Short description: 12x12 map featuring 3 different tile sets intermixed.
Size: 12x12

Story Line:  For as long as this place has existed, the planets inhabitants believed the location sacred, and that the water had some mystical properties that lead to the myth that it brought eternal life.  Now the forces of the Arm and Core converge on the place, but it isn't for the water. The area closest to the pool is rich in resources, and he who controls that area can then control the walls of the cliffs surrounding it.  And maybe the water is good for something after all....


Authors Note:  OK, here's the skinny.  this map pretty much sucks with computer AI's becasue they all rush to the middle and blow each other away (at least with CD AI from 3.1 patch - I didn't try with any other AI's).  But for match play, it really should open up the options.  Oh, and to give away 1 secret about the map...Bertha's in the corners can't reach the cliff edges - and vice versa....

Enjoy

Oh, and a special TA Thanx to Strike7 and Stretos who've been monitoring my experimentation with the "blended" tileset look, and giving me a good amount of feedback.
