[/center][center]Hidden deep within the very cliffs of the Begorn mountains this ancient Nali templecomplex remained untouched by the foul presence of the Skaarj.
Now as the planet been overrun' by a greater demon, the vast rooms of the bath give place to a sport done by the pale-skinned-came-from-the-stars.
Once a haven of the Tori'Ni Nali tribe now it's the home of filth.

WIP shot#1
The upper floor in a very early stage.
Note that there's no Skybox, proper lighting, texture work, geoemtry.
The point of this image is to show off the map's theme.
WIP shot#2
Another WIP area, not that much to see.

WIP shot#3
I tried not to use trees and plants but I can't force myself to not populate my maps with massive ammounts of vegetation.
So, the central pool in a very early stage. Note that there are no light sources placed.
WIP shot#4
The very first light source.
WIP shot#5
First time runnin' in UT.
WIP shot#6

Extra#1
The very first and basic foundation of the map.
Extra#2
I made a very basic edit of the original SkyCity skybox textures to fit the map more. White towers with blue domes.
Extra#3
MUSIC!
It's a custom map my friend Kajgue showed me, but I couldn't use it first, since he didn't remember the exact place he got it from, so I had to look for the original autho and ask him if I can use it. I did.
It's from Newgrounds.
Check it out here:

Made by a guy called "montehawks". Here is his profile: https://montehawks.newgrounds.com/
He said I'm free to use it for this map. Thank you!
(I'll add this to the opening post)
Extra#4
Here's a few extra, concept maps I made before the final layout. Testin' buildings, textures...
Heavily experimental stuff. Some collectors may find it interestin'.

THIS POST HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE FIRST OPENING POST![/center]
My reviews and scores:
It's not jealousy if you meant me up above. It was not nogardilaref It was pointed to. Nevermind. I don't care. I can't force myself to care.
There is some serius shit goin' 'round in the background. Throwin' it at people's face.
Here's my vote, with some extras.
I'll post screenshots, so you can see how I saw your maps. You'll know what I saw and what I didn't.(NOTE THAT THE SCREENSHOTS ARE A BIT DARKER THAN THE INGAME LOOK!!!) NONE of the maps will be tested usin' Chaos. All of the maps were grabbed from the contest thread.
[center]Le Impact Frag - CTF-CMC-HellScape[/center]
This map is a perfect example of how basic geometry is able to deliver such a nice experience. While bots weren't "on the top", the interestin' theme, fittin' music and well-thought layout makes this map awesome!
[center][/center]
[center]Terraniux - MH-CMC-PartyCrashers[/center]
A map that stands out from the rest of the entries in a lot of aspects. First because it's a Monsterhunt map, not one with a (let's call...) "standard or stock" gametype. While an MH map is harder to make than a stock one, this one delivers every aspect pretty well.
The bots were doin' their job nicely, clearin' the infested streets.
The overall feelin' is AAA thanks to the medieval setting, the awesome soundtracks, and all the decorations you can see all 'round.

[center]Silver Sound - DM-CMC-Constantine[/center]
Another map with basic brushwork, but rewardin' visuals nice play and atmosphere! Bots do know their way 'round too.
Sweet layout!
[center]Papercoffee & Jack Griffin - DM-CMC-MansionOfChaos[/center]
Well. The use of static meshes and the codin' behind it must be brilliant. With almost no offline(bot) support, the map is still playable thanks to the layout changin'. It looks a bit basic on the mappin' side, etc... The execution could've been better, but stone me if I'm not right. You may had serius limitations there.
(My image grabber didn't capture the snowy wind effect goin' on the background)
[center]XaNKoNII - DM-CMC-Lords_Of_TheVoid[/center]
One of those maps I was waitin' like crazy to play! It looked so interestin'! Well, It turned out to be a interested indeed.
Nice brushwork came with an interestin' but a bit underthought layout. You managed to deliver one of the best feel in the competition, with big dudes watchin' your step in the torn ruins of an ancient temple. Superb!
Hope you'll add more rooms and corridors, pathways, shortcuts later!
You've got the chance to make somethin' really-really outstandin'!
Enjoy the scenery!
[center]memsys - DM-CMC-ChaosKeep[/center]
The best layout with an awesome feelin', beautiful brushwork and excellent look overall. A bit blank tho, BUT it's just my opinion. I'm a plant-and-overgrown maniac so... I may be a bit infatuated.
[center]ExpEM - DOM-CMC-NaliPsyence[/center]
I really liked the theme you choose for the pack as a fan of the Unreal universe. The overall look, layout is just great. Everythin' is well thought, but then again, it's a bit blank for me. Plants again. INFATUATIOOOON.
Superb work.
(These pics were taken from another UT install, since it kept crashin' on my "usual-one".)
[center]nogardilaref- CTF-CMC-Kullrena[/center]
The best brushwork with excellent visuals in an unplayable form.
It's a very grand design which you didn't succeed to finish in time. Neither did I.
I hope we'll see the final version soon!
A bit too much on the corona side. Less is more sometimes!
[center]makemeunreal- DM-CMC-Letitia[/center]
My map. Which has zero points so far. I'm no longer thinkin' that it's inferior to any of yours. It turned out to be a very nice lookin' lil map.
It definetely has it's flaws like the corrupted .umx file which I was not allowed to change, some unfinished areas, and it's pretty resource-eatin'.
You guys may not, but others gave it a very nice welcome.

It's clear to see what's goin' on in the background.
