Map Name

Turnstile

Gamemode & Map Description

This is a KotH map designed for a match size of around 18v18. Lots of attention went into offering different playstyles and details to make the match more interesting. For example, there are numerous places designed for a bow-oriented player to provide their team aid and various objects which melee-oriented players can use for cover.

Additional care was also put into making sure there are interesting places to hide, run around, and pop out from behind of. An example of this is the catwalks.

In addition, fun custom items can be found practically everywhere (even the crashed airplanes engines.)

My main comment about the map so far is that It has a lot of grey at the moment. This isn't necessarily a bad thing but could definitely do with more visual variety either by adding more colours, more distinct block textures or using depth in the wall textures, or a combination of all 3.

Another small issue I've noticed is that it's a bit hard to tell where the hills are. If they stood out in some way or had a visible indicator that may help resolve the issue.

Apart from that the map's layout looks solid (I can't really tell too much from the images), and some of the building techniques used are quite nice (the iron trapdoor walls).

Hey there – this is just a tiny nitpick – but please consider merging the regions defined in <control-point> tags together to improve map maintainability, i. e.

<control-points capture-rule="lead" show-progress="true">
    <control-point name="Tarmac" capture-time="5s">
        <capture> <!-- Where players must stand so this control point can be captured -->
            <cuboid min="-6,1,86" max="-11,5,81" />
        </capture>
        <progress> <!-- The area where colored blocks will fade into the controlling team's color -->
            <cuboid min="-6,1,86" max="-11,5,81" />
        </progress>
        <captured> <!-- The area where colored blocks will change to match the controlling team's color -->
            <cuboid min="-6,1,86" max="-11,5,81" />
        </captured>
    </control-point>
    <!-- ... rest of control point definitions -->
</control-points>

to

<regions>
    <cuboid id="tarmac" min="-6,1,86" max="-11,5,81" />
    <!-- ... rest of control point regions -->
</regions>
<control-points capture-rule="lead" show-progress="true">
    <control-point name="Tarmac" capture-time="5s" capture="tarmac" progress="tarmac" captured="tarmac" />
    <!-- ... rest of control point definitions -->
</control-points>

Thanks!

I really appreciate the feedback! Per @technodono's advice, I've added a small patch of textured green outside the hangar that helps in breaking up the monotony. I've also added large arrows on the interior walls above the control points. The map layout is difficult to capture in a single photo as part of it is indoors and stacked atop spawn. Regarding the XML, I've implemented the changes mentioned by @TTtie for control points, spawn areas, and portals. I've also rearranged a few elements to be placed near related settings. Attached is the updated version. Thank you both!! Turnstile.zip
