KUTT will never be fully dead as long as Xeen, Celti, and myself are around. We may not be playing as actively as we used to be, but we haven't fully quit. I personally wouldn't have a problem if KUTT reverted to a small teamwork based clan again.

Those who stay are always welcome, but those who decide to move on to bigger and better things will have no hard feelings brought against them.

Yay my 3 maps (Himmelsberg, Rochester, Devonshire) are in Para's suggested rotation

Yeah I love your maps. You're the only map maker around that tweaks his maps based on feedback that I know of, which results in progressively improving maps.

What's Para's rotation, for reference? Is there a thread or anything with map titles and/or screenshots?

Keep in mind the rotation I suggested kept all of the maps from the old rotation, minus hrafninn castle (the ultimate server killing map) while adding a few of the old classics. I didn't have much to work with in terms of adding additional maps because even though the physical files were available, there weren't entries in the scenes.txt I had (without an entry the server just goes to random plains). I didn't want to make too much work for the person implementing the rotation so I just added ones that were in the scenes.txt but weren't in the rotation.

My main objective was to get a "fresher" rotation in play without adding maps that weren't balanced or too confusing to a new player. If the rotation I suggested were to gain some popularity, I was hoping that would gain me some more clout with the community and developers to allow me to create an even better, balanced, and interesting rotation.

I haven't had the chance to play on the newly added maps yet. I had the opportunity to spectate other player playing them, and some of them looked incredibly confusing. I'm really not a fan of labyrinthy maps.

The map I removed:

(click to show/hide)

This map causes a major drop in server population at least half the time it comes up. It boils down to the attackers having to run upward for over a minute and thirty seconds to even get to the flag just to arrive at the choice of getting choked with a chance of falling to your death, or getting choked. The only real way that attackers ever win is if the defenders either get lost trying to find the flag, or get impatient waiting for the attackers to get to the flag and running out and dying needlessly somewhere else.
I'll use Zino's image of this map because I was too lazy to grab my own

Maps I added:

quick_battle_scene_4:

(click to show/hide)

One of the best classic maps that I never understood why it was removed from the rotation.  A small map, but offers a ton of non-stop action. Defenders have to focus on blocking the siege tower and side ladder in the beginning, once the tower landing is overtaken by the attackers and the gate is opened, the defenders can fall back and defend the flag area. The flag area is big enough to allow a good deal of group combat while still keeping things interesting for both teams.

quick_battle_scene_5

(click to show/hide)

This one is more geared toward archers, both on the front wall defending the oncoming siege tower and the flag area being on the ground below the castle walls. Use of the chokepoints on the front of the walls is necessary to hold off the quick reinforcements of the attackers. Once the attackers take over the front landing, the fighting becomes more centric in the flag area, which allows for large group fights.

quick_battle_7

(click to show/hide)

Another small map with a use for every class. Infantry secure the tower landing and open the side gate, allowing for cav to come in and support the flag area. Archers also have a clear shot on the flag area from the walls. The flag area offers for more chaotic group fights.

kurosch_city

(click to show/hide)

The "Underground" map as I call it. The map seems fairly labyrinthy, but It's pretty straightforward. Not much action occurs on the surface. From my experience, the underground battles are always intense if the defenders known the right places to hold up.

quick_battle_2

(click to show/hide)

This map caters more to cav than any other siege map out there. Once the attackers overcome the wall defenders, giant open field battles can occur in the massive inner courtyard.

native_brunwud_castle

(click to show/hide)

A solid native map, not sure why this one was removed. Once attackers infiltrate the walls, they have a choice of attack the flag building from the front, while securing the large outer doors. They can also attack from the back doors of the flag building and catch the defenders by surprise.

There were a few other maps that I wanted to add but was told they had some kind of exploit on them that was never fixed.

Ok then how come Para Kutt and other admins been promoting that kind moves? And never any other admins in the game even warned anyone and even did that strategy themself?

\

I ALWAYS warn people that they will be dealt with if they attack through solid doors, I'm sure other people can attest to that. I've never once "promoted" or advocated such a thing. Grated doors on the other hand, are fair game to stab through with a pike.

Looks like they put in the EU map rotation, I guess mine didn't make it through.

Yeah, siege has been down for a while now. Makes me sad.

Also, Adalwulf told me that it *might* be that they're adding Para's new map rotation, but only time will tell.

Pretty sure it just crashed and nobody bothered to bring it back up/knows that it's even down. It should take 10 seconds of copying and pasting to actually implement the map rotation I suggested. I'll try to pester chadz today to get things moving.

Putting all of the clan hate/rivalry aside. I do think the main problem with siege not being able to stay populated is the extremely stale map rotation. I saw this problem coming weeks ago, and I submitted a new map rotation. It did get accepted (with a few tweaks) and I was under the impression that it was already implemented and that it only needed a server restart in order to get the new rotation working.

I guess that never happened though. Apparently we need somebody with a higher authority (chadz/cmp) to implement the rotation and restart the server. So if anyone wants the rotation to change, those are the people that have to do it.

Tinoshi is a notorious griefer and TKer and lies through his teeth while doing it. I banned him from the KUTT TS because he flat out refused to admit he was Tinoshi. Anything he claims with any innocence cannot and should not be trusted.

Mauls received a huge nerf when the turnspeed nerf was applied. All you have to do is either swing when they are overheading or move to the side (or both). Just never EVER stab at a mauler.
