    THE BATTLE OF THE ALAMO

    The myth and legend of the Alamo is the creation story of Texas, central to the Texas legend itself, and it is a legend which continues growing, capturing the imagination of people around the world. To understand the real battle, one must appreciate its strategic context in the Texas Revolution.

    The entire siege lasted 13 days. Tuesday February 23 - Sunday March 6, 1836. The siege and final battle of the Alamo in 1836 constitute the most celebrated military engagement in Texas history. The battle was conspicuous for the large number of illustrious personalities among its combatants. These included Tennessee congressman David Crockett, entrepreneur-adventurer James Bowie, and Mexican president Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna.

    YEE MAN IZ BAK… has done it again but a different style instead of (PUZZLES EYE NOW MAKING PLAYABLE SLAYER MAPS)… This is the FIRST of many that I will be making, (SO GET USED TO ME… AND GET TO KNOW ME… b/c … EYE WILL BE HERE FOR A WHILE) (SO DOWNLOAD EVERTHING THAT HAS MY NAME IN IT) THIS IS A TERRITORY MAP

    This map looks pretty good. I love the layout of the map and the territory gametype that goes with it looks like it would work very well. If I can get enough people in a party im going to try this.

    This map is very aesthetically pleasing. The tin cups and the wood bridges always add a new texture to the map. There is not much cover from the higher ground, but I guess it is part of the game to capture the higher ground. Maybe you could add some larger solid structures around the center to add some cover for those on low ground. Possible put upturned double blocks on each corner of the centerpiece. Great aesthetics, looks fun 4/5 keep it up.

    EDIT: A weapons list would be nice, I have the rrod.

    I love the look from the outside, but from the inside there is nothing that really strikes me as amazing. I can see that there is a couple of ways in, but you really didn't show the area outside. A weapons list would also be nice, but the thing that could really be worked on is the interior. 4/5

    The map is just gorgeous. I love the dedication to the theme of each base, seems like the attackers will have to earn their way into the fort, 4/5 downloading now.

    Me and some buddies played this today and it’s actually quite a fun map and seemed to offer a good balance between attackers/defenders. My favorite base is the wood deck layout were shotgun is at. The overview pic is epic, 4/5 next time have a weapon list plz.

    4/5 the only things im not sure about are the door that goes outside of the main structure because a whole team could just walk out there in the open.

    Also add a sniper Br tower in one of the corners as someone said above.

    Wow, man! This really looks like the Alamo! This was an excellent idea, and it was wonderfully executed. I really like the grass, and this is one of the only maps I've seen that mades the wooden bridges look good. My only complaint is that the outside of the Alamo is very barren and boring. You should try to improve this in a V2!

    Love the feel of the map. But if you could actually recreate the Alamo excactly that would make the map great. I live in San Antonio and This looks nothing like it.

    Haha, nice action pics. Yee Man vs Mander- epic. As for the map, it's pretty sick. The gameplay is great and it's definately an effort for the attackers to take the base. The pictures can't show how epic this map is- good job!

    I like this map a lot, the layout is creative and I think it has potential for CTF However, the attackers will have to put some effort into getting into the fort, overall I love the aesthetics and detail you put into this map 4/5.

    Wonderful looking map,the Alamo looks very realistic and well made,especially how realistic the castle looks. Very original map idea too. Structurally it looks quite neat. Very nice job with the entrance to the castle, the secret ways around the castle make this a fun map 5/5.
