ML_Chapel
---------

France during the second world war.
German troops have discovered a hidden treasure inside of an old
french chapel. Planning on securing the gold and sending it back to the
Fuhrer, the axis have put up a camp inside of the building.
An allied bataillon managed to intercept a radio transmisson concerning
the gold, and quickly the plan to take the gold for themselves arises.
Infiltrating the chapel through a small sewer entrance they seek to
quitely take the gold and be gone without any notice, but they are
discovered and a fierce battle begins.

Objectives :
------------
The allies have to reach the first floor, open the casket by pushing
the lid aside from the back and take the two gold crates to the sewer
exit.
The axis will do everything to prevent this.

Stuff :
-------
The time limit is 10 minutes, though that's much too high considering
those easy objectives. It should be pretty hard for the axis to
defend the gold for that time having pretty even teams. The map is
designed for stopwatch play, so if you can, go for this :)

Known issues :
--------------
Since I decided to enter the contest pretty late there was not much
time to do big planning, so the architecture is quite weird at some
places. Excuse this pls. :) Also, I didn't plan out gameplay very
thoroughly, so there are some parts which don't really play as good
as they could.
I had initially planned to do much more with this map, i.e. make it
a decayed unused chapel with holes in the roof, rain dropping down,
destroyed columns and all that stuff, but the tight timeframe simply
didn't allow for this, so the non-destroyed version'll have to do :)
Cheers :)

Update :
This is an updated version of the map, replacing all static torchlights
with styled flickering ones.
