ok since i promised this though never quite got to it and Crashking keeps calling me on it XD heres a review.
Layout: 8.5/10 it was a nice snowy layout. But for some reason it needed something though i can't quite tell what it is.
Detail: 9.5/10 very nicely detailed for a snow map. Great job.
Lighting: 8/10 Classic Snow map lighting. The lighting around the river even after being toned down like you said it was is still just a tad too much IMO. also i think you couldav had a bit more ambiance around the map. This could have been achieved with possibly small towns scattered around. (due to the alpha light posts in them of course)
Game-play: 9/10 the game-play was fairly good. Hit by the 2 closest AIs. Kinda funny actually.....it seemed like the AIs that attacked other AIs worked in a clock like pattern the either all went and attack the one to the left and or right XD
Overall: 8.75/10 a great map just needed some more to make it an excellent map IMO. your still getting better so just keep up the great work.
happy now Crashy?
