• Poor lighting on the middle area due to the lack of lights where the natural environment light is blocked
  
• Insufficient ammo packs on the hatch area
  
• The wheel of fate - gate mechanic seems very underwhelming; A gate capture just inflicts a random temporary negative effect on red and... that's it? Mind you, gates are pretty hard to capture when they are well defended.
  
• Gatebot behavior does not reset upon wave completion

This map will be automatically rejected in one week if there are no further updates and a mission for it does not materialize.

I would like to add some feedback after my first time testing the map out with a mission.

Overall for an early alpha map, it looked and played fairly well. The detailing (in the few areas that are fully detailed) are aesthetically good. The layout in the little time that I tested it also seemed to play fairly well. Nothing stuck out too much as awful.
I wasn't able to witness what happens when the control point in the map is capped, as it never occured during the test I was in, so I'm unable to comment on it.

There's a few issues outside of that, as expected for an alpha map.

Issues:

- There were lots of unintentional flanking bots during the waves. It's an easy fix to make all bots follow the bomb path (change the tags in the nav_avoid entities to include "common").

- Bots for some reason get spawnroom invincibility from the spawn by the orange dev texture gate. This should be fixed as it's confusing for defenders, to have the bots invulnerable and unable to shoot for seemingly no reason, despite visually being outside the spawn.

- Bots (mainly on the top spawn) like to take shortcuts down to the bottom, taking fall damage and often appearing to come out of nowhere. The nav should have as few direct connections from the top to the bottom (especially around staircases or slopes) so bots don't try to kill themselves while going down. (Note that you don't have to remove every single connection, just ones that enable the most bots to create shortcuts out of them.)

Map Feedback

The layout of the map is simple yet intuitive, it is a well made map. Sightlines are good and there is plenty of cover to take, and space to maneuver. There are few issues when it comes to certain gimmicks such as the gate capture effects and the pumpkin bomb placements.

At the front of the map there is a seam where you can see the void. https://i.imgur.com/It3UoEy.jpeg

The bleed effect has to go. It has no place among the other capture spells where bleed just straight up kills you if you don't have a reliable source of healing. The other spells are fine.

These pumpkin bombs are badly placed, if your objective was to screw over red team with the placement, it does exactly that. There are several spots that could be used to take cover but are invalidated when a bomb is spawned there. Bots typically take corners tightly when they navigate around the map and since these bombs are placed far away from the inside of the map, it is rare that they can be used offensively to kill robots. Please relocate them to spots where they can be more beneficial to red or remove them.

Past the second half of the map, robots tend to stray off the bomb path especially when the bomb is close to hatch, make use of nav_avoids as robots will flank and deploy the bomb on unsuspecting players. The nav_avoids should have the tags "bomb_carrier" and "common" to avoid flanking. Alternatively you can also make use of the "flanker" tag to designate certain routes where you want flanks

The art pass is great and visually appealing, please have it finished by the beginning of October.

All submissions at this point now have 5 Days to be accepted. If this map is not passed by September 30th, it will be automatically rejected.
