The difficulty of tactical maneuvering consists in turning the devious into the direct, and misfortune into gain.

The test maps look good - I really like the firemadness style Hexanoia and the pryamid map "Aegytean"
Regarding Hexanoia,
I sent this to Wacko -

Wacko,
Hexanoia is a great little firemadness map - we had 5 in it and the action was perfect - later 2 of us came back and it was just as good for 2.
design/layout - I would not change a thing. The size is perfect and the movement of the hex objects is just right. If you had other ideas like 2 levels I recomend another version of the same map "Hex2" and pak them together in "Hexmadness" lol. I did this with a small king of the hill map - 2 versions with one scaled up 2x.
The textures - I like the dark industrial feel of the map, the lighting and the concrete or stone. The texture on the stairs was missing. After looking at the .map it appears you did this intentionally, maybe for a lite stair effect. I would text the structural frame and leave the rectangles around the steps themselves to get that effect - but thats just me.
sound - we use spearhead so the sound doesnt work with JVs method. With a restart we cached the sound and it was to loud - looks like the volume is turned down .5 for AA. To use this in SPearhead i make a server side fix ubersound file and the sound will be properly cached and the volume can be set accordingly.
I hope you decide to make a hex2! Not sure what you mean by second level ? (caution - not much bigger or the action will stall) If you mean simply that the Hex objects raise and lower to an additional position then you could probably achieve that with scripting a second mode. You could have it be optional or automatically kick in half way through the map.
Great one! We also liked the Aegyptean map.
Hope this helps.
