The Citadel [Quenched]

[Ditocoaf]

I did exactly that twice, with the previous 2 iterations of trees. People didn't like the results. The present one I will be slightly modifying to force the top-down perspective. I'm not exactly interested in copying grayhawke's trees, as they have far too much clarity for the true-scale trees seen from a few hundred feet in the air (perspective of campus).

but the crosswalks, for instance, are perfectly clear and sharp.

[TaCktiX]

Because they are required for the map's gameplay. With exception to crosswalks in the corners (Capers/Museum, Jenkins/Canteen, McAlister/LeTellier, Duckett/Battery), none of them exist.

I think top-down looks better -

I think that could work, what say you tack?

This looks promising. I see the need for top-down view.

[TaCktiX]

I'm presently working on a tree solution, but general demotivation about having to redo the trees from scratch is making it a procrastination-fest. Version 20 should be out by the end of the weekend regardless.

Version 20

Updates:
- Redid the trees again (and if you complain about these, you need to be taken out behind the shed and shot)
- Centered Bond and Mark Clark Halls
- 1Pxed the attack routes on the Large
- Fixed the attack route examples on the Large

Small version (600x461)

Large version (700x538)

Point of Discussion:
Is this Forge-worthy? If not, why?

[ZeakCytho]

This seems ready for the final forge to me

Lovely job on the trees! I especially like the ones by F-troop and Jenkins Hall.

I think it's forge-worthy.

I'm not sure I like the legend grey next to the pathway grey... is there any need for them to be a different colour?

Side effect of me adding the minimap in there. The asphalt down there is a duplicate of the shade around the rest of the map, whilst the other gray is a 50% saturated with black white (dark gray, i.e.). Crafting a fix to that shouldn't be that hard, and can be done in the Forge with ease.

Nice update overall! Love the new trees. I would like to see the legend background match the parking lot/sidewalk surface as well. Also, can the box behind RJ's name be the darker gray road color?

Final Forge

---The Citadel Map has reached the ‘Final Forge’ Stage. I've revived this thread from the pits of the Foundry Furnace (okay, maybe not) and have examined the contents. Nearly every major concern has been addressed. If there are any other current concerns, please make your voice heard. If after a reasonable amount of time there has not been any objection or protest, the map will be deemed finished with the 'Foundry Brand' of approval and will be submitted for live play. As long as there is still discussion or posts that have yet to be commented on, the map will remain in Final Forge until said discussion has reached the conclusion that the map has reached its final and polished version.

Post questions and concerns if any.
