Kahoalii - [volcano name] has got nothing on this.

Kahoalii is a 3 Stage Payload map set on a red controlled island, disguised as a tourist hot spot alongside the Hawaiian islands.

This map is designed for the Tf2maps Payload Checklist Contest, by Octoblitz and Xelily

The Current checklist items this map features:

A new update to Kahoalii has arrived

Stage 1 changes:

- The entire stage has been remade from scratch

This was a really hard decision on my part when it came to working on this map as I generally tend to have a hard time designing layouts for maps, especially when it comes to how I think players will react to it, however I hope this stage gets better as the map progresses... - Octoblitz

Stage 2 Changes:

• - Changed back alley to a oneway dropdown path
• - Added a partially open gate to back alleys connector
• - Added new canal route
• - Redid hedges by Blu Spawn
• - Removed 2 sightlines
• - 1 2 2 -1

Stage 3 is currently in production.

Please provide any feedback you may have on this map as possible as we may be able to produce more updates in the future.

Happy testing!

"Look I'm gonna be honest, after the contest I genuinely thought stage 1 (the stage I primarily worked on) was the only thing that made this map lose, however after I ate a tub of Ice Cream and took a long break from the site for a while I came back to working on maps and experimenting behind the scenes. Xelily did an amazing job at giving me a launching off point to help work on the map further and without their help this map would probably never be updated again! Hopefully we can continue to make this map better than we ever could." - Octoblitz

Two things:
1. Please keep working on this map, it's really cool!!!!!!!
2. Do you think you'd be able to add Xelily as a collaborator now that TF2m has that functionality?

Welcome to Paradise

I wanted to push an update to this map just cause


- No longer 2 stage, stages fused into one single stage
- added bomb pit to hotel finale
- added new custom assets
- frogge
- moved back red's first spawn
- turned old Blu spawn into a new fighting ground and downsized their respawn room
- optimized using area portals


Yes I'm still working on Newsie and Sabotage but I thought I'd at least give this map a little love while I'm at it
