KotH Plenty A4b

Plenty - KOTH; My first published map

So, I like TF2. And I like this one kinda old real-time strategy game called Age of Mythology. So I said, why not mix the two?

Thus I present my attempt: Plenty

BLU's buildings are modeled after the Atlantean buildings, while RED's are modeled after the Greek ones

Both teams spawn in their "Town Center" -- each with several Houses surrounding it -- and on each side of the map there are a few Walls, platforms, a Watch Tower, and a few other buildings such as Barracks and Armories

Then at the center of the map is the Plenty Vault, with an upper and a lower level; the latter in which is the control point

Forgot to add the version suffix to the filename ;u;

So, I made notable changes to the map, some from feedback

• Changed the ground into displacements and elevated the ground beneath the Plenty Vault (the control point building) into a small hill; no more flat box
• The structures that were just unenterable func_details are now actual enterable buildings (Along with a couple more) to walk and fight in
• Removed the sniper towers and added some fences in the upper floor of the Vault to prevent players down below getting sniped
• The staircases to the Vault's upper floor are now part of full-fledged platforms w/ cover
• Split each team's spawnroom into two
• More health and ammo packs
• Control point capture trigger brush is now bigger
• Etc.

Hope it's better-

NateTheNatyMapMaker updated Plenty with a new update entry:

The Return! (of the King (of the Hill))

Hey! Been a while

After a good while of having taken a break from working on this map, I was inspired from watching an AoM retrospective video (here it is btw), and decided to wipe (most of) the slate clean and start over

Now featuring:

• The RED and BLU bases are slightly off to the side, so as to circumvent (or at least alleviate) box syndrome
• Elevation not only in the control point building, but also in the teams' bases...

NateTheNatyMapMaker updated Plenty with a new update entry:

A4 - Slate Wiped Clean Again

Alrighty, once again the map left a lot to be desired... So again I started over! (Was fun)

Now featuring:

• Complete layout overhaul; now split into areas, meaning map is less open and is (I hope) rid of box syndrome!
• Gradual elevation from each team's base to the control point (including staircases)
• Size of trigger_capture_area increased (as well as added hazard tape on the floor to make it easier to tell)
• The inside of the Plenty Vault's 2nd floor is now...

For the point itself, I would suggest using either a playerclip (or even a block bullets for smoother rocket radius) to smooth out the stairs, because it can be pretty jarring/awkward to be bumped up and down while in the middle of battle, or even caught mid jump. I didn't draw it, but place some at the edge of where it goes down for the point floor itself. This would be a very nice quality of life change:;;;;;

Hmm. See, thing is, I did add blockbullets brushes. But if the movement is still bumpy it must be due to them being too small

The brushes did span the whole staircase before, but since there was so much space between each step it felt odd

I know how to fix this tho

NateTheNatyMapMaker updated Plenty with a new update entry:

A4b

As per @YOYOYO's suggestion, changed the small blockbullets brushes on each individual step inside the Plenty Vault to a ramp spanning all the steps, given there was still bumpiness when moving up to the control point
