Description	Capture the flag in a visually stunning fantasy universe environment.
Design	A strong environmental goal with realistic terrain and plenty of atmosphere. The main design goal for this map was to create a fantasy RPG style of visuals.

Notes	- Due to the very high amount of detail a high-end computer is recommended. - All Unreal Tournament ('99) and Unreal II content in this map was converted by me. - The angel mesh is from CTF-FaceClassic, modified by me. - The music is from Unreal II. - Four software applications were used in the creation of this terrain including custom in-house developed software. - Low end PCs should turn off the Foliage option (terrain deco layers) and set their World Detail level to Normal or Low, for an increase in game framerate. - For extra game fun, be sure to try the following mutators with this map: LowGravity. - Server admins may remove the screenshots and music file from the zip for a smaller server-push map file. Map Specifics: - 2 Flags (of course). - Weapon loadout: Assault, Bio, Flack, Link, Mini, Grenade, Shock, Rocket, Sniper.   Plus two extra ammo packs located near each weapon. - Health, Shield, SuperHealth and SuperShield are available on the map. - The Double-Damage is on the map. - Custom SuperAdrenaline and MegaAdrenaline are on the map. - Redeemer is on the map. - Plus as always a few easter eggs.
Bugs	None. The custom scripted fish and birds creatures do not have collision or check for colliding with world objects for performance reasons.  So at times you may see a fish pass through a stone etc. Note that the main lake is an xProcMesh and not a FluidSurfaceInfo. This was chosen for two reasons: the xProcMesh is almost one quarter the number of triangles resulting in an 8% improvement in framerate, plus it fixes the usual FluidSurfaceInfo stone deco z-draw errors. The downside to the xProcMesh is that it does not support player or projectile waves.
Requirements	Unreal Tournament 2004 and the Epic ECE 1.1 free Bonus Pack
