    • Introduction

    Hello ForgeHub Members. This is my first map. It is called Castle Wars. I named it that because the main point is to defend your castle and win. I choose this kind of map because I thought it would be a easy map to make for my first.​



    • Description
    Alright here it is.

    This map is on Sandbox and is in the basement. Two castles, one done good, other not so good. Blue castle is the 'not so good' castle due to running out of items to make walls, floors, etc. Red castle is the 'good' one. Their is about 8 Fusion Coils in the middle of the two castles for jumping (if you know how) ☺.


    • Red Castle
    The red castle is on the Left side from the pictures view. Their is two Machine Gun torrents, one Warthog, Armory (Not big), 3-4 stories tall, 3 rooms for camping, 1 entrance, shield door before leaving spawn (to prevent spawn grenades), 8 Spawns, Under castle spawn.​


    • Blue Castle
    Blue castle is located on the Right side from the pictures view. Their is two Plasma cannons, one Warthog, Small Armory, 2 story, 2 rooms for camping, 1 entrance, shield door before leaving the spawn area, 8 spawns, and spawns are located under the castle.​


    • Spawns/Spawning
    You spawn in this box like area on both sides, 16 spawns total(8 in each castle), Spawning is correct, by correct i mean like if your on the Red team you wont spawn in the blue teams castle. Each spawn area hold up to 8 people. (8vs8 teams).​

    How could this be good for team slayer??? How could the blues win at all if their base is so much more insignificant than the red base? This hardly seems fair

    I will go ahead and be the first,but definitely not the last,one to tell you this:You map needs more interlocking.I recommend heading over to Forging 101,as it will probably help you out a lot.A quick tip for you:It is generally a bad idea to have the power weapons so close to spawn points.

    Omg... umm... this map is ridiculously sloppy, looks like you completely rushed it. Also, armories are never a good thing to have in Competitive maps. Also, Red Team has a huge advantaged over Blue considreing they ahve more wepaons to work with and more cover. Lastly, it looks very easy to break out of the map.

    The forging is sloppy. Sloppy forging generally produces unfair/boring gameplay. I for one will not be downloading this map. If you were to remake this map with improved forging and more thought put into it, then the map could potentially be fun.

    Sorry to sound harsh, but its true. [​IMG]

    Also,NEVER put all of the spawn points in such small rooms with only one entrance,it's like you are trying to promote spawn camping.In the future,spread the spawn points out throughout the map so there is a lesser chance of getting spawn killed.

    Well as i agree with everyone else, Camping is a big problem, why do you want people to camp on a slayer match?

    As for the map a lot of work has to be done on it, as you said it's your first map it's pretty normal here that everyone's first map is pretty bad. But if you want to improve your map follow this link Forging 101 - Forge Hub This link will help you will your forge. It has all forging techniques you need to know.


    Castle maps don't really work on a competitive stlye you will have to change a lot of things around for this map to work.

    the blue team seams very overpoered either balance the teams out, or scrap the powerful weapon armorys,replace them with regular weapons or ammo for your starting class, spread the spawn points out over the castle and make it more of an infection varient.
