BACKGROUND
==========
My first map in five years. Here's to many more! This map started out
as a creation for the Maverick Servers Summer 2012 Competition, but
it ended up taking a lot more time to finish than the allotted ten
weeks! At the ripe old age of two years, it's finished in time for
summer 2014.
The gameplay goal was to create a small CTF layout for my three quake
buddies and me to enjoy. I tried to strike a balance between
simplicity and replay value, and I think the map turned to be a lot
of fun for 2v2 games.
The theme is a medieval castle in the mountains in early spring.
Colorful stained glass windows provide team indicators as well as
a refreshing break from the subdued stone, wood, and iron materials.
The surrounding peaks are capped year round with snow, but the sun
is out, it's getting warmer and the birds are chirping!
Note: If you're playing with bots, they won't be able to see you
through the fenced windows. Play fair :)
I'd love to know what you think of the map. Please send questions/
comments/constructive criticisms etc. to the email address given above.
