  1. Was able to play this on Insane, an aussie community server. Super super pretty, love the theme and how well detailed everything is while remaining clean and readable! I did feel like mid was tight and a little windy, and B main felt a little too simple compared to A having 4 T routes. Some routes felt claustrophobic and that gaining space required waiting out a smoke, clearing 4 angles, and getting remoked having gained a single corner. Widening some spots might help. I can see B has gone through big changes, but I actually quite liked B, but I did have thoughts on simplifying the CT route, and adding a risk reward drop route from mid. With that, I have some visuals! I absolutely adore this A long, its beautiful and flowing and readable. The only real gripe I have is with the catwalk-drop from mid. It wasnt used much in the game I played but it also felt a little out of place. The clipping over it actually stops jumps from their peak, but it also felt odd having a third route from mid leading out to the A site. I think forcing players that want to play Long, like on Dust 2, to wrap back around through mid, to outside bedroom(barn) and then re-entry into long is actually a fun gameplay element. If you ever wanted to try a version with the A bombsite larger or shifted, making part of the site visible from parts of long might be fun. A little dust2 inspo, but its fun! I also thought instead of removing this dropdown, you could somehow simplify the A con and add this as the second route from mid instead of third. Speaking of mid! I think it could be wider still - There was many rounds on both sides that involved smoking, nading and mollying around these mid corners for half the round. Anytime a smoke cleared, there was another smoke coming in, with very little way for either side to confidently take ground. Widening it so one smoke or molly isn't enough to cut mid in half might be good, forcing smokes further back towards A con or B yard, and allowing for more active mid gameplay. Might need some pushing and pulling of the edges of houses to not open up any crack angles into a con but i think it'd make it more fun. A very minor suggestion is to open up the T B route here, as most rounds this doorway would be consecutively smoked, naded, molly'd. Its a bit tight, and by opening it up a little you allow Ts to hide their head below the balcony wall to get to the otherside of the angle, but also allow some play around the smaller CT incind. A minor thing but most rounds I was T, there was no point trying this route. B site is a pretty good example of a simple site, though I wouldn't be afraid of playing with angles and widening up B main a little, perhaps adding a midsite crate or expanding the site just a little towards CT. A gripe I had and saw others fall for it too was this jump-shaped haystack that is clipped off. I actually think this would be an awesome spot to open up for players, and as you see the 4th jump... Even possibly opening up this alley and back patio as a very tight, risky route from mid to B. Requires a skill jump or boost to get to from B site, and is easily smoked or molly'd to force players to wrap through B main. I think this second attacker route would add a really fun dynamic to this site. I think it might play like window in dust2 b or drop on cobble b. CT route into B though, I'm not a fan having a barn with a few angles to clear, that opens into site, but also opens into a small lurk yard, that has a 50/50 engagement eitherside, then into another barn with a lurk corner close.. its a lot to clear to retake from CT. I think B CT could be simplified by removing that small yard between the 2 buildings, and straightening out the angles in there allowing CTs to better opt for swinging site, or moving around the side hall, similar to ancient A site with CT and temple. Those are some of my thoughts, overall I think its super pretty and was good fun! I think in places it's a little cramped, and worth widening up routes and playing with opening or closing routes. I hope to play it again real soon and get more of a feel for it. Hope this helped!
