Beta 21 of Exile. I really wasn't planning to release another beta so soon, but there were some pretty significant issues impacting playability in the previous beta.

Welcome to Exile - a relatively small CTF map featuring a visual style I've wanted to try for a long time but never got around to. Hope you enjoy! I appreciate any and all feedback you wish to provide.

Exile's layout is (very) loosely inspired by CTF - Flag This Way, a map designed by Alex Kilmpasanis for Unreal Tournament.

This map is still under construction and this version should not be considered final. This beta is uploaded so it can get some playtesting to determine if changes are necessary.

Notable changes from Beta 19:
- Added additional upper route on left side of base, complete with wooden platform and ladder
- Added invisible ramps to flag stand
- Resolved team color mismatch in blue HMG area
- Added rocks and plants to grass area in mid
- Moved armor to new upper route away from left side tunnel
- Moved health kit from behind wooden wall to new upper route
- Added Remote Charges to left side of base under new wooden platform
- Removed some crates
- Added invisible walls to stop players via headjump or ladder glitch from escaping map
- Further optimized map by adding some extra portals and making backfaces invisible
- Replaced old carpet textures for new theme-appropriate versions
- Expanded invisible ramp behind flag

My only critique is a lot of the textures weren't uv mapped to match between faces leaving a lot of hard seams. Although that's something you only really notice when exploring solo and not in the middle of a game.

Gave me some Legend of Zelda/Spyro the dragon vibes. The texture palette is very nice as well. Very colorful and vibrant.. Especially the water color stone textures and stained glass windows. I really enjoyed the layout as well. A few really quick paths to the flag and plenty of areas to flank/defend. Overall great job with this beta! Would love to play a match on this!
