    Nice map Linubidix. Beautiful interlocking and merging. I especially like the green corner and the curvature there. The merged box in the hall was a nice touch too. I've never seen that before. All in all, great layout and execution. 5/5

    the merging in this map looks amazing--I don't know how the gameplay from the map plays out, but it looks amazingly nice. Good job. That merging in the back alley looked sweet. Fo shizzle!!!

    Dude I really like it on Flag Rally and Black Cat Magic hahaha, but I think you might want to put in another way to get up the center piece if you want. That I think is the only flaw, even though at first I thought the corner wall were just place for no reason, but in reality they are set in a very fair way and accually add more to the gamplay. I love this map and Im up for some Elite Running, you in lol?u

    Dangit, I was going to try and merge something in the back alley in my next map. I'm not sure how you got it back there, maybe by geomerging into the outside walll untill it pokes threw the otherside? Anyways looks like one of your better maps.

    Looks interesting. You've got some neat ideas that I haven't seen in other maps.

    Haha, I remember having a Forge-through on this with you and my buddy. It was pretty sweet then, but checking out the shots, I'm seeing some things I didn't see before. Very nice showing off of your merging/geo-merging skills. It's all-around a great map to look at and play on.

    I've no clue how you even got a box in that back tunnel, but 'grats on that. It looks very nice, just like the rest of the map. Great job, bro!

    Obviously this is a really good map but... It seems to me that it is one of those "look how good I am at geomerging" maps. The layout seems kinda weird which makes me question gameplay. The interlocking is great though and same with the geomerging of course but I think you could have used your geo-talents to make a cooler map. It is still great though.
    4/5

    Try playtesting, that will make your "questions" "answers".

    Anyways!

    ZOMG THOSE WALS R NOT STREAIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!lulz, i told you I would say it =P

    Seriously though, I dled, will be getting a game in it a.s.a.p. I love the merging, looks godly, the only criticism I have is the fact that you don't have enough pictures. =D jaykay.

    Oh, and:



    HOW'D YOU KNOW?!?!? hax. shenanigans.

    I'm very pleased no one but Tex has said that, lol. I <3 him, so he's the exception.
    I've plenty of pictures, forgehub told me off for being too godly and having 22 pictures.

    Thanks to everyone, I'll answer individual posts later.
    To the people impressed with merged double box here's the story.
    After TGIF 10, I think it was, everyone had left the party except for Myself and Headlessbarbie. We got to talking, I was leader, and out of boredome I opened foundry canvas. (remember at this point, Pankration was about 60% done). He said that he and Iv0ry Snak3 had been talikng about trying to get something into the alley. I was intrigued and up to the challenge, we both took a side and gave it out best shot. The technique we used was the door method. Eventually after about 5 pushes, as it does with other door merged objects, it rejected my ideas and got pissed, thrashing about, swearing at children, after offering it some doritos and a pepsi, it calmed. It had had its fit and managed to get itself into the alley. From there, it just takes some straight placement of doors and it straghtened up. We were still testing this new merge, we tryed all the different ways to push it after it was in the alley. Eventually it was like "kthanxbye" and ran itself out of the map. I had realised that as far as I knew, no one had incorporated that into their own map. So away I went, onto Pankration and merging I went. Well obviously it worked.
    So, yeah, thanks to headlessbarbie for inspiring me.

    wow this looks great! How did you get the open box merged with the backally? The geogliching and interlocking is flawless and I can't wait to play on it!

    I love this map. A very creative layout and awesome gameplay. You've managed to put in firebombs without making them overpowered. Good job!

    Linubidix, this is a great map and was a blast to test. Definately getting a 5/5 from me.

    Yeah, it really shines in FFA gametypes. It plays like a dream, and no place in the map had more action than another. Practically nobody used the ghost and chopper, so those aren't a problem. The middle structure had some pretty tight battles in our king of the hill game. The merging in the back tunnel was great, and when me and headlessbarbie tried to do it, let's just say.......ours didn't work LoL

    You went all out with this post also, so yeah, it definately gets a 5/5.
