================================================================
PLAY INFORMATION:

This is a straight forward Capture the Flag map built in the style of Quake CTF.
It is NOT in the style of typical Team Fortress CTF, you must have your own flag
in the base in order to capture. The capture point and the flag station are one
in the same.

Score 5 team points for a successful capture and 1 team point for a flag return.

All of the doors are One Way doors. Some into the base, and some out of the base.
Although the doors in your base will not restrict you. Read the signs if you are
confused. All of the backpacks and armor packs are team only. You must get your
ammo and armor from the respawn rooms in your own base. But do not take the enemy
flag into your spawn rooms! The only healing on the map (besides a trusty medic)
is by swimming in the pool of Holy Water. Don't touch the Power Columns.

This map features what I call the "Water-Vator" instead of an elevator.
