Last picture: half life 2 prop for the elevator, also, make it so the elevator moves on touch, or just at a certain delay, because pushing buttons or shooting them is not good for tf2.
Also, your texture alignment, because there is ground dirt at the middle of a wall :p
For the capture points, i suggest putting 1 in the both tops of castles, 1 in the bottom of the castles, and make a mini castle in the middle of the map, and put there the middle cap.

The thing you have to worry about the most would be that all the texture are the same, no variation :(

Have yet to play it, but from the screenies it appears to be one heckuva sniper-fest. maybe add some heavy displacements or rock models around the center for cover?

It'll be hard to optimize unless you split the map in two, perhaps with mountains/caves in between? Look at ctf_aerospace for what Arhurt is going through trying to optimize his map.

The Asylum

I think it could benefit from some winding underground tunnels. Just looking at the surface of the map would make any Sniper main drool, and a Pyro main cry.

I dunno. For me, the weird awning thing on the front of each base ruins the look. Also, considering you stuck to a somewhat realistic look for the castles, the middle "bridge" structure seems out of place to me. If you do that, it might look better having mountains on either side there with the bridge in-between. Otherwise you might want to think about alternative solutions.
