http://www.roblox.com/item.aspx?id=52042068

I have about four hours into this game. The goal is to make it using entirely stamper items (with a few exceptions), and the terrain generator. In the game, it is a capture the flag based game, with two teams.

I haven't added weapons yet, but I am thinking the weapon might be a modified paintball gun (the one used in brick battles).

Should I use traps in the terrain? If so:
Type 1: Fall through blocks, that lead to spikes.
Type 2: Invisible explosives

Should I include tunnels? What should I add? What should I improve?

I am currently cleaning up the jaggedness of the terrain.

No traps, but add caverns. And a LOT of ruins. Ruins are great for war maps.

I don't know if I can make ruins with the stamper, but I will definitely consider that.

Also, I am aiming towards a little something like a modern brick battle.

As for traps, a great way to make a nearly invisible trap is to delete one block of terrain, and put a flamethrower pointing up in the hole. Then wire an invisible trigger to the flamethrower, after replace the terrain with the flamethrower in it by clicking the inside of the hole to hide the trap. Once all that is finished, move the invisible trigger over the now sealed hole.

And bingo, fire-mine.

@Ninja Okay, I shall add that.
@Akumaru I can only use the stuff inside the stamper tool, plus a few exceptions that are key parts of making the game work.

I think you have lots of different underground tunnels in the terrain, like A maze.
Maybe have some leading In side each others Fort, close to there flag.

@Hot The bases are relatively small, 11 by 11 stamper blocks.

Why 11 by 11? I find that even numbers are easier to build with symetrically.

@Ninja I'm not sure, I found out it was 11x11 after I was done building the first one.

Okay, I have another idea, but am unaware if I should use it. I am thinking of making everyone look the same, but have their armor, correspond to their team. I am willing to work out a deal with the owners of the shirts to allow me to copy them, and recolor them.

Here are my choices:

I broked the links. Add "item" before the question mark. Each one is a little different around the neck area.

More underground tunnels with maze like deadends and a grand fighting area in the center that all tunnels lead to eventually. Main tunnels out of the forts.
Above ground you need buildings or trees ,anything to hide behind.
And roads are a must if you plan on using stamper vehicles. Anything that is not in stamper can be put in lighting and a button or gui to call it.

If you want to see some epic terrain 'buildings' with stamper blocks take a peek at scacman1967's place. You could have an epic paintball battle in those buildings.
Although in an 11x11 base they would be too big. Could you make one or more of the bases an 11x11 building with 2 or more sets of terrain stairs or ramps between 4 or 5 floors?
