Map History

Sidi Power Plant was taken into service toward the end of the first century of the second millennium. At its time it was considered an experimental power plant as efficient as a nuclear plant, but much more friendly to the environment. With the oncoming ice, Sidi Power Plant remains one of the largest functional power sources in northern Africa. As such, it is regarded as a highly appealing asset for both PAC and EU forces.   

Vehicles

The map is vehicle-based and holds all vehicles from the game. Air transport vehicles and heavy attack vehicles spawn at the rim bases with the exception of Battle Walkers, which spawn on each side of the river. The center island spawns the map’s only Air Attack vehicle.
