Map Name

Skycastle Islands

Gamemode & Map Description

24v24 A/D Payload with 2 checkpoints (3 payloads). The map is played on a field of many different interconnected islands in a somewhat linear layout. The attackers will fight the defenders to get the payload to each checkpoint, at which the spawn points will shuffle. Games should take a maximum of 35 minutes depending on how far the attackers get. The map also includes a 15 minute "Rush Rage" version that can be played during map parties (like Funky Friday).

A couple notes:

1. Please remove the spaces between the XML elements for legibility purposes
2. Maybe invisibility for attackers at initial spawn would work well here, similar to what is done on Bridge maps in the spawn cage.
