    The map concept looks so great with the chosen template. I suggest placing some more landscape context (mountains, river ends, etc) around the playable layout to not break the idea. From outside to inside looks great, from inside to outsde feels simple.

    So I took @ArturBloodshot 's constructive criticism to heart. I was a bit disappointed with original layout for the interiors of the bases, but my budget was maxed out. After taking a hard look I found several ways to save on resources and ultimately added a locked door to each base that I wanted in my first version. The side spaces for spawning needed something, so I was able create some Chinese prayer spaces to tie them in better. I had a few more resources so I added in river sound to fill the ambiance of the bridge. I did try to make the space in the water feel more like a river, but it ended up looking cheesy at best and stuck with the original idea of turning all objects 55 degrees so that the sunset lined up to the playable space AND created two contrasting backdrops to either side of the bridge.

    The fact you rotated the entire Map to match symmetrical shadows shows dedication. The overall style of your map is beautiful.
