era's map has been a huge ugly cluster **** for years. the road layout was spastic and never made any sense. everything was randomly placed and poorly planned out. after years of many different developers making their own additions, it got way out of control.
the new one looks great. it's very well designed and clean looking. it's a breath of fresh air. people have tried to design a new map quite a few times in the past (myself included) and it never worked out. it's good to see that everyone involved has put a considerable amount of time into this project and actually stuck with it for a completed public release.
I just wanted to give props to everyone for this awesome update.
