Description : After a sustained spell of playing CTF I
decided to try my hand at a CTF map. I played
it safe with the texture set, Iikka's IKBASEQ3
set is exceptionally easy to use. The looks of
the map aren't spectacular but I think the
layout is particularly nice. It allows for
both lone ranger style attacks as well as more
strategic coordinated ones. There are plenty
of routes in and out of the bases which I
think is a must in CTF.
Obviously CTF and Teamplay are the games to
play in this map but there are plenty of
deathmatch spawn points included so you should
be able to have a decent FFA game too.
Hope you have as much fun playing the map as I
have had making it. Thanks for reading.
Credits : The usual thanks go out to Iikka "Fingers"
Keränen for his excellent IKBASEQ3 textures.
His texture work can be found at:

and his maps can be found at:

Major thanks also go to Mark "Eggman" Pytel
who gave me some great feedback and
suggestions, pretty much all of which I took
on board and added to the map. They make the
piece a lot more visually interesting. You can
find his site at:

Thanks also to Metlslime and GrindSpire who
gave me some last minute feedback which
resulted in a delayed release. Hehehe only
joking; their suggestions were good and I made
some good minor alterations as a result of
them.
