Did not know this forum was full of dumb asses tooWell your basis of making a map is based on seeing a movie with a vague description added to it.
also pos any other map ideas from movies, books, and that thing we call the interwebThis is a big reason nobody will take you seriously.
Holy shit Menelaos, you just demonstrated why many people don't like you and why this community is criticized for being hostile to new members. What the fuck did I just read?You read me speaking my thoughts to an idiot who has seen a movie and posted a random thread, donators are the only people who have opinion, it's a my response to stupid threads. I don't in particular like spam. I'm curious where FSE has been criticized for being hostile to new members.

This point has been raised before...quite frankly Eagles I love the idea. Welcome to the forums :DNow that's a warm welcome :)
This whole thing got out of hand, I just wanted to speak my mind.It's okay, some people are hateful spirits. I think Fort Wagner would be cool to add. It's a known siege due to 'Glory', so it'd be good commercialization on FSE's part.

Would make an epic game trailer...
Plus you could show an all(well, mostly)-black regiment! That'd certainly be a change from the norm.When you create an avatar before the servers load do you think it should have a darker (black) skin tone or it auto makes everyone other then officers black when the round starts?
So yeah, it'd be a great idea.
Your knowledge from seeing a bad movie has benefited us all, thank you. 5 star post here.XD way to hate
is Glory a good Movie?
Well, quite frankly, if we make a video of their charge as an official ad (using beta-players or something) that will DEFINITELY get a lot of views and attention, also from ACW hubs. Could be well-worth it.
Fort Wagner, seems like not a bad idea.
Deserting where to?Sorry if am wrong as my knowledge on this war is limited, but weren't blacks/former slaves executed when taken prisoner? If thats the case the 'missing' can quite easily be explained.
They weren't wounded, because they didn't show up in the lists as such. Nor as taken prisoner.
There was a Fort/Battery Wagner map for an unrelased mod I worked on a while back, as some may already have seen. I don't have any screens of the map itself, but an image showing the fort model seems to have survived. The tower is not really accurate though, but the map itself was aweome. The Union troops were to charge across the sand dunes against the fort, in the background at sea there were gunboats and ironclads, providing not always accurate support fire for the attacking force. A waterfilled ditch with fraise/abatis, sharpened sticks was placed in front of the walls. Needles to say, this fort would be a tough position to capture! Here's an image of the fort model:That looks pretty bumpin 8)

A cannon that would have been used by the fort's defenders:

Thats not even remotely close to how Fort Wagner looked like. This is a picture of a model that was WIP. I posted it in the Donators board a few months ago.

This is how it looked like. Kinda. It is wip, so yeah.

Actually, while Glory does have many historical inaccuracies, the Second Battle of Fort Wagner is not really one of them. The description of the ground over which the 54th led the assault is accurate (even though the direction of the attack is wrong due to lighting requirements), as are the defences (if you look at surviving photographs you will see).
