A weeks effort, and another attempt at CQB. This time, it's focused on the outside, and not with long avenues or open spaces (Though there are still a couple of open spaces).

There are 5 flags on this map, and the map is slightly favoured towards the Ravens, but it largely depends on who can get to the flags first. Try using shotguns and submachine guns instead of rifles and RPGs. Don't use AOE weapons such as RPGs or something like the Anarchists' Toolpack, if you want a better experience (though they are fun to play with, but you can't move with all the Molotovs being thrown around). Smoke grenades can be used, but I don't recommend it, as you either have a considerable advantage when using them (bots can't shoot in smoke) or a disadvantage (bots can can see and shoot through smoke when outside of the smoke)

I find this map best played with 50 - 160 bots. The area is quite small, as it only comprises about 1/2 to 1/3 of the total area of a small map. The bots use almost all of the alleyways, so you can be surprised on how they sneak up on you. The map has been looked through is there are any other problems with pathfinding; bots not being able to go through the Storage Yard, for example.
