PL Andes A3

[RodionJenga]

Andes - It's Inca Hoots!

The Inca didn't have any wheels. But here's a payload anyway.

It's a pretty standard uphill 4cp single stage map. I went a bit overboard with displacements.

First Questions (for gamedays and imps):
-Just how overscaled is this? Where are snipers hanging out?
-Does red or blue have the advantage at the moment? Will have to do some balancing, I'm sure.
-Is it overly derivative from existing maps?

Will edit later when I'm not as cranky

First thing I thought of when I read the title

Looks pretty good, except that one grass texture that is in all 4 corners of the last screenshot literally looks like puke. I would suggest changing that as I know some people will comment on that to be changed.

I've added your map to the imp list. It should be played within the next 24 hours.

Remove the "N" in the title, I think it will have improved

47 feedback comments? Well that should be enough to start fixing all the broken stuff straight away. A2 coming soon*

Just thought this was amusing — the way you put your box around the bomb cart makes it look like it has a picture of the bomb painted on the side:

Woo, it's been a while, but Andes is back, folks.

-Clipping and trigger_hurts should be greatly improved. Of course fb is appreciated if I missed something
-In addition, the palace now is locked away until red can spawn there, so there's definitely no unwelcome jumper visitors
-Speaking of red spawn, yes the forward spawn is lower. Geometry around that area is also a bit different
-Still speaking of spawns, spawn teleporting now is a thing
-Cave area displacements should be about 80% less distorted
-The cart path is now made up of flat brushes, should be easier to see.
-Some other small-to-medium layout changes

Almost everything that changed was in the 2nd half of the map. Huh.
-Throne room lowered 128hu. Routes to it altered to fit
-More interior walls added to palace
-New route from main palace gate to throne room
-More geometry/buildings added to village area between points B and C, will hopefully provide more cover.
-Improvements to spawn doors, palace doors
-Slight changes to displacements, textures
-Assorted pickup promotions
