1f:T794,

I was playing a Big Team Slayer match on Spire and, well behind, I was spawned way out at the river, despite all the action taking place around the Spire. As I was alone in this scenery, I got to thinking "This would be a great sub-map of Spire for CTF!"

So, I created Inspired. (In... Spire... Get it?)

INSPIRED

Inspired is a Slayer/CTF map set on the river of Spire. In fact, the river leads you from one flag directly to the other. The rest of the map is expansive, reaching all the way back to "middle road" (it covers generally the same area as Phase 1 in Invasion: Spire).

Rather than make it a one-flag CTF map where we're forced to cover the same paths from Invasion, the flow of the game follows the river.

Map Overview:

Red Team spawns with their backs to the waterfall:

Blue Team spawns with their backs to the cliff. Be careful Blues!:

Red Flag rests on a rock at the base of the waterfall:

Blue Flag rests here, at the cliffside:

There is limited Forge-ability in Spire, so this was about the most interesting structure I could build to break up some long sight lines:

There are two low-shot mancannons, one near each base that propels players up the river. These send you in a low line along the river, so there is no risk of fall damage:
