After the introduction of Grimslade and the recent updates to Dale and Moria Great Halls, another of our maps received a grand rework!
The builders have worked hard to bring you this update in record time. The update consists of a radical structural change to Laketown which has brought the map to new heights by reworking the way it is played through, adding more fun features and a new layout to enjoy.
Laketown now has the following:
- A new semi-conquest, more linear layout
- 2 new drawbridges
- 2 new gates
- Tons of new paths
- New spawn locations
- New team lobbies
- And finally, a ton of quality-of-life changes to make movement easier!
To elaborate what we mean by ‘new semi-conquest layout’, the map has been divided into sections where the attacking team is required to take all flags in a section before moving on to the next section! In this way we can ensure that the map does not lose its conquest character that we all know and love, whilst at the same time making sure players do not spend their time running from flag to flag so that they instead can be fighting!
The section layout is the following:
1. Gatehouse
2. Market/Rooftops
3. Townhall/Belltower
4. Southern windlass
Those veteran players who know all maps like their fingertips might have noticed that Bards House sadly did not make it into this new layout. It shall be dearly missed. But today is no time for sadness, so go forth to Laketown and fight!
