de_volcano

[TulioBRr]

Hello, I'm a braizillian mapmaker trying only to make good layouts for people to enjoy.

After a long time without updating this topic i bring here the last version of de_Volcano before the artpass
I just want to say sorry for not posting the updates of each new version of de_volcano. I uploaded every single radar (almost) on the steam workshop page:

*Sorry if your name isn't here and you think it should. I really did my best remembering everyone who helped playteting and giving feedback for de_Volcano.

New Story:
Two mining companies are "clandestinely" mining the base of a dormant volcano in search of precious minerals. However, the wealthier company is doing everything to hinder the work of the other, which is not as rich and only has one processing point for its ores. The affected company decided to hire a group of terrorists to blow up a newly built minecart bridge over its main collection point. However, the terrorists have to be careful to cause as little damage as possible to the company that hired them, so they have to choose one of two support pillars of the bridge (bombsites) that are furthest from the center of the map to blow up.

New Theme:
Theme: Mining Zone at the Base of a Volcano
Details:
*A small lake in the center of the map where the middle (rotation zone) is located.
*A river circling the map.
*A large lake at the foot of the volcano next to bombsite A where the river flows into.
*A large cave connecting CT base to bombsite A.
*Big volcano in the background

I don't think people care about why a map is being bombed. You can totally get away with bombing a volcano for the lulz.

Little resume of the current state of the map

The map is with the layout almost finished, the gameplay flows well and there are very high risk high reward decisions you can make. The only downside that i see from the mapa is that the map is a retake simulator, very easy for the T's to take control of the site and very easy for the Ct's to go for the retake, and mid is a place you go to control only the T's rotation and Ct's flanking.
Otherwise the map is well placed and just need few changes to make playing it more confortabble and easy.

Then when the layout stage is done i will go for the polishing of the map so i can finish it and start another project for the contest (maybe de_Hospital 2024? hehehe). So stay tuned in =D
