"I can do all this through him who gives me strength."

Small update with some optimisations and fixes uncovered over the last month.

koth_govan_a15 update

General

• Removed light props across the map that were no longer needed

Mid

• Added func_nobuild on top of the roofs around point

Staging Area

• Added func_nobuild on top of the pipe
  
• Fixed missing patches at health and ammo in shithouse
  
• Fixed missing stair at the stairs to concrete

Spawn

• Fixed misaligned displacement
  
• Fixed door clipping into the wall above it
  
• Added clipping to the pathway at the left exit from spawn
  
• Opened up the path leaving the left exit to allow better rollouts

Truth is that it is very difficult to make a new 5cp map for competitive.

Main reason for this

• It is not difficult to make a good 5cp layout

• It is difficult to make a good 5cp layout that has not already been done

May have forgotten to post a13 & a14 so both are in the same message here.
This (a14) is likely the last version to be posted until after the next 6v6 season (Spring 2024/Season 47). Reason for this is to give admins a stable version, if they would like to include it in preseason cup, and so I can focus on other things while collecting as much data as possible on a14.

Hello! As the title suggests we are currently working on a mixing group to test out custom maps in a competitive environment.

If you are interested in mapping for competitive or have done so in the past please send me a message on one of the contact options at the bottom.

General Information
What region will you be playing in?

• Currently we will only be doing eu playtests and this is unlikely to change. However, that doesn't mean you can't have your map tested if you aren't from Europe.

How often will you be playing mixes?

• Mixes will be played once a week however this is due to change if popularity increases. The reason for the low frequency is to ensure that we maintain interest in our project and focus on consistent map tests rather than have the group die after a few weeks.

Are you just testing for 6v6 or will highlander be played also?

• Our mixes will also only be playing 6v6 at the moment. This is due to the near impossibility of getting 18 players that are willing to map test consistently.

I've never played competitive before, would I be able to play?

• Sure you can, players of all skill levels are welcome. We have also taken steps to ensure balanced mixes such as higher division players being encouraged to off class from their main.

Are you only playing alpha maps or are release candidates also an option?

• We will be playing any maps in early development or that are ready for release but aren't quite getting into league map pools yet.

People suggested I post a tftv thread on this map so here we are.

Originally I started work on this in May 2020 but it took me until last June to actually release a public version. Hopefully the hard work has paid off.
While some of these changes may go too far, I believe foundry is a good map and can become competitively viable given the right changes are made. I believe this is a time for experimentation so I am willing to test unique ideas in this environment.

Thanks to:
b4nny - His competitive analysis on foundry was a basis for some of the original ideas.
Gatsan - Extensive interest in the project and willingness to support the map.
TF2Maps - Playtesting the map in 6v6 mode.
Zoomer Mixes - Playtesting the map in 6v6 mode.
Hutty - Custom container prop.

Any based feedback is appreciated, feel free to go off on issues if you feel its needed :)
If anyone finds a rollout I would appreciate a video, we have found some but I'm sure others can do better than us.
