A Smallish DoD map meant for 4-8 players. I had allot of fun with the rock work on this one, but still managed to keep the r_s low.

This is, I think, my best DM map to date. It is a nuclear waste processing facility located on a mountaintop. I have paid particular attention to layout, and keeping my R's down while deliver excellent visuals and a dynamic environment.
Weapons are fairly heavy, but all of the "big ones" are either difficult to obtain or hidden. I would suggest a player load of around 4-6 people.

r_speeds average around 800-900, but have a few peaks around 1100. Know issues include:
A weird star-like thing at the center of the main waste pool. Some instability due to maxing out on edicts if all of the env_shooters go off at once. I will need to reduce their number for the final release.

This is the full version of Dessau. It contains only two main sections due to my reaching the clipnodes limit a bit sooner than I had anticipated. Nearly all of the buildings are enterable.
