Siege map: Foothold (update: v2)

Finally finished after many hours of polishing, I present to you my first map: Foothold.
Specifically designed for cRPG and ladders, it will be hard to take without manual ladders, but not impossible. There are two back-doors, one quite far away and another inside the outer wall area (only reachable by ladders), both are sally doors that open from the inside (by both teams).

New in v2:
  • Reworked the spawnpoints, especially for defenders. Defenders spawn at outer wall as well now.
  • Removed a couple of doors, made the "backdoor" on the side have less HP.
  • Added barriers around the inner walls to protect against siege ladders. Attackers can use ladders on outer walls, and on the inner walls when they are inside the castle.
  • Some more polishing, a bit more cover at flag area.

Alteast for new siege maps, every map should get their own topic for feedback etc, can't keep a clear view if everything is placed in 1 thread.
And hey, thats what this forum was made for ;)

Now that the map is in circulation, it is time to start considering if/what changes are needed. Any feedback is useful!

Planned changes so far for v1.1:
- Tweaked spawnpoints, especially for defenders (more on outer walls at round start)
- New sally door with less "HP" as the side-backdoor. The backdoor in the back will remain the same I think.
- Possibly new barriers around the inner walls (forgot how long the crpg siege ladders are when I designed the map).

I just put this map up on the NA siege, I don't usually add maps unless they're PM'd directly to me, but I liked the cut of your jib. If you do update, would you mind PM'ing me with it as well?

Hopefully this will fix most of the problems with this map..
New in v2:
  • Reworked the spawnpoints, especially for defenders. Defenders spawn at outer wall as well now.
  • Removed a couple of doors, made the "backdoor" on the side have less HP.
  • Added barriers around the inner walls to protect against siege ladders. Attackers can use ladders on outer walls, and on the inner walls when they are inside the castle.

This has become my favorite map to defend. I love the fights around the flag. Only problem is that as an attacker, it's really only smart to go to the back door. Guaranteed loss if you attack from the front.
