Elixir XIV - Azurite Mine teaser

Post by Mobster » Tue Mar 25, 2014 2:38 am

I am working on a new map, and some of you may know I like to create some stories/background to the maps I make.

It's a bit of an alternate Unreal Tournament universe with influences with other works of Sci Fi, and even real life.
Hope you enjoy... :cheers:

MARINES!
The Liandri Mining Corporation has given us a contract job.
A recent mining expedition was sent in to a newly discovered planet by Liandri Mining Corporation. Elixir XIV is a planet with a very sought after resource called Azurite. The mineral vein for the resource on this planet has the potential to be the largest found to date of this rich blue resource. Recent breakthroughs in technology have made this resource wanted by nearly all refineries on planets all over our galaxy making this an essential mission.

The tasks of that expedition were initially to construct and complete a fully functional outpost, and the entry corridors for the mines. When that was completed the mining corporation was to send in a new workforce to take over the operations and management of the mine. The first expedition team was nearly complete with the tasks that were placed before them, until disaster struck. A group of miners two days ago were drilling thru the tough rock of the planet, eagerly awaiting what would have been completion of the work for that day. One of the miners driving a S.M.V., had began to be careless due to exhaustion. On a return trip driving the resources back to the outpost, he accidentally crashed into a nearby support beam. A cave in began that opened up an undiscovered labyrinth and monsters of unbelievable nightmarish descriptions all began to pour out. Hundreds, and then thousands of monsters! The group of miners had no chance to radio back to the comm center to alert the expedition management team above them. All of this was recorded on a video feed from a surveillance drone watching over the expedition from the Corporation. Due to transportation time of information over deep space, it would of been near impossible for the Corporation to alert the management team on Elixir XIV of the situation before they would be swept up themselves by the horde of monsters. The expedition team as a whole perished in a mere amount of minutes...

We will send in one platoon to exterminate these heinous creatures. They will land at the star port adjacent to the comm station. You will have all weapons and assets at your disposal to clean this mess up.

As always failure is never an option.

Oorah!!! :lmg:

In my opinion this map doesn't even hold a candle to my first map.

Main playing area (the outpost) is already done.

The mine corridors are done now too.

It's pretty much done, just doing last minute things.

It's done...

DM-(Mob)-ElixirXIV-AzuriteMine

20 player starts
1085 path nodes
3 zones (zone portal areas)

10 Manta vehicles for quicker transportation to and from Outpost and the Mine.
1 two way teleporter for even faster transportation to and from Outpost and the Mine.
1 secret room (maybe even a secret inside of a secret? happy searching)

Joey will add it shortly to the server. And maybe even that list of maps that Amy helped me track down from the past.
