This map is fully functional and aesthetically pleasing in an odd way. It's monochromatic, yes, but I believe there's beauty in this more somber theme. It reminds me of Katuhiro Otomo's Steamboy or even the sepia tones of Breaking Bad. Color is very important, as it directly affects emotion and response. This gray-and-purple theme suggests a sense of desolation and distance from nature, which would make sense for a map called Badlands. This is the second time the map's been up for a vote; it was denied last time for a lack of terraforming and variation. This new version has fixed this problem, and it's also diversified the color while keeping within the boundaries of the theme.
It's a lovely map, and it brings an unusual atmosphere to RoF. I'd love to see it in rotation!
