maybe [editline]25th December 2010[/editline] what the fuck am i even looking at

TC is such an underrated game mode and Medieval is a new style AND game mode which haven't been explored much, I would love a Medieval TC map.

Should it be Melee Only or should weapons be allowed?

It could work considering the lack of Sentries that normally stalemate Hydro. I still think you should make a Dustbowl style map or something along those lines.

In that case it might be worth your time running a few rounds of Hydro in medieval mode.

I can't answer that. Whether a map is good or bad doesn't depend on those things. If you're up to something, keep in mind to add three layers when possible. The fewer layers, the greater the possibility of the area to become an overtime-tastic chokepoint. Two layers work well most of the time, but three layers can really mix up things.

TC Medieval do it! Just imagine the struggle between 2 opposite castles. Whenever a team successfully captures an area they are one step closer to attacking the castle.

The castle should be way more open than the one in degrootkeep though.

Would there be a way to set up cannons that fire every time an Engineer (or any class) hits it or fire touches it that fires in a straight arced path?

[QUOTE=Sharc;26962133]Would there be a way to set up cannons that fire every time an Engineer (or any class) hits it or fire touches it that fires in a straight arced path?[/QUOTE] That'd be really gimmicky.

[QUOTE=Daimao;26962873]That'd be really gimmicky.[/QUOTE] I have to agree with Daimao on this. Sounds kinda useless and anti-gameplay.

I can imagine it now: Area 1: A village, complete with a control point in the center of the town, with open buildings and Taverns. Area 2: The Gates of the castle, similar to Degroot_keep Area 3: The inside of the castle itself Also, I would love to see some sort of giant Fire breathing Dragon monster NPC like the Horsemann.

[QUOTE=MrCasual;26963406]Also, I would love to see some sort of giant Fire breathing Dragon monster NPC like the Horsemann.[/QUOTE] I don't like the dragon monster idea that much, but yeah that's also how I imagined it.

I would love a medieval koth or arena map.

for god's sake make a TC map, i really miss it. TC would be great idea for medieval mode, like Castle - field\fort - field\fort - castle scheme

This would be awesome, of course any new TC maps would be. That was my favorite game mode, but there's still no new maps for it.

you know how much a pain in the ass it is to make

A double gamemode with the smallest gamemodes (map wise) would be great. Especailly one that would be a map that feels as large and is as well designed/artistic as Hydro.

I'll host a quick listen server, putting on hydro with medieval mode, would anyone join and try it out? [editline]25th December 2010[/editline] 24.44.29.114 join [editline]25th December 2010[/editline] Well nobody join but like 1 or 2 people so I closed the server :saddowns:

[editline]25th December 2010[/editline] 24.44.29.114 join [editline]25th December 2010[/editline] it should be up now connect 24.44.29.114 do it do it do it[/QUOTE] I'm seeing the server on the list, but I can't connect for whatever reason.

Its a good idea,but executed horribly.. They should have spent more time on the map. I cant join the server now,but I would appreciate you guys telling me whether it works better on hydro or not.

Server appears to work for me now. [editline]25th December 2010[/editline] If this helps at all, when I was able to connect I added the server to my favorites, removed it, readded it, and then it worked for whatever reason.

[QUOTE=xpod1;26964806]you know how much a pain in the ass it is to make[/QUOTE]I can not stress how hard TC is to make. Speaking as a mapper I have seen many TC maps be started then fail. They are extremely hard to get going due to the size of the map. Oh and did I forget its the hardest gamemode to balance bar none? On the other hand this is more or less a gimmick map when to get down to the fact that its using medieval mode, at least from a mapper's view. If this test run on Octo pie's server goes well I think its worth attempting. But I will say this, there is a very good resin why Valve (or really anyone else) has yet to make another TC map.

I just left the server after sitting in it for about 15 minutes with just him and I in the server. We need more population to really test this.
