July, 2014 ======== MAP INFO ======== Title: Ironwood Filename: ironwood.pk3 Gametype: CTF Genre: Gothic Capacity: 2v2, 3v3 Bot Support: Yes Author: Pat Howard Email: **email removed** ========== 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.
