Feel free to move, edit, or delete the thered if it is not what you
are looking for, or is in the wrong place.<<

This is my idea and I would be willing to head it up and even get the blocks needed to build the maps.

There will be, if not all ready, a need and want for need BG maps.
I am willing and would like to make some of these new BG maps.

The maps would be about 70-120 Blocks by 70-120 Blocks, in size so maps need to be bigger others smaller.

#1-The BG map right now is a good one, and I think we should keep it as it is.

#2-I think we should have a map with 2 small castles on it, and some woods, maybe a river and some bridges. other things I have in mind to but would take to long to list it all.

#3-A maze/labyrinth map. This would be more for just killing and not so much CTF, or bass capturing. but it would be a cool map because, even if you can see their name (the other team) you might not be able to get to them because of the walls of the maze. This would be a not mining or destroying of blocks map, only killing would be allowed here.

#4-The Town, a town with buildings and all, parks, streets, and other cool things. This is a not destroying of blocks map and is PvP/CTF/Base capture.

I could add so much more and have a lot more ideas, I would love to start building the maps as soon at i get a OK from Kainzo/Admin. I would also love help building the maps and getting the blocks needed. I would be ok with an Admin giving me the blocks to build with but it is not needed. Just let me know where to build and i will start.

Yeah we definitely want to have more BG maps - we're testing this out to make sure it wont lag

Please let me know when you are done testing and ready to build maps, I definitely want to be apart of this.

Looks something like that
There is a newer version but old school would work better in MC.
A bridge and under that is water but there is a underwater tunnel for two ways.
This map is usually Capture the Flag and it works well.

When hero's comes out like cleric's heal and crafters jump I am sure this map will be really fun.
and on that second platform snipers usually are there to headshot people, (crafters would jump up and kill them if they can)

Just like the FFA Map, I have absolutely no Powers there. :)

I can't even enter Staff chat while there. Fair game. ;)

We do need some new maps cause the test one does have some issues like the whole red base floating on water so u cant really dig under it. Kinda unfair for us blues. :(

This thread has some good arenas. Not really designed for building or breaking, but we could do that anyways. Hopefully they would be easy to set up.

Having a dozen different BG maps is cool but ultimately useless if there's only one to two people playing on each. Gonna need to keep this in mind when designing them - Unless the system will be only one or 2 BG's whose maps get changed every now and then. After all Battlegrounds are only fun when there's actually another team to battle.

EDIT: Also forgot to mention: HELLS YEAH! BG'S!!! I approve and hope they will stay a part of Herocraft.

I agree with rue. Ive been playing as red, and there is a mine right next to red spawn. I walked down with the given iron pick, and i got lucky and found some diamond. I obvi used it for a diamond sword (sorry, it was tempting, and there arent rules as of yet).

Tombstone needs to be removed completely from BG, because even without a lwc, the items are still there, and you can practically dupe extra arrows to spam and extra swords.

I think a stone pick will do it, but not allow for certain items to be mined (ex iron, diamond, gold). Definitely make the maps larger (which i read you were planning on doing) and i recommen giving partial armor or partially broken armor and food. (this way fights are more lengthy and intense) when battles get intense and actually require more than just charging at the enemy full speed, it will require some strategy.

I know its test, but tbh its just a cluster fuck whenever i play. Deaths are glitchy for me as well, like sometimes i dont get hit, but respawn anyways (could be client side).

Maybe when BG are ready to go we could have small forts dotted around the map that cant be moded or anything but a place to hold defend. Or maybe have a reward system for holding the fort for a period of time.

this is one of the ideas i had, but the "reward system for holding the fort for a period of time" is a good one to add.
