Extended description    : This one-on-one map plays fast. I prefer it with 2-3 bots, as one-on-one is a bit slow for my 
                          taste.

Author's Notes          : This Unreal map, my second one so far, got its name from the shape I used in the 2d editor for the
                          main structure, which I did a rotation loft on to get the circular layout. Then it was a matter of
                          criss-crossing with halls & ramps. Also, I happened to be coughing a lot, due to a cold, while 
                          making this map. Heheh since I haven't yet learned how to make lifts, I just used ramps instead.

                          My maps are all designed around the strict rule of flow & connectivity. Play must be fast & fluid,
                          & frags must be fast.

                          I learned a lot about bot pathing from reading Rander's tutorial & from trial & error. At first, I 
                          wanted no health items in the map, to further facilitate the fast fragging pace I enjoy. Also, I 
                          had no ammo, as I felt that one would be fragged before running out of ammo, or could grab a 
                          dropped weapon for ammo. However, the bots camped big time, so I added ammo. The bots would walk a 
                          little further until they had sufficient ammo, then camped. Finally, I added bandages & nali fruit 
                          bushes. Viola! The bots began to roam like I wanted them to. Moral: Nodes are not enough. You need
                          to motivate the bot by dangling carrots in front of it. They need a balanced diet of weapons, 
                          health, & ammo, or they will camp. Nodes show them the way--but the items lure them.
