To all : If you think defense has too big of an advantage - give thoughts on how that could be more balanced, if you have them.

Lower the keep lol
I've never played a server where people split up as much or as often as on EU1.  No wonder range is having a field day.

yeah tzar, the door bug is the fact that the door HP is determined by the server based on population, and when it decides that, most people have not loaded the map yet...so the door HP is put too low.  the solution would be a buffer round....people have suggested this and i think it will be fixed soon.

betard, what is pretty bad?  please elaborate

Thanks for this thread, and thanks for this map. (I have to admit that I have ever checked out the scene editing area)

I have had a lot of fun playing on this map, and in essence it plays a lot like one of the old siege maps on the community server (I can't remember its name, but the tile set was yellow bricks and there was only one set of stairs to the top of the keep). At first glance this map looks heavily slanted towards the defenders, but once attackers get a foot hold on top of the keep and cut off reinforcements from using the stairs, the map turns out to be only slightly advantageous for defense. I think that the suggestion of moving the attackers spawns forwards is really all that is needed to even the playing field (that or lowering the entire keep structure, although that might be to much work).
Now for the things that I think are great about this map. First of all the flag area makes for a great fighting ground, the different levels, the sectioning of the area, and barriers (this area alone turns flag camping from a boring necessity into a fun task). I love the side rout you can take after climbing ¾ of the back door stairs (which involves some risky jumping) because it allow a couple of guys to sneak onto the flag area, while making it impossible to take a large force through this route. Lastly, this map looks spectacular; kudos on it's scenic quality.

Thanks Roin...

You mentioned moving attacker spawns closer.  Just want to get clarification because I kinda recently patch it to move the main bulk of the attack spawns closer to the siege tower side, which is pretty close to the walls/ladders, etc.

The attack spawn across the bridge is further yet, but I think most people now spawn by siege tower...
In fact, the first attack spawn ( entry point 32) is over by the siege tower so ALL attackers spawn there at round start.

Are you thinking spawns still need to be closer?

I played on it once and it really seemed super balanced, most of the time defenders spawned near the flag, keep and wall around flag make it harder to attack but at the same time the attackers always fight next to or right outside flag. No room here for Rambos IMO. Prolly one of my favs.

This is really good map. It's  pretty balanced but maybe slightly favoring defenders because those nice shooting places near the 2 doors.
