ONS-Icarus

Map description
The map takes place atop of several towers linked by way of roads, with the exception of two standalone towers near each team's bases. The bases are located at the North (blue) and South (red) towers. Left of the Blue tower, there's the Blue Leviathan tower, which isn't connected to the rest of the map, except by way of a jumppad and a teleporter going from this tower to near the Blue base. The Red Leviathan tower is similar to the Blue Leviathan, except that obviously is located at the right of the Red base, and the respective tele and jumppad gets the user to near the Red base. The titular tower spans through four of them, holding the nodes, and a lot of the vehicles and strategic positions.

There are six nodes in the map:
 * 1) West Tower, placed atop the, well, West Tower of the central area.
 * 2) East Tower, placed atop the tower in front of the above.
 * 3) Blue Prime, located south of the blue base at the north central tower.
 * 4) Red Prime, located north of the red base at the south central tower.
 * 5) Red Leviathan, located in the tower at the northeast of the Red base.
 * 6) Blue Leviathan, located in the tower at the southwest of the Blue base.

Link setups

 * Default: Blue Base connected to Blue Prime. Blue Prime connected to Blue Leviathan, West Tower and East Tower. West Tower connected to Blue Prime and Red Prime. Same with East Tower. Red Prime connected to West Tower, East Tower and Red Leviathan. Red Base connected to Red Prime.
 * Default+Leviathan2Core: Same as above, plus Red Base connected to Red Leviathan, and Blue Base connected to Blue Leviathan.

Link setup-specific strategy

 * Default: Suffers the dreaded Enemy Prime Stalemate Syndrome.
 * Default+Leviathan2Core: With another route to the Core, it's possible to retaliate, except that the Prime nodes become the bottlenecks of the map.

Trivia

 * The map was slated to be shipped with the game, however time constraints prevented it from doing so. This didn't stopped the map to be released as a standalone bonus map, even granting it the first UT2004 Ownage award by CliffyB.
