    Hey,

    So I fixed up a map that I previously posted under the title "Levee" a while back. Since originally posting it, I have become much better at forging, so I wanted to jazz it up, make it look better as well as play better. I know I'm using premade structures, but I felt like they work well and have decided to keep them. I have fixed some issues involving gameplay, most notably the addition of the triple room to the far right. That area has really opened up the map and spread out the combat.

    I really love this area of Forge World and was happy to revisit this concept and give it the remake I think it deserves.

    I replaced bridge objects with braces, added a rock path on the far left leading to the Sniper, added a whole new area to the far right to provide additional routes to the top for attackers, and even changed some weapon locations.

    Overall, this map now plays just as I hoped it would. My aim was to create a High Ground supplement, a map well suited for one-sided objective games with 4v4 teams. I love the natural geometry of the map with the rocks and grass.

    Weapons:
    Health Station x 3
    Fragmentation Grenade x 2
    Plasma Grenade x 4
    DMR x 3
    Needle Rifle x 2
    Plasma Pistol x 1
    Plasma Repeater x 1
    Needler x 1
    Shotgun x 1
    Grenade Launcher x 1
    Sniper Rifle x 1
    Spartan Laser x 1

    Routes for the attackers: bridge, rock ledge, path down below

    This is the sniper area where the first bridge and rock path leads.

    Gravity lift leads to landing pad with needler on it. You can jump to and from land using the small bridge that isn't connected to anything.

    Thanks for checking it out!
