for now its looking good, take care of the background, make it more adapted to the walls and not like buildings outside of walls.
and why just a few cubes as posible? why?

Rather than explain I just built onto it. Use it if you like. Link

As you stated in the description it is indeed bland in many areas still. But also, why would there be a bunch of torches lit in the middle of the day? That part doesn't make sense to me. I would rather it be night setting and then choosing between a cold or a warm feeling toward it (if you include torches in the map). Nevertheless one of the better maps that has been published recently. Solid map overall.

Thanks for the feedback so far.

@Doko, just to decrease file-size and lag, and my opinion that simplicity is often the best form of gameplay, at least in sauer. And also points 1, 3 (the second 3) and 9 in this: http://www.quadropolis.us/node/3186

@Pyccna, awesome builds :D, will most likely use them in the final copy, though I might change just a few things about it just for personal taste.

@afroninja, I started along with this map a ctf version of it, and the lighting looks more like this: http://i.imgur.com/Zyd5CGJ.png. Maybe I could use that for this duel map.

Thanks again for the comments

Map updated

Looks a lot less bland now.

After checking out for the first time (my pc died some weeks ago and I wasn't in the mood to use my laptop due this event), it looks like a pretty nice map with a solid flow and gameplay.
Even it's meant to taunt the player; it's not a good thing to let a quad spawn which is unreachable without actually dying. Don't do that as it's provoking a misleading situatation towards people which are new to the map. There isn't any proper reason to die also (you fall into some ordinary coloured what, so what?).
All platforms next to the main paths could use some trimming at the edges, it feels pretty bold and boring right now. All torches rather seem too plain to be torches also.
You've used some uncommon clipping technique just above the walls. Why all the alpha material with skytextured surfaces (even on straight spots)?

The packaging still is incorrect; fix this.

More feedback will come another time...

Map updated once more. I think it is about "finished". Any further comments/votes would be appreciated, and I would get back to work on it. For now, enjoy the map :)

I would trim the roof it looks odd with that texture without somthing finishing it off. also from the snip spot (2 windows only one open to jump through) I would close them both off, due to the fact that you can jump onto the roof (ofc its clipped off) which really kills the flow in my opinion. Using clip to block (seemingly) playable areas seems bad. Also i would fully clip the party open door, for the same reasons. No point not to, its just one more place some one can get stuck. Other than that great map keep it up :)

Dang, this map looks a lot better than it used to. One complaint, at some places you are higher than the roofs, but you can't actually jump onto them, they are clipped off. Actually, the roofs seem pretty plain and flat overall as well. They don't need much, but they do need a little more.

I don't really know about the gameplay of the map, but visually it's much better than before.

Trims are neat. But: Wrong file? Quad is still there.

Let's check the map once more.

There are some nice details, but I certainly miss some contrast for the texturing. The whole map uses the very same brown brick texture, while the rest of the map is more of the same. There are so much pieces of geometry which are screaming to pop out.

As in flow and gameplay, it's a solid one. I only think the clipping above the walls feel too low due the height of the walls. Although that would change the lighting probably on a bad way.

So still a nice map after all these years!
