/me likes theme..
those textures look familiar too 
i would check your profile pics.. 1 doesn't work 2 are the same shot.. and they are so long i have to look on the next page to see it all 
800x600 works best.
very sweet looking though.
a word of advice, we love maps, we love maps in progress more than completed maps.. if the fanfare is not exactly what you were expecting, thats prolly it. a few of our members never learned that, and are continually disapointed in our responces.
good luck with your map.
and, welcome to the snarkpit.

Aye, that sounds like me, I always get upset about that... someday I'll learn. 
nice idea to use the walllight01 texture for "lightbows". global architecture looks nice and varied, though could be improved a bit for matching with textures here and there (like the transitions between wall and door-openings). for my personal taste i lack contrasting shadows for atmosphere, but i can imagine bright rooms make for a better deathmatch experience
nice job

| Very pretty architecture, but all except for the last shot, you're lighting is very flat. I'm not seeing any shadows in the first two pics at all! |
might be asking a bit much TB, how could he have shadows, when every square foot of the room has illuminating textures 
the outside area has a significant amount less light fixtures
you need not remove any, just decrease the bounces to 1.. make harsher light/dark lines that way.
you can also, decrease the illumination of the light textures, and put light spots close to the floors to make light/dark lines..

| So, I downloaded the map? I was shocked and dismayed to see these w_poly readings; completely unacceptable in a HL1 map. The odd thing was that it didn?t impact performance very much compared to what I experienced in Armada? |
You do realise there are maps out there where the r_speeds sore into the 2500's, and there isn't one bit of lag? 
If performance isn't affected, I wouldn't screw around with it then
a) make something good (or close to)
b) you get comments like these
c) you improve your map
d) we happy
e)you happy
f) we worship thou mapping "skills"
g)you take over world domination
h) to find out that HL2 doesn't have inbuild multiplayer
i) suicide numbers world wide rise out of tha scale

*must resist.. must...........resist.*
some one else please take over, before i blow a circuit.
[addsig]what's up doc?
oh well,
don't look at it as two-thousand-five-hundred...
look at it as a number

| Anyone care to explain the problem with my theory? |
a) It's your theory.
b) The HL engine was not designed to handle WPolies over 800. It can handle around 1500 at best.
Quadruple post?! I have no clue how this happened... My connection timed out during the post, so bleh.
