I got the idea to make a big siege map :D. Such big carnage xD. I started to do a map. Work is still in progress. I have only one question. Is it good idea?? Screenshots album:

It leaks and has no light. Please change that before u release a beta.

Idea might be interesting, but you have to work a lot on it.
The map leaks, there is no light and the map is very open (=high r_speeds=lags). Also all wood and box textures are misaligned and the flag is very campable.
I also would delete the jail spawn, because i hate jails. If you want to have it, you should add "forcejail" "1" to the worldspawn.
And it should be "givebarrel" instead of "give barrel", there is a space too much.

and the map is very open (=high r_speeds=lags)
what should i do with this? and sorry for my bad english. I'm using translate.google.com for help xD

It is almost impossible to fix it without a general remake, don't make your map so big and so open. This game can't handle it. At the moment this map is realy emtpy. If you add things and details to it, the r_speeds will get higher and higher.
But first of all, fix the leak and add lights (sunlight) as T3RR0R15T said.

Looks like a LOTR map from css
-
ok, ill try to fix it. i can make map little less. I don't want to add a lot of details
-
I can't add light:

What's happening??

Hehe, too big and too open too ;)
This topic could help you. It's not completed, but it show you the most important solutions for some different errors.

If you have a lot of open areas in your map, you will likely get this error. You should try to avoid open areas because the brush's textures are big and 'patch hungry.'
I do not force it. If you want this project, you can download new version :D. select only that, I started the project :D
-
The main reason for the max_patches error were the leaks.
You should realy learn how to avoid this overlapped brushes. It makes me sad to see those weird and horrible mapfiles.
Renamed the mapfile to beta, fixed the leak, and some other small things, but I didn't fix the bad brushwork, because it would be easier to remake this map than fixing all brushes...:D
The fastvis export works fine now, but I won't get the time to test the final compile. Maybe it works fine too or you have to scale up some visible textures. Just test it and post here if you have problems.
Also the base was not siege. A siege base should be between the offensive and the deffensive team. And why did you use a func_water entity? Don't know if it works in this game, but it's useless in your map, so I revert it to the world :)
Btw, i am not interested to continue the map ;)

thx very much :D

Looks like a great siege map once completed.
I would look forward to playing on it.
