Title: Petition to bring back a classic! (Forest Bridge Map)
Post by: dynamike on October 05, 2011, 08:15:46 pm
Some say the good old days of cRPG are gone forever.

No generation 25, level 40, black armor wearing, boulder on a stick swinging, jack of all trades charging down a bridge in a lush forest environment, stopping in their tracks only for a moment to take in the scenery and listen to the mumbling of the river down below, before they continue their devastating charge on the enemy. These times are no more.

But halt!

Not all that we had back then needs to be lost forever! This map, this scenery, this simple but tactically genius way of charging lines of archers on the bridge with shieldwalls while cav is battling on the riversides and flankers flank their flanks until they unite in fierce battle, it can return to us!

All we have to do is make it happen...

Bring back the Forest Bridge map we all so love to hate! +1 if you want a classic to return to a server near you!

I hardly see the point of EXP bridge maps unless they buff ladderpaulting again.  4 siege ladders and instant deployment by turning around and having the ladder raise in the middle of the enemy clump of infantry, flinging at least half a dozen to deaths (that counted as suicides):  one of the highlights of old cRPG.

Ladderpaulting was hi-larious (from a safe distance) and always reminded me of that scene in Blazing Saddles where they set off the dynamite in the fake town and the villains and horses went flying up in the air.  I can't find the clip so I'm just going to leave this one here:  http://youtu.be/JMK6lzmSk2o (http://youtu.be/JMK6lzmSk2o)

Yeah, bring that map back!

Aaaaaah a refreshing walk down memory lane.

Bring this map back and I promise I help you invent other ways to troll on it  :D

Just remembered how once a whole group of archers suicide-jumped off the bridge after their team's melee was killed. Good times  :D

Also fun: kicking shielders off the bridge.

God I love that map!

A good classic, but there already are enough cav-unfriendly maps out there.

Let's create range-unfriendly maps like a giant wheat farm (you don't see anything).

Or inf-unfriendly maps with a death canyon you can only jump over with a horse.

You know, to balance it up.

Post by: Cyclopsided on October 07, 2011, 06:41:44 am
I'm going to add in that most of the maps in NA right now are garbage compared to a lot of the old ones.

Removing the bad old maps was good, but we lost most of the good fun ones too.
I loved this map, struggling to hide behind a random friendly huscarl as he advances across the bridge to survive the hailstorm of arrows. Forced teamwork of all three classes. All 3 are good on it.

(but remove the invisible trees.)

Post by: Tomas on October 07, 2011, 12:26:52 pm
+1 from me aswell.

Whilst I agree that most maps should have intersting features that are different for either side, it is still good to have the occasional map that is pretty much the same for both sides.

Nekkid Mike day is something that definitely needs a revival as well! +1 to you, sir!

For the newer players:

Nekkid Mike day was founded in honor of former _RS member Mike who was sent to Afghanistan with the US army. To symbolize the struggles and strains of war we all dress down to next to nothing (head gears, preferably funny ones, are the only thing allowed) and beat the living shit out of each other - melee only style!

It is good clean fun as it sets the peasant even with the tincan and emphasizes on melee skills rather than gear. It is also a nice way of gaining lots of gold, since the upkeep costs are drastically reduced.

I know the TunaTown server owners were thinking about bringing the event back to NA on Mondays... whatever happened to that?

Bring back Nekkid Mike day!

+1 the OP if you like cookies, nudity and/or puppies!

Simply re size the trees to normal scale, that will get rid of it.

I prefered the map with that single stone bridge that stretched across a vast river, I have fond memories of this map. I think they used to play it alot in NA, whenever you could see Lady Gaga on his plate charger in a wedding dress and all his majesty.

Alas, bridge maps they are my loveth, for much action is shed on their grimey planks and stones
bring it back I say! Or risk a tooth or bone!

Thank you Dama, just because the ATS servers lost a vote doesn't mean we have to be without all the good stuff that was on there. It is for all out benefit after all.

Those are some maps i would like to play on again, but those aren't on the top of my list, I can't find picture but one is like 2 mountains with a large valley in between and one team has to crossover the valley and they all meet by a ruin on the other mountain.

The next is a map where you spawn on some hills and  there is a small wooden bridge to cross, or you can just go down then up.

The next one is where both teams spawn in a valley, and the valley is like a cross where there are hills on the 4 corners.
