Muckwater - Fight for control over oil fields and a boathouse in the bayou

For my first Arena map, I've decided to try and go for a bayou setting using the elusive Swamp Theme. With a layout inspired by Lumberyard, Muckwater brings smaller combat spaces and alligator-ridden waters to the figurative Mapping Table.

I would like to note that the current download pictures are of A1 and thus vastly outdated. I will try to update them in the next update.
