WiP in WiP, post your screenshots!

It's night time. They're adding to the ambient light in the area (in both upwards and downwards directions so the buildings adjacent are lit all the way up) and that one at the back will be lighting up the roof (Though unless you rocket jump up there....)
Excuse the double post:
Finally got the final point down. Just gotta sort out RED's spawn around here and bam, ready for testing.

I may or may not have any idea what I'm doing.

I think you need some more cover for the CP seen on the first screenshot.

If that's a center CP (first image) you should have some better access to it, maybe try adding some higher ground on either side for flanking options, with the ability to jump down onto the point from above.
quick example:
the bridge out to the point looks a little long, and the roll forwards might make it too difficult to defend. unless it starts there, in which case, derpaherp
also the big pool of water is gonna be hell for pyros
I'm well aware of these circumstances. But i can assure you i've given it adequate thought. It only takes 4-6 seconds (512 units) to push the cart across the bridge (give or take number of cappers) which is a fraction of TF2 gameplay and not long at all.
Secondly, water will always make the pyro weak, that doesn't stop map authors using it methodically and with purpose, even in large amounts (sawmill). It is not a rule to exclude water from all maps all the time for ever. Dropping into the water is a tactical choice to be weighed against the protection of the objective by either team and the narrow path increases the power of his airblast. I can assure you the pyro will not be a redundant class in the final battle.

quick example:
A couple of things:
The point itself is already directly accessible by jump classes from the existing platform (the red one in the screenshot).
Adding high ground over that particular area would potentially open up some pretty nasty sightlines.
Mid probably needs a high ground, but I'm going to wait for the a1 test to see how it would be best implemented.

Ah gothca, I think the angle of the shot makes the perspective seem off so it looked like your current two ramps were much smaller then they appeared. Still a little worried about limited access, especially it being a dead straight line across the point, but that'll be toned down in testing.
