Finally done! The idea is a head to head clash for control of the capitol. Blue gets the Washington Monument and green gets the capitol building. There are various bunkers, trenches and other means of tactical gameplay built right in. This map took me about 20 hours total from initial sketches to release pictures and is (to my belief) to be my best map yet. If anyone is going to host this on their server, please give me the address because I would love to see how it plays.
This map is in progress!!! I just want to gauge the level of interest.
The basis for this map is the washington mall. I did a basic outline/blueprint thing so you guys can see what I am thinking. The rectangular section would contain all the buildings but the blue is water (about a 5 block drop or so to encourage some tunneling).
Here is an update on what I have done. Note that I have not actually loaded this into aos so none of the shadows have generated (hence why it is hard to see any details).
Tell me what you think and tell me I am not wasting time ;) !
Progress (red = not started, green = done): Blueprint
South side- USDA building Freer gallery of art Smithsonian institution Arthur Sackler gallery and national museum of african art (two tiny buildings under smithsonian) Art and industries building Hirshorn museum Air and space museum American indian museum Botanic gardens
North side- National gallery of art east building National gallery of art main building National gallery of art sculpture garden Museum of natural history Museum of american history
Misc- Washington monument Capitol building Various bunkers and cover in the main mall Trees

Looks like it could turn out to be a cool map. Good job so far.

Yeah, this seems fun. Sort of like that goon assault map just with proper buildings and whatnot.

Thanks, I got some more free time today (not sure how but I am not going to question it) so I am hoping to start and finish the north side as well as start some of the middle fortifications.
