Hey all! After much deliberation, and much creative synthesis, I present to you my newest creation, a team map; it's not just a team map though, it's so much more than that. The first special feature: cross spawns disabled.

After much discussion with the team, we(I) determined that the exceedingly long rush distances destroy the type of gameplay this map sets out to achieve, so for this rendition of the map those spawn combinations have been eliminated.

Recommended players: 1v1, 1v1v1v1v1v1v1v1, 2v2, 2v2v2v2

The 1v1v1v1v1v1v1v1 and 2v2v2v2 modes on this map are also known as free-for-all melee, this is something new that has never been done before.
This map has so many more features than just that though. Here are some more:

+ Show Spoiler [spoiler=Feature1] +

Feature: Spawn point. You could spawn here, or your ally could, be careful!


+ Show Spoiler [spoiler=Feature2] +
[image loading]
Feature: Grass on tiles. Never been done before.


+ Show Spoiler [spoiler=Feature3] +
[image loading]
Feature: Roads in center. Improve traffic flow through middle of map.


+ Show Spoiler [spoiler=Feature4] +
[image loading]
Feature: Buildings. Impede ground movement, make air units stronger.


Now for some data!:

Spawn points: 8
Map Size: irrelevant

Holy shit this is like the best map ever. It really does not remind me of Korhal City whatsoever!! Psssh. That is a 1v1 map.
THIS is a 2v2 map.

Very well executed and great ideas. Doesn't remind me of anything I have seen before in particular.

The general layout is good. I really like the artwork on this map. It does resemble a real city. Maybe this map should get on ladder, cus I see no balance flaws in it :o
It's all about the reflections of freedom. Even though he hoped for a better world, with all his strenght, all his will, the most he could do was to make her smile.

Part of the goal with this map was certainly to push out some untested ideas. Being a 2v2 map, it's already partway there. Be sure to get some games played on it! It's still published on NA.

Finally a good and innovative 2v2 map. Certainly something that's never been seen before.

I'd recommend removing the collapsable rock tower to make it better!
