Set inside a castle with a distant thunderstorm looming, this map is as appealing to the eye as it is magnificent to play. Think of your favourite superlative. I am lost for words, add that to this sentence - This map is . - and you have an idea how good Stormatorium is. With well chosen, well applied textures from MrClean, combined with fantastic brush work, sky from cart2k, and models from qkennyq the map looks fantastic. Built for the Quake 3 World Collaborative Mapping Competition held by Terminal this map oozes class out every pore (yes, maps have pores). Excellent brush work, texturing, lighting, game play, bot play, item placement, atmosphere, and green hue. Need I say more. This is a must have.

Okay then, stop work, down tools, Download.

ok, i agree that technically it's a very well-produced map... and maybe the game flow is superb, maybe not- i'm probably not an expert-enough player to say...

BUT i'm afraid i don't see much innovation here... aren't everyone's hard drives already packed with tons of base, space and gothic maps? sure, it's clearly an excellent job at what it attempts, but it's basically just more of the same... if the really crucial thing about this map is the gameplay, then why not make it more thematically novel? for examples, see ente's pad-series, bubba's 'highjump' and others, ?'s QuaTRON, etc, etc... things that are innovative, well-produced and still have gameplay...

sorry to be mean, and my real problem is not really with the designers, but with daniel for giving such a pandering review...

I just stand by a window and look up at the flashing sky. Sure I get fragged a lot but it's worth it...

SOrry, i dont think there will be a tourney version (unless crem has the time for it) but this map WILL be included in ra3mapproject 2 as a clan arena. More info here:

Hi guys. I haven't had a chance to do anything other than give the map a visual run-through, but I wanted to sya it looks good, I'm glad to see that texture set getting put to good use. =o)

Thanks for the comments, all. Originally, this project started as me and crem sort of tossing a map together room by room, but after a bit of cutting and chopping (editing?), the map turned out to have a great game flow, and a pretty solid design, imo. And yes, we did try to make it balanced for TDM as well as ffa.

Thx a lot!

Yep, team dm is what we went for after we had a layout. We kinda just started the whole map without a real idea in mind...box by box...

I think it's a better tdm map than dm. Looks above average IMHO, not stunning but I love it in TDM. Nice job guys.
