Description:
The small (fictional) town of Lewisbury, Montana is your typical quiet small town, carved into surrounding mountains and hills over 130 years ago. However, the construction of a large oil pipeline originating from Canada began development through the heart of the town and continuous civil unrest has thrown the town into turmoil.

Black Gold is a map I originally sketched out just prior to the launch of Far Cry 5, however I didn't get around to publishing the first version about a month after launch, mainly due to excessive procrastination. This map is my second ever map published in the Far Cry series, the other being a simple Outpost map in Far Cry 4. Far Cry's map editor has always intrigued me, being what is known as a "forger" in the 'Forge' mode in Halo myself, which is, simply put, an advanced object manipulation tool for multiplayer in the Halo series.
Moving on, while the overall layout in Black Gold's original sketch remains the same, it underwent major revisions during creation. Nearing its overall layout being completed, I began optimizing the map with gameplay in mind by adding various line-of-sight blockers (such as the scattered debris and vehicles on the map), preventing players from exploiting positions that would give them a major advantage (examples: fence above the body shop, barbed wire above the gas pump roofs, etc.), and modifying the environment to encourage players to take particular routes.
Recently its come to my attention that (as of this post) Black Gold reached the number 5th highest rated multiplayer map on PC, which has prompted me to begin promoting the map more. I hope everybody enjoys the map as much as I had building it. Hopefully one day the map can be considered to be featured by Ubisoft. If any employees at Ubisoft have any concerns with the map (such as with gameplay for any reason) prior to featuring it, please contact me and I can make tweaks to it if need be.
Thanks, everyone! :)
