It is bland, point in case. 3/5

What pains me is to see a map like this, a map so lacking in forging and aesthetic techniques, trump some very beautiful and remarkable maps made by other less notable members of the community. It most certainly does not take a keen observer to point out that such a map is featured because of the high status of its creator(s), and perhaps also because of their unwillingness to accept that rank does not always come with skill. This is no jab at any creator's skill or there nepotistic promotions, but rather a simple observation that helps reveal the deterioration of a community once based on merit.

Well aren't you the awesome reviewer? Yea, your review would've been valid if it weren't for two huge helpings of ignorance. For starters, look at the age of the map. It's almost a year old! A lot has changed in forging since then. The second point I'll make is that fact that you haven't PLAYED a full game on this bad boy. It plays like a mutha-fuhkin' charm. Geo-merging and interlocking never matters much. As long as the map variant plays well, it has my recommendation for feature. Obviously it doesn't have yours.
