    EDIT: OK. I'm really sorry for the thread waste and many other things, but please let this thread die or, if possible, deleated. Once again, i am sorry.

    Hey, welcome to the past.
    Past Battles is a village-defense map, themed around the time when they only had their pistols, shotguns and swords, oh and a little magic too...

    [​IMG]
    This is the overview of the map.

    There is a centeral wall with interlocked grating for cover. There are two main buildings whith access to the open level above. There are two enterances in the main wall, but three minutes in the portcullisis' come down (make sure your not in the middle)!

    [​IMG]
    This is the village and wall (the portcullis' are down).

    On the other side of the wall is the attackers camp. This features a short tunnel leading around the camp, giving cover as you go. There are numerous blocks of cover to use whilst advancing on the wall. There is also a stable, featuring five horses (mongooses).

    [​IMG]
    This is the stable. Wait whats that by the ba... - oh, i see.

    To the left and right of the wall there are also small passages leading into the heart of the village, without allowing too much destruction.
    Another advantage the attackers have is their cannons. These will arrive two minutes in. You can use them to hurl the cannonballs (fusion coils) at the village, or hurl yoursels into the village.

    Here is the attackers camp.

    One other neutral feature is the Mage Cage. The enterence to this is by the left of the wall, and is a conceled teleporter.You will then be taken to another teleporter which you must jump through.
    The Mage Cage features access to spells of fire, water, earth and wind (firebomb, plasma, frag and spike grenades). As powerful as this may sound, once you are a mage, you cant go back... without suicide. You see, you have room to 'cast your spells', but the only way out is to 'curse' yourself.

    The Mage Cage... there is no escape.

    This map is set up far all gametypes, but the only one i would recomend is team slayer, using its partener varient 'Back then...'. Each team starts with a magnum and a shotgun, with four swords for each team. These swords will respawn in time. Ammunition is unlimited. Weapons do 110% damage.
    Each person has no shields, but are 200% damage resistant. Player speed is set to 125%, as is player gravity.

    The map is perfect for 8-12 players. I hope that you enjoy it and have fun!

    I'd love some feedback from you guys, with any improvements and problems, should you find them.

    Have fun!

    Seems interesting. Will download then edit later after I played it with a rating.

    Edit:

    Ok first of all I thought this was a intresting map. I thought the mongooses wern't really nessacery and they didn't have cars along time ago. I found a problem with one of the teleporters, apperntly when you go through 1 sender node it leads you too this place, and when you try to go back it says teleporter blocked. I thought you made good use of the double crates but I saw no need for the barriers with the fence wall. Some of the walls didn't really fit well, but this map goes great with the game variant, as the map is good for close quater combat. I thought you could add some weapons on the map but whatever.
    I give you :squirrel_wink: :squirrel_wink: :squirrel_wink: :squirrel_wink: :squirrel_wink: :squirrel_wink: little squrrels out 10 little squerrels. That means you get a Killtrocity! yay.

    Fun Meter:7/10
    Placement of objects:6/10
    Weapon placement:N/A
    Game variant:7/10
    Story:N/A
