Map Description:

The first idea when I started forging this map, was to build 2 ships on the water. With mancannons to jump from one to the other and explosives beside them, to use them realy as cannons to attack each other ship... But unfor(ge)tunatly the budget and part limit was too low to forge them as I intended to.
So I decided to build just one ship and use it as a 4v4 map.
But because of the killing zones (Dear 343 why aren't there at least deletable killing zones at the edges of your forge maps?!) I wasn't able to build it on the water! Then I thought ok... it's time to improvise, so I just invented this hybrid anti gravity water ship "The Flying Dutchie".

At the end of the building process I realised that with the quick hide and counter attack gameplay on this map, there would be no chance for Banshees to be overpowered. So 2 Banshees became part of the map... But they spawn only in the "slayer" gamemode, because with the"king of the hill" they just wouldn't work well...

I already tested this map with many random people and friends. The fast paced gameplay on it, mixed whith explosive or sneaky tactics is what makes it realy outstanding... =)

For the rest I'll just let the youtube videos speak...

Thanks for all constructive critics, youtube video likes and comments!
