KotH Canopy rc2

[phi]

Canopy is a King Of The Hill map set deep in a tropical rainforest, where two opposing forces battle to control the lush environment (and resources within).

This map is designed for centralised, focused fights around mid whilst offering multiple options for both flank- and choke-oriented playstyles. A winding flank route reaches to the side of the point, and a loose open-choke approaches from the main corners. An auxillary route is positioned at a height advantage, poised to be both a position for defenders and offensive plays pushing into the point.

This map has asymmetric detailing. What this means is the gamemode (King Of The Hill) is symmetric in nature, but the layout is detailed in such a way that even though either side is identical in layout, it differs greatly in environment.

the wires on the light bulbs looks pretty ridiculous but i kind of like it

 

[bob+M|M+]

I like the spawn and the approaches to mid. as for mid... I always had the feeling someone would drop on my head or attack me where I wasn't looking / surprise battle which I kinda didn't like. will need to play some more.

I fully well know Ravage has been making brazil for like forever now but jungle is such a cool theme and I'm probably gunna use it for this map just because

this means a2 is in the works. any other suggestions for a neat pretty theme would be swell but I'm most likely going to go with jungle for this one

Yeah I hate how people keep portraying brazil as being full of buildings and industry when it's a jungle. What about all the monkeys going around telephone cables?

Not gonna go butthurt this time.
NOT THIS TIME.

Also, you guys are trying to piss me off, aren't you?

 

[phi]

what if I were to say that this map isn't in brazil
what would happen then

 

[GPuzzle]

It would be in... I dunno. A place with a rainforest, perhaps. Central Africa or Central America?

 

[RaVaGe]

This is not possible, the only jungle is located in Brazil.

I am from Central Africa, and unlike the Simpons showed up, we do not have monkeys going around our telephonic cables. In fact, the place that you are making is looking a lot like the Congo, which is near the Atlantic Coast. There is a bunch of cities, one called Nairobi, which works with heavy petrol and quimic industry, and the industrial zone of Alindao (a bunch of cities that includes one city with over 10 million people, two airports, a large train connection and USP, the 73º best university in the whole world), which industrial zone was built around the 60's. And the Toto song "Africa" is incredibly bad for such reference on Africa. Also we have a load of telephonic cables in streets, and it's like a spider's web. If you want, I might take a photo for reference.

I recognized my mistakes long ago.
You do not need to shove up my mistakes up my face all over again.



Screw this, I'm tired.
I am not gonna worry anymore about anything you guys say and keep joking over and over again, I am gonna get used to it somehow.
Somehow.

okay, so
i'll probably be releasing a3 (b½) in the next few weeks. i've been detailing like mad and next version will probably be one of the last until beta.

i'm looking for name suggestions too, as "torque" really isn't that good of a name for a jungle/rainforest themed map. there hasn't been a map called "amazon" yet, although that certainly sounds pretty close to ravage's "brazil". any suggestions different or unique that make sense with the jungle theme are appreciated.

Lots of tf2's assets are grain related, right? (grain silo, elevators, other random shit) Its set in brazil, so combine the two.

Brazil's tropical climate is not very suitable for growing wheat, so two of Brazil's coldest states, Paraná and Rio Grande do Sul, account for over 90% of wheat production
