Background
So, ever since my reply to a Lava/Dungeon Map suggestion by @Leviathan, I’ve had the idea to port the map Lava Bath by CubeMath just sitting in the back of my head for whenever workshop map support came out…
And then it did.
But then collision for hidden objects was broken…
So now it’s out!
Map Details
This is pretty much a scaled-up version of the original, I believe it fits well with the faster pace and looser feel of Little Crusaders compared to Ultimate Chimera Hunt. Beyond that though, the overall layout of the map remains consistent in proportion. Minor differences include the rounded sections having more sides, due to the geometry of canvas cylinders being a lot more forgiving than the brushwork in the original, and the background details (spikes, volcanoes, cliffs) not being exact copies because they weren’t the main focus.
Some dynamic features have been omitted, like the rising lava and breakaway slope. The rising lava I plan to add once we get the ability to move objects with Condo I/O, and the breakaway slope I’m not entirely sure if I want to add. The larger of the sinking pillars has been replaced by a platform that will be in one of a few positions each round. The central pillar that the Chimera would spawn on has been left out for now–I do intend to add this once we get the ability to move objects, for the sake of spawn-protection.
My main memories of this map consist of lobbies just devolving into tail whip-only matches where the Chimera would almost exclusively try to swipe the Pigmasks into the lava. This made it one of the more memorable maps for me alongside the usual favorites like Club Titiboo, Laboratory, and the various renditions of Saturn Valley.

this is bonus
While waiting for the collision issue to be fixed, I went ahead and threw in the necessary items for a SDNL version of the map. It seemed like it’d be pretty nice to hop around on. That can be found here:
