Re: Can I make an Invasion map?
I like the decor very much - the pink gives a strange warmth in contrast to the cold metal and black colours. Good job!
“We humans do not understand compassion. In each moment of our lives, we betray it. Aye, we know of its worth, yet in knowing we then attach to it a value, we guard the giving of it, believing it must be earned. Compassion is priceless in the truest sense of the word. It must be given freely. In abundance.”

Re: Can I make an Invasion map?
I spent last week adding a couple of new rooms to Ironic. Wanted to make something peaceful.

Not sure how it will be played but I think it might be suitable for low player counts on invasion (1-3 players).

Looks good, the corridors were nicely done. I think they'll get slaughtered, though.

Re: Can I make an Invasion map?
It needs some testing I think. I left a few hiding places under the big room. Didn't want to make it a camping heaven, but players have a chance to survive against the most annoying waves imo.
If they wont survive there's always an option to remove pathnodes from the lower rooms and the corridor, place some megaadren and turn it into another dm-adrenmart. I'm actually not against it because as long as adrenmart style maps exist people will vote for them in a first place anyway and at least this map doesn't look like a concrete hole with black sky.

Mega adrenaline spawn with no threat from monsters, sounds riveting.

Not really, there's always a threat as the numbers overwhelm + you have to kill all of them before the next round starts, and some rounds are still so borked that if you go out of cover during them, you die.
You want less adren, more threat, do something about the strategy, because run n gun isn't an option, now its cower and hide whilst vast numbers of seekers and the like kill you if you poke a nose out.. fun fun fun.

The entire gametype needs redesigning and making it good would just kill the server population.

Re: Can I make an Invasion map?
As we already discussed it in skype, balancing this gametype might be impossible since players of all levels are fighting the same monsters. If you want it to be interesting for high levels you need hiding places for low levels. Or alternatively you need to provide high level players an effective way of protecting low level players, but this will also mean that winning a game with low levels only will be impossible.
Anyway, nobody seems to be interested in this gametype enough to make changes.

It's actually quite enjoyable as it is sometimes. Surviving against seekers yesterday was fun, though we didn't win any game.
