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.
This is an updated and slightly improved
version specifically for Quake III Team Arena.
It supports all the new gametypes contined in
Team Arena and they all play very well. FFA is
also good with plenty of spawn points
included.
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.

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

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.

* How to Use *
Simply extract the mkbase-ta.pk3 file and this text file into
your Quake III "missionpack" directory. So for me this would be
"C:\games\quake3\missionpack". Once installed the map will
appear in the Start Server menu but NOT in the Single Player
menu (unforunately I don't think this is possible with Team
Arena).
