G’day Forts fans!
Our latest update opened the floodgates of creativity for High Seas mapmakers with the inclusion of multi-level water. To celebrate this new feature we’re looking for the best 2v2, 3v3, or 4v4 map that makes use of it in the fourth official Forts map making contest.
The winning creator will receive a $100 Steam gift card, Map Maker Champion in-game medal, and have their map promoted in-game, on Steam, and across social media.
New multi-level water system in action.
