Raindance

From TribalWar

Raindance is one of the original Tribes 1 CTF maps. It was the only Tribes 1 CTF map included with the Tribes 1 demo and consequentially was for most players the first map that they played. Raindance is often abbreviated RD.

Rocket Turrets of Raindance

The rocket turrets of Raindance are generally a huge bonus to a team's defenses and are therefore a prime target for offensive players, usually the Heavy Offense (though Light Offense have been known to destroy rocket turrets by spamming grenades, mines and discs at them), to destroy to help their Cappers so that they will no longer have to worry about a rocket killing them when trying to grab or returning home with the enemy flag.

Due to the layout of the platforms that the rocket turrets are placed on, it is generally easier to destroy Diamond Sword's rocket turret than it is Blood Eagle's.
