There is improper or inadequate detail in this content.

If this is a map, it could mean a problem with the lighting, texturing, geometry, or layout; try the Cube Wiki for tips on using the engine. Should it be some other form of content, then it may need to be elaborated upon to be worth something.

This map has a poor layout or one that could be improved.

The layout of a map is among the most important parts of a winning design, try making sure exotic geometry is removed or clipped and the level is open and free of dead-ends or unexplained phenomena.

Detailed description

A small, symmetrical map suited for duel, 2v2, or FFA.

[Update] 1.1 - Small geometry and clip fixes

[Update] 1.2 - Lessened the intensity of the white lighting in the map, reduced the radii of several of the green light ents, texture fix

[Update] 1.3 - Changed the stair light ents to the same RGB as the lights under the center arches, added additional white light ents in the banner rooms, replaced the yellow lights at each end of the map with white lights. Attempted to reduce the light "salad effect."

oh god its bright. and its so green! beware of the theme salad

Yes, though I actually found the light contrast appealing in places. Do you think it would be better if I made the lighting less intense?

you need to blend the lights better. there are green, purple, white lights, and the theme of the map which is an actual salad does not help unify these factors

hmm interesting map...
the lighting isnt really well, the green goo is very intense, while other lights arent or just have a very strange colour against other lights (its good to have contrast between lights, but there is a limit too. keep it natural!)
the geometry isnt very well, its pretty cube engine 1 styled...
the detailing isnt nice either. it would be a lot better when it was getting stuck to 1 theme, not like 4 (castlisch, chemical, metalic/"cube engine 1 like" and fanatic).
the texturing has the same problem, not kept to 1 theme. its nice you try to combinate different textures from different texturesets, but sometimes it doesnt turns out well, like now.
clipping/noclipping could be done much better. you can easily get out of the map by using a grenade jump.
the flow isnt bad. you can jump around pretty easily.
the gameplay isnt that bad either, even tough those wacky unnatural lighting makes it harder to concentrate.
ill give 4/10 for the map, just because the gameplay and flow isnt that bad as you would expect... but really, stick to 1 theme!

*Nice layout
*narrow for sauerbraten gameplay
*i dont understand whats the theme
*strange light
*its symmetric

try to use textures of only one theme and not mixing it...
and you could set some teleports

my vote:

6/10
