Description : A Capture The Flag/Defend The Flag map. I made it
for 9v9, but you can play it however you like. 10
team points are given if the offense captures the
flag, and 5 team points are given if the defense
holds the flag for 5 minutes untouched. In case you
were wondering, nyx is the greek goddess of night.

| Credits and Thanks |
\--------------------/

Clan AGT, for letting me play with them for 2 years now. I got input
and support from most of the members on this map, and it helped me to
finish it.

WildBillGates, for playing with me since I started. It's been a blast
playing with you for over 3 years.

Danger, for helping me when I was a wee mapping n00b. He showed me
how to do a lot of stuff, and he must have been annoyed at all the
questions. :)

FryGuy. Sheesh man. He helped me so much in the creation of this map
it's crazy. Especially with the "hold the flag for points" part.

All the people at #tfmapped. They helped me with the little, annoying
bugs that popped up when I didn't know what I was doing. Thanks.

| Changes In This Version |

- Moved the respawn to the other side of the ramp room.

- Changed the elevator in the flag room a bit. Easier to get up now.
- Removed the armor bag from the flag room and put it in the room
with the window in the flag room.
- Made the 2 ammo bags in the window flag room neutral.
- Added health at the secondary entrance rocks.
- Made the entrances to the base and to the ramp room wider.
- Made the hallway for the secondary way into the flag room wider.
