koth_pain, an Egyptian theme koth map
Starts out as an inspiration from a Quake 3 map "House of pain" or q3dm2.
After many big changes and playtests, I feel like the map currently is pretty balanced, but I also want to hear some feedbacks from the competitive players, really appreciate.
The a5 version of the map was also participated in Beater's map making contest

B1 - hit beta phase
Direct: https://tf2maps.net/downloads/pain.5747/download?version=13396
Changes:
My dumb-ass just realised that the Cap time was twice normal (24 seconds), and it's been like this since A1, no wonder why players have a hard time trying to retake the point
- Reduce cap time to 12s from 24s
- Make the balcony surfaces buildable
- Remove the danger sign in the danger zone, make the danger tape bigger and add bulletblock brushes
- Art-passing the spawnroom

Don't know if you got my pm or not so here are some things I noticed: https://imgur.com/a/eQ9cT
Perhaps a little trivial, so ill try and get a lobby going for more feedback.

yeah sorry, i didn't see the notification,
here's some mid layout update, hope it works
B4:
Turn the ramp back into a bridge (it provides too much cover and height advantage)
https://i.imgur.com/pSL6CEw.jpg
B5: tech update
+ Cap time reversed to 24s (from 12s):
After a mid fight, with longer cap time, your teammates can take advantage of the fast respawn time (4s) and then regroup with you on point, while the enemy team still busy respawning (8s)
+ Remove the wall cover on this flank route, and make it chokier. Easier to control, enemy can't free pass through
https://i.imgur.com/Mf9DnGp.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/Uc0bG7P.jpg
+ Nerf the water flanks
+ Raise the coffin's platform height, no coffin shield anymore
+ Fix the pillars and broken roof, and other standable highground
