valley - A small map in a valley

This is the first version to be playtested so all feedback is welcomed. The clipping might seem a bit aggressive but its very approximate so bare with it. I took inspiration from other king of the hill maps but hopefully its not too similar to any. I also tried to balance it for all classes.

Made the map "bigger".
Smoothed cliffs.
