Capture the Flag Volcanic Clear Bots Client Side

After 2 weeks and about a 100 hours of work, mostly on Bot AI, I give you Jericho Island. The terrain consists of a series of Islands surrounded by lava. There are brides that connect the 2 main bases to a large central Island which is the only place you can deploy a Jericho on the map.

There are no inventory stations, but there are several packs, ammo, weapons, and repair kits in each tower of the base. In order to set up defenses or switch armors, you must set up a Jericho on the central Island.

There are many routes to the enemy base such as a path under the bridges and a series of small Islands that lights can jet to. I also included Transports for surprise attacks so the enemy can come from any direction.

What makes this map special is my specialized bot AI. Bots hang back to defend the base with sniper rifles and guard all the best escape routes. Only the truly skilled will be able to cap against these bots solo. The screen shots show my bots tagging me with their rifles. That last shot being the most painful :P

"brides connect the islands"? hehe, what do they connect them with, their white gowns? (j/k, i know ya misspelled bridges. my sp sucks tonight too) sounds neat. one question: isn't one team going to have a massive advantage? on the center island if both teams put jerichos up won't they both shoot at each other? juggies are gonna have their hands full with this one if they need to destroy the enemy jericho (assuming there are any juggies for that team...) hehe, Bytor's gonna love this one too, massive ammounts of lava to take a loooong hot bath in... :D

I was hoping no one would notice that :P Underneath each bridge is a satchel pack. 2 scouts can very easily destroy a deployed Jericho if proper team work is implemented. However it is true that one team can eventually totally dominate the other if they get there Jericho up and well defended. Thats why I made sure there were plenty of energy packs and sniper rifles abound.

Don't worry about that. I take my time. Almost too much time. I was gonna delay this map till AutoDL was ready since this map has custom terrain. But seeing as how there was a flood of crappy maps, I just had to break the chain. :)
