Is this posted on MBrepository?

No because i still have to do some minor tweaks and more important i dont know how to share my map with you ;)

[Wallace]

Sign up on Mbrepository and post it... I can in turn download it and actually look at it rather than vague screenshots

[Camaris]

Yeah my problem is what files exactly are my map?

[Camaris]

Finally. Im done with the map and i guess i cant do anything more until it got played and i got feedback.
(Or someone of you is having a look at it and has some advices.)

PS: It would be especially lovely if it could find its way on EU5 or EU6 cause those are the servers
i visit most of the time ;)
If my map still lacks Quality to be played so just tell me your critics so i can improve it.

PPS: Mapping is such a fun ;)

Looks nice, but please think about the custom ladders. It will be possible to just ladder to that 1 wall (without the walkway) behind the flag, then jump on the roof of that house and get down to the flag without taking damage, forcing defenders to camp flag all the time.
Possible solutions: A way for defenders to reach ladders going up there, or just place an invisible barrier, blocking it off.

[Camaris]

In the version uploaded that way is already blocked by an invisible barrier.
I want people to focus on the other sides of the wall. Probably i will remove them later
and make the cliffs more near to the wall so ladders are impossible to place.

But it should be a good solution for the first playtests until i know how balancing is atm.

[Leiknir]

Did add it to the servers, blank38. If you want, and I am there, get into IRC and I can switch the map to it

[Camaris]

Updated it just the problem with the siege tower left... will fix this next update.

Update: Version 1.2
- siege tower fixed.

[Camaris]

Played it today one time with more then 20 people in the fixed version.
Result was 3-2 for defenders. Didnt expect this.

Some ideas i got from people playing:
- move attackers spawn closer to the siege materials. ( have to be careful i dont move them to close)
- move siege tower nearer to his end place (it lasts more then a minute to bring him to wall => sucks => will change it)

[Leiknir]

Don't be too hasty with changes before people "know" the map. The "open gate, then jump down behind the other gate" combo is pretty nasty, but I never saw anyone except me using it.

Nothing wrong with 3-2 for defenders, not every castle has to be an attacker heaven.

[Camaris]

Edited a lot on the map.
Look at changelog and the new screenshots.
Should improve fun playing it ;)

[Cohen]

actually pretty nice done!

i'm looking forward to play this.
