CP Kombu A16

[Berry]

A red desertAn autumn 3 control point Attack & Defend map. A point is a power pylon (maybe BLU destroys it when I add detail to cut out power?), B point is a storage yard for the C point, which is a train yard which I have not decided what is entirely yet (probably the typical berry "barns with lasers!!" stuff).

For reference, "kombu" is a shade of green, following my colour shade map naming scheme (amaranth, celadon, cerulean, cerise).

Great submission to the Arctic Theme Pack. I love it.

In all seriousness, this looks very nice. I'm excited to see how it plays.

Reasons why I hate Berry:

1. He always seems to come up with the best, simple layouts I can never think of.
2. That's it really...

Well, I spent about a week (on and off) working on the layout for this, and I'm still pretty dissatisfied with some of it (particularly C)

By updating straight after an imp and being up until 4am.

Tell me you're not going to stick with that ugly-as-fck rails+sleepers texture and that you're going to use actual rails and sleepers.
