Stellar. Yep, that pretty much sums up the this map. If Led Mirage keeps this up, he'll quickly 
become THE homeworld map maker. 

The layout of the map is a huge leap over IX Field Dispute. I guess Led Mirage learned out to make 
maps using the z axis very fast, because this map has about as much use of it as Tree of Life. The 
layout has all the markings of being great. Plenty of resources, but arranged in a pattern that makes 
battles over them happen fairly often. The need to us the Z axis is clear as soon as you enter the 
map, and really spices things up. 

The background for the map is just plain awesome. The two moons are HUGE, and look like they 
belong in the maps theme. Of course, these moons also grow in size as you get closer to them. One 
of the cooler things about homeworld....and this map take full advantage of it. 

The gameplay is actually decided totally by what you do. If you set around and hog resources, then 
you can have a nice, slow, long game. But on the other hand, you also can have a very quick game. 
The map seems to be made so that it can easily accommodate your playing style. Best of all is how 
this map just made me to want to play more! I played this map in two skirmishes with the CPU, and 
3 games on WON, and i'm still wanting to go back for more. Not many homeworld maps seem 
to be able to get that effect. 

The Originality of the map is great. The layout and background is totally original, and show that Led 
Mirage knows how to make a map good. This is what a map should feel like. Like it is really the 
finished product of at least several hours of hard work. 

The only problem is that you do not start out with a research ship. This is a little annoying. You'll 
also notice those light defenders are there again. They aren't so bad in this map, since it generally isn't 
as fast paced, but still. 

All in all, this map rocks. A must have!
