Welcome to Candy Mountain, a place of sweet and sugary goodness for all your cavity needs.

This idea started a long time ago with trying to get a standard gametype idea for KOTH. My idea, which I called "Centerfold", was to have a hill that constantly changes sizes around a central area and only giving points for the time when only your team is in the hill (uncontested) forcing players to alter their strategies on the go but overall pushing the fight towards the center at all times. An attempt to get this gametype to work with a map Ellement made a while ago never actually went through.

After hanging out with sharp he showed us a map that he built a random structure on. Half a hill of multiple levels with ramps leading up the levels. And I thought this would be perfect. I asked him if he would be willing to remake the structure on sandbox in a full circle and he said ok. I went off and did my own thing only to get a msg about 2.5 hours later saying he was almost done with the map. I entered and gave my suggestions and this is what we ended up with after Sharp started 4 hours before that point:

The gameplay on this map is pretty much what I had come up with in the beginning when I thought of "Centerfold".The hill starts covering the center platform at it's smallest size. Over time the hill resizes randomly every 15 secs to cover the next two levels respectively. And it is a fight to keep the hill free of enemies to earn points uncontested. Here are the size of the hills:

The openness and narrowness of the center platform makes it a hard place to stay and forces players to move away from it outwards as the hill size changes making players constantly move from level to level keeping gameplay interesting. Each player carries a shotgun and a magnum w/grenades as their weaponry. They have no shields and 200% dam resist to avoid being killed by a shotgun from a distance. Magnums are a long ranged choice for headshots.

Other than that the map is also built for OVERBOARD! Which also turns out to be quite fun... so have at it folks and enjoy... here are some action shots:

And that's it for today folks... look forward to more maps from your neighborhood AZN and your racing Sharp in the future. Special thanks to EGuitar for the thumnail and the following pic...

To explain overboard, it is a slayer game where sticks are worth 1 point, kills-1, killing sprees loose points, and sticking the leader is +2. You also have grenade regen.
