Okay, it's almost 4h since you posted this map on Quadro... And I'm reviewing it x3

General idea of fortress-type building in cave system is great and original, with those towers and holes above... Geometry is really good, altho I would add more details, like wooden, metal and stone pillars along walls, and some decorative and/or broken tiles on ground, including some of them in cave system... Again, simplicity may be style of the map, but lack of lighting in some places makes it hard to even see stairs, which were beautifully modeled. So, as you said you'll update the node, I'll suggest few things I noticed that could be improved, and that surely aren't part of mapping style :)

1) Add more ammo, those placed right now are really scarce... Some 2 Green Armours should be there too, and it's up to you about Quad Damage and Health Boost, location of Yellow Armour is great.
2) Lighting... I saw some torches without light emission, and sunlight is set to 255-255-255, which I think it's really too high, and also skylight is 160-100-0, which is too orange... Also placement of light sources matters a lot, I would add torches or some magical light source in those caves, like crystals or magic water that glows... Imagination takes you everywhere (where you can imagine).
3) Clipping is generally good, expecially in caves, where is lot of complex geometry, but you can nadejump out of the map near Quad Damage, without using it... As eihrul said, when map boundaries aren't clipped, little kittens come near the edge and fall-off the map... Save the kittens. I'd clip the hell out of it, that ceiling for sure ;)

So, map is great, and it requires A LOT of work considering it's size, and I'm glad you want to update your node with improvements on the map... I'll post some images of things I noticed, there are some lighting errors, which are easy fix, also, lighten that beautiful geometry out there on the map:D

I remember awhile back you worked on this map. Its looks reminiscent of the cube maps from back in the day. Looks good so far. you may need to add more drop items on those empty spots [8.0]

Nice map!

It's a long time ago since I saw this map again.

It makes me feel like playing back in ctf edition on paradiselost, but then crossed with thor (not a bad thing if you ask me).

The map shows off some details, yet still being light-weight. Could be a bit more, but shouldn't be it's main focus. If some sounds would be added for example, the experience would be way better on that part.

When running trough the map it feels like you never get bored doing so.

The lighting could use some tweaks; the bright sunlight shining from outside feels like you're a trapped bird in a cage that wants to be free.
Speaking about being free; the ceiling isn't clipped at all, so you can trickjump out of the map.

At certain places the area is lit good, but at some it just feels lacking.

I see some weapon placement in certain areas, but it feels missing in some places.

In overall, it's a nice map with a lot of potencies.

Thanks rabe, LandRiders7th, Suicizer and 7yearBitch for commenting.

7yearBitch: Added lots more ammo and health, hopefully the placement is good. Lots of lighting has been added for better visibility.

LandRiders7th: This layout is totally original, and has lots of floor over floor action which could not be done in Cube 1. You probably feel that way because of the floor textures, the marble grey and red ones. Those are oldschool quake 2 textures that were used in Cube 1. Kind of a mix of a couple oldschool textures with some new ones.

Thanks rabe, appreciate it.

Suicizer: The lighting has been tweaked a lot and I hope it is closer to what is ideal. The ceilling has been clipped off so no more trick jumps out of the map but still some cool trickjumping potential during gameplay. Lastly, the map has map sounds as you suggestested to add to the experience.

This map is not complete yet, but is workable, and in need of some playtsting. I would really like the next release to be the last and final release, and will change it from "stable" to "final" in the map description. So what should I improve for the next release?

After checking out once more, it definitely shows off some improvement ^^!

Nice to hear some sounds also. Some might be too overwhelming (like the waterfall sound which reaches a lot of of the map), but it's there.

The lighting still isn't great, perhaps due ambient 8, 9, 10 is being used.
Having lightprecision 48 and lighterror 16 would make the file-size reasonable, yet the lighting itself not horrible. If you still want smooth shadows, blurlms 0...2 is your friend (would be understandable as sharp shadows in a cave environment is a bit weird).

Some blendmapping is still missing, but that's for another day.

Keep up the this nice map!

This is the download link to the new map if there is any confusion:

I clicked over and over to upload the .zip and it stayed "genesis.jpg". I had to redo this post several times, and the screenshot would not post either. So I posted the link to make sure there is no confusion.

Lots of improvements have been made and I hope to be making many more maps in the future. If anyone is interested, please check the map out.

The map keeps getting better and better.

You certainly can see difference, there's a lot more to see compared to last time. Although this is also some trap, it feels like some details are inconsistent (like different light-sources everywhere, but also inconsistency in geometric details).

The lighting feels better, but some torches still have an odd colour (a certain yellow-tone). This is on some stairs towards one of the highest platforms of the map. Some interesting techniques has been used also.

There still are some geometry errors, like in the ceiling of rocks near one of the biggest holes in the ceiling of the map. Also on top of the hole, there's a geometry error.

The clipping still isn't done. You can do some trickjump (even without holding a Quaddamage) to get on top of the map and go wild with wall-hacking.
Just lower the clip with gridpower 5 on the ceiling.
The bars before some current at the lower floor (and the whole place after the bars) could use some clipping.

I'm still missing blendmaps with dirt and debris to make the map feel more natural.

There have been added a lot of new pickups, which is a good thing. However, there are at the moment 31 health, while only 8 shells, 11 bullets, 9 riflerounds, 5 rockets, 13 grenades, 10 cartridges, 1 YA, 1 Quad and no GA.
This makes the gameplay very unbalanced (like a dozen of people would go for the Quad and YA). So what about 2 GA, reduce the health by half and double each ammo?

So in short,
The map needs to get clipped better and fix geometry bugs. It misses blendmaps, debris and some balance in pickups.
There certainly has been made progress. So good job!

2020 Update!
------------

Hello everyone, updated again and been taking everyone's advice. Was mentioned that things may have looked a bit too repetitive before, and at parts too repetitive of textures were used over too long of areas, so fixed that up by blending the caves and lots of the dirt, redoing areas with over repetitive textures that take up more area than they should. Smoothed things over for performance, to run better, and for it's size and rather detailed nature, it is a pretty small size and runs fairly good. Smoothed out some edges and clipped things for better playability. Thanks so much for all the help really appreciate it.
