castle and the hallucitron

[hallucination]

Good work guys! I like it when ppl take initiative and make stuff happen!

after a play session yesturday, it's clear that the above design isnt great for fast action.. basically the time it takes to get in there to engague is a little too long. you tend to fight at the entry points rather than battle to get to the center. but it is fun, i have a couple of ideas to tweek to make it faster and will try and post later today or tomorrow sometime.



the castle wobit made (not shown here) was much more like the calssic castle and had fast play.. more focused on getting into and owning the center section. it was fun to play and a vast improvement on the castle currently in the main arena.

here's a re-design. the assault idea is the same but i've made a couple more entry points and its now much faster to get into. also this design is a few tiles shorter and narrower.



do you think you could try this variant out for us wobit?

Looking forward to playing it!

just seen the new castle in pub.. not too fond of it actually. doesn't seem to have much going for it. why did you go with that design?



the best was wobits 'house'. which played really fast and was great fun... why not go with that?



son i am dissapoint

This is the fix not a new map. Had a lot of fun playing it for about 2 hours tonight! got a 300 bounty <img src='http://www.subspace.co/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> darting in and out,



The wobbit house and other great designs i'm sure will show up in wob's next map!





Thanks again for the work!

I like the new castle modifications. But the radical "Wobbit House" still gets my vote - it's fresh, energetic, well-designed, and most importantly, very fun to play <img src='http://www.subspace.co/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

had a great idiot box play with axe and some others the other day, really fun. . . but it was in J12 and not the new castle. as i said at the time, if the castle was how it should be, we'd all be playing there instead of the rather long in the tooth and tired J12 base!!



please bring wobits house into the arena instead of this castle, which is an improvement on what it was.. but nowhere near as good as the house or even our fat assault variant

[Capt ARGH!]

the wobits house area is a big hit. gets lots of play and is really fun.!! thanks for making it wobit and thanks for putting it in there hallu!



it's very much an idiot box in medium to high pops and very difficult to defend. not a bad thing. perhaps next time we can try more of a defend-able base.



@ wobit; to that end, i'd like to develop our assault castle design. next time i'm on i'll check !go wobit to see if youre there.

Wobit's house is shit because it makes me die a lot! (what's new?)

[Capt ARGH!]

just noticed that you can't lay a horizontal brick in the middle section of wobit's house. why is that?
