Difficulty: Advanced
Custom Upgrades: Kinda, it's got the Overclocks
Custom Weapons: Nope

Special Thanks go here:
- PDA Expert: Tank PT for the final Tank
- Royal: Titlecard used for the final Tank

The mission will most definitely get way too goofy toward the end

• Map version uploaded to server?: RC1
  
• Gatebot?: No
  
  
• Death Pits?: Yep, also a Reset pit in the middle

• Full list of contributors:
  
  • Sntr: Layout and artpassing
    
  • Various people of Potato.tf: Playtesting and feedback
  
  
• Anything else you'd like to tell us about the map?:
  I'm very much aware that some parts of the map could probably be adjusted to make Tanks less likely to crush players (there's a spot near the RED base that I'm aware of)
  If you also notice things like strange rendering or framerate issues, please comment about them as well!
  Part of the issue with wanting to do a small-town 'city' map is that the roads aren't as big as the ones you'd see on Thames/Humburg/Brugge and I suppose it's also a pretty big caveat of the map itself.
  I've already moved some cars around a bit to make the roads slightly more spacious when combat happens and/or Tanks are barreling across them.

Strike, Pass, or No Strike?: Pass with changes

Team Lineup:

• Sntr (Scout)
  
• Mudun (Engineer)
  
• Perperper (Pyro)
  
• watermelon (Soldier)

• Consider raising starting money to like 700-800?

• Apparently there's some icon stacking happening here, probably with the mainwave/support Blutsaugers?
  
• Boss doesn't do a whole lot other than taunt once and die but that's Intermediate boss general?

• This wave really insists you resist crits or get ready to die a lot because this wave is the most crit-heavy wave on the entire mission with how many different ways can you get hit by them.

• Dunno why exactly does the Liberty giant use that weird looking burst fire icon when it still kinda functions like a regular Giant Burst Fire?
  
• There's the other icon with the weird angled rockets, this wave has three different Burst Fire-ish icons and they all apparently are different things?
  
• When the boss did his phase shift, I actually thought he was just gonna teleport back to base

A couple of other updates to keep up what has happened:

- Blacklisted Demo shoes
- Updated nav mesh
- Adjusted jump height from explosives
- Adjusted spawn rates of Tanks on Round 20 to hopefully have them stall less
- Adjusted clipping to fix a godspot at the roof of the Barn
- Updated .lua to fix death money exploit and Ostarion's effect triggering while Ubercharged
- Adjusted Ostarion functionality a bit to fix a case where the condition was removed too early for the effect to trigger
- Disabled Medic getting ammo from dispensers
- Disabled Romevision
- Removed Tomb Detonators once more
- Added an Uberweapon Upgrade for the Thunder Gun
- Added a little Clientsideprop thing to fully display the mission name
- Added some dummy machines so people don't get trapped by the actual machines when they spawn
- Added a hint regarding Extraloadoutitems unlocking weapons received from the dumpster
- Added updated models for the Special enemies which come with the following changes:
-- Removed L4D2 particle effect calls from the models
-- Added TF2 footstep events

Post-acceptance update:

- Fixed a case where Medic's SMG crashes the server by purchasing an invalid Uberweapon Upgrade
- Changed hit sounds for Crawlers
- Changed Kill Icons for Tank projectiles and Charger melee attacks

Forgot to specify on earlier update:
- Fixed a case where the Medic loses Medigun due to an improperly given weapon

- Adjusted stats for the Black Box
- Raised price of Uber charge rate upgrade
- Spy is no longer playable on the mission
-- He's simply too rigid to try to work into this format and the below change is effectively impossible on him
- Weapons are (hopefully) no longer lost on death
- Replaced Zombie eye glow effect (will revert if whatever causes the issue is resolved)

- Adjusted dumpster rolls once again
- Adjusted ammo on Thunder Gun + Fat Boy
- Removed Steelshin Lager
- The Dumpster Box beam now lasts until it's relocated
- Slowed down Tread's projectile speed
- Added a comeback bonus that drops when you die numerous times
-- The bonus also increases if you keep dying
- Gave Medic the following changes:
-- Lowered Overheal penalty on players to -50%, from -100%
-- Now supplies health/ammo to nearby teammates

Thought about giving Medic a cash bonus for every player that survives a round but not sure how to do that yet or if it's a good idea when Medic now has infinite ammo

Strike, Pass, or No Strike?: No Strike

Team Lineup:

• Sntr (Soldier)
  
• Mikobscura (Spy)
  
• Seelpit (Engineer)
  
• DaMno (Scout/Sniper/Heavy)

• The subwave at the end could probably use one more Giant Soldier so the commons don't feel so lonely.
  
• Consider not having the Soldiers and Pyros have more of a gap in between so you don't get immediately swarmed by around ten bots or so all of a sudden.

• The Large bots on this wave don't feel like they add much beyond just being big meat shields that show up right at the end. Didn't help we had Spy but you never see them again after this wave anyway

• This wave is all Blast aside from the giant cleaver throwing Scouts and the one Sniper who respawns incredibly quickly. Once the Tank spawns and the burst bots start spawning with it, it gets real messy real quick. Could be a team line up issue but it was a lot to deal with.

• The Blimps here are funny, you can safely ignore them since by the time they're close enough to start being a problem, all the Giants are dead so the Support is all that there's left!

Strike, Pass, or No Strike?: No Strike

Team Lineup:

• Sntr (Engineer)
  
• Ruby (Soldier)
  
• Mikobscura (Sniper)
  
• DaMno (Pyro)
  
• Skin King (Scout)

• I feel cheated with the Spellbook option since bots dropped spells so rarely that I got to cast something like 4-5 times for the entire mission. Would be nice to have some spell locations if the bots themselves will drop them so rarely.
  
• Waves 4-6 are pretty rough to play as Pyro with all that's going on combined with Pyro's poor range and Shank's layout not being very friendly for them either.

• Mission feels like it starts getting real aggressive with the spawns after Wave 3.
  
• FJ Engies felt like they did not bring much since they died quick and being only 16 of them didn't give them much time to show off before they got dusted.

• Sticky Demos with Uber Meds, Wave 4 had something like this too right?
  
• Ridiculously high Totalcounts on Support 1 just divides the TotalCurrency between all of them so some of the Support will drop nothing due to $150 being divided to 2222 bots!!
  
• Jetpacks being able to stun you is not cool. Probably could also lower their skill to Normal-Easy as well.
  
• The homing pipes are weird how they sometimes just freeze in the air and stay there?
