Synopsis:
Terrorists are angry that the locals are buying foreign fruit and cheap wine.
Blow up the market and wine cellar to show the locals that you don't mess around with imports and imposters.
Counter-Terrorists, help the locals drink and eat what they'd like. Give the terrorists a nice talking to with a .50 round to the helmet. Defuse those pesky bombs to keep your watermelons melony and your wine grapey.
A very pretty remake that a actually reminds me of zeeba's remake in that you both have a canal and both maps are very much prettier than the originals ;0
Everything looks spot-on and the detail is rich and consistent thought the map, which is always so rare to see.
There were only a few small visual distractions for me, the first is you seem to be having the same "seam" in your water at different points where it turns, just like zeeba was having, though it's only slightly noticable. (your water btw is VERY PRETTY. my water never looks that good in css, it reminds me of ep2 water!)
The second thing is just those grey plaster/brick arches in the tunnel, i would personally make them a little fatter and chamfer the edges. (i have a very easy brushwork method to get a even chamfer if you want, or you might probably alreday know ;))
Third thing is the 3dskybox, she is on the right track but she needs some more love. (as does mine from my remake!)
This map is another strong contender, i shudder to think how good the rest of the maps will be and that it will be pretty hard on the judges. I will try to play through more of the map when i get a chance!
