Reviewer's Thoughts:

This is another great little mideval town map that I think most users would like. The map features a series of paths and cobblestone roads, littered with weapons and other inventory which act as corridors between the numerous little houses. The upper section consists of houses build upon stilts and give great vertical advantage over other players below. There are also small pools and wells which are interconnected, giving players that last chance getaway if they truely need it. The houses usually contain narrow passageways which lead into small, invantory stocked rooms which I have mixed feelings about (I prefer rooms which offer at least some elbow space, but that is just my opinion) Ther rooms could also serve as a good hiding place... but who wants to hide when there are bots to hunt! I was rather impressed with the abundance of ammo, weapons and other inventory and they were relatively well placed (some ammo I found to be emmeded into walls and that sort of thing, but that is more easthetic than anything). The lighting was quite adequate and sourced however there was not much else invested into creating atmosphere with lighting. Texturing was adequate as well as was the overall geometry, however with the later I found some doorways 'stuck out' and I am not sure if this was intensional or not. Overall the map was quite decent in most regards and should be a worthwhile download.
