Seems your bot pathing troubles aren't over yet.
That makes me wonder, though: If one gets stuck there and the entire rest of the wave is killed off, does the sniper suicide because he's a support bot who doesn't drop money anyway, or do you have to hunt him down and kill him before the wave can end?

If he is support, he will suicide. I'm not sure if they will suicide if they are a support WITH money, but in general i'd say its safer to not give your support bots any money. Also, Giants would get stuck there and essentially hold the bomb away from the hatch and we could win the waves with little threat.
This map is beautiful and feels very French seaside town, but I have some problems with it:
- Sentrybusters have difficult/can't get to the platform with the the forward upgrade station (nice idea, btw).
- Although I was playing by myself, the whole map feels skewed, with a lot of the action taking place near the boat + wood ramps and on the sand and very little inland near the cafe area.
- You might as well use whatever the brush entity is that tells bots to avoid an area to stop them going in the water at the wood ramps because that only causes headaches anyway.
- Pyros are really powerful on this map, as there are two places at the hatch where you can set the bomb back really far: sending it off the bridge and at the top of the wooden ramps. In fact, you probably want a rail or something at the top of the ramp because it is just way to easy to postpone the bots infinitely.
- The spawn room floor texture is the same as the floor texture just outside. Butt ugly. In fact, I think you should have a tweak and make the spawn look a little more indoors.
Still, love the map and I just wish there were any European custom MvM servers.

Great Map!
This is the best map out of the contest, but i did find a bug. you can jump on the large boat from the small boat, then onto the coast on the other side of the rock. what you can do there is beyond me. anyway, i think it would be cool to make that second boat fully accessible and build able, but if not, block it off. thanks for making this, and good luck in the contest!

cafe tests show that this map has a lot of functional issues with pathing.
mvm_ventus_b6: Looks real pretty - I absolutely love the beachfront style of the map. The only problem is that it seems functionally broken. Bots didn't care to follow the signs laid out, and because of that they took the shortest route possible (at least on wave 1 and 2, couldnt' get further). The waves need to be toned out in difficulty, because the shortest route possible is only 4 turns away from the bot's spawnpoint, and when wave 2 features 30+ Bowmen on a map without a lot of cover, it's just asking to get destroyed quickly.
