Summary

Iceville is an Arctic-style winter island map. While it has received some remakes over time, its basic layout has remained consistent.

Design & Path

CurrentVersion 2Version 1

The current version of Iceville is a small, snow-capped island with icebergs lying around the sea and island. There is a snow overpass spanning on side of the map, a sheer cliff face surrounding another side (where you can place cliff towers) and water surrounding the other sides. Evidence of human settlement can be seen, with several igloos seen.
The light grey pebble path begins at a cave underneath the snow overpass and takes a straight route to the cave at the end of the mountain. The path is more or less straight, though there are some corners to avoid natural environment.

The second version of Iceville was a small, ice-capped snow island with icebergs seen out in the sea. An ice overpass could be seen, with icy mountains covering most of the island. The icy mountain was jagged and steep, meaning cliff towers could not placed on it. Human settlement could be seen, with igloos and wooden outpost towers. You could place cliff towers on the outpost towers.
The grey path began at a cave underneath the ice overpass and ended at a cave at the far end of the ice mountain. The path took an indirect route, twisting around the artificial environment.

The first version of Iceville was a small, snow-capped island with icebergs seen out in the sea. A snow overpass could be spanning some of the map, with a stepped snow mountain surrounding most of the map. You could place cliff towers on the snow mountain. At the peak of the snow mountain was a Canadian flag, giving the significance of Canadian territory, probably signifying a minor settlement like Alert, Canada. The only presence of human habitation was the igloos sparsely populated around the map.
The white grey path began at a cave beside the ice overpass and ended at a cave at the far end of the ice mountain. The path took an indirect route, twisting around the artificial and natural environment.

Strategy

• Cliff towers, like the Ranger and Sniper, can cover the entire map with a well placed DJ Booth.
• Near the start and middle of the map is where you should place most ground towers as this is where most ground space is.
  • If you are on a large server, space may be limited. Sell towers if they get in the way of more important towers.
• The map's path is quite short. Consider bringing the Freezer, Frost Blaster, Toxic Gunner or Electroshocker to slow down enemies.

Trivia

• Iceville is a very bright map due to an oversight, which may cause a loss in focus because of the intensity of the brightness.
• In the first version of this map, a Canadian flag was flown on top of the mountain.
  • This was removed when the map was remade in the MEGA Update.
• This map was remade in the MEGA Update, replacing the blocky terrain with a mid-poly look. The skybox also changed.
  • This map was, once again, remade in the Overhaul Update.
• According to KnownSH, Iceville was based on the South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, a British Overseas Territory in the southern Atlantic Ocean.
• An outpost tower can be seen buried in the ice. However, because of how bright the map is, it is not possible to see it without free camera mode, which is not available to most people.
  • This outpost tower is a reference to the old version of the map, where these were used as cliff spots.
