Hi guys

 

I got some feedback on two of the maps:

 

Nr. 27:  Wheatwudd Tower

 

The map didn't really feel like a siege to play.

Both rounds the attacking side was able to open the gate and swarm all over the map in under two minutes.

From that point on if kinda feels as if roles where reversed with you as defender having to fight through dozens of attackers to get to the gate controll you are supposed to defend.

The controlls were lost quite quickly both times which leads to the last part of the map.

 

Let's call this second part "The Garage Sale".

The attackers have some nice lines of fire right into the flag area which leads to the defenders hugging the wall, looked kinda funny...

Also it seems to be possible to close in the attackers in the flag and make it impossible for defenders to reach it.

One possible solution could be to close the backside of the flag wall for defenders not to get shot from the tower when at flag. Also I would suggest to make the upper level near the tower unreachable for cavalry (to slow the attackers down and reduce the cavalry spam).

 

 

 

Nr. 28: Nairut patrol

 

One of the cavalry spawns is in the basement of a tower with no way to get out with your horse (at least I didn't find one).

Thanks for your time and awesome work on the server!

I always hated this spawn point also; respawning here, is like your respawn time is double than the actual respawning delay. A respawned player takes so long to get to any where significant.

The game doesn't allow to set troop specific spawns. So i can't prevent the cavalry spawn there, except removing the spawn completely.

I've seen defenders win on this map, not always but i would say it's 60/40 for attackers. As always it depends on the teams.

 

Also it seems to be possible to close in the attackers in the flag and make it impossible for defenders to reach it.

Technically it is possible but quite difficult to achieve unless attacking team is well organised.  There are other maps that are easier for that "stategy".

 

 

 

To me the one and only map that feels unbalanced is Saxon Winter. For all the nice atmosphere it possess it's an auto win for attackers everytime.

I understand that it is meant to be played with 100+ pple, but so far, the max pop i've seen must have been around 80, and it was brutal.

 

IMHO the distance between Maingate/walls and flag is too short.

Once Gate is broken, all what attackers have to do is rush the few meters to the flag. With the 20 sec respawn, defenders can't contain the flow.

would be a good idea,

honnestly i dont understand why there is one there,

this tower has a blind basis and its bottom is useless

 

i remember before i know this map well, always hated spawn there,

trying to get out by different ways and finally remembered there was none (except going on top ofc)

 

About specific spawns,

on many maps, cavs dont spawn on walls where inf. & archers do, no ?

[KingArthur]

Saxon Winter will be removed on next server restart.

Nairut spawns will be moved.

 

@Pyrrha, i don't know how the game decides to spawn the cavalry. I only know that i can't choose what troop can spawn in an entry point, except forcing it with a script.
