Here's a Preview of the map.

Yeah, I like the map, and it would be great to have it on CTWF.

Btw, nemosultae, is there any way you can make your map previewer accept resource strings and then automatically download the map from http://resource.armagetronad.net/resource/$STRING?
Oh, and the source code download just gives me a 404.
There's no place like ::1

Nice map idea.

One problem I've found with maps like this, with many small openings to the fortress area, is that the defender only has to block the opening which the attacker is trying to get through. This makes it very hard to attack against, a good defender will simply not let you through. Makes for a frustrating finale.

I do like the different tunnels, would make some interesting sub battles within them.

If it were me and I wanted a Bugfarm style finish, I would open up the area surrounding the fortress, thus making defending a little tougher, maybe even set the tail length to 300 to make it interesting.

Make these changes and I'll happily try it out in Wild Fortress.
