Darkmarsh is a community-created Attack/Defend Control Point map released during the Scream Fortress 2024 update. It is set in a dark swamp that is home to a small desolate town and a large gothic castle. Periodically, magic spells will spawn in various areas around the map. It is a Halloween version of the custom map France.
Darkmarsh was contributed to the Steam Workshop.
Contents
Locations
- Spawns: Both BLU and RED team have three different spawns.
- Setup: BLU spawns in the "Docks" while RED spawns near control point B.
- After A's capture: BLU still spawns in the Docks, although their spawn location is moved a couple of meters closer to the exit. RED moves to their second spawn inside the Castle.
- After B's capture: BLU's spawn moves to where RED's first spawn used to be. RED team is relocated to their final spawn.
Control Point A
Control Point A is located inside a small hut, surrounded by a chain-link fence from two sides.
- Cellar: A tall building located right outside of BLU's first spawn. In its basement is a collection of wine bottles, while next to it is a shack containing a large health pack.
- Cathedral Portal: Located to the left of the Cellar is a massive gothic cathedral covering a large part of the map. Most of the aforementioned cathedral is outside the playable area, but its Portal serves as an important flank route to the Fountain Square.
- Fountain Square: A small square behind the Cellar; in its middle is a fountain overgrown with flowers.
- Ivy Shack: A large shack, whose interior is adorned with Ivies and Vines, can be seen near Point A; slightly hanging over the Cliff.
Control Point B
Control Point B is found right in front of the massive Gates that lead into the Burgomeister's Castle.
- Portcullis: After capturing Point A, a large Portcullis begins to lift up, leading the way to point B. Similarly, a set of previously closed wooden doors just right of the Portcullis also begins opening.
- Chapel: Adjacent to the left side of the Portcullis is a small chapel that acts a flank path around the previously mentioned Portcullis.
- Quaint House: A small white residential building separates the Chapel from Point B.
- Cliffside Mansion: Bordering the cliff and the crocodile-infested waters below it exists a large square mansion, through which passes a narrow flank path.
Control Point C
The final stretch of the map mostly takes place inside the large and luxurious Burgomeister's Castle. Its interior consists of spacious rooms with high chandelier-carrying ceilings, whose walls and floors are adorned with red carpets and banners.
- Castle Gates: The main entrance to the Castle, although there exist two smaller side entrances next to it. It begins to lift up just after Point B is captured.
- Fireplace Room: Immediately in front of the Gates is a slightly run-down room with a fireplace and some furniture in it.
- Wine Storage: Going through one of the smaller side entrances takes one to the Wine Storage, a vast room with cabinets containing large wine bottles.
- Shortcut: Accessible from the Fireplace Room is a small hallway that takes players to the Library.
- Library: A library-like chamber with a lot of bookshelves and reading spaces, useful for flanking around Point C.
- Stairs Flank: Opposite to the Library is a flight of stairs that lead to a small perch.
- Dropdown: One of the exits for RED's final spawn room, ending in a dropdown.
