    I was looking over the storyline in the wiki, and i thought it would be cool if there was a map that focused on the ancient city that Jekotia and Brenodi found and started fighting over. So really an ancient architecture themed map, and anything related to that topic. Idk if this has been discussed before... i dont really read the mapping forum, seeing as i couldn't map my way out of my own room.

    I don't know the technology development in the storyline, so to really nail the feel of the ancient city, you'd have to ask krenzo or don_megel what they think the ruins would look like. I'm guessing iron age stuff.... or industrial revolution type stuff... but i wouldn't know. Maybe roman empire style stuff. Whatever the theme, google could give you more then enough pictures for reference.

    I could suggest a map layout or my vision of such a level, but i dont want to pigeonhole any possible mappers. All i can say is that the majority of the map, the center of the map, would probably be ancient architecture. It's really tough to see elevation from the world map, but it looks flat, so something not as mountainous as slaughtered or cyclopean... more like duststorm but without the dust. If it's a fairly important city in pre-industrial age technology terms, it would probably be built on a hill or some sort of elevation... like badlands, i guess.

    Geographically speaking, the two nearest cities, koltnus and emin, are pretty far away, i think, so the focus would have to only be the ancient city.

    I had thought about this, but there are NO custom NF building-style textures. Someone should make some.

    Edit the NF building model textures to make them usable on brushes, i've done it with BE textures.
