Changelog from original:

-Size increased by 1.25
-Improvements on the glass at the tank node, so that you can see deco and particles through it
-Better defense for hill-nodes due to increased size of boxes. Same goes for powercore-walls.
-Performance improvements due to following things: More and bigger anti-portals (also fixed some bugs with them); bigger map-size, because objects are more distant and so are more likely to be occluded in the fog now (also made the performance more individual set, as the fog-distance in the settings-menu now affects the fog in the map); decreased spacing-size of the terrain, so more terrain than before may be occluded behind one anti-portal; zone-portals for the tunnels at the center (they also got EAX sound-effects); removed some of the dust-effects on the hill, because that was a true performance-killer
-Rebuild collision at the base by hand, as vehicles would levitate over the ground there; also improved collsion of the antennas at node in Foibos screenshot
-Added jumppads from base over the canyons to get to hill and dam-node easily
-Improvements on jumppads: they are assisted now by a lower gravitation in that area to achieve the necessary width of the jump and to land without getting hurt; jumppads also now all have the jumpplate-grid emitter, that was missing before
-Some adjustments to the weaponlockers at base; also added airstrike on the left base-tower (a jumppad there leads to many good places where you can use it)
-Balanced the amount of vehicles, to prevent the loosing team from pure ownage, meaning that there is only one node on each side, that featrues a tank-spawn, the other 2 tanks and the Paladin are at the base; added more Scorpions and Mantas to base, to have a chance to strike back
-Optical improvements such as material-types and terrain(layer)-improvements.


Plans for the next version until now:
-Make the watertip at the damn more realistic (in any case with sound when going into it, but maybe i'll also replace the StaticMesh with a ProcMesh)
-Correcting the position of the water-emitter at the dam.

Post more improvement-suggestions in this thread.

hmm. it seems that the new map will be more fun. although i dont care about many changes, increasing the manta number is a good thing. i think i dont agree to the increased map size.

make sure that all the weaponlockers have the shockrifle and filled with ammo. the center node should have spidermines.

Plz, lets make a donation to crusha to prey him to stop spamming this map B-)

I noticed the stunt vehicles mod doesn't work for me on this map. Would come in handy climbing those hills.

They don't work because the great Wormbo made a script for me to destroy that mutator right when the map starts.

I thought climbing up the hills with a Hellbender and camp with the laserturrets could be stopped this way.

Now I am considering to remove that blockade again, when I'll add more vehicles.
In any case I want to add the Badgers (the good looking ones) and maybe Raptors.

There is much that can be done on this map, but it's not easy stuff.
