NordInvasion Forum

I know it hasn't been long since my last map, but it was for practice. This one is much less glitchy and more open, and I was just too excited to make another.

Anyway, here is the story:
Once, before the war, Swadia had a bustling economy. Trade routes from Praven to Suno, Suno to Dhirim etcetera etcetera flourished. When the Nords came knocking, the economy halted and trade routes were left untouched. You hear stories of traveling soldiers getting ambushed while traveling to and from battlefields on these roads, and now it's happening to you! Will you be able to defend the road on all sides? Will you get lost among the trees?
(Cheesy story over)

Here are some Screenshots!(Outdated, look through thread for more up-to-date pictures.)

Nords spawn on both sides of the road, among the trees. Players spawn at the log castle walls

I appreciate any feedback, even if it's telling me to stop making maps. Wink

(NOTE:I may change things as I am never 100% happy with the final product.)

Now this looks fancy

Well thank you Smile

I literally have no experience with map making, but a little idea:

You should add like a broken cart on the side of the road, to show that the roads are unsafe and nords are roaming about

Maybe a little tent camp with a small campfire in the middle with a pig cooking on a spit. This could represent the brigands and bandits camping in the forest and preying on simple travelers

Nice idea.

What i think should be changed:

You need more decoration, like spacey said.
The players spawn is too easy to defend. Also you can just tome all the players in your safe camp during the waves...
And maybe add some traps between those trees, built by the bandits too catch the merchants.

You both have some very good ideas. I will try to add as many as I can, and the player spawn only has a shrine, you have to leave to get health and ammo. It's not very easy to defend. I will make it harder if you would like ;D

I added a bandit encampment, that kills you once you enter the area of the huts. Made the forest more vibrant, and added an extra crashed cart with goods on it.
