Here we can post a collection of our map ideas for future reference for current & future applicants, newly promoted devs, or devs who are looking for that special idea.
This way we can collectively come up with some great ideas for the right moment. We can excite applicants with great ideas, and then have them continue to do more work with convenient inspiration right here!
Whether its fighting atop of a clock tower (Bruce's idea), conquering the alleyways of jaffa (cap & uber's idea), or sprinting away with golden chests in the halls of Asgard (Peepee's idea). We need our applicants and mappers to be more creative than ever.
Ideally, post ideas that are possible with the current code. Note somewhere near the top of your post that it's feasible or requires code work.
I will compile a list in this OP for quick access to all concepts.
Let's have it so every post in this thread is a new map, a new layout, etc. Discuss ideas on steam then record the best ideas in a cohesive post.

Note: The map size for "Sandwich" is supposed to read "Medium"
Theme: Viking-centric
Location: Asgard, a grand castle in the sky. Floating islands, boats, along side clouds and rainbows. Could be bright like Marvel's vision or dark and snowy ala Skyrim.
Possible titles: bt_asgard, bt_valhalla
Features/ Special Gimmicks: Viking's start with all chests. 8 chests? Golden chests? Something different than chests?

Will Turner: You didn't beat me. You ignored the rules of engagement. In a fair fight, I'd kill you.
Jack Sparrow: That's not much incentive for me to fight fair, then, is it?
Crazytalk also had a cool idea for a map that takes place on the moon. It could have craters and various easter eggs around it. All the characters would have funny space helmets on and it would be slightly low grav.
Why am I reminded of the Wizard of Oz? That'd be a hilarious area to have PVK2 in XD

Here's what came to my mind.
Pirates spawn from the beach, Knight's from the catacombs under the church (maybe a secret freemason meeting chamber) and Vikings come rushing in from the jungle. There would be 3 territories in line except the middle one in the church a little above the other.
All in all theme would be similar to tortuga except there would be beach, church, catacombs and also access to jungle.

Edit: The whole "floating" thing was mainly for practical purposes, making it easy to just throw it into a skybox so I wouldn't have to bother with making the surrounding hills and views etc. Might be a better idea to make it more realistic.
