Question about the "No fantasy maps" rule.

Obviously flying castles and stuff like that wouldn't be allowed, but what about an underground castle type thing?

Had an idea for a siege map, (and we need new siege maps.) but I wouldn't want to spend all the time making it for nothing.

Well, Throughout history it has been done many times where castles/fortifications are built into the side of mountains, where even a majority of the fortification itself has been underground.
It's convenient, really. I'd do that if I was building one. Cuts down how many sides you can be attack from dramatically.

It wouldn't be fantasy, so no problem?

As an NA admin, I am the most laid back and concerned with the ~fun of the game~ above all other factors. I've also been super inactive since Summer 2012. University takes most of my time, but I still find some time to play when i can.

The map should fit for the Calradia world.
So medieval castles and stuff.

However not like in this pic:
(click to show/hide)

You could make a Bandit hideout siege. Where the flag would be inside the cave with dungeon and tunnels.
Or like Marathon did say: A castle in side of mountain where the flag could be in dungeon underground ( see Kurosh city).

Would I have to make some part of the castle sticking out? I had planned on just sticking an entry in the side of a mountain.

Do it: maybe some small holes with raise/drop ladder access to get into the cave system, so attackers can get in to open main tunnel entrance, but remember to have a few "caverns" with galleries so gaibois with ranged weapons got something to do :D
I don't know enough
