-fixed missing health & ammo on blu side of map
-added small ammo kit at mid
-changed med ammo in tunnels to small ammo
-changed weird wire shed thing by spawn building to just be some concrete walkway area thing
-fixed clipping around map
-added barrels by pipes by tunnel
-Widened sign on 2nd transitional building to block weird lil sightline to first transitional building.
-changed respawn time after point is caped. Attackers now have a 6 sec respawn and defenders have an 8
-removed health pack 'n ammo on left side of 1st trasitional building
-edited stairs out of tunnel to be smaller while replacing the guard wall above them with a shoot throughable handrail
-Moved health n ammo behind left angled wall under catwalk to next to the 2nd transitional building
-moved health and ammo from tunnel to closer to point
-simplified tunnels and changed indoor exit to be easier to cover and more predictable
-changed indoor area on the side of the point to block a weird sniper sightline that no one complained about but probably would eventually since I think people just hadn't found it yet
-detailing?
-changed the layout of spawn rooms to try and make it so players favor the left exit less (psst. Hey...uh... there's a right side to this map. Did you know that? You can go out the spawn exit on the right and there's a whole side of a map over there. You should try it out some time, it's magical)
-messed around with tonemap's n such with lighting
-some other stuff that I don't remember

-changed up mid and the spawn area a bit.
-shortened first transition building in order to lower walk time to point
-widened point area
-squared off upper platforms by point
-changed height variation by spawn and first transitional building to be more in favor of the spawning team
-remade a lot of the first transitional building to give the spawning team more height advantage in order to stop whoever owns the point from pushing into the spawn area.
-removed second env_light that existed for some reason
-remade skybox brushes
-changed spawn doors to have windows
-some detailing, probably more than I should do at this point but whatever. Ya know how it is.
-raised point owners respawn time from 8 to 12 seconds
-removed roof vents on tall buildings at mid and changed em around to be more interesting as well as give players more options of where to go.
-blocked some new sight lines created by new areas that could be a bit overpowered
-cleaned up some really just awful brushwork. I mean really, what was I thinking when I originally made this map?

Really excited about this update. I feel like I did some good stuff here. Hope it ends up being good.

-lowered overall accessible highground
-fixed players being able to cap the point while on the roofs
-changed angled brush with cylinders on it by mid to be a path into that building
-fixed multiple clipping issues and misaligned brushes
-extended stairs in lower flank to fit the width of the hallway instead of leaving a lil nook
-moved player spawn to be more in the middle of the room so both left and right exits are more appealing
-set doors at point to be open
-added health and ammo pickups in building before mid's courtyard
-upgraded small health and ammo pickups in the mid side buildings to medium pickups
-added new path to highground in courtyard before point
-moved right path over to the left a bit to make it less out of the way from spawn
-removed wasted space by spawn
-added some one way windows to building before point courtyard
-widened upper catwalk from building infront of spawn to building infront of point courtyard
-added prop below drop down inside building infront of spawn courtyard
-added stairs to inside of building before mid courtyard to upper areas
-removed overhang roof and doorway on the red's right side of the building before mid courtyard and gave all classes easy access in hopes of giving snipers somewhere to camp
-raised skybox after first transition building
-shortened transition building between spawn and the transition courtyard in order to shorten length between spawn room and point. It's now 3900 some units instead of over 4000 which is still larger than Viaduct's 3100 some units but Synthetic isn't a clone of viaduct so I DON'T GIVE A CRAP YO!!!!
