Description             : This Special Edition has been released for the Online Gaming 
			  League (HTTP://www.ogl.org/).  It includes some 'cheat fixes' 
			  and some very minor alterations -- exterior lighting, minor 
			  texture fixes, some additional brushes to make the canyons look 
			  a little less uniform.

			  In an attempt recreate the brutal battles of mediaevil Earth 
			  history, the Liandri Organisation acquired the rights to hold a 
			  Capture The Flag tournament in the rugged highlands of Scotland. 
			  Deep canyons, waterways, caves and open plateaus separate the 
			  bases, making Conquest a challenge for even the best teams.

Author's Notes
--------------
CTF-Conquest was born out of the impression I had that there weren't many CTF maps
set in an outdoors environment.  At the same time, I wanted to create a map that promoted
team-based strategy. It strikes me that CTF maps that include a tight the playing space 
the player can attack the opposing base and succeed as an individual. Whereas more open 
maps require a squad approach to win by virtue of the fact that a player needs backup to 
cross open areas.  Hence CTF-Conquest is largely an outdoors map, where to breach the 
opposition's castle successfully, you will need someone to 'cover' you.

There are multiple paths between bases, and two entrances into each castle. Both teams will 
need to consider the placement their defending players carefully in order to protect their
flag effectively.  

While the outdoors environment will be the scene of open battle, the interior of both
castles makes for tight, frantic battle. (The intention was to create a considerable 
contrast between the outdoors and indoors environments.) 

Start getting that team together, define some roles and see if you can Capture The Flag.

In case you are wondering, I manipulated about 98% of the vertices to make this map!
Most of the outdoor environment is made with cylinders (with a range of number of sides).
For the sloped ground, 3 sided cylinders were used so that the top face could be 
manipulated to form angled surfaces without fear of holes appearing due to the face 
becoming twisted.
