Icy Encounter map.
The 3rd place in the first Open Map Competition.
Aurora196's map is Icy Encounter, which is non-symetric large 4 players snow map. Resources are very limited and your miners will move to the center to look for ore in the beggining of the game. There are 2 oil derricks in the center and one airfield. There are few garrisonable buildings close to the center and 3 strategic bridges. The large size of the map makes early game rushes harder. When I played against the brutal AI, their miners stopped to gather cash because the closest ore was too far. However, this map is very well made and very well textured. Here's the details:
