Solace
by Unoverrated and Hikaru X

Asymmetrical maps are uncomfortable to forge because in order to balance something you immediately think just mirror it to the other side. So designing an asymm that is balanced takes a lot of thought and good forging. I met Hikaru X about a month ago when he posted a picture in the WAYWO thread. When I met him he was a wreck and had no knowledge of how to forge correctly. I tried to help him out but that map just wasn't working. So I asked him if he had anything else he wanted to forge. He showed me a really sloppy 'rough draft' of what is now Solace. So we started from scratch and built the beast brick by brick.

Although I laid about 95% of the pieces on the map, Hikaru had the bleuprints in his head the whole time. He has learned a lot about screen-lag, object density, and many other important characteristics of forging. By the end of the forge he had placed some pieces that I didn't actually delete :]

The map is themed around a dungeon-like feel. You will notice small aesthetics around the map that really put the icing on the cake. Hope you enjoy it.
