Anyone remember in the earliest version of Citadel, you could take the flag THROUGH the wall?

    This was the one with the really long spiral staircase to the top and with heavies camping at the top. Best part, since the old flag was an item and right next to a corner, soldiers could climb from the outside, take the flag and cap, without entering the flag room.

    This is the point where I would post some pics, but unfortunately the old citadel map is set as private and I can't take any photos.

    Yep, I remember it. The flagroom was 3x2x3, and the only way out was a small staircase which was very awkward to traverse. If there was a dwarf, there was absolutely no way anyone could cap.

    Especially if there was also a medic up there. Imagine now, with classes like elf and mage just holding down the small entryway rather easy

    @super_mii2 - Lucky for you, I've got just the photos.

    Flag room. Not pictured: Stairway of death, destruction, and most importantly, despair.

    Let this be known as the first time ever that I defend mage: in such a cramped space, I actually think it's rather possible to kill a mage, since the damage cooldown tends to be too great when you get close enough. As usual, I'll also defend elf: nah, 3 shots at that range w/out dying is 2hard.

    I like more vertically oriented maps, like the old unholy faith. I wish more people made maps like dat

    Issue with vertically oriented maps is there is no reliable fast ways of travelling upwards. Ladders are slow and boring, sponges are good but screw up when its laggy, and the only class which can consistently travel up is soldier (yes, ninja can too, but throwing a pearl up isn't very fast). Maps need to have some vertical movement though (maps such as Metro, in my opinion, failed because there was no travelling upwards or downwards, causing the whole map to be a chokepoint).
