Description:

This map terrain was based off an elevation map {CRF}Icarus sent me.
I built the terrain in a 3D package by tracing out the different
elevations and rendering a height map.  Since I think it's better to
have no distinct terrain advantages for Strategy play, the lower half
of the map is a reverse and flip of the top.  Because of the size, I 
used bmp2hgt instead of TerraZone for creating the .hgt file.

The map is set up for 6 players.  4 in the corners and one due East and
due West.  There are actually 2 more spawn points in the center of the
map for 8 person play, but they would be at a distinct disadvantage
as they would be a central target for all and they only have 2 immediate
geysers.  I left them in though, so if people wanted to, they could 
try the 8 player version.  I'm hoping  spawn points go in order, other
wise if spawn points 5 and 6 get pulled in before 1-4 are full, might
make for unbalanced games.  If that is the case, it should be played
as a 4 person map unless you actually have 6 players.  Will try and
test before this official release, but it's really difficult to get
that many people together to test a map!

There are a few surprises on this map, including many Alien buildings!
Take some time, look around...  explore. The host of the game generiously
donates 2 utility vehicles (scavs) to vehicle-poor pilots that find
themselves far from home.  These should be smoking and respawns, but
alas, the constraints of BZ strick again!
