Amalgam
Inspired By: Exacted and Troika

Definition:

a·mal·gam [uh-mal-guhm]
1. an alloy of mercury with another metal (usually silver) used by dentists to fill cavities in teeth; except for iron and platinum all metals dissolve in mercury and chemists refer to the resulting mercury mixtures as amalgams
2. a combination or blend of diverse things; "his theory is an amalgam of earlier ideas"

Description:

This map is an amalgamation of two maps - Exacted and Troika. I tried to make the map layout and gameplay more closely resemble Exacted. So I cut out all the walls, and secret passages of Troika. The result is a more open map, and better competitive gameplay.

I combined aspects that I liked best from both maps, and even added some completely new aspects to help blend two very different maps together. So the result is something remniscient of two older maps, but completely different from either one.

On the Troika half, I fixed the ladder so that it is now automatic; no more going up and down endlessly. I added the pillar to the loft, to break up lines of sight and travel, and give the loft a more 'structurally sound' look.
The fishtank has also received an aesthetic upgrade.

On the Exacted half, I added the top half section to Open Base. I also added a ramp on the back end of the Curved Platform. There are some fusion coils back here to make hiding back here much less safe.

Well, that's about it. I'll be creating a blog entry for this map to go into detail with some of the specifics, so I'll just edit that in here later.
I'd like to thank you in advance for downloading the map, and hope you have fun in Round 8 of the FH 2v2 Tournament. Do enjoy! :D
