A Smooth Criminal submitted a new resource:

Drought - Hydro's Weird CTF Cousin (Twice Removed)

I went a bit bigger for my second go here.
Perhaps too big, but at last I have something that works now.
Welcome to Drought, a CTF map on top of a dam! And not just any dam, but the one seen on Hydro!
(You better appreciate the connection, I spent like a week just figuring out how to accurately recreate the dam.)
