RPG Huenchenburg

Description
Mapper [b]Pat_DH[/b] has released [b]RPG_Huenchenburg[/b], a new roleplaying map.

Huenchenburg is a clear re-use of the classic HM Camelot map, but with a massive re-design and refit, turning it into something of a castle outpost on an alien planet (as the EF2 skybox would imply). It has to be said, a lot of the architecture and feel reminds me of the Lost City of Atlantis from Stargate Atlantis, which is no bad thing (theres even a ZPM room, with ZPMs): bit of post-modern within a stone structure. The castle contains a number of chambers, such as a command center, office, bedrooms, medical bays and a lab of some description. My favourite room is the torture chamber, as it is so very well put together - Sharp metal weapons line the wall, whilst a blood stained table sits in the center, and a working prison cell at the very back, complete with "NO ESCAPE" carved onto the wall. Good stuff. The non-stock textures, including some Attrexian control panels from EF2 are refreshing, and most panels actually have a function, such as locking the gates. There is also a turbolift network set up.

Just when you are thinking that Huenchenburg is a mysterious, dark and unusual map, go through an unassuming door, and you find yourself at an Engineering disco. Yup, thats right. The USS Dallas engineering section makes a cameo, with bright, coloured lights. There are even various pictures of Kulhane the Chyken, with shades on. Very suddenly, the map begins to feel like Freak_Fish randomness. However, I suppose its a bit of fun even if it seems out of place.

In conclusion, whilst the entire map is terribly dark and needs a bit more lighting methinks, Huenchenburg has the potential to be a very good away mission roleplaying map, despite the random disco, so heres hoping that another version will be released. :)
