As you can see, its Helm's Deep from LOTR, based heavily on the movie version, with a few tweaks to make it more playable and more accurate to the book. I've only been working on it for 2 days and its very early WIP still. Most all the walls are up but that's about it I also did a little bit of terrain modding and painting of course, but it still needs a long way to go.

THis map looks great! I can't wait to play it on the server soon.

Alright, I finished putting barriers in the side passage and I finally uploaded pics to show changes I made to Sky Castle like right after it came out. I just wanted to give both a time for people to test out. All I did was move the gate house to face the other spawn so maybe some people will go downstairs and look around. I also did a little beautification (caught two ramps sticking out of a wall.

And I enlarged the other spawn so people won't spawn outside the barrier.

Links to download are the same as they were before.

Played that map earlier, was a neat map, but wow, that file is HUGE.

lol, I KNOW! I probably said it before, but there's some kind of bug in my game that if I don't carefully watch the file size, it might spike ultra high!

Take Pueblo Village for example. I've done a lot of terrain modification, put a lot of objects and a TON of barriers, yet the current file size is less than 100 kB. Of course, after Sky Castle, I watched the file for Pueblo Village like a hawk!

Hope to see it on the server soon. What I've seen of it, it looks fun....though I might have to make an archer character specifically for that map!

Well I've just started development on a snowy map with two tent-filled encampments with a mostly open field between them and a small forest to the side, along with a shallow stream cutting across the center. Any recommendations? Ideas?

Screens PLZ!!!!

Had to unfortunately ditch the snowy theme due to Village_hut_a (The tents) seeming out of place... it's going to be Vaegirs vs. Nords. The initial terrain layout is done, here it is.

Thran, thought I would pop in and give you some feedback after playing several of your maps

Played your sky castle map earlier, I had fun, but most players thought it was way too large, after 5 rounds the score was 1-1, my entire clan commited mass suicide by jumping off the side of the castle to speed up the round. I would suggest you revert the map back to a smaller version to speed things up.

Your canyon village map is a hit after adding the side passage, great job! The only complaint I heard from folks was the surreal nature of the canyon walls.

Thanks for the feedback! I'll try and make updates as I find time.

Naval engagement. This is tricky to do sice players who fall in the water with ahorse will live when they hit the sea floor. I am adding a AI barrier half way down the 200 meter drop, so when horses hit it they die and the rider still has to fall 100 meters.

Finished. Spawns are good, I might add some AI mesh for bot battles.
NOTE: It looks better on foot. Trust me.

South = Ruins
West = Spawn (Sarranid?)
East = Spawn (Vaegir?)
North = Forest
Center = River/Farm

It's a mostly open map with a bit of vegetation. I personally love it so far, and hope the players wont' just charge down the middle like headless chickens.

For example, the Vaegir's home base is a fairly fortified point. The river is hard to cross (Spikes in the shallows) and there's a small fortification nearby. They also have instant access to the forest.

On the other hand, the Sultanate has access to a large ruins site and is given cover by some scattered debris and the farmhouse.

Nastur, think you could add some fires around the sinking boats?
