Everything looks nice, especially the Courtyard . One thing to keep in mind is that if any path at all is unnecessary, cut it out. You have four pathways into A right now, which is not only unnecessary but also basically impossible for CTs to defend. The new artwork looks good by itself, but it seems out of place there, looking modern, while the rest of the wall is run down.

I really like the seemingly never ending development though, keep up the work rate

Your detailing looks really good! Just a couple of nit picky things though:

That plaster wall is an internal structure, they don't brick it over, it's for separations internally which aren't load bearing.

I think the courtyard looks lovely without the big frame at the top. Instead you could make the roof more visible, or add some more washing lines between windows. It would look more natural that way.

Having said this I still don't think you've quite got the hang of how to balance gameplay and timings. You've got far too many routes between the same road and sites. You want 2-3 entrances per site and you don't need so many alternate pathways. It'll be impossible to hold for CTs.

Yep, I think 2 routes in at A would be the best, mayyyybe 3.

I think right now you need to get a playtest. There's only so much people can see from pictures of the layout.

That courtyard looks a lot nicer!

What problems are you having with the radar?

I found this to be of use:

If you use paint.net you can save the radar image as a "DirectDraw Surface" (.dds) file. It will flatten all your layers, but that's what valve require for it to work.

I'll give you my map text file as well in case that's a problem for you:

// Overview: scale 3.70, pos_x -1875, pos_y 1834


"de_stupa_v9"
{
	"material" "overviews/de_stupa_v9"
	"pos_x" "-1875"
	"pos_y" "1834"
	"scale" "3.7"
	
	"CTSpawn_x" "0.77"
	"CTSpawn_y" "0.25"


	"TSpawn_x" "0.13"
	"TSpawn_y" "0.77"
	 
	"bombA_x" "0.37"
	"bombA_y" "0.10"


	"bombB_x" "0.82"
	"bombB_y" "0.73"
}

Do not add _radar to the end of any of the references to your map in the text document. That's what I did wrong a while back and you miss it because it looks like it makes sense.

Also, to use pakrat, try this step by step imgur album: http://imgur.com/a/0mlW0

Good luck!

Looks good, but I think you should playtest this first before delving further into visuals.

i could prepare the map for playtesting, but i have issues when i try to pack the radar.

here's a small guide on how to pack radar properly http://imgur.com/a/0mlW0

Or he could release some new screenshots

Those large metal doors in the last screenshot don't really match the aesthetic of the flats/apartments around it

Like this being very cute.

All you had to say with the first picture was not ubiques the bombsite so close to each other, because it assumes that when terrorists planted in A and CT are covering all B, should take them time to get to A.
When a bombsite this side by side, the ct takes 5 seconds to reach tue other bombsite... and fun ends

Good work friend, you follow inspired!

Now I want to play through the streets of Lithuania

If you've ever been to Lithuania the doors do match

some new pics, this time i've revamped the bottom of the map, including the bombsite A. Now its a garden. Ignore the crappy shadows, since i've did a normal compile

Just tick Disable Shadows as yes on prop settings (window models specifically), it will not remove shadows, but it will remove the blobs of lighting.

No need to change compile settings!

Looking really beautiful so far by the way. Keep up the good work.
