With only a little sawmill run by poor neutral Gray Gravel Co. separating two giant megacorporations, tensions have naturally been running high in the alpines and a secret arms race has begun between RED and BLU. BLU, hasty for a solution, decides to kill two birds with one stone and get rid of some nuclear waste by rigging together a time bomb set to explode when it reaches RED's hydroelectric generators, destroying the facility's power source entirely.
Inpsired by a dam close to my home (http://www.nj.gov/dep/floodcontrol/images/pompton_lakes_dam.jpg), which I happened to pass by on the day Sawmill was announced. I started drawing up ideas for a new map and finally got around to making it around the beginning of June. With elements of Sawmill, Badwater Basin and Cashworks in its map design both visually and gameplay-wise, Floodgates has gone through a few major revisions throughout its lifespan and hopefully they've all been worth it.
