"You can get more with a kind word and a gun than you can with a kind word alone".
-Al Capone

This map centers deep in some mountains seperated by a large and treacherous valley. Although the valley holds many riches players must beware to take caution of the many paths the enemy has around the map, and decide whether it be possible to use those same paths to his advantage. There is also a wildcard in this map; located off in the bottom right and top left corners resides a 4th player starting location for each team. There are advantages of close natural expansions, and shortcuts to the enemy base, but it also acts as a double edged sword, allowing those same shortcuts to be used by a sly enemy. Use your Xel Naga towers and keep yourself informed of your enemy. This is a haven for sneak attacks. You have been warned.
