[Submission] The First Defence(accepted) + another

[Senni]

Not sure what you mean for the first few sentences  ???. I'll try my best to answer though :

The waves do spawn out front of the castle, and the castle is intended as a fall back position.

I reduced the size of the plain outside (moved the barriers inwards), its still pretty large, but I think its on scale with beach assault . It shouldn't introduce any problems maps already in existance could theoretically create. (e.g. beach assault is large and cav does kite frequently there, but its often to the benefit of the infantry and archers.)

[Sighvatr]

A quick suggestion. The ground coloring inside of the castle is sweet, but it would be pretty cool if you add a little bit of different ground textures to rid the repeat of the village ground texture. Like maybe apply a small transparent Path brush to it?

[Senni]

hmm tempting...very...tempting.

I'll see what  I can do, making some pretty sizable changes to it atm, reducing the outside area further still, removing potential glitch spots and loads of small things .

[Senni]

Update:

• Glitch spots found...and destroyed!
  
• More useful Space!
  
• Less useless Space!
  
• Horses roam free! (except for that fence....oh and those invisble barriers.... and that their static...)
  

screenies incomming!

they can go up the ladders, but yes they can't go up the stairs. I might try to replace the stairs with slopes.

EDIT:Also they do dismount if they get stuck for too long, Ill make a slope version regardless though

You can add a barrier to the stairs instead if you want to keep it.

[Senni]

Thanks guys

Couldn't really , they were the main stairs on the right and left side of the castle on the inside (cav need to be able to get up them), it doesn't look bad now anyway

EDIT: did you mean place a barrier on top of the stairs? to form a slope?

[Sighvatr]

Yep. Never tried it to see if it works, but you can test that theory out for me!

the gatehouse stairs is an ideal grinding place, close it  pls

It does look like a grinding place indeed, but it isn't that narrow of a stairs..
