A remotely Roman-esque circular arena, best suited to smaller games (8 or less players)

First map, feedback welcome.

I couldn't get the bloody fireworks to work just right, so I got lazy and ripped them off Cube and just tweaked them a bit.

This is my first released map for any game! Woo hoo!

anyway...I'm excited. Tell me what you think.

Crap - just realized colors on map are backward...

yeah, the map is awful. I'm gonna fix that for sure. Winter break just started, so I get to play with all the map ideas in my head.

I'll only fix the map if the gameplay is good though. I can't host a server, so I have to play with the bots - which is almost like playing alone really...

I'll stop babbling now.

First, I would like to see some screenshots... that is a "must" if u want ppl to download your map...

Since the map is not a final release (I hope) it's no problem if it has bugs... just fix those nasty problems, adds some screens, and make a new download.

The Roman Style sounds cool, althought the Colosseum theme went through me severl times, and there were roundish maps already, I really wanna take a look, but first I would like some screens.

For some reason pcgamemods isn't taking my pictures, and they're too large (each) to put on my 50megs site...

I'll attach a pic to this so you can get a general idea - maybe reply one or two times more.

God, I'm such a

I checked out the map, those goals are WAY too big. If you aren't sure how big to make them, grab the standard DB goals, then shrink the goal volumes until they match the size of the normal goals. Once you have done this, scale down YOUR goals so they match the volume. Voila, instant goal fix.

ok, can do

I thought the level geometry would block the ball from going in anywhere but the goal though. I know what I did is sloppy, but...

I'm sure you noticed the hideous radar, it's being fixed. Really.

Any thoughts on gameplay issues?
