This document provides original design ideas and changes from the original concept for a King of the Hill map called Koth_Abandoned_Intellege. The map was intended for 16 players total split evenly between two teams. It included symmetrical spawn rooms connected to sniper towers and a multi-level control tower capture point in the center. The final version separated the two sides more and added cover in open areas to change player strategies.
