This map is an overhaul of the original Warbell map from ET created by McNite.
As part of the ET: Legacy asset creation effort certain maps are being overhauled.
Those maps have been selected for their stable gameplay, even in a competitive environment.
-----Changelog-----
to original:
• Changed secret room dynamite objective in the Guardhouse to a generator dynamite objective that reveals a passage to the room behind.
• Guardhouse doors now open after generator is destroyed not after the lower gate is destroyed.
-> Flag secure is still tied to the lower gate.
• Added Voice Operator announcements.
• Extended sacrifice lightning to outside of the church roof for a near-global status indicator.
• Cleaned and stream-lined the entire playable area for faster and smoother movement.

• Implemented a teleport death sequence for jumping off the cliff and sacrificing oneself for more ambience. Thank you Firefly for indirect inspiration and resources.
• Fixed river having dark edges when extending above the river bank.
• Changed Heinrich's voice lines from voice operator to localised speaker broadcasting in the castle church. Thank you Aciz for reporting.

• Added more ambient sounds for a more immersive atmosphere. Thank you u!ps and Dmxj for reporting.

• Fixed planting landmines not possible on grass patches inside the castle. Thank you Rohambili for reporting.
// OPTIONAL MAP-SCRIPT SETTINGS
• Added optional health and ammo cabinets to the Axis CP. Enabled by default. Thank you c0rnn for reporting.
• Added optional rope constructible to access the church roof from below. Intended to provide an alternative to Exagone's report for double-jump access to that roof.
• Added optional blocking of the room next to the bell mechanism to prevent the defenders from setting up tents and roasting marshmallows. Thank you c0rnn for reporting.
• Added optional sacrifice mechanism where Axis need to 'steal' Heinrich's armor pieces from the castle church along with a sacrificial dagger. Only a player holding those items can sacrifice themselves. This is intended to make defending a bit easier as firepower can be focussed on one player rather than 10 yeeting themselves into the light at once. Thank you u!ps for reporting.
