What's up guys. This is my first post to forge hub!! I have been forging for a long time and finally have some time to post some of my many maps up to get some feedback. Hope you like them!

I like playing around with water in many of my maps and The Persian Baths is no exception. It was one of those ideas that just stuck with me and I was anxious to start laying out a concept. I wanted to keep the map as clean and realistic as possible so hopefully it lives up to my expectations.

Basically, the map evolved around a central fountain within a large bath area. All of the "floorspace" is custom tiled and sunken below an upper deck that overlaps the walls of the bath. As you will see the map is asymmetrical (an evolution from much of my early stuff), and is meant to be a semi-natural space, incorporating artificial components within a natural rock cavern.

The main area is lit in a warm orange glow by two torches hanging from the vaulted ceiling, and natural light streams in from between the open-air exterior wall pillars. While the space is quite open there are plenty of areas for cover including sheltered alcoves beneath the decking and alongside the cavern wall.

There are also 4 secret areas to the level that you will have to work a little bit harder to find but will provide definite rewards....

Here is the central fountain and open space looking out to the ocean from the interior cavern wall.

An overview of the fountain and the tile flooring. Yes.... it took a long, long time ;)

Low angle from the sloped entry pool.

The fountain - I had to add in an energy sword!

Stairs leading up to the exterior balcony.

This was one of those rare maps where building an interior based space also produced a decent looking exterior.

A secret snipers hollow providing a bird's eye view of the baths.

The secret waterfall shrine.

There are lots of other hidden spaces I haven't covered, best to download and give it a go ;)

As far as playability goes, this is a Slayer map but I am working on a Headhunter variant as well. It is best played with between 2-8 players. Weapons are strategically placed with more common items in more accessible areas.

DMR x1
Shotgun x1
Concussion Rifle x1
Plasma Repeater x1
Sniper Rifle x1
Fuel Rod Cannon x1
Rocket Launcher x1
Gravity Hammer x1
Energy Sword x 1

Your feedback is quite welcome. Enjoy and look for more posts to come!
