Slapdash 5 day art pass in order to squeak in the time limit for Rule of Thirds Major Contest.
Featuring:
Hopefully I can work on this some more sometime.
- 2 hour skybox
- Lighting errors
- Seam between world and skybox water
- Probably a lot of bugs

Issues with previous version:
- Blu still doesn't have great attack routes for A.
- B and C are difficult for Red to hold as there's no great spots to set up for them.
- A is the easiest point to hold as a result.
- C's exits were far apart for Blu, resulting in Blu possibly becoming unfocused in their pushes. One exit also directly faced one of Red's spawn exits.
Changes in this version:
- Lengthened the connector between Blu's spawn and A.
- There is a building in front of A that connects directly to it. This allows Blu to set up easier and blocks vis for hopefully better performance.
- Added some containers to the right flank route on A as cover for flank classes.
- Re-added one way door into A for Blu.
- Blocked some of the windows on A on Blu's side. This should give them more cover and make it harder for Red snipers to pick Blu players through them.
- Added a flank route that goes underneath Red's high point on A.
- Slightly shortened the length of the A building. This also affects the high ground cover for Red.
- Removed the route to Blu's forward spawn that overlooks B. This can prevent some potential camping by Red players but also makes it so Blu doesn't have a large height and visibility advantage over Red on B.
- Damaged one of the barn walls on B so Red has better visibility of the point.
- Added a place for engineers to set up on B.
- Added more ammo kits and increased existing ones near B for Red engineers.
- Increased the height of the terrain on Red's side of B to give them more of a height advantage.
- Added a hill to the flank route on B to block visibility. This should help flank classes as well as cut down on sight lines.
- Reworked B-C connector slightly to focus Blu more. Exits to C are roughly in the same location and there is no longer the one near Red's spawn. As a result the battlements for Red should make much more sense. There is now a second, more visible staircase leading to the high ground inside the B-C connector building where Blu engineers can set up.
- Flank route for Blu on C now is less visible from the point.
- Opened up the C point more so Red fight for the point without being directly on top of it.
- Added a "hayloft" on C so Red engineers can set up and other Red players can gain a height advantage.
- Added some more ammo kits around C for Red engineers.

I hit the image upload limit on this post lol
Issues with previous version:
- While the one way door on A did prevent Red from rushing in front of Blu's spawn, it also didn't really help Blu push at all.
- All openings to A could be easily watched by one sniper. There wasn't enough cover for attackers.
- Blu had difficulty running to C as the B-C connector was a bit too open? They seem to ignore the covered flank route that gives them height advantage and a place to set up.
- Red's spawn on C was a little too close and they could peek the shutter door freely.
Changes in this version:
- Made the one way door on A into a door that only opens once A is capped. I may revert this, I really don't know what to do with this door at this point lol
- Added some signs to guide Blu players on the awning - their height advantage on A. They have tended to ignore it thus far for some reason.
- Closed one of the entrances to A and replaced it with another entrance in a slightly different location. Added some cover to the A area so that every entrance can't be watched from a single location.
- Added a little bit of cover on the B-C connector so Blu can hide and run to C a little more safely?
- Added some more signs on the flank route of the B-C connector so Blu hopefully uses it this time.
- Removed a cover prop on C to make attacking easier.
- Moved Red's spawn on C back slightly. Changed the layout so the exit going towards B isn't on top of the route to the C.
- Decreased cap times overall
- Removed force respawn for Red once Blu caps B. I forgot I still had that on.
- Slightly altered respawn times. In general Blu respawns a few seconds faster and Red respawns a few seconds later than before.
Screenshots of changes:
A turned out to be a huge issue in the last version. Hopefully this update will fix it and I can get info on B and C.
Issues with previous version:
Changes in this version:
- I listened to an engineer player in a previous game and increased ammo on the first point. This unfortunately made A one of the strongest holds in the entire map. Whoops! It also brought out some other issues in the map though.
- Since Red has access to the high ground route that Blu is supposed to use, Red can effectively shut down Blu here and get into spawn camping territory. Not good.
- People find it frustrating getting stuck in the trenches outside of Blu's spawn.
- Blu only has one high ground point on A and Red can hold it very well.
- Blu could still roll. Spawn times were way too high.
Screenshots of changes:
- Reverted ammo pack sizes. No more full pack for engies in the best spot in the map.
- Removed an annoying glass wall on the A capture zone.
- Blu's high ground route into A now has a one way door so Red can't push into Blu's spawn area for free.
- Stacked another container in front of the open window so Blu has another high ground location. No longer a one way.
- Brought up the height of the trenches outside of Blu spawn so you can jump up onto the ledges now. Also, I made a ramp in front of the spawn area to get to the left building on A.
- Increased the cap times to be more inline with other single stage A/D maps.
- A - 30 seconds (was 20)
- B - 30 seconds (was 20)
- C - 10 seconds (was 15) I might lower this even further
- Decreased spawn times all across the map to be inline with standard A/D maps. No longer will you have a 32 second spawn time. Really sorry about that!
