					Maps
					There are a variety of maps available in the current version of Rival Species, 
						including designs from both RS team mappers and contributions from fans. 
					The maps offer many different types of gameplay from bloody small scale arena 
						combat to battles across large maps involving many different troop options and 
						various vehicles. However the objective types can be divided into five 
						categories: Area Control, Capture the Artifact, Direct Confrontation, 
						Destruction and Arena. 
					Click on map pictures for further details on any of the maps.
