i'll have to look how the balance works out, after some weeks playing and improve it.
so it's somewhat of a beta version now.

if you have actuall feedback to the map i'd be aprecciated

[Camaris]

there wouldnt be any sense in this forum if we all wrote in one thread

Hey mate, sorry for reviving the thread, but would it be possible to you tweak the map a bit now that ladders have been removed from the servers?

As i asked to jacko:

Hey jacko, since you might have been afk on IRC for a long time I'll post here my feedback on one of the maps in Siege rotation.

It's actually not a C map, it's most specifically the Forest Assault map, which is very unbalanced now without ladders. It's very easy for defense to keep the only 2 entrances very well blocked and guarded all the time.

Perhaps an extra ladder on the left wall would be a good addition (with some additional small tweaks to safeguard defense).

Tell me what you think about it, I'll pm Cohen regarding it since he's the map creator.

If you don't have the time, I can easily tweak it a bit, all credits are yours, it's just to balance things a bit.

Eagerly waiting for feedback,
koldborn

map is fine as is now that siege ladders are not useable

there are 4 ways to get inside the main gate and 4 to get inside inner walls, no need for even more ways

[karasu]

4? Are you talking about the same map?

There's a ladder in front easy to block several proceeding doors, and a backdoor where the second door only 1 person at the time can hit.

Not to mention that all the defense entry points are close to the flag due to the map being relatively small.

I'll post pics in a few then.

[Camaris]

I will talk to cohen.
He´ll probably find some time to add a second ladder on the back somewhere i guess so its not a primary attack direction.

[karasu]

I PM'd him yesterday. It's just so if he sees fit to do some changes or not, since Jacko is yet to say anything, the lazy bastard.

cheers

Left side water, siege ramp, right side archer deck ladder, backdoor

[Elmuri]

You are talking about a different castle I think

That's a different castle mate. The one I'm talking you can easily check on the Op post.

Well, so far I haven't had a problem with the map. It's defender biased, but adding another ladder would (imo) make it too easy for attackers; they already have such a short way to the flag from the initial spawn.

I can give the changes a try, but I fear it will favor the attackers too much.
 

[karasu]

Ok, since I already PM'd the creator let's see what he does.

Cheers
