This is my entry for Sock and Nunuks Geometric Challenge 2.
It is a combination of a normal quake-map and the experimentation with the most extreme
expression of an architectural style my head has crackled with in the last few months,
which I have dubbed Neorganic - hence the title. It is a style that grows on its own with
metaphors suddenly appearing in places never planned for. Hopefully the realistic version
will sometime stand among the buildings of distant earth,
as soon as I finish architecture school, that is... ;)
Hope you like it as much as me and my "inmates" does.
And please do send me a note, if you review the map or put it on a server :)

------------Tech-Comments------------------

High r_speeds you say? Due to the design of the map the r_speeds can be changed fluidly.
The peaks around 30k - which does perform a lot better than usual - can easily be changed
to a meeker 12k with almost good average speeds ;)
A simple change of the subdivisionlevel by shifting to low geometry settings,
solves this in a jiffy.
But if you have the system, go for the high setting - it looks incredible smooth :)

As for the bots, it took me 3 days just to get the bot-file compile-able,
so the performance of these incredible stupid creatures is kinda strange... ;)
More bots on the map seem to make the gameplay more fluid.
Also bots seem to pressure the performance in a drastic way on this map.
And Use Real people and you will experience something very different!
