crossroads

Crossroads is a bomb defusal map set in an Italian lakeside village, designed around 5v5 matches.

A is the open Cantina wine courtyard with sheltered planting cover and an arcade. B is the enclosed Pizzeria, with its own counter, oven, windows and entry routes. The sites are farther apart, with a central route and underground rotations between them.

This update adds connected lake bridges with iron railings, a full-height tunnel route to CT spawn, explorable side rooms, doors, village facades, shutters, balconies and local props. Lighting, water reflections, textures and both levels of the radar have been rebuilt. Spawn sightlines are blocked, and the navigation mesh supports the main routes and all 100 spawn points.

Normal matches use 5v5 competitive rules. For a larger local bot session, load the map in Custom mode: game_type 3; game_mode 0; host_workshop_map 3800642963

Then use ezp_bots20, ezp_bots40 or ezp_bots64. Wait for bots to join, then run ezp_restart. These are total-player targets, including humans. A session with 62 bots plus one human was tested; the engine's client limit still applies, and large counts need more performance. Use ezp_match to restore 10-player rules.

Feedback from matches is welcome as balance continues to be refined.
