Gold Rush

As everyone else has said previous to me, the map looks great. I only had a few little things i didn't particularly like such as the map its self was a bit small but there really is no fix to that becuase theres not that many grass cups ;]. There wasnt really any issues that i had there was sometimes some funky spawning when the other team reached the final territory and the other team spawned at the other base but that was rare. Overall the map plays right and is fun . Good work. :]

 

it looks like a map that would have a lot of very intence battles with the right ammount of people!also looks good to!

 

This map was very good when it came to testing, on a Gameplay:Aesthetics ratio, it's a 1:1, the fun, action packed gameplay, was just as good as the aesthetic value of the map. This is probably my favourite conquest map to date, and I love how the aesthetics don't spoil the gameplay, and give the map the sense of a gold mine, I understand why others can't get their head around a grass floor, but I think personally it adds to the feel of the map. Gameplaywise, this map is among the best conquest maps ever.

 

I got to play a game of this yesterday. The size of the map was what hurt gameplay the most. I played a 4v4 on it and it was just too small. I felt cramped the whole game because I couldn't move around as freely as I would like to.
Also, the weapons were either too numerous, or too overpowering. Every clash for the middle territory consisted of a giant explosion with a bit of plasma thrown in. It was way to chaotic to be able to make any sort of progress.
While aesthetically, this map far surpasses most I have seen so far, gameplay really lacked, mostly, I think, because of the small nature of the map.
Keep on forging!

 

I would just like to say this is amazing! My favourite conquest map ever. The asthetics look absolutely amazing, I also like how its curvy. Some people have been saying "Why is there grass in a gold mine???" who cares? It looks amazingley smooth. IT actually looks liek a gold mine to. I'll have afew games on this if you invite me: T4K Shadow, remember me? I played a few conquest maps with you in TGIF, I liked that ghost town one.

 

Hahaha that's exactly the first thing I thought when I saw that. I was totally going to say something.

Absolutely beautiful. I love everything about this map. The layout is so simple yet new and unique, and perfect for the game type. Not to mention elegant. I really like the use of texture. That's what fascinates me the most. The grass floor is nice, the intermittent wood in the roof is nicer still, but the gold nuggets in the wall are over-the-top awesometacular. Not to mention... they make the map look crazy from the outside.

Great, great job.

 

Ah, I must download the newer version then. Good job getting this into XForgery's Conquest Featured Library, Gunnergrunt!

 

I've played a couple of game on here and I'm sorry, but the gameplay doesn't live up to the aesthetics. I really like how you have low ceilings because that is a really good idea and it keep to the "full brute force" that conquest is supposed to give you. The things I'm not to fond of is that how small it is, that you have two brute shots that spawn fairly fast, and the uselessness of the BR. I know there isn't that many tin cups so the path couldn't be any longer without the same theme, but I know that little ingenious mind you have could have made it a room or two bigger because it feel like you don't have any room to gather your weapons and get ready to hold out for the oncoming opponents. The brute shots get a little annoying because it seems people have unlimited ammo, as soon as I walk out of the spawn room I instantly die by the spam of the brute shots. I think you would be able to fix that if there was one in the center like a power weapon or just set the respawn timer a little longer. And the final flaw in my eyes is the uselessness of the BR, the whole path seems to be really close quarters and you don't have even just a little room to take aim with it and in this map I have now chosen the AR over the BR which is rare in my case. Overall I think this is another fun map to play on in conquest, but I wouldn't want to play it more then once in a row.

I won't be keeping this on my hard drive, yet I won't be bummed if it comes up in a custom game. I think I feel a new premium being promoted soon.

 

Funny thing is, I did play with a party of six, but that's not where I'm coming from when I say it's to small, it feels as if you don't have any time before the other team is at your spawn spamming you with their brute shots and grenades. It doesn't give me the time to strategically plan out what I need to do or be at to succeed onto the next territory which in actually time is only 3 seconds at most. I understand there's different kinds of conquest maps out there, but on most enjoyable ones I have played the map gave a sense of preparation before you were face to face with the opposing team. And after thinking about it you're right about the power weapon comment I made, but I still think the brute shot respawn timer should move to a longer time. But yeah, when I stated the AR/BR comment, I wasn't saying that the BR is supposed to take place of the AR, I was saying that it is in my best interest to just use the AR for the finishing blow instead of using a BR. You also have to think about when the other members of the team come barging in with full shields, I believe the AR will prevail over the BR in more situations of combat in conquest.

 

Wow I checked this out and it looks and plays amazing. You are now the creator of two of my favorite Conquest maps. I liked the idea of using the columns as gold nuggets but there should be some more. It looks like its been hollowed out already. If you put Juicy on this map looks way better but the floor isnt very green when its on.

 

Ok, I disagree at first when you say about the BR, I may have been getting lucky, but when I use the BR on this map, I always tend to get a triple kill, or almost get a triple kill.

But about the brute shots, they do seem to be a bit overpowering, however I think you should try replacing them with needlers, they may be power weapons on maps such as Socratic Method, but I think because of the close quarters layout, and the fact that the lines of sight aren't particularly long, they wouldn't overpower the map.

 

WOw very well done map! 5/5 I like how you merged the floor. genius!

 

This is a really fun Conquest map, moreso than many others I've played lately. You've given this a really unique feel, and the gameplay is the way Conquest should be. There's a great "oh ****" moment when you see a whole team coming at you down those narrow hallways. I highly recommend this for anyone who likes to play some good Conquest games. Nicely done, sir.

P.S. - I love how this seems like a Hobbit hole to me. Totally awesome.

 

Lol, squidhands! It does look like Bag End! I've never noticed that before... I agree with you about the "oh ****" moment with the gameplay on this map. I don't remember if you were in our party last night when we were testing the XForgery Conquest Submissions, but there was more than one time that I would find myself trying to take on the entire other team solo. I must say once more Gunnergrunt, this map is both an aesthetic masterpiece and a great map to play on. Both this and "Of the Essence" deserve to be featured. Like, right now...

 

Gunner i love you. you are the best defender of your map that i have ever seen. you put the people down so quick and effortless that they run away with there tails between there legs. i already know that this map right here is going to be my biggest challenge for the xforgery forge off, and to that i congrats you on making a great map.

p.s. the updates i'm doing to my map might put mine over yours lol.

 

I love this map we played it and with 5v5 it is difficult to live for atleast 12 seconds. Grunner Grunt-Best Conquest Forger!!!!
