captured some prominent scientists and are try to extort large sums of money for their safe return.

Objective:
------------
CT Team: Move swiftly to the other side of the map & enter the ancient mountain fortress to rescue the hostages from their jail cells. Then take them safely to the "Knight's Temple" or "Alter of Time".
Terrorists: Your objective is to keep the CT team out of your fortress. Kill them all!

Intro
------------
By way of introduction, I am "Redclaw" and I have spent the last 4 years mapping for AVP2. I also served as a map reviewer for PlanetAVP.
About 6 months ago I jumped in the Half Life 2 and CounterStrike arena feet first. It's been a total blast and I love the HL2 world.
If play AVP2 and would like to check out those maps please PM me.

Installation
------------

Unzip the files cs_ancient_arctic_ruins_v1.bsp:
Steam\Steamapps\<>\counter-strike source\cstrike\maps\

WARNING
------------
Changing the map name from "cs_ancient_arctic_ruins_v1.bsp" to anything else will cause
all the special visual effects (specularity) to stop working as the cubemaps have been compiled
for this map filename only. Basically the map will look like crap if you change it's name.

Pros: A really unique, and good looking map. Nice theme, and layout creation. There are not much snow maps, and this is going in our cycle for sure :)
Cons: Maybe the ambient sound in the open area. Its a little annoying after a while.
Improvements: Maybe something with that wind sound... make it a little more silent, or so that it comes less often.
Notes: If you would place a stargate somewhere, it would be even more popular :D

Thank you for fixing it!

I've replaced the excessive "-s" with the <hr> tags. It does the same thing, but it won't stretch the author's notes field.

Thank you very much for the feedback and the assesment!

Yeah I knew about the bad spawn point but I added an extra one in the map so it would be a true 16 vs. 16. I got frustrated with the spawn point as it was actually showing up in an area with no spawn points. I don't think it will effect gameplay. Thanks again!

This map is simply a little masterpiece imo. The atmosphere and the quality in all mapping aspects are awesome. I wished sometimes there would be a gungame map just with the outside area. BTW theres one invalid spawnpoint ( i forgot to copy it out ), but if yu start the map locally youŽll see it in the console.

Anyway, keep up the good work man.
