Pros: A wonderfull original idea, well done with plenty of charm, perfect balance (but it is symetrical) and good looks. Cons: the only con i see is simply that it is just a little bland, needs some flavor, some qerks, ect Improvements: perhaps some coctail classes, some more dice and betting chips, one of those things for pushing chips around and anything else ou can think of but i am mainly thinking in the castle. Notes: I do realy love this map but get bored of it in half an hour. but i do love it.

Pros: Original look to the map. Cons: Easy to get pinned in your base and surrounded. Demomen and Soldiers can easily get to intel by jumping over base. Improvements: Redesign the top area so that this exploit can no longer be achieved. Create an exit in the back of the base to allow for more than one way out of your base.

Pure fun, it must have been a hell of a work on the textures!

We just added this map to the control point podcast fun server #5. Can't wait to try it out. People are welcome to request it, nominate it, or see if it comes up in the normal rotation.

Jesus, you even put a different texture on every wall. Incredible.

I really enjoy the way this map looks, I stumbled upon it a little bit ago. The layout is pretty kick ass, the texture work is killer, and the lighting just fits. The only con I would have would be the interiors. Its a bit hard on the eyes at the start, but you do get used to it.

Very kick ass work!

I shall replace the other one on my server

This is a giant leap forward from b2 and I'm happy to include it in my rotation. Breaking up/reconfiguring the open areas, especially at the top level was IMO very much needed and you did an excellent job addressing those issues.

Some things I noticed...

• It seems very difficult to jump from the towers into the top level of the base. I was never able to do it as a soldier during the few opportunities I had to try it.
• I think there should be small or medium health packs on all of the towers.
• Like the other piece of feedback here, I agree that a less cumbersome route directly to the second floor would be helpful, but I also think if you were to add a direct ramp or something up the sides, nobody would ever try to take the main entrance. Realistically, I think it's best to leave it as is or make it slightly easier to make the jumps.
• Along the same lines, I think the jumps along the extreme edges of the center wall are too much of a hassle to use and are for all intents and purposes useless when a sniper is paying attention. It'd be nice if they didn't require crouch jumping to traverse.
• The middle of the center wall is very dark and it's often difficult to tell teams apart in that area.

Awesome

Needs more health around the top level for attacking demomen and soldiers; and I still think a ramp directly up to the second floor would open this map up a lot more
