    Castle With Medieval Bomb Description

    To work together in a group to bring one bomb through a castle and up to the very top to arm it while trying to find different ways to enter the castle while fighting off enemy's when they try to stop the bomb carrier. Castle tests your ability to work as a team, creativity, sword fighting as well as sniping.

    Changes From V2

    -New shape of castle
    -Attackers Have more cover
    -Different ways to get in the castle
    -More then one way of entry to bomb arming platform
    -Wraith can not shoot down people disarming the bomb
    -You can not grenade jump over the front door anymore

    Balance and Equality
    Castle was made so that everything was equal and no side had a greater advantage listed below are some of the examples of fairness

    The most obvious way to get in the base is when the wraith respawns to shoot down the front door. This can be avoided if some goes on the bottom floor and picks up a bubble shield and waits for some one on the upper floor to tell them when the wraith is firing and then throw the bubble shield so the blast cant hit the front door, while this is going on a defender can go up to one of the towers and pick up a spartan laser and laser the wraith, and a sniper can kill the spartan laser guy which another sniper can kill or get killed by.

    The respawn time for players is ten seconds so if the attackers beat the defenders fast and at the same time then they can arm the bomb just before the defenders respawn, while if they don't then the defenders can keep spawning slowly taking down the attackers one by one.

    The torrent can be useful for taking down people charging at the front of the base but can easily be sniped and can not see whats behind him so if people enter the base they can just walk by him if he is still on the torrent or if he tries to get out of it he is sent outside the base.

    Journey into the base (this is where the pics are at)

    First you start at the attackers base

    Then from there you can wait for the wraith to respawn or use brute shots to open the side doors or run the mongoose through the back door to open it

    [​IMG]

    From inside the base you can either grab weapons to help your team or use equipment to find a creative way to the top

    One creative way of getting up

    From there you are on the middle floor (or the top floor is you used the deployable covers). From the middle floor use the gravity lifts to find a good entrance to the top of the bass and arm the bomb

    Top floor

    From there arm the bomb and win

    A few last things

    Bomb carrier has radar so use this to you advantage to help point out enemies

    If you are having trouble getting the bomb into the base use foundry's natural hallway to go around snipers and the torrent and get to the back of the base

    There are still many ways that haven't been figured out so try to find them for yourself and use them to your advantage

    Also if you have any suggestions or comments about the map just leave a comment on this thread

    interlocking and geomerging would make this looks better, itas not unique, theres a few maps like it, but i think this could be good w/ some work

    A little empty in some parts but for the most part looks like a good. map. The only thing that needs help is the name. Castle is not an origonal name. With a giant structure there are plenty of names that could be used that are more origonal. The map is pretty cool though. The castle looks pretty good (especially with no interlocking lol).

    Don't listen to Bloumbas. Interlocking and geomerging COULD have made this better but it is not a requirement to make a good map.

    Great map though, like BlueDevil said that Interlocking could make it better though you Forged pretty well, and did you set it up for all the gametypes?

    THis idea isnt very original since millions of people have built sqaure fortresses and label them as castles but I would add more pics for the audience to spectate at.

    I know the idea may have not been very creative but my goal was to make a map that the player could be creative on and invent there own ways of getting in, that was perfectly fair and balanced and no side had the greater advantage and use more teamwork and btw zomg its not a square its a pentagon =p

    looks nice in a very mellow sort of way. And when i say mellow I mean not amazing. It looks like the gameplay could be great. Espescialy on that infection.

    i like how you can protect the front door from the tank by dropping a bubble from behind it. its those kind of ideas that can help set this map apart from the rest of the castles. see if you can incorporate some other kinds of entrences that have ways of attacking and defending them. I saw one castle map once that one of the enterences was a bridge made of pallets that could be destroyed and without them there, the attackers could not go through that entrence.

    Well, it looks okay, but I only see about 3 places where you interlocked. I also agree it's not the most original, and when you create something unoriginal, there's usually a better version made by a very experienced forger. If it's not different, it has to be really good for me to download, and this is average. I think it's fine, but not necessarily a map that people would request to play, which is usually the kind of maps I download. I've been a member of forge hub for a while now, so I'm kind of hard to impress after seeing all the great maps here.

    could have used a bit more interlocking, but overall i like the idea of the castle, and the game cariant to bomb it. looks & sounds like loads of fun, I'll DL and give it a shot!
