Concept: 
> The map is modeled according to a description of a location near Chelm, Poland. The style of buildings and Church is roughly described by a Polish friend of mine. All the design of structures have corresponding concept art I've drawn. Everything is modeled close to the concept, with some variance due to work arounds of limitations and FPS optimization.

Gameplay: 
> The new concept of this map that is different from the other mp maps is the element of random generated passages. (This has been cut back to fewer locations)
> The map has several passage blockages that will randomly cycle through each round or map rotation. This will result in different pass ways mostly affecting the gameplay of CTF and SD. Some elements in the map also changes randomly to give a slightly different look of this map. 
> The map is high in details, more so than the stock CoD2 maps, but due to the small size and the efficiency of the portals, the FPS is kept in acceptable range. 
> The DM and TDM gameplay flow is kept fairly in the center of the map, where spawned players can enter the intense battle in the middle faster. 
> Most of the random passages are also located in the center of the map, is where the action is. There are enough obstacles and buildings in the center to prevent massive weapon spamming, which often results in a ball of mess and high scores of over 200. The further portions of the map can host campers with a limited field of vision, which also prevents from massive camping.
