Pirate_Battle_1: Background Information
The Pirate Battle server was inspired by the numerous Naval Battle maps being created. Originally hosted by the 9th Life Infantry Regiment, and now hosted by The Picnic Party, it aims to create a fun environment to experience battle off land, on the high seas and deep waters. With over 15 maps in operation, and another set being developed, the server grows daily and always has an admin on service to regulate game-play and ensure a fair and fun environment for all players.

- You may NOT use your time on the server to recruit for your regiment and DO NOT spam
- Please speak English if asked to do so by an admin
- Do not block stairways
- Do not delay at the end of rounds

- An admin may override any of these rules or add to this list if a rule is missing as is deemed appropriate in game

Artaxias' Mapping Corner
This is an area in the OP for one of the mappers, and current admins, of Pirate Battle 1, Artaxias. Included are his maps, each with a known bugs and suggestions section. In addition, there is a section for future/ongoing projects. He has been making maps for this server for a long time, and some of his maps were among the first to be on the server, having become known as the "classics" such as Arabian Harbour (Day)! He is proud to have contributed to such a great server, and he is also incredibly grateful to the other sceners who stepped up to help make this server what it is today! He will try to stay as up to date as possible!
**Please do note that he is not the sole mapmaker, there are plenty of other mappers, he has only made the ones in this section**

Map Status: Planning stage
Map Features: This map is in early development. It will likely feature several frigates and immobile schooners sinking or damaged clumped together. It will look as if intense boarding action has occurred. Flames and smoke will light up the battlefield. Each team will spawn on opposite sides of the wreckage with several longboats. That being said players can still travel to the other side through the wreckage (albeit dangerously and courageously).
