    Story:



    A few soldiers were able to make it out of Acropolis during the battle. They retreated to a small temple located in the mountains north of Acropolis. There they established a new town and military and stared to rebuild what they lost. The Ottoman military found out about this hideaway and planed to make an attack. Slowly they started to build tunnels leading to the dungeons of the temple.

    On April 30, 1365 the Ottoman military launched its first attack on the Temple of Atlas. The moved through the tunnels they had previously made, slaughtering the guards, that were watching the prisoners in the dungeon. They then found their way to the underground creek, and mine. The Ottoman military stayed there and waited till night. Slowly they creeped though the city killing anyone in there way, until an Islam soldier spotted one of the Ottoman’s guard. At that time all hell broke lose. The Islam’s military attacked with full force, but the damage was already too bad the Islam’s couldn’t do anything, there were just too many of them. Blood paved the streets, parentless children cried; for sure this was the end of the Islams.​

    The Ottoman’s soldiers took everyone else, who were still alive, as prisoners and began to head back, but then a guard sees foot prints leading from the battle seen along with a trail of blood. Someone had escaped!​

    Map description:

    Well the map is a small map that concludes 4 story's of amazement and tunnels.On the top there is the ground that includes a house, temple, sniper bunker, cove, waterfall, mine shaft, and more.Then there is a sort of "aqueduct" feel to the first layer of tunnels because of The water from the waterfall.These tunnels are stand up tunnels and they have 5 entrances to the ground above,and they have 2 entrances to the next layer underground.When you jump down from the 1st tunnel leyer you have two options, you can go to the left and go on the bottom floor where the dungeon is at or you can take a right and go through a layer of crouching tunnels.If you pick the right you can take another right and go up the mine shaft to the top of the level or you can take a left and go to some stand up tunnels.In the stand up tunnels there is a series of holes that you can go down to the bottom layer of crouching tunnels, but you must watch out for traps.Scattered around the map is some unresistable traps that take you to the dungeon and makes you kill yourself or stay in there and wait for someone to kill you.​

    Layout picture:
    [​IMG]
    This is a simple layout made from sketchup.It shows all the visible weapons and equipment in the layout.It kinda shows the tunnels to see what they look like.I recommend downloading the map to see it better.​



    Weapons on map:
    • 1 sniper​
    • 4 battle rifles​
    • 1 smg​
    • 1 spiker​
    • 1 spiker​
    • 1 magnum​
    • 1 plasma pistol​
    • 1 brute shot​
    • 1 covenant carbine​
    Equipment on map:

    • 2 plasma grenades​
    • 1 spike grenade​
    • 1 bubble shield​
    • 1 trip mine​
    • 1 regenerator​
    • 1 radar jammer​
    • 1 deployable cover​
    The Dungeon:



    [​IMG]

    how it works:

    Well, there is some random traps around the map you can get trapped in and they put you in here.You have two options in there, you can look up and break the pallet and die or you can stay in there and teabag the ground until someone kill you.

    How to kill someone in there:


    You can simply go and find a trap and get stuck in it and kill him in there and get trapped or you can go underneath it and shoot the propane tank down there.The propane tank explodes and knock the fusion coils down and kills the people in there.​

    note* some of these picture came from a clip that had infinite grenades and invincibility on so dont think there is ultra super grenade spamming.​

    great map truly outstanding. 10/10
    tunnel system is very elaborate. very original and very competitive.

    This map looks very well made, and the gameplay looks excellent. The overall design is very cool, and traps are a nice addition to the map. You did a nice job with the water room(s), and the top dome area is good too. Great work, 5/5.

    I am very impressed with the presentation and layout of the map. I love the center structure on the top level, and for some odd reason, this map is very pleasing to my eyes. I don't know what it is but, it just does. I also like how you used sketchup to give people a better idea of the layout.

    finally you posted it, this map is amazing, the tunnels, the water, the main area, all the interlocking, everything. I had soooo much fun playtesting this, it works amazing with ffa slayer. There is nothing i could find bad about it, and the hidden tellies and dungeon are a very nice touch, amazing job toppum and american.

    well my fellow mini mod you do it again. this map is exsquisit. nthe interlocking is perfect as expected from you and the design is, to say the least a feat matching that of Acropolis. there openess of the map is adequit and the gameplay is impecable. i hope to see more maps from you in the future and as for this map id say it rivals that of your previous who rivaled the maps that have been featured.

    Lol headless Barbie, Anyways great map! This is like a far better/improved tunnel rats. I like this maps idea too, Its really ingenious. The tunnels may be clustered but they work very well. The dungeon Idea too was very neat! I like the center structure outside too, it looks very original. Also how you can drop down makes it cool too,

    Your thread was very well worded and composed, this hows how much time and effort you put into this map witch means promissing gameplay. Overall this map is amazing. Nice work!

    This map is truly from a map making god (or gods). I love the background behind this map. I loved testing out this map and playing it. This map is an epic win. I loved the whole Ancient Map Pack. From the aesthetic beauty to competiveness (if thats a word), This ranks as one of the best maps I have ever played. Keep up the outstanding work American10 and Sir Toppum Hat1.

    EDIT
    PingPongLegend you have to play this map to see if its good, some maps on ForgeHub are two open single boxes and a ball and they get great reviews. Honestly If you can remake this map in 15 minutes I will give you my soul. And the outside is supposed to be like that because there is something behind that. I got your back American, great map keep up the good work.

    Dang this was an awesome map. I can't even tell you how much winsauce must have gone into making this. A whole lot man, a whole lot. I like the idea of the dungeon, and it looks like very intense gameplay. What is the best starting weapon? SMG, AR, or BR?

    truly a great map. you and Sir Toppum Hat1 really out did yourselves. not only are the aesthetics of the map great but so is the gameplay. the tunnels and signs on top are interlocked very neatly and the shack is a great addition. the weapon placement is good as well. again great job you two

    This map looks really good, and the dome type thing looks crazy
    One thing i liked is how you did the 3-D structures so everyone can get a good overview without anything blocking the view.
    The trap is also very neat, reminds me of power core

    You recommended this map to me like 5 times, so I checked it out. I have to say American, this is extremely well made. The tunnels are elaborate and the traps definetly caught me by surprise and kept me on my toes. However, the style of gameplay on this map really doesn't tickle my fancy. It's good, I just don't love crouching in tunnels for the entire game.

    In all though, great job.
