Plausible? Thoughts?
Hmmm. I think the flag should be behind some kind of massive wall. Capturing points will activate more ways to the wall, making it easier to cap? Or that could just be a different game mode.

That's sort of what I'm envisioning. I'll try and pull together a sketch to post. I mean, basically, the flag room would initially have one hallway leading to it, making it pretty easy to defend. As the attackers take points, side hallways would open up, roof access, etc. Eventually, it would be accessible from many different angles, making it far more difficult for the defenders to guard.

I would be interested in working on such a map.

This sounds good. Have to make sure it's damn difficult to cap until at the first couple of CPs have been capped.
