this is basically the thread i posted on TWL, so if anyone doesnt visit there, here you are
yes terrain sucks right now, but this will hopefully turn out to be a pretty decent map. general overview:
both tribes in a closed in space, flags i think were about 500m from each other. bases are cut out of the mountains, and high up on the slopes to allow for heavies and lights to gain speed when descending. at the bottom of the slope is a bowl for height (and i'll be working on middle-ground terrain all this week). the flags, i dont know if you can see them in the pics above, WILL eventually be over a large body of water, ala confusco minus the lava, or possibly lakeside. i plan on putting in a "piping system" below ground, but flooded, that has a few downstairs routes to the flags, and those pipes would come out in the pools that have the flags.
right now i'm debating on whether or not to include a higher dimension to the map, some floating platforms that house the generators to the FFs, or sitting those gens somewhere on the ground. this idea is the one i'd need the community input on, and the gens will probably be the last thing i put into the map. i'll post more pics as the map comes along. i hope to be ready for a public beta by thanksgiving.
