Smaller-medium DM map suitable for 2on2/4on4 matches, duels possible. :-)

Description:
When Liandri corporation opened 'JAR-34' arena (Just Another Rankin - 34th
industrial in its possession), no one could expect that players would name
the arena on their own. Liandri chose an interesting man to make an arena
keeper. Merty Getherto, former gardener and sprayer, surely imprinted his
individuality to the face of the arena. Nobody calls it by other name but
'The Getherto'. And he is also funny guy, really. Even Malcolm likes talking
with him for a few minutes before he enters another match to win.

About the map:

This is my second map and I learned a lot on it. :-)

Map has three main sections (a100, a50 and DD) with a lot of connectivity
between them. Central area is inspired by one shopping centre in Bratislava.
Long ramp is in fact escalator where I the idea for this map hit me. Other
two sections were added with simple things on my mind: a100 will be in some
kind of dead end and DD will be attackable from everywhere. A100 room was
build as first and it was sized down a little (and still could be smaller,
but I did not know how to do it without breaking other things). It is
derived from Rankin and I could not hide it enough later. ;-)

Central area have had only two levels originaly connected only with long ramp.
It was a bad place, but fortunately I fixed it with partition walls (red Rankin
brick). With addition of semilevel with adrenaline (and related wall and hole
to a100 room) it became quite nice close quarter combat down there.

DD room was last one and its layout was made really quickly. Originally it
contained jumppad and with it it strongly reminded Campgrounds DD room.
Later the pad was moved near current rocket launcher because it did not
provide so many possibilities as lift. Later the room became open from the top
and whole atmosphere of this place was changed to current courtyard.

Foliage on the map was planned from the start - because there is a lot of
plants in aforementioned shopping centre. :-) Later the idea of gardener arose
(thanks to JP-Studios) and soon after that Getherto became its surename.
Before that Getherto was just the word "Together" with shifted letters, because
our shopping park have a name Polus what is shifted "spolu" and that means
"together" in Slovak. :-) In fact, Getherto was the first sure thing about this
map. Getherto supposed to be Marty originaly, but this was changed because of
the "GetHerTo Me(rty)" writing on the wall.

I hardly tried to provide the best gameplay I could for the initial layout
ideas. Bots like nearly every place and they know the map really well. :-)
