			This map Is gorgeous. The vistas and terrain are epic in scope and filled with grandeur, bringing mars to life. Only problem is that this grandeur is ripped to shreds when you build the first unit/building. Suddenly you realize that the epic canyons and tall mountains are actually very small, and then the map suddenly gets less cool. This is quickly remedied by either A: Getting minispring or B: blowing some stuff up. The hight map is well done, the terrain deformability works great, and the unit move speeds actually impacted game play!

			=== Playability ===

			This mapÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s visuals are over matched by its game play. The canyon that runs down the middle makes for a great tank protection. The metal place meant is right, and allows for your base to have some form of structure. Even though this map is vertically challenged it is at least BIG. Really big! So massive armies and huge bases are the name of the game here, and the ensuing firefights deserve some really cool music to go along with it. There is no sea as to speak of, so your energies are best devoted to K-bots. The wide plains are good for tanks, but unfortunately they have trouble navigating the narrow, bumpy canyons that cut the map in half. The K-bot also gets a large move bonus in the canyons; witch is great for a speedy attack. LRPCs reign supreme here, with every base being easy to reach and unprotected by cover. So destroy the enemyÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s first or bring out the radar jammers! The last note id like to make is the fourth starting position is perfect for turtlers. A small island surrounded by canyons with enough room to pack in a bunch of guns. You still need to send some con units to the lower parts of the canyons for metals, but you are relatively safe from Goliaths and other large tanks. Be sure to have lots of air defense for those pesky brawlers, as small, tightly packed bases are perfect targets for these. Its about 6 mb download and its worth the
			time to download it.

	However... The metal map is like somthing out of a funky light show. It's just green dots on the ground! They obviously meant to represent metal patches, but the time was not taken to add then onto the surface map. If they would have, I would forgive them but as they are--well they do look a bit off.

			This is a very good looking map. The metal is visual when looking over the terrain. The geos are placed in good laocations all over
			the map. The mountain terrain textures look very good and they stand out. This is a very well layed out map for 4 players for
			a free for all (FFA) or teams. You should have no problem playing a 2 vs 2 or even a 3 vs 3 game. In my opinion this is a very
			good looking map and a good design.

			=== Playability ===

			When you start on this map you have metal resources and geos at your finger tips. If you layout your base properly, you should
			be able to rush the enemy base before they get their defenses built. I forsee alot of playability in this map. You can have a good
			3 vs 3 on this map. The one hosting the game can have players postions be selected in the game. This will add another level of game
			play to this map. You can have a 3 vs 3 game picking locations in the game, say team 1 on the top of the map and team 2 on the
			bottom of the map. Good team mates on a map like this can help build almost all types of structures on a map like this. I like
			nukes, anti-missile silos and Kroggie factories. Also, nukes can be used to stop large numbers rushing you. Like a offensive
			weapons against a rush attack. I would stay this is a MUST have for you maps folder. Its about 18 mb download and its worth the
			time to download it.

			This is a 5 player map and a very good design. The overall design is different then most TASpring maps. The metal and geo resources are availible
			to the players. The geos more to the middle of the map. So, you will need to go and find them. Also, all the main starting postions of the commanders
			are marked. You might say, the locations are marked with letters A, B,C,D and stuff like that. I would say this is a veryer good looking maps.

			On this you really need to plan on what you are going to do. The metal resources could have been better, but you can make metal if needed. You
			will need to decide if its a ground or air battle. In the beginning resources will be tight. Most likely a air battle or the use of planes will be a big part
			in winning on this map. Nukes can be used, but they need ALOT of resources to build them. I just finished a game with MOnG and 3 others and
			I used planes and nukes. Bottom line, I messed up .. :( i nuked a few of the players. An I wasn't watching when I was typing and messed up.
			I nuked my based when I set a rally point ... It was funny ... Back to the review ...
			I would say its a "OK" map, but new players might not like the small area to build on. You have to have a good base layout. An design your
			base to defend against alot of planes. Managing your resources is a must on this map. If you build too fast you will run out of metal or energy
			and basically you will get crushed by a good player. In my opinion this map is a must have, but I don't see to many playing with it.
