I'm sorry but Armagonna have to agree with absurdistof.

If you're looking for an easier name, the best way to start is in the same Wikipedia article:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amargosa_Valley,_Nevada

Look at that!

pl_yucca
pl_goldfield
pl_creosote
pl_joshua
pl_ash_meadows
pl_mojave
pl_silverfield
pl_leadfield
pl_trail
and, of course, pl_manly (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_L._Manly)

I also like how you can find Furnace Creek, Gold Rush, Borax, and others in there

I feel inclined to post this...

 

[Eyce]

I think its a fine name when midget pronounces it

Fixed. :blushing:

 

[Boylee]

Gonna put this in Blueprint this Friday. Should I list it as pl_armagosa or pl_kickass?

Depending on if we get a6 out, a5 is named under kickass, a6 will be named under amargosa. I'm hoping to get a6 out today or tomorrow though

I think it's still a little tough to defend the third stage. Not sure why, it just seems like there's no viable defense.

And it looks more like an Alpha6a than a new alpha.

 

[Fraz]

ehhh, a number is a number. In the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter much

 

[Fraz]

bump for the impromptu. I felt the area in s1 around the point might be a *tad* hard. so I have 2 options to propose to you. They are as follow:

Making this door 1 way

Forcing red to use this route

OR

Add a sideroute, with the door marked in pink one way, to give blue a little rest area before pushing out if they want

 

[The Political Gamer]

Side path gets my vote. A one way door in the middle of the battle field could get a bit confusing.

 

[Hanz]

People will still much more use the shorter route I think instead of that new long one. You could put a 1 way door, that might make it a little easier for blu to push through. In goldrush stage 1 there is also only 1 route for RED going to the first area.

Personaly I felt that 1-2 was a little hard when I had my sentry up on that upper area (I guess you know where I did put my sentry, otherwise I'll show it on a screenshot).

Also capping 2-1 was a not too easy and not too hard but after we pushed the cart between 2-1 and 2-2 we couldn't reach the cart anymore because RED was pushing us back and we were all fighting around the 2-1, even though that was already capped. So make it a little easier for BLU to hold the 2-1 area and the area before 2-2 maybe. Use 1 way areas or more health for BLU or something.

Too bad we couldn't reach stage 3, but I liked the 2 first stages a lot!

 

[Fraz]

I've went with the side route, for the sole reason that it's probably better in the longrun. It may be longer, but generally with the 2.5 rule (which I'm trying to stick to) is 2 mainish routes (through the building & following the path) and one flanking side route, which will be the one I'm adding. The 1 way door will always be an option though.

My thought when I see these two pics

"Whoop this door looks like it will come out right after the point! Sweet. Do do do do AAAAAA HOLY SHIT OW OW OW MY LEG MY LEG IS BROKE. I DID NOT EXPECT THAT DOOR TO NOT EXIT ONTO ANYTHING!"

Add an awning you exit out onto or something.

Holy ugly track shadows batman.

Or just a prop or two below / beside door would let you know you're looking down into a little drop.

Why did TPG post pictures of Midget's map?
I'm confused :X

Also good idea going with the side route, should help relieve the stress on that area of the map
