<Insert name of the map here> 0.2 is now done.
Yeah I don't have a name for it, call it whatever you wish!
It's my first map, believe it or not, that I've ever finished, I was very motivated by forces unseen. So do not expect miracles, I'm a novice, and not everything will look perfect and will most likely contain a bug or two.
It's a city map containing a large city with vast underground tunnels and walkable rooftops. A huge castle(Which I might've overdone.) with several layers containing prisons, torture chambers, secret tunnels in and out of the castle, a throne room etc.
Cavalry will be at a dissadvantage obviously and the map layout should provide more RP then random killings, it's afterall the King's and his 'factions' duty to keep the city safe.
You're obviously free to play it however you wish, allthough this is the scenario I thought of when making it:
The current King is an evil dictator who tortures, inprisons and executes the populace at his whim. His 'loyal' brigades, the Red, Blue, Green, White and Yellow have their small barracks inside the city. While the King entertains himself by throwing off dissenters of his tall castlewall, the different brigades are scheming and plotting, they naturally wish to become the ruler themselves.
They'll gather supporters in the dark, away from the King's eyes and ears and when the time is ripe... revolution, civilwar and bloodbath!
Pictures along with designer notes - and yes, I'm a total n00b when it comes to these forums, I never get the spoiler-thing right, anyways, here they are!
-Town Square-
http://img25.imageshack.us/f/view5g.jpg/
- I added a few of these, I didn't want the map to be completly covered with houses, there has to be somewhat of a open space here and there.
-Church-
http://img85.imageshack.us/i/view6.jpg/
- Was among the last things I added, the Church combined with a platform designed for public executions should remind the people of its place.
-Marketplace-
http://img23.imageshack.us/i/view7d.jpg/
- I needed a mine and instead I got a marketplace which contains pretty much everything, the ruling King should always keep order inside.
-Main Street-
http://img832.imageshack.us/i/view8.jpg/
- The main street was probably the first thing I did, I needed a road from the first gatehouse to the royal gatehouse. Which city doesn't have one?
-Town Square with Red Entrence-
http://img594.imageshack.us/i/view9.jpg/
- A small barrack, each 'faction' got one, well except maybe the Yellows, whatever. They contain all the basic things you need.
-Rooftops-
http://img441.imageshack.us/i/view18a.jpg/
- I wanted the city to contain three levels - Underground, surface and rooftops. This is the ideal place for assassins, beware though, you can be sniped from the city walls.
-Tunnel Entrence-
http://img101.imageshack.us/i/view10.jpg/
- I knew from the start that I wanted lots of underground tunnels, there are several entrences. They'll most likely be filled with shady characters, enter on your own risk!
-Brigand Hideout-
http://img843.imageshack.us/i/view11.jpg/
- Deep down in the catacombs the brigands now got their own staging point. I wanted to give them some love too, even though I hate you.
-'Secret Legendary' Crypt-
http://img837.imageshack.us/i/view12.jpg/
- Some place 'hidden' lies the great crypt of the fallen Legendary Great Sword warriors, become one of them, fight like a champion or it'll be your skull who lies among them.
-Castle-
http://img80.imageshack.us/i/view16.jpg/
http://img64.imageshack.us/i/view17.jpg/
- I dubbed it the E-peen Tower, the ruler is obviously compensating for something. I wanted to make it big, and it is, it can be seen from almost anywhere inside the city. There should be no doubt over where the ruler lives. It contains several floors with a throne room, prisons, execution chambers, armory, cheap beds for the soldiers, etc. It's accessable from the maingate aswell as two 'secret' tunnels, leading up to the castle.
-Throne Room-
http://img130.imageshack.us/i/view14h.jpg/
At first I really overdid the Throne Room, I wanted it to be ridiculously majestic, but after a while I felt that I should be moderate with the props, I value less-lag and flawless playability then overdone-ridiculously-good-looking-laggy scenes. Come on, I'm sure we all want to be able to duel properly without lag.
-Torture Chamber-
http://img375.imageshack.us/i/view13.jpg/
-A nice feature, throw in a prisoner, grab a wooden stick, have a buddy lock the room for you with a portcullis and then beat the living **** out of the victim.
-City View-
http://img706.imageshack.us/i/view15.jpg/
-As the ruler, this view will be seen alot, I know it will get dull so here's a tip for you: Grab a bow and play marksman with a friend, the targets are the citizens, obviously.
That's the screenshots I have. I'm not showing everything of course.
So, anyone willing to host it?
