Sword Fight On The Heights
Sword Fight On The Heights or SFOTH is a map in PHIGHTING!.
Overview
Sword Fight On The Heights is a symmetrical hybrid map featuring two large spawn towers with doorways that lead to several parts of the map. The central doorway leads to a small bridge with direct access to the central octagonal platform. The left doorway leads to the large bridge overlooking the central platform. Finally the right doorway leads to a side bridge providing a possible flank route. The central platform can be accessed by two ramps on opposite sides. The large bridge on either side of the map can be accessed via a large ramp leading up to a cliffside with a tree or via a set of trees. The bridge provides an excellent spot for long-range Phighters as well as a good vantage point.
Gameplay features
The map spawns are sky towers with doorframes which, when entered, teleport the player to a corresponding door in the main map. The doors are one-way and cannot be used to travel back to spawn. There are 6 pairs of doorframes, 3 for each team, or 12 doors in total.
The map features trampolines, which will throw the players upwards on contact. Once used, the player cannot use the trampoline for 3 seconds.
Setting
Sword Fight On The Heights's setting is based off of the game Sword Fight on the Heights. Many items, objects, and weapons from the maps inspiration are scattered around the map, some being inaccessible. In different areas of the map, there are towers mainly featuring one of the seven swords, and red trees sticking out of the tower, as well as some having a large black sword with a chain holding its handle, and a broken ladder. The map's spawn areas have three doorways leading to different areas, and a red or blue colored ring. Around the map are yellow and black colored bridges, with red and black railings not far from them. The floors of the map are decorated with red colored grass, diamond shaped rocks, and unstable brick walls. In the middle of the map is a small hill displaying a large red sword sticking out of its center.
