The time to attack the port city of Ag'yggran'ya'yan was right.  Stone masons hadn't yet finished the double thick rock wall around the main gate's winch.

PITFALLS

(click to show/hide)

Pitfalls is an abandoned arabian city.  This is an unconventional battle map due to winch-driven trap doors which can dump dozens of players to their deaths.

Will your team's infantry risk the fall to gain the advantageous high-ground?

Details are kept to a minimum to help FPS.  I've tried to instill a lot of incentive for teams to march over the trapdoors.  Archers will love the rooftop havens, if they can make it there.  Cavalry also have lots of wide open spaces at street level, so just the evasion of cavalry alone is a good incentive to run over the pit.

Cavalry have their own special routes to reach the winches with great speed...will your archers kill them in time?

The pitfall itself is ridiculously long.  Both are 100 meter drops.  I wanted a pitfall death to be eventful.  Swordplay with your teammates is possible on the way down!!

GLACIER VALLEY v2

Version 2 is massively different from the original, especially from the relocation of the west team's starting point.

Usually keeps like this are HIGHLY irritating camp places.  This is due to chokepoints from single routes.  Not in this map.

The keep is surrounded by scaffolding.  There are three routes to the second level and four routes to the top.  The ramp allows cavalry access (they can ride all the way to the top).  This heavy use of alternate routes denies camping a chokepoint, promoting flanking and flow.  The keep will still be highly desirable to take, so it should be a lot of fun to see battles unfold here with the unusual amount of Z-axis.

[Vibe]

This looks great!

[B3RS3RK]

This should be set as the only map ever to come on all battle servers.

[Joelturuz]

Perhaps consider moving one of the spawns so neither can shoot directly at the other the second they spawn. That could be rather annoying.

Other than that seems good. Looks gorgeous.

[dynamike]

Looks amazing and would provide a nice alternative to the current battle map. Seems very professionally done.

Only concerns are: direct shooting between spawns (like the previous poster said).

Also, the relative closeness of the spawns and open sand in between may encourage a cav heavier side to charge directly into the other spawn area when not all players are ready yet. Maybe a small river between spawns to slow down cav and force them to take the longer route around the village?

[Lennu]

Looks great, and quite unique map aswell.

I'm worried about the water. Will all the archers end up camping underwater and shooting from there?

Reading helps.

Good feedback here!

Underwater camping will not be an issue:

I could see this being a potential problem, but it's a pretty long distance.  I don't think I have been hit by an arrow from that distance in my (somewhat short) time playing cRPG, but if spawn spam ends up being a problem I will fix it!

Cavalry charging in to the enemy spawn should be less of a problem than most maps.  Most maps have spawns on flat land which can be entered and exited by cav from any direction.  Cavalry can jump on to the ship from the front,  but maneuverability is limited in those areas.

she´s a beauty...

[bravesquirrel]

Yessss, you're finally mapping for c-rpg.  mapQuality++

[papageorgio]

This map needs to be put on the server ASAP!

I don't think the shooting between spawns will really be an issue, but can't wait to find out.

[Shadowren]

Nice map hope it gets added and +1 

[dodnet]

It's a real beauty. With tropical houses it would be even more beautiful. I'd love to fight in there during sunset 

[Gomer]

I like it but can see cav just charging the begging I say perhaps move spawn points to force use of some tactics But sexy map!

[B3RS3RK]

Thinking of it, i would add 2, maybe 3 Siege shields at each spawn facing the other spawn.Far enough away from each other to let cavalry maneuver through it if necessary, but still a little protection.
