Thanks!

To anyone still interested, I have seriously remastered this map and uploaded it here. This is for you if you found this map unbalanced:
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2623642976

The map is beautiful. Layout is great. But the flags and spawn points layout I do not like one tiny bit.
Playing with 50 bots, every single game just turned into a big bot campfest in the courtyard, Every single mode except Skirmish. It is almost impossible for the beach team to capture the courtyard. there are spawns for the middle literally surrounding the courtyard flag. That gets boring quick. So I got bored and shot/snuck my way around the courtyard to cap the flag on top of the hill. OH NO! The dreaded uncapturable flag! Seriously, each team can only capture 2 flags? There are on 4 total on the map. And Puzube nailed the spawn point problem in the courtyard.
You have some great maps that have a permanent spot in my favorites. This will not be one of them

As is intended. You really have to take command of your forces and not just run in solo :) Also, as mentioned earlier, using the command map mechanics really helps.

Fun map, only complaint is that taking courtyard at the very least feels damn near impossible mainly due to the defenders spawning in the corner between the gates.

Fun Fact: If you spawn a yamaha (From sports pack) you can actually go all the way up to the sumit of the fort.
10/10 Map real fun, Idk why someone would hate, definetly I will be following it!

The castle is easy to defend but hard to attack,so the circumstance of blue team is not good~~

<3

Yeah haters will hate, paying my RESPECT for u here man.

Stitch ups, mate XD The rating speaks for itself, haters will hate ^_^ I'm glad you enjoy it - I do too ;)

Idk why these people are hating on your map, its one of my favorites

I say that because many communities and mod pages need that example. It will help draw in more players and creators rather than amount to nothing.

Put that into games that more people play and can enjoy together to actually make stronger communities and it will actually be worth something. If you really do have that kind of output then wasting it here where it is limited can be seen as just nothing, like your map before you make fixes and fine tunes to it.

I have a lot of patience for a lot of things. ^_^ I also have faith in people that they can be a little more considerate once you show them that you are human and with treat them respectfully, as long as they take the opportunity you present to soften and reciprocate. :)

Oof, Maffnwy, you have far more patience than i do for a comment that basically amounts to "It's red-favoring, map is shit, make one better for me and it will be better of you do that to make it better", lol.

If you want a more balanced map, check out PARADYSE v2, or my most recent one Dune Rush :) I hope you enjoy them, I make them for that purpose specifically! For absolutely free, too! :D Lucky you!

But yeah, in summary I agree with your point, it is a challenge, but it's meant to be - If you find it too hard, I suggest playing an easier map ^_^

I also suggest using your Battle Planner in the inventory menu, forcing AI to always charge - a lot of the bots just sit around at the spawn, but if you order them to constantly charge, the map balances out a little more - also commanding about ten of them with you when attacking a point helps :D Thank god for game mechanics!

Bam! That's more like it. Well i toyed with some things here and there when I was making it, but found everything a little too easy. I find in it's current state I win about 60-70 percent of the matches I play on it (maybe because I made it and am used to it) - but there is definitely something of a learning curve with the melee weapons and how to best use kick and arrows in tandem with that, but generally the fight goes out of the courtyard and up the ramp to the foot of the hilltop bridge, just before the main hall. That being said, I do agree it's easier defending, as I can generally keep the fight to the courtyard. That being said, I personally don't mind it being a challenge to attack - Castles are harder to take than they are to defend without siege weapons :) when somebody makes some mounted crossbows and catapults to match the medieval stuff, I'll definitely add some vehicle spawners to make things interesting, but for now I kind of like it where it's at.

Lack of pathfinding and physical routes on the map design result in it being biased to Red team. changing the map could bring in the balance as well as new ideas to help you fix the mistakes made here and in your future creations, giving us better mods down the road.

Do you have any recommendations as to how you'd improve it? :) I like constructive criticism ^_^

Describing your comment too - nice one :D

Horribly biased, just terrible and not worth the time.

really? Nice.

Fixed!

hey did you place a one-way pathfinding box over the front drawbridge hill? Reds can attack down the hill, but blues cant walk up. Is that intentional? it kinda screws with the balance, and with the player, to not have a second valid entrance route.

I hate V.I.P. mods too.
Awesome map it's my fav (I F$#KING forgot how to spell it) right now.

Thank you though!

I played with a second point in the castle but it ruined balancing - i may well expand on it later on. For now i can do nothing due to dead pc

This is a very good map, and original concept too. I haven't seen many maps where you work your way up a mountain, I like it a lot. I think you could make it bigger with more land around the castle, like a field or windmill. As for capture points, I think you should add another point in the kinda village area as well.

Because on a site that belongs to the ripper, they can make ad revenue off the hard work of the people who never intended to turn a profit in the first place. On one hand, it's quite resourceful. On the other, it's honorless and a simple, easy way to make a buck for the quite frankly unskilled, untalanted and unprincipled.

I have a serious question for everyone here: why the FUCK would you rip steam mods and host them elsewhere? You are literally inconveniencing everyone. Its just easier to install mods through steam, you give a bad reputation to whoever hosts them, and you piss off the original content creator. Mods are free, and as proven by Bethesda the moment you start asking for money for them everyone gets shafted. I sincerely don't understand the purpose of trying to rip steam mods, its honestly a colossal waste of time.

This map was actually much better than I expected. I saw the thumbnail and thought no way is this going to be good. It looked like all the other crappy easy levels people have created with the super limited map maker

This map is simply amazing! If you put on some medieval battle music with all the mods, it makes it feel as if you're in a real war! The only problem I see so far is that the castle checkpoint takes so long to capture. After I won the battle, I sent all my troops up there to capture the flag and took it forever! Superlative map, though!

:(

Not for a few months id say due to pc death :(

WW2 Map when?

Also, difficulty will increase with number of bots

And remember -battalions not point match

I suggest some mods that make this map really shine in the description - check them out

Its designed sith the medieval weapons and bow in mind for sure - ghns are less balanced in it

If they don't die the same time, they don't move the same time. The two castle doors are very advantageous to the Ravens and they can't break through.

Perhaps I would need to use the medieval weapons or sth.

I can take.them - are you using the strategy map?
Make sure all your units push together and fight strategically ;) trust me - you'll get there - i generally win playing either side

It's well-made, just impossible for Eagles to win, the castle entrances are deathtraps and simply cannot be taken.

Hahaha - I've stopped for the time - will no doubt continue next week. They only take me a couple days each

damn youre pumping out these maps real fast

And thanks everyone :D The mods aren't compulsory, but highly recommended

It is

Wow, cranking them out. You are a god of ravenfield map making.

Good map
