[CONTEST] Dawn on the Plains

Description
[b]This map was submitted for the Jan-Feb 2007 Mapping Contest. To see the winners, check our [url="/info/ContestArchives"]Contest Archives[/url].[/b]

This particular map, submitted for the [b]Intermediate[/b] skill level, had quite a few high points, but enough bugs to keep it from making it to the finalist group. I has a great overall feel to it; atmosphere is something this map definitely doesn't lack. However several missing textures and some missing ambient sounds really lowered the overall quality of the map, which is certainly a shame.

Architecturally, this map is quite the sight. The terrain, while lacking its texture, certainly shows the author's proficiency with the software, and the castle-looking structure also shows itself off quite well. The only other thing that really lowers the quality of the map is the use of very repetitive texturing and, in some cases, unfit textures. The lighting could also be better in the indoor areas.

Overall a wonderful submission, though one that could use some work in specific areas. I definitely hope to see work from this author in future contests. Just make sure to thoroughly test your maps first!
