Design & Path

• Current
• Version 3
• Version 2
• Version 1

The current version of Four Seasons is an island surrounded by water, though some parts of the map have high mountains. It has four regions, correlating to one of the four meteorological seasons. Taking the entrance of the map as north, the first area of the map representing winter. Several snowy trees and rock, can be seen as well as an igloo. Ice can also be seen in the water, which is also present in other regions. The next region south is the area representing spring. This region contains pine trees and trees with purple leaves. The next region south is the area representing summer. Unlike other regions, this area is not a forest but a desert. Most of the region contains hills and cacti. The final region is the area representing autumn (or fall). Here, the trees had brown leaves. A cottage and two pumpkin patches can be found here.
The path begins at a cave in the winter region and ends at a cave in the autumn region. The path crosses all four regions, being a white pebble path in the winter region, brown soil in the spring region, sand in the summer region and stone in the autumn region.

The third version of Four Seasons was an island surrounded by water, though some parts of the map had high mountains. It had four regions, correlating to one of the four meteorological seasons. Taking the entrance of the map as north, the first area of the map representing winter. Several snowy trees, and bare trees, could be seen as well as a cottage. The next region south was the area representing spring. This region contained mostly grown trees, with some trees blossoming, though a wheelbarrow and a small lake could also be seen. The next region south was the area representing summer. This region had tropical trees. A holiday villa, pickup truck, volleyball court and summer outhouse can also be seen. The final region was the area representing autumn (or fall). Here, the trees had brown leaves. There was also a flatbed truck, which contained a gun, a rug in the open and a stargazing telescope.
The path began at a cave in the winter region and ended at a cave in the autumn region. The path crossed all four regions, being a stone path in the winter and autumn regions, brown soil in the spring region, and sand in the summer region.

The second version of Four Seasons was a large island surrounded by water, though most of the island was vast, expansive featureless space. All of the details of the map were confined to an area surrounded by mountains. It had four regions, correlating to one of the four meteorological seasons. Taking the entrance of the map as north, the first area of the map represents winter. Several snowy trees, a snow mound and a frozen lake could be seen in this region. The next region was the spring area. This area had blossoming trees, a grass mound and a cottage. The next region south was the summer area. This region had tropical trees, deckchairs, summer outhouses and a lake. The final region was the autumn (or fall) area. A river separated the summer and autumn regions. The autumn region had trees with brown leaves.
The black slate path began at a cave in the winter region and ended at a cave in the autumn region. The path crossed all four regions and crossed a bridge to go over the river that separated the summer and autumn regions.

Strategy

• Due to the high amount of corners, the winter and spring regions is where most of the ground towers should go.
  • Due to the circular nature of the path here, the Ace Pilot and Pursuit can perform well on this map.
• There are many cliff spots near the track meaning that Rangers and Snipers are suitable for this map.
  • Be aware that each cliff spot can only support a small amount of towers. This make it hard for the Commander or DJ Booth to boost a large number of cliff towers.
