    Looks good. The structure in the corner is very Halo 2 Warlock-esque. The rest looks nicely forged. Will download and get back to you with a more detailed response.

    Did a forge-through and I must say I'm quite impressed. The map itself is simple as far as gameplay goes but I don't mean in a bad way. I really like the way you did the aesthetics, incorporating them into the natural elements of the map. It makes it seem as though you are truly in some sort of lost cavern or something and not just in a forged map. Will definitely be keeping this one for a while. Nice job and hope to see more like this. It also has a very loose Hang 'em High feel to it with the layout.

    Wow, I love the asthetics on this map. It definatley looks like it would have a unique play style. I'll download and try it out. 5/5 though for what I can see from the pics and description.

    First off, this map really grabs me with the red base structure. It looks really ancient and like it was just in an Indiana Jones movie. The Blue base isn't as eye catching, but it serves its purpose well. The center area also provides great gameplay with the huge pillars.

    Overall im going to give it a 5/5

    The appearance of those bases is really nicely done. I also like how both bases are unique. The center looks hectic and complex. Keep up the good work.

    Both bases are obviously one of a kind.
    They're the best part of Empire.

    It's very hard to get a good picture of what the map really looks like. Your overview picture is a little too high above. Try capturing another overview picture but this time don't go up that much.



    Woah, you have overdone things here.

    - Decrease the amount of Plasma Nades to four.
    - Take out one overshield.
    - As for the Bubble Shield, Power Drain and the Regen, decrease the amount of those to one.

    Work on your equipment and pictures :p

    The base design does it for me, I'm sold haha. I love red base's roman style as well as blue base's slant style. The bridge in the center is a nice touch too
