Description
INTRO
Zealous Earth traditionalists named after the mythological Eagles and Ravens are warring over their incompatibilities in philosophy. The denizens of the two large moons of Ter'akwa have chosen to sponsor each faction for their own devious plots against each other.
You are not the first to try and settle, to try to find out the mysteries of this planet. Many have come before you, but only the seemingly invulnerable observers remain.
The Urchins of the blue moon and the Mites of the red moon are the ones observing you. Take either side in this battle. As a pawn in a greater, more ancient conflict.

Fight in the ancient ruins of those that came long ago, fight by the infrastructure set up by those that came just before and fight in an alien jungle populated by tall, sturdy, giant lily pads and other alien organisms.
Commit amphibious assaults on your enemy, drive your APC straight into the enemy base or enjoy the view as you climb up a massive rock or jump around the forest.

BIOLOGY
Due to the gravitational pull of several large bodies, planet Ter'Akwa may find itself in a 5 year long drought, or a 10 year long period of extreme rain with anything in between.
The planet suffers from hard-to-predict weather patterns. This causes the phototropic organisms to select towards succulense (absorbing a maximum amount of water). All phototropic organisms on this planet that survived follows this principle.
Most phototrophic organisms of this planet follow a male-female system. A researcher may not realise a difference, but some may be inferred through observation. E.g. the "trees" are a female gamete, while the large purple "flowers" are the male gamete of the same species. The purple "flowers" will mature into seeds with some control over flight path, the purpose of the red area of the "tree" is to guide the seeds of the male gamete. A parasite species exists that mimic the red area to gain the nutrients of the fallen "seeds"

The "lily pads" consist of one large organism with a vast root network, spanning up to 20-30 square kilometers. When in extreme conditions the organism will use each "pad" as a source of nutrient, phototropism and water until conditions degrades it completely.

THE OTHERS
The exoskeleton of the Mites are elastic and will not succumb to cracking, unlike arthropods found on mythological Earth. The elasticity of their body coupled with their various gasueos outputs make them capable of unaided relative short range space travel

The Urchins consist of a vast network of folds. The organism may seem relatively small but have the capability to fold itself and its organs into any shape large enough to contain it. The large red sensory organ is the one most commonly seen. It is said to have large reproductory organs likened to the gonads of an Earth starfish only visible during certain unknown reproductory cycles.



TECHNICAL STUFF
I encourage you to play this any way you want. But here are some pointers:
~60-80 bots
Teams seem balanced, pick any side (eagle may be slightly favoured, it's hard to tell from my testing)
Any mods
Any respawn time
Vehicles: Boat, Attack boat, ATV, APC

Tested with no mods, made in the in-game map editor (no mods)
Known issues: APCs are sometimes janky, I've mitigated this as much as I could without compromising the map too much. They should work fine a vast majority of the time.

Do you want me to change anything with the map or have other requests?
Please comment any feedback down below, it is very much appreciated!

I believe the previous researchers built a "slide" of sorts to use gravity to saturate the water with oxygen before reaching the water below.
