Calling all Mappers - 4 Team Base Elimination

[Dameon Angell]

I was wondering if there are any mappers who can make a base map (Not baseelim, javs style, but a TWLB style base). This will be used for an 4 squad basing elimination match.

Needed - One base, one or 2 flagrooms (a la 2flag)
4 Safety Zones Equally distant from base
Perhaps 2 openings to front entrance.


Game - 4 teams vie for control of one (or possibly 2) flag(s). After 7 minutes of fighting, the freq (squad/team) with the lowest point total will be eliminated (specced). The timer, scores, and flag will reset and the players will all be warped. Next 7 minutes, another elimination occurs. Last 2 teams play for a final 7 minutes and last freq remaining wins.

Plz give me some tips/pointers on what you'd like to see modified to this game.

2flag..?

[Dameon Angell]

type ?go 2flag, i think. its a base with 2 flagrooms.

but just a note. for you non-believers thinking this won't work. I've done it with 3 teams in a pub base. I just need one extra safe, and an equal distance for all 4 to make this work better.

This can be done in webcrawler. The Terriers are attachable. Try it out?

[Vitron]

Yep, I have nothing to do.

If you want 4 teams, wouldn't it be preferable to have the base be centred and the starting safes to circle it? That way you can have more than one entrances and each safe will be fairly equal.

One option would be to rearrange the lower half of the entire base so that instead of one entrance straight down the middle, you'll have two, one on each of the sides between each pair of the lower "towers". In that arrangement, ships will go into the base and then up a central tunnel towards the mid-base and flag rooms. The flow of movement into the base and towards the flag would be like an upside-down T pattern.

[Dameon Angell]

I like troll king's idea. It doesn't have to be an offical looking base, make it a circle with the FR in the center.

This is what I've made so far. Comments/Suggestions?
The arrows are pointing to the two flags


edit: i havn't centered the base yet, but the safes are all equidistant apart

[Dameon Angell]

thats nice, very nice.

[Malladrin]

I made a map... so if you want it I'll send it in.
It has 1 flag in the inner room. It is quite easy to snatch from all sides of it, but if you can get your terrier inside one half of the inner room you'll probably be able to stay close to it longer. Made side tunnels so attackers might have a tactical advantage when one or two teams have been eliminated. (I mean outside flagroom so defenders would have to move their cram if they choose to cram)

Malla, the only thing I don't like about that setup is that two teams fight for each entrance. If you could alter it so that you have the bottom half of four bases connecting at the corners, so the entire base formed somewhat of a cross. and somehow you could tweak the central part to form 4 flagrooms merging together, i dont know how you'd do that.

[Malladrin]

As I see it, four entrences might sound good in theory but in practice it would lead to a free-way to flagroom and flag. One entrence works now for two teams, and I believe two entrences will work for four teams.

There will probably be only one big clash for the entrence to flagroom for two teams at once and that is in the beginning of the game. At other times you'll probably find yourself inside flagroom already when the other team comes and if needed you can then use the ear sidetunnels.

There's my final map. Click here to download it (Remember, if you don't open it in a map editor, it'll just show up in whatever pic program you use and show the tileset.. Right click, save target as)

[Dameon Angell]

submit this shizzle to twdev.

[schope]

i guess starks map is very good but flagroom has too many entrances and that would be a hell fight lolz

how about starks map with malla flag room ? :X
