Created by FlawlessGecko. Steel Bastion - an 8-player 2 vs 6 stronghold defence map. Two players hold a walled double-octagon fortress with a giant Tempest field at its heart; six attackers start in walled outposts around it. Each outpost has two starting fields, with six contested fields and rich inner fields in between. Connected road network with an outer ring road, a corridor road between the stronghold walls and roads to every gate. Rolling hills, rock outcrops, green Tempest crystal groves, wrecks, craters and battlefield debris, with an industrial skyline on the ridges. Tested: all 8 starts connected; full AI 2v6 skirmishes play out with every side building and fighting. Balance is still experimental - feedback welcome.
