First impressions when starting this map were like "Whoa, this map looks cool!", but it didn't take long to discover that this kind of map needs a lot to run. Don't bother to try this map out if you haven't got at LEAST athlon/p3 with 128mb ram and a decent display adapter. Enough of this subject anyway. Well how does it play then?

I honestly couldn't get a grip to the flow due to the huge hardware requirements. This map is also a very dark one. Gothic maps need shadows and such but this goes over the limit. I had to max the brightness from UT and monitor to find my way around in this one. The map is based on a theme, where a large castle and cathedral are facing each other in a canyon. Control points are in both buildings, and the third one is in a "tower" beetween them. The huge distances slow down the pace a bit, and the map doesn't get as chaotic as domination maps usually do. As I mentioned before, this map does look just wonderful, and much like the original Unreal maps, as it uses original Unreal textures instead of UT ones. Even if you haven't got a decent cpu, you still may like to check this map out for it's looks. However, this map probably doesn't make it into public map rotations for some time. At least not before 2nd Space Beacon has became playable =)
