History:
I haven't even played TFC in months but this map idea had been tickling me for years and I finally got around to it.
The original idea was to have your base, an enemy base, an allied base, and a neutral base. While efforts were to
attack your enemy base, I wanted to give a small reward if anyone decided to help their allie. But of course
I had to take into consideration that morons would just go out there and kill everything they saw... which is fine...
if you're a moron. I considered making it impossible for Blue and Green allies to harm eachother but then I realized
this would cause an over-whelming alliance and slaughter if Red and Yellow weren't ready for an enemy with teamwork.
Also by leaving the "open fire" rule into effect with the four teams, you could even just play with three teams if
the 3rd team cared nothing about caps and just wanted to kill everyone else. I had also considered making every flag capturable
so that you could even backstab your allie for a few miniscul points, but I decided to abandon this idea due to chaos theory.

The map theme is very basic. I've used similar architecture on many other maps. The sniper tower, the det in the flagroom, and the
skylight were all after thoughts as well as the catwalks in the mainroom. Every map is a progression though which changes as its built.
Very few maps are design to completion before the pen hits the paper.
