Well you are posting some pictures of progress with no questions so we assume you're still working on that and looking forward to see new versions.
If you had questions or showed detailed screenshot rather than "preview" picture we would react :)

Full snow, going to add some craters or something on the sides


this map look pretty similar as one of my concept :D amazing, how 2 people go independently in nearly same time (my concept is from 4.2.16) go in very similar concept.

Yup. Asymmetric L3DT project #2954, it was supposed to play a bit like Zock's fav map, Open Palms. I was always too lazy to do it right though so its awesome to see someone else taking on the challenge. I like the new colour scheme too! I'm intrigued Gorton is such a fan, I thought he didn't play!

My only really constructive comment would be that I think the central plateau should either be more defined with some small cliffs or smoothed out even more so its less visible and less bad for laser units. Same goes for the starting plateaus too, I wanted them to be defensive like the mountains on Open Palms to encourage the game to go on a little bit longer than it might have otherwise. If I were redoing the map now I would probably put a small mountain along one edge of the start zone to make it look a little more natural too (a ridge running parallel to the large central mountains).

Well, as it stands right now they are just slopes and not blocking unit paths/buildings, i would ask for some playtests but it is a struggle with no upload button, still we press on
