After much work, my epic map (as referenced in my signature) is ready to be officially unveiled. While in terms of actual land area it is about 2/3 finished, a majority of the work I have put in thus far has been on the cities, and thus it is not far from completion. Feedback before I submit it to S2 is greatly appreciated.
General Idea: Two ancient cities in the mountains look down upon a dreaded scar surrounded by a desolate and mountainous wasteland (think of the cinematic)

Strategy: All I want to say in regards to this is that the main expansion for each team is their ancient city. These should be held at all costs because they provide high ground advantage in two directions, and if you lose your city the other team has a second major access point to your base that is sheltered and on even ground. Other than that the map is fairly straight forward.

In order to truly experience the atmosphere and scope of my map (in particular the cities) I have uploaded the map in its current state. The music that is included is A_New_Earth from Savage 1, which is what I am going with for now (it seems to fit the map). You will need to start the game (as opposed to run around in warm-up) to experience the map with the music, so simply type startgame in the console (ctrl+F8) once you have it running.
