Quiescence (dormant), is a map designed around a large, single volcano in the center of the map. Skiing is encouraged, as the map is generally designed to allow as much on every side of the volcano. The peak is dormant, so no lava is present. However, if you happen to fall through the maw of the volcano, it will a bit of work to get back out, making you an easy target for a time. Generators are located far from the bases, so protecting them will be a priority. This is a simple map, designed to be fast and furious--big enough for 64 players, but just as fun with 32.

Interesting and unique design. Fun skiis down the volcano, but all else requires vehicles for effectiveness. One gen is disc spammable from a distance, making it meaningless, but there's another gen so it doesn't matter. Towers are connected to main gen power, which should be reconsidered. Some skiable terrain around the the volcano would be ideal. Flags are not centered. Great work, but unfinished and not quite tested, imo.

I see that this map maker has only this map on this here at tribes2maps. If this is his first map, then I look forward to future offerings from this guy. I love to ski, and the mountain in the middle of the map has the best skiing slopes I've ever played in Tribes2. I love the volcano idea as well. It's a breeze for a scout to get out, but be careful heavys becuase it's much harder to get out. I think he should have used some other structures--perhaps some home made ones, but the ones he used worked fine. The map is a little sparse, and could have used some more vegetation and the likes, but it's a damn beautiful map regardless (just look at the screenshots). I've only played this with a few buddies, but I'd sure like to see some servers support it. I'd love to play it with a full game of players. Great map! Make more!

The volcano is pretty deep and has a busted up tank w/ a heavy at the bottem. The fighting between the forward towers should knock off a few people into it. The generator location is an interesting idea, especially since no repair pack spawns near them. I liked the slopes and got a speedy 250kph going down them. One bug: On the inferno side the vehicle station is actually 2 stations on top of each other.
