Hello crash this map looks nice and i think the theme would add a new theme to the game [if not has been done before] the map looks fine for alpha also will there be a train somewhere?
Was that inspired by that picture you posted in Architectural references? Where you said you could imagine a payload track going up

Nope! That was part was actually in place before I ever posted that.
I've been working on this on and off for a few months now, finally getting some momentum allowing me to put some serious time into it.
From the playtest earlier tonight I thought it was an incredibly solid map for an A1. I agree that the final area seemed to be the weakest part of the map, but I'm really looking forward to seeing future updates of this map.
Our team did also have some issues pushing into second, though that may of just been an issue with our team. I did love the design of second.

Looks nice, cant wait to test it.
Maybe call it pl_architect since with the stone bridge and all, something centered around the way it is structured

Will you be doing some form of video change log on the map like with Glassworks? I'd love to see this progress. And of course, Twitch.

Here's a bit of a fly-through while I talk about the map:

Something tells me this looks nice as a German town eaten by a RED factory. Just popped on my mind, lol.

A few quick thoughts after playing this on your server, ranging between 5v5 and 7v7.
1. I'm not really fond of third. I'd have to play it more to really pinpoint why, though. One definite thing is the scarcity of health and ammo.
2. I really like the play area surrounding second, but I'm not keen on the pickup placement. It could really afford to aid the attacking team more.
3. I feel like there might be a bit too much time added after the first point is capped.
As a side note I think it would be neat to have the cart hook towards the death pit briefly after the first cap.

Yeah those are a lot of things I agree with. My health and ammo placement needs a major overhaul and I've got a bunch of ideas for that that will help blu push into second.
I can definately lower the time increase back down, my big concern was the length of track after first, as it's a pretty long stretch.

Me and some friends were on your listed server today, and mind you looking through it seems you took note of some bugs but major ones I found were:
1. In RED's first spawn, if Point B gets capped RED gets stuck in their spawn.
2. One Way Doors seem to catch people a lot.
3. Area around the final point (namely, the ramp to the point itself, the window area) looks like you could traverse it but you can't. Maybe put some gate there or something?
Mind you it's tough to say how gameplay turns out, since it was just a few people so those are just some bugs I found.
