Official KAG mapcycle

Hey
We're thinking of refreshing the official mapcycle (approved by @Furai)
Here is an album of all the "approved" maps. Please look at it when voting in the poll. If you made a nice map yourself or have seen one, feel free to post it like I did below, and if it gets approved it might be in the next patch (please vote on at least 7-8 - don't be too strict).

As for TTH and TDM, TTH has only a few maps and TDM rounds are very short, so I prioritized CTF in the poll. But feel free to post new maps that are currently not in the game! (tip: use mechanisms )

Here's a map I made which might be nice:


Main purposes of this thread: get a list of wanted/interesting maps currently in the game/approved and gather some new maps

 

Just made this one

Idea is to have two separate flags to attack/defend against at the same time, (1 top, 1 bottom) without a easy way to cross. Hopefully this it will encourage different strategies and promote teamwork

 

Hey,
This is a great idea to refresh the maps!
I have spent a lot of time making this map for CTF and testing it

I call it the Dragon's Lair
Let me know if there's anything else I need to do or how I can improve it

PS. There's 7 Dragons/Serpents

EDIT: I've made some changes and posted the newer version below.

 

Here's another one I quickly whipped up. (Couldn't add it by editing my other one)

Should be a good map for quick games with catas, ballistas and tramps.

 

That's a lot of dirt try adding more stone underground like in EjMap:

 

Heya. I made this map a while ago. It looks really good. It is a little whacky, but is not a stalemater despite flag position. When I have hosted it, players on the whole like and have fun on it. Very enjoyable for archers......

I appreciate that default maps should be fairly standard - this map is slightly different, but I believe could be a noteworthy addition that mixes stuff up appropriately every now and again. Whilst also giving an "official" feel, as the blocks are used correctly.

The eye-candy of this is very nice and professional looking up-close. Take a look in-game.

 

I fucking love this fucking map.

 

Fellere 4 rivers or riot @sangfroid

Looks awesome dude , keep it up :)

 

When I asked for some map changes I did not mean thread with a poll. Could not you people just pick up a few maps from the resources or just add some old official maps to the map cycle? Anyway as I said before, any map changes will be good. Playing on the same maps everyday is boring af. I hope this poll will end quickly :P

Damn, there are only 4-5 good maps (I love to play on) from those we currently have on the servers.. We need definitely more!
I like Daskew's map. You can check those from my resource pack btw:
https://forum.thd.vg/resources/flat-pack-simple-flat-ctf-maps.350/ Dryland, Simple or Gaps could be good.

 

Added some more stone and things underground as @Mazey suggested. Allows for tunnelling now.

 

Yea but some thought doing it both publicly and internally would be good. Plus, KAG doesn't get updates that often so we have time, new mapcycle should be added in the next update, don't worry.

Look better

 

So upon further testing (and just because I felt like it), I've increased the height, you are now able to walk through the dragons heads allowing easier building and I've added other small changes.


Here's what the map looks like In Kag:

Spoiler: In Game

I think it would play fairly standard however it has some cool dragons and some other unique features.

 

Closed the poll. If you have new maps for CTF feel free to post them but........

.. nobody posted anything related to tdm or tth if you don't want @Furai to ban you post some please my dear buddies and haters

 

Get @kodysch to make some TDMs. When I was judging the map contest over a year ago I found his TDMs to be of incredible quality.

 

I have some crazy maps I made.
Alien Planet: A basic hilly map but it's shaped like the face of an alien or something. Has a buttom area that is great for a tunnel shop.
Useful for:


Anthole: The twist on this is there's a tunneling area up top because people are so used to tunneling underground Also there's a abandoned building at mid for a tunnel or knight shop that is protected with bedrock.
Useful for:


Broken Mountain: It's a mountain, That is broken.
Useful for:

 

With TTH in my opinion some of the maps are quite boring. The ones that are just basically a flat long surface with 4 halls on them. In TTH you have a great chance to have guerilla warfare and have multiple simultaneous battles going on - very cool and makes it DIFFERENT from CTF. Not possible though on some of these TTH default flat maps - when they are loaded I often leave the server because I know that all too often it's just a back and forth, 1-dimensional tug of war that I don't personally enjoy and you can get that from CTF anyway. [Also with the quick respawning in TTH a 1 platform tug of war can last about 1000 years before it's finally finished.]

(below is a map that turns me off a little for TTH - flat, and makes a dull back and forth game for this gamemode)
Davies Plains


But when for example this one is loaded I know I'm in for a compelling game that offers something different to other game modes:

(below is good example of TTH map, with plural attack paths)
Juggernaut


From the map-making contest I ran in 2014, this was a really cool TTH map that I noticed:

War On Water - by @ffsff

From what I remember the eye-candy is really good when you look at it in-game. The halls are placed around a multiplatform map. Games were fun in this custom map. I would recommend this turn into a swanky new TTH default. Check it though because from memory I think one or two of the halls don't spawn - although this might have been another TTH that I was thinking of from the competition.

TAKE A RISK ON THIS MAP

Most people found the flooded water concept refreshing and interesting. Do note that the water doesn't flood everywhere because the bedrock holds each water patch in it's respective place and it is neat.
