So... how do you play?

If this map is what I think it is, I'm psyched as hell to play it. But the description gives little indication as to how the game works, or how to play it.

@ShockBolt21 The description is sufficient to understand the game. It's a turn-based game where players get a certain amount of time to move and kill. When all players are eliminated on a given team, the game is over. Play it, you'll understand soon enough.

How does that work?

How does that work?

At the start of the match, players are given armor abilities (physical placed objects that they absorb). These objects are ordered for KOTH circulation, so a member of each team "gains the hill" on every other movement. Gaining the hill gives them their turn. If a player dies, the hill still rotates to the spot where they died (making the game somewhat slow approaching the end). Unlike normal KOTH, the duration captured doesn't matter - with a maximum of 30 minutes of play time, eliminating the enemy team is likely.

Wow... this Drago dude's a genius. Looking forward to playing this one.
