GAMEPLAY :
8 players, 4vs4, players 1-4 vs players 5-8

DESCRIPTION :
The Battle takes place in and infront of an imperial fortress which is under siege.
Players 1-4 start in the fortress but not close together.
Player 1 starts on the last section and will have to support player 3 or 4 who start at the steps between the first an the second section.
Player 2 should support them too but should also protect the launching pad and the cathedral from storm troops.
Players 5-8 start infront of the fortress in entrenched positions.
Players 5 and 8 have easy access to relics at the beginning.

This is my first map and i didn't focus much on balance but on athmosphere :D
I like those situations in movies when the last defenders of a fortress fight bravely against an attacking force which outnumbers them,
so i decided to make a fortress map for DoW.
I tested it many times against the AI and I think although I didn't balance it perfectly none of the two sides have a big advantage/disadvantage.

Have fun and leave comments :)
