So, i've been playing this. It already looks nice, but i think there are a few problems. Because of the size of the map and the length of the flanks, felt that it was always possible for RED to flank around me when i was pushing as BLU. Especially in the first round, when i was playing an Engineer, i'm pretty sure that there were more people in my back than in my front. Some of the flank layout seems like it was made exactly to provoke that kind of gameplay. Per example at the last forward spawn, the stairs of the upper flank start in the complete other direction than the direction i want to go when getting out of the spawn.
Also, some of the flanks seem to lead so far away from the cart that noone was really using them. The primary example would be the RIGHT flank from BLU first spawn. I walked through there for a few times and never met anyone else there until it leads back to the main route about 2(?) capture zones later.
I really think that this map looks and plays promising, but i also have the feeling that you could remove quite a bit of gameplay space without losing much, because there is simply not anything going on there except for a rogue dude flanking completely around the attackers every now and then.
*edit: Changed left to right. Sorry.

After 7 months I have released a14 of hinden! this is a complete remake of the previous version taking references from both the original and the remake, this version will also try to fix the length problem and give a more push and teamwork based playstyle while giving classes a better performance.
