================================================================
Other Stuff you Should know
================================================================
This map = big. You may say "Oh it takes too long to get to the enemy base!" Who said you had to get to enemy base in x seconds? There is no rule for big maps. Most classes can get to the other base in less than 30 seconds. You might think this is a disadvantage for the Offense, but if the Offense attacks in good groups, taking advantage of the secondary entrances, they can easily defeat the defense.
Elevators in Flag Room are team specific.
R_speeds Do get High. If you use an older computer which barely runs HL, this map might not run great. R-speeds aren't too terribly bad for people's Advanced Computers nowadays, but, they still get on the high side. The highest spike is 800 wpolys (only if you stand a certain way in a certain spot) The average is 400-500 wpolys. The Highest it usually ever gets is 500. In a recent survey done by valve, it seemed the majority of people had decent comps, so it should be okay. Plus, there are other popular maps which get on the high side. (avanti comes to mind)
If you are even remotely thinking about putting this map into a league be sure to contact me. [email protected]
DO NOT ENTER ENEMY RESPAWNS! Well, you can, if you want the enemy team to get a good laugh.
There is a detpackable wall that leads to the basement, you'll know it once you come across it.
The generator room will contain radiation that will hurt the enemy team if they enter when the generator is on.
================================================================
Known Bugs
================================================================
Seems that people running software may have crashes. If you have any information regarding to why it does this, please contact me. I think I might've eliminated it.
Sometimes, Elevator triggers can go screwy. Just hang on, it will
come back. Try moving back over the area that is the trigger if it gets "stuck."
Not really much of a bug, but you can jump on top of the battlement area.
