Barriers have been added to prevent mantis entering buildings etc. due to the fact that invisible blockers don't work with mantises.

A further route has been added from the flooded corridoor where camo is found to the library room. 2 windows which can be entered through, once the pallets blocking them are destroyed, have also been added to this room.

Also the upper room where the central stronghold is found now has a large open window which can be entered via a man-cannon on a lower...

Some grass and vines have been removed to decrease framerate.

A man-cannon has been added up to one of the skyscrapers from across the street making it less of a power position. This is an attempt to increase the area players go in when playing slayer.

Finally vehicle blockers have been added to prevent the mantis from entering buildings. However I noticed the blockers seemed to be broken so please message me if you know of a fix.

CTF has been added and tested and the back corridoor has had further changes. Also power weapons/vehicles have been returned to their original positions with the plasma-nade turret in the entranceway, the mantis by the central sculpture and the overshield on the bridge.

Venus 2 was the version that has gone forward after another week of testing. Please download the new version of the map, "Venus" using the download link.
