*NOTES*
   This is meant to be another dueling map and I think it works very well for that purpose.
   The Ikbase textures as I said before are just amazing and the env is very cool looking.
   The env is named "Cosmic Forge", ergo the map name "Forge Base"
 OH YEAH please let me know what you think good or bad, i'm not overly 
  sensitive either just go easy with the harsh language, remember we live in a "society".
 

    A few of my maps run on an LoF server at 24.113.104.178 You will need to install 
     the WoD mod to benefit the most in there. Say "hey" to all the LOF peops you see there.
