It's been a long time since I've posted screenshots and actual criticism in map threads. I hope this is a trend that I start to get back into.
1.
These death cliffs, they feel really unnecessary. It'd just be infuriating to come out of my spawn and get airblasted or knocked off the cliff - it'd feel like a cheap death. Even if you want to have it so that it can fit in thematically with the map, you could always just fence it off with a body-height fence - it'd get the message across and still allow players to look out.
2.
Make this entire area ramped. Dunno why it isn't.
3.
Mildly frustrating - it might have been said before, but I'll just repeat it because I definitely noticed it.
edit: Ah, you're fixing it - just noticed in the screenshot. Ah well, I'll leave the image in anyways because of Shaq.

About the engineer... I really felt that engineer was great on this map with the Wrangler and not fun at all without. This was definitely a powerful spot for a sentry with the wrangler, since you have all of that area to look down on, and you get a perfect view of the house and most of the area inside of it.

This is one of the very, very few spots where a sentry would be viable without being guided by a wrangler. Because of the map's lack of sentry spots where I could just drop my sentry, have it be useful, and walk around and fight the other team, I felt like I had to constantly babysit my sentry and use the wrangler - not much fun for me. Maybe you should add some engineer spots that aren't able to be easily taken down by just walking backwards a bit and shooting?
Can't wait to get a reply from Flame saying that engineer sucks and that it's good that they're underpowered - I mean, it's not like anyone actually plays that class, or uses it.
Also, the map in general felt very similar to Viaduct. There's the control point on the hill that ramps up like that, the rocks that split the main pathway up in two, the areas that overlook the point (pic 4). Doesn't mean that it's bad, but I always like seeing new designs that work in maps.
Shaq is always relevant.
