If those songs were complete, I would totally use Hydrocity.

Look in the description of the videos >_>

...ah.

Well that's one mystery solved, gang! Time for map touchups then to DTD so it can be smelted in hell and released in a random shop in Hull.

Since DTD posted his map from Doom Builder, Here's mine


It's not done yet, I still have to add objects and fill in certain spaces...

4294 lines btw...

From the air, that map looks excellent.  Makes me want to make a 4 way CTF map, but I'm trying to think of one that wouldn't be just a plus sign.

[Max]

Try it.

You could do a square, but yeah, CTF maps with 8 lines of symmetry... I've always wanted to try a non-symmetrical CTF map, but I doubt it would work.

Well, I did think of a Yashichi map but I doubt it would actually be fun.  Maybe I'd do a map with a path around the outside of the +.

If I could inject some other possible ideas that may be interesting.

Right now all I see are maps with 4 teams all after each others necks. Could try some concepts where you have two different portions of a map. Light vs Wily in it's own map part and Cossack and Mr X on the other. The two 2 sets are completely unable to interact with each other. This makes it more like having two separate CTF matches going on at the same time and it's a race to see who wins first.

[Mr. X]

But what I think makes 4 flag CTF sound so appealing is the idea of cutthroat competition between all four teams at once.  Plus, you'd have the problem of one team being bad and the good team playing them racing ahead of the two good teams playing each other.  In a 4 way map with a similar situation, the three good teams would all have to face each other (likely all racing for the same bad team's flag) and the match wouldn't be left up to the luck of which team you "draw".

Seems like a good idea, however I doubt people would like this idea. Might give it a try though.

I actually had a rather interesting non-standard version of a 4-Flag CTF map. I call it the War Wheel.

Basically, think of a large circle, which is split up into four parts, one base in each part. The bases all have a couple of rooms, but the catch is, players can only go from their base to one other specific base. They cannot turn back. From that base they can move on to the next, then the next, then finally they've gone a full lap around the wheel and have returned to their base. So basically, to score in that map, players will have to fight through all three enemy bases, somewhere grabbing a flag along the way for scoring. (I'll probably design it so that just passing through a base is easier than getting the flag from a base.)

It will be glorious.

[Mr. X]

That sounds like an idea that would either be horrendously bad or absolutely amazing.  I can't tell which until it actually comes out.

Mine has 4906 without use of bridges so mines obviously better.

Every knows, the more lines, better map [/sarcasm]

[Hallan Parva]

That War Wheel idea sounds amazing.

Also, Skyscraper from Mario Kart 64. I mean, it already had four colored tunnels that connect the inside with the outer ring, so...

That sounds delicious.
