It looks cool, but why would a lighthouse be underground? I thought the purpose for it is to help assist sailors and pilots for navigation by locating at shoreside points. The layout seems interesting but the lighthouse just seems so out of place, well at least to me. P.S the high blue player spawn is way too high. If there's an EFC and you spawn there, you just got screwed over basically. Come to think of it, both top spawns are outliers to the other spawns. You should keep spawns relatively the same distance from the enemy flag.

But none wouldn't use the top route, if there weren't be spawns at the top :(
I dunno about the 'lighthouse' it at least looks cool.

it used to be an underground river, which has dried out because of... soil erosion due to constant warfare and abuse of natural resources... Something like that.

Why would anyone ever use any route besides the central one?

Don't answer my rhetorical question unless you are a degenerate and did not understand what I meant by it.

After a few changes I see great idea here:
- Delete the top spawns
- No opening through bridge from center to top
- Enlarge the area spawn to spawn
- More spacious, less awkward flag place

The ending would be fast hectic center battle and then top route only for escaping, with option that teams could kill the enemy flagger through center bridge. Fun and unique, could be.

Yea if you do what Suo does, I would suggest to make the opening from the top curve inward rather than outward for a faster escape. Definitely separate the spawns, they are way too close.

Something like that were actually my thoughts when I saw TrefluU's first sketch :)
Yeah, your suggestions are right.

Nice visuals. Good scenery, shadow and coloring. I like scenerys the most.
Make some ceil that makes players have to go near the bridge.
And maybe (just maybe) bonuses would accumulate in the lower route if you removed the top ones.
