Its is also a challenging map for 6on6. The River II (the predecessor) has been running on servers with 54 players and was still playable. >>> spawntime ------------------------------------------------ Standard settings are: Allies 15 secs, Axis 20 secs which is slightly favouring Allies. This is a fast map (where u can die fast too). Short spawntimes keep the game tight and ongoing. For matches these spawntimes require good timing on offense but are well playable. Very long spawntimes enable the defending team to set up defense/crossfire too easily. >>> map playtime ------------------------------------------------ This is a very fast map. 15 Minutes is the original playtime of the RtCW map and is still the right time. A good team (or a lucky one) can win the map in less than 3 Minutes. >>> restrictions on weapons ------------------------------------------------ Just the usual maximum on panzerfausts and riflenades will do well. //---------------------------------------------- D - THANKS //---------------------------------------------- my clan for tons of good times playing ET and River Kach--> for mapping with me $taTiK for feedback whenever i needed some Duke for his cool voice ]UBC[ Enyo<>Phaz, ]UBC[BigCockapottamus and ]UBC[ TicTac who gave me my first trashings on TheRiver on 4Netplayers... those were great games. >>> Help with mapping and the whole mess: -------------------------------------------------------- decoy for lots of feedback and 2 textures all the helpful ppl that answered my posts on www.splashdamage.com the folks that run www.level-designer.de and doing that whole lot of fantastic tutorials (keep up the great work!!!) >>> design supervisor ------------------------------------------------ ]UBC[ $taTiK >>> testing the map ------------------------------------------------ M8D DrStock @ www.M8D.org the clans (in no particular order) ]UBC[, M8D, TWR, TFA and all the players who participated in one or more of the numerous playtests keep up the game, you guys are THE GAME //---------------------------------------------- E - COPYRIGHT //---------------------------------------------- Copyright © 2005 Matthias "McNite" Neiss all rights reserved This level may be electronically distributed only at NO CHARGE to the recipient in its current state.

The Allies launch a daring raid to steal the treasure list and escape to a waiting truck. Axis forces located in a guard house and the bunker complex defend the Tram Station and the Castle bunker. this turns Castle Silbereck into a place of furious battle... Map Features: -------------------- Fast and adrenalin-packed 2-stage map with a long document-run. Challenging fighting in various environments: Close quarter combat in tunnels, caves, stairs and a castle/bunker setting as well as mid- and long-range fighting in open terrain. Several access routes to the primary objectives offer tactical variation. Game-layout is offense bias and offers both fast wins in less than 3 mins and successful defense. First stage: Allies have to get a forward spawn by repairing a broken Engine Control Panel. Second stage: Allies capture the Bunker Flag to get a spawn close to the documents. Then they need to steal the documents and take them to the waiting Escape Truck. List of Objectives for Allies: 1st Primary: Repair the Engine Panel which gives the forward spawn in the Tram Station. 2nd Primary: Steal the Treasure List and take it to the Escape Truck. Secondary: Destroy the Tunnel Barrier for a 2nd route to the Tram Station. Secondary: Capture the Bunker Flag for a forward spawn. Secondary: Destroy the Bridge Controls to lower the Bridge. Secondary: Blow up the Front Wall for easy access/ escape to and from the yard. Secondary: Build the Command Post. List of Objectives for Axis: 1st Primary: Defend the Tram Station, don't let Allies repair the Engine Panel. 2nd Primary: Defend the Treasure List. Secondary: Defend or repair the Tunnel Barrier. Secondary: Defend the Bunker Flag or recapture it. Secondary: Defend the Bridge Controls. Secondary: Defend the Front Wall. Secondary: Build the Command Post.
