Comments: This map is well layed out, it has a more expansive terrain than most others, making it more like a Westwood map. This means it is good for tank rushing. It has plenty of ore, but one problem is it has one tech building on each side, and the side which gets the Tech Derrick has a large advantage over the other side.

-> Braddoc's Review:
Original Concept: 18/20 –
- Well done, I like the cliffs as well.
Balance: 15/15 –
- You did a great job; the map is balanced almost perfectly. (nothing is perfect.)
Eye Candy: 29/30 –
- Great job, your texture is right on and your cliffs look natural. The terrain fluctuates nicely as well!
Fun Factor: 19/20 –
- I had a great time, it’s a brilliant team map. It’s fast paced as well!
Triggers: 10/15 –
- You lacked ambient sounds in some places, but the game play made up for it. Nicely done!

- A nice way to finish the judging. The map is well-made, uses lighting very well, is full of detail and fun to play.
-> Flak's Review:
Original Concept: 19% - Really good, very original concept.
Balance: 14% - It's fair alright, just a bit annoying if you aren't team-mates with the guy right beside you.
Eye Candy: 28% - A bit bright in some places, apart from this though it's very well detailed.
Fun Factor: 14% - If played online this would be an awesome map due to the Left vs Right layout, however because the AI doesn't know how to make alliances in RA2 it can be a bit irritating in Skirmish with 3 computer opponents.
Triggers: 10% - Some sounds put to good use.
Total: 85/100
-> Lion's Review:
Original Concept: 16/20 Realistic layout in this Temperate map.
Eye-Candy: 24/30 Nice cliff work and texturing for the terrain.
Fun Factor: 16/20 Fun factor is high...good team based map. No problems with AI.
Balance: 12/15 Overall balance is good and equal for each player.
Triggers: 12/15 Triggers Work
Total: 80/100
