Isis

Isis is a competitive arena style map designed for 1v1 and 2v2 battles. It was completed several months ago but I’ve only just decided to publicize it. It’s named after the Egyptian goddess of the same name and its description is a reference to my favorite Age of Mythology unit from the Egyptian race.

The temple is symmetrical and every object is perfectly aligned despite the common bug that slightly displaces most rotated objects. Features also flow into each other seamlessly. As a perfectionist, this is something I’m very proud of.

Isis has been streamlined through several playtests and considerable effort went into creating its aesthetics. My goal with this map was to create a perfect and simple arena that revolved around a unique gameplay feature, as well as to create an atmosphere that broke out of the mundane grey and green Forge World trend. Towards that end, this map was created on Tempest and borrows heavily from Egyptian architecture. Most objects are of lighter shades to help the map stand out. The primary feature is a large sphinx altar complete with a sacrificial laser that runs the width of the arena. When crossing the laser, players’ shields will occasionally be depleted. The temple is also located high in the sky, so its balcony has a lovely view.

Isis has proven most useful to me as a practice room of sorts, but it’s compatible with almost every gametype. I encourage you to give it a look and let me know what you think. And I hope you like it!
