I am here today with a map of epic proportions. This map is aesthetically beautiful to say the least. It features many unique units of defense, not to mention the size of the place itself. This map was very tricky to make because I first had to make the basic structure, which can be seen if you delete everything except for the wall colosseums. Instead of posting a lot of pics, I put together a video to show you the map. My camera was not working though, so I had to put the pictures into a sort of slide show, with music of course. So I hope you enjoy my map, and feel free to message me on xbox if you want to forge together sometime.

fixed that... thanks for the notice [br][/br]Edited by merge: I thought all criticism was supposed to be for the map, not the video. But to answer you question, yes the intro could be much much longer.
Please don't. To get started, I'm very picky with aesthetics, so if I go all out on you, please don't take it the wrong way. We all have our forging strengths. First off, what's the race of the civilization? Is it human? I'm pretty sure I see human vehicles there mixed with covenant vehicles. Even if the elites rebuilt part of the base, they would NEVER use human vehicles. I am happy I don't see any Z fighting in the vid, granted those are pictures, but even with such objects where you can see that they are merged, I'm glad you made sure there was no z fighting. It's not a pretty sight. Next, I kind of hoped, instead of using a teleporter to get into the fortress, there was an actual doorway that led you into the entire thing. It just seems more real IMO. On the outside in general, it does look like an actual ancient fortress, but if you look close up, it does look a little randomly put together.
thank you for finally commenting on the map. Anyway, I didn't specify a race because I was unsure what to make them. And as for the mixed vehicles, I guess I wasn't thinking too much on that.... hehe. Anyway, I agree that close up the map looks a little thrown together, but at the time, I couldn't really think of a "unique way" to create the central building. I wanted to make it look like a mix between an old middle age castle, and a futuristic temple. Also, the prologue I wrote was sort of off the top of my head so thats why the elites have human vehicles.... I will remember to consider all this in my next "castle" map. Again. thanks for finally commenting on my map instead of my video.
