Hello, I'm StickZer0 and I bring you my latest map - KotH_Canada!

Canada is a King of the Hill map set in (you guessed it) snowy Canada! Gameplay is centered around a central capture point, with multiple routes, all leading to the center. Many of the rooves are accessible, and while it is easier for scouts and soldiers, other classes can all take different, but slightly longer routes up to the top.

The gameplay is based on fast action and a constant change in control of the capture point. The capture time has been considerably reduced compared to a normal KotH map, so when you see your point is being capped by a single person, you have 14 seconds to haul ass and get to the cap and defend what is rightfully yours. Similarly, if the enemy has set up camp, one push can get you straight to the cap and turn the game on its head.

You can see a flythrough video of the map here.







Side passages give classes such as sniper and engineer places to set up and hold out once the cap has been taken.







Known issues:
  • Slightly buggy door at each side of mid

Shoutouts and Thanks:
  • J4CK8, Beanz and Torpedo Pengwin, for constant feedback and help.
  • Anyone i've stumbled across in the TF2Maps.net chat, you've taught me loads.
  • -TECU- and Bacon Sandvich for giving me a place to get my map tested easily.
  • Acumen for the snowy roof models

I would like any feedback you have to offer about this map, as I'm sure all of it will be valuable.

Thanks in advance!

More interesting implies detail, alphas are not detailed.

on a less off-topic note:
i´m always doubltful that trees in the playingfield are good for the gameplay,
they might work as islands to block visibility, but not scattered throughout the whole map

To accurately represent snowy Canada, it needs MOAR snow and more cold (trigger_hurt. Everywhere.).

Can i just say a trigger hurt every where would be a terrible idea unless it was by a tiney amount eg. 0.05

No it wouldn't!
You positively NEED a trigger hurt over the entire map with a damage set to 1000. Oh, and don't forget to block the spawns in since it's winter and the players should be snowed in :D

I'd be interested in beavers :E

Also i like the maple skyrup tree idea maybe make it like the pumpkins on koth_harvest_event only the tree's dont actually get destroyed and they give off a maple skyrup particle.

Good may ey
