Welcome to Rotunda, a steam engine workshop turned secret doomsday storage facility, now abandoned. Fight on trains, fight around trains, and fight for trains!
Rotunda publicity blurb

Rotunda is a community-created King of the Hill map. The map is set in a somewhat abandoned train depot in south east Germany, with both teams fighting over a reactor with 2 steam locomotives on each side. This map has been partially inspired by the open layouts of Nucleus and Harvest.

Rotunda was contributed to the Steam Workshop.

Locations

  • Spawn yard: A yard straight out of the spawn room, contains an entrance to the Tunnels, a main path to the point, as well as an infinitely long train.
  • Tunnels: Straight out of spawn, some underground tunnels can be found under a hatch lifting up two shipping containers leading to directly under the point.
  • Outer train depot: The outer section train depot conists of a large ring around the inner depot.
  • Inner train depot: The main control point, contains an upper level and a lower level.
  • Lower depot catwalk: A small catwalk near the control point, connects to a small building that houses a medium health pack.

Strategy
