Glossina Rising is my first map. I wanted the map to "feel" open, interesting and dynamic. The map is very large and the spread out bases require teamplay.

Two FF gens in the large tower protect the switch. Two generators in the main base power the fields at the tower. among other things. While there IS a back entrance into the FF tower, I expect a half awake defense to put up a fight, which then requires a coordinated assault simultaneously on both bases (that's the whole point). The small, hanging switch is raised high in the mountains above the main base. Meanwhile, the whole map is littered with tiny, rising, perch towers. I sought to develop a nice overall environment and aesthetic experience.

The map should not be too easy and is NOT designed for anything less than true team effort, and I do realize that not all players are looking for that (the bang bang bang folks). Both sides must work as a team. So, this is server-side map is designed for the folks who truly love siege for the pure team gametype that it is.

I should also add that I expect a second "deluxe" version of this in the coming weeks, integrating teleporters and a fully functional neutral base. So constructive feedback is welcome (although I will NOT move the bases closer together). Teleporters will interconnect a number of these rising towers in the mountains. Ideally, the neutral base will become more robust, and toggle control of the teleporter-net and the sensors. Much thanks go to the Siege Map Developers group, and the folks who played various versions and gave great feedback. ENJOY!
