KING1 was created by SwarmDMX (Jason). The map design was influenced by Jason's 2 favorite but opposing map styles with the Danzig and Judas23 maps on the technical structured side, and the Mancerx maps on the other more free and open side. King1 was an attempt to create a free flowingmap supporting fast movement allowing players to determine their own style rather than "playing the map". At the same time Jason introduced a level of structure and mechanics to the map to avoid the "just circle and shoot" syndrome to which the Mancerx maps were sometimes prone. The aim was to ensure these mechanics did not impede the speed and freedom of the map, so all doors and rebuilding stairs on the map are fast, including a turbo lift. While the design aimed to ensure every area of the map provided the player with options, Jason loved spawn fragging and the map reflects this. Each player is guaranteed to both execute and suffer a series of spawn frags during a typical 10 minute match.
