Hey guys. I said I would map for SourceForts, and hey, I am. This is my VERY FIRST MAP OF ALL TIME, so I expect there will be quite a number of criticisms coming my way, so make them constructive and not flames please. Here are screens of the FINAL version of the BETA. All suggestions and ideas will be considered and maybe implemented into the final version, which should probably not be too much different, unless requested by the people.

Looks good but I don't like building in dark maps...If you want it to be dark you can trigger a light to go off when fight-time begins

i hope u used func_detail for stairs :shock:

That map is just plain too dark... try adding some moonlight or floodlights.

func_detail on stairs, yep. about the darkness, I can put spotlights on the castles and shine down how about that? and like i said it's really a LOT brighter in-game, but I'll try and make it brighter with my light_env....also, ill add some spotlights. thanks for the feedback.

EDIT: Any suggestions on other ways to make it brighter, but still gloomy would be very helpful and appreciated.

Maybe give the players a little more incentive to build. It seems you've already done alot of the work for them, and all they have to do is add a bit on and then build within their pre-established base. I don't know what specifically to do though.

yea, like a river or somthing to devide the two teams

Uh, why? He's already got what looks like a ditch with those three bridges over it. Water isn't necessary (but is pretty annoying). Even if there was water, it still wouldn't encourage building because the bridges are already there.

Building bridges sucks anyway. Just let the other team do it for you.

PLEASE TAKE OUT THE RAIN! I HATE THE WAY CL_WEATHER 0 IS NOW CONSIDERED A CHEAT!

Map looks great, little dark and little plain but looks really good besides that.

well, i somehow managed to appeal to everyone. I took out the rain, and added a nice dusky atmosphere. I'll post up some screens soon, it looks a lot better now, thanks for the advice people!
