Blue/Red Team: Take the enemy flag from
its base and capture it at Yellow's capture
point. 10 points per capture.

Yellow Team: Guard your capture point! If
you do get either enemy flag, you must take
it to the other team's cap point. Red flag
to Blue base and vice versa. 5 points per
capture.

Dropped flags return after 90 seconds.

Every team has a water entrance and a
detpackable grate.

* LEVEL DESCRIPTION *
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Map Objectives:
This is a 3-team map. Blue and Red must take each
other's flags to Yellow's base, similar to "Yellow
Guards". Unlike that map, though, Yellow can also
capture. If they take either enemy flag to the
OTHER enemy team's capture point (blue's flag to
red's cap point, and vice versa) they can score.
The thinking behind this is to reduce Yellow's
tendancy to attack either enemy team's base, since
they'd have to carry the flag a LONG way. Yellow
also cannot play Scout or Spy, to encourage them
even more to be mainly defense.

If all that sounded confusing, don't worry.
In-game, when you pick up a flag a text message
appears telling you where to take whatever flag
you got. If you still take the flag to the wrong
capture point, you will be told where to take it
again.

Of course the map can also be played as a straight
up CTF if no one is on the Yellow team. In all
other cases however, TEAMS SHOULD BE PERFECTLY
EVEN. What I mean is that Yellow should have the
same number of players that Blue and Red have. The
map's scoring is balanced for this case only.

Scoring:

- Blue Team scores 10 points every time they
capture the Red flag.

- Red Team uses the same scoring as Blue.

- Yellow Team scores 5 points per capture, since
they (in theory) have twice the potential to
cap.

* SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS / ADDITIONAL INFORMATION *
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Func_nobuild brushes are used liberally. You
absolutely cannot build in the respawns, and
the water tunnels are also off limits for SGs.
I'm not anti-engy; in fact, I usually play engy.
It's just that the tunnels are fairly small,
and because grenades won't fly far in water it'd
be damn near impossible to destroy an SG in
there.

- You can't build on anything you can see through.
This means grates mainly. This is a problem with
TFC, not my mapping. You can't build on
func_walls.

- All railings and ladders can be shot through,
but not gratings.

- This is a BIG map. Even though dropped flags
stay on the ground longer than most maps (90
seconds), your offensive runs should try to be
successful the first time, as it takes a while
for slower classes to make it across the map.
This is done to encourage teamplay rather than
one scout slowly prying the flag out of the
defense's hands by getting it a foot farther
out of the base each run.

- There are packs in each of the "sniper towers",
in each flag room, and on Yellow's battlements
that supply some health, ammo, and armor to ANY
team. They also supply one of each type of
grenade.

- You spawn fully stocked. Yup, even for grenades.
The packs in the respawns are instant resupply,
meaning you only need one to get restocked.

- Yellow team members should not try to carry 2
flags at once. Normally I'd make it so that you
just couldn't pick up the flag at all if you
were already carrying one, but a "feature" of
TFC's code won't let me do this AND let 2 teams
pick up a flag. So instead picking up a second
flag returns the first one you had to its base.

- When playing on the yellow team, remember that
the first line of the "flaginfo" display refers
to the Blue flag, and the second line to the Red
flag.
