Excellent! :D

Liked the theme here.

Mark, that comment was just HUGE O_O

Also This is the longest review I've ever read! Just wow.

Thanks Anthem for the review and thanks Mark for your positive comment. Nice to hear about your opinion.
btw Anthem: There are three towers :D (or only two? hm hm)

Na, the judging was fine. Trust me. Given the first 6 entries you should understand. Plus, this was made in 2 weeks. While it is impressive, there is still much that could have been bettered given more time. It's a great map, yes, but there were better. Also, about reviewing these maps and being a judge: I feel obligated to give these people their due exposure on this site by reviewing their maps when nobody else seems to want to. I didn't just rush in and try to review all the maps; I let them sit here for a bit hoping that others will want to review them. I feel as though these maps should be released on here as soon as possible because they truly are brilliant.

OMFG!!! Just OMG... Guys, this is so, so beautiful and so, so clever. Visually the tele from the sg to rl looks a little cramped (but not out of place) and the exit from the ramp to ya a little low (depending upon your approach) but forgiveable compromises seeing everything else is so, so right. Pleases a variety of gametypes without compromise and aesthetically spot on and the geometry and distances are all just right and yet it still remains effortless... You guys rock! this is a bang up job. Damn Fine! With respect to the review - firstly i don't think it is ethical for a judge in a competition to be reviewing the entries as well. gOth and bliccer would have play tested the maps with themselves and friends - and it actually shows in the final results. Item placement and balance carries with it certain rules of thumb but these are not hard and fast - especially not with a map that has been designed to be playable as small ffa, tdm and tourney - there is room to move that will lend a map its individuality but as long as the genral rules are observed - as they have been here - they don't really need to be tested. That level of refinement is more at home in a map being designed for tourney alone - but even then - it is a matter of personal playing style and taste rather than an inarguable truth. Sometimes armour shards function as sound signs to give a players location away and not all of the jump platforms need to be used in a (curvi-)linear sequence of grabs. Those small areas are chokezones - and are often to be avoided - but one of many varying opportunities to rack up a frag. i'm wondering where these parts are that are constraining to gameflow - because to be honest i didn't notice any: i think the map flows nicely where cityy's entry for example is clumsy in many places - so i must be missing something. the map is designed with 2x2 tdm in mind which is why i guess it carries that feel the reviewer mentioned... i'm so sorry i only really hopped on here to complement the map - but seeing as the reviewer has invited response - i'm gonna be the one to give it. i just feel the review is so off track in this case and that would explain why it is 7th and not in the top 3 - were the judges a little off tap??? i'm sorry it just doesn't make any sense to me.

A great map therefore you only spent like 2 and a half weeks on it - I really did not think you could do it so fast. The rock is the absolute highlight of the level for me - it looks just so cool. The rest of the level also looks great aswell - I really like the textures although some do not really fit in IMO. I can't say much about the gameplay as I did not have the chance to play it online but from testing it offline Id say it has a slight problem with the distance between items - the good map flow allows you to get from one place to another really quick.
In the end it's a great release that is well worth downloading - I hope to see more maps of you both in future. :)
