Update #5: Mount Gundabad Fortress Map

Good evening everyone,

 

I hope your Christmas has been tolerable. For those who want to know, mine was boring. Anyway...

Today I present to you a new map to be included in the coming 0.620 update of Shadow and Flame: Mountain Gundabad Fortress.

It's a SaF-exclusive three player fortress map made by the venerable Dúnedain Ranger76 (or Kyle, for short).

The top player must be Gundabad, while the bottom two players can play as whichever faction they want to team up on Gundabad.

 

A top-down view of the map.

 

 

A sideways view showing Mount Gundabad's Front Gate.

Wise use of Gundabad's units will make it very difficult for your opponents to conquer your fortress.

 

The Wolves of Gundabad close the distance.

 

And that's all for tonight. Stay tuned for more updates in the near future.

Honestly I think that map is a bit bland, maybe it's the single colour palette shared by both the map and the structures which also seems to make the units blend in too much as well.

It's not very Dwarven or Gobliny looking, to me it looks like one of the lesser fortresses in Mordor.

Gundabad was the sacred city of the Dwarves so it should be bigger than Erebor in scale and epicness.

The angular quality of the Front Gate looks plenty Dwarven to me. It was an important Dwarven city, but it has long since been overrun by Orcs.

How do you know it doesn't look Dwarven Rad? Weta's interpretation as a reference? SaF used very few Weta references. (only ones I can think of for Gundabad is the basic design of the wargs, the goblins, and Azog.)
