The south-west warfare map will go live tomorrow night at midnight. The starting locations can be seen below and have been assigned randomly. However the map you see in the image below will have a few changes from last year.

There will now be a bridge connecting the top 2 islands and it will be 2 squares wide to stop HQ blocking. Also the single square to the right that was blocked off using a HQ last year will be remain but you will not be able to build on it.

Position 3 : Outcasts
Position 4 : Blade of Dawn

The end of June is fast approaching and with it comes the end of another 3 month period of warfare. There has been no news posted about objectives or map design as all 4 maps in the rotation have been designed and released now.

July 1st will see a return of the South-West Quadrant which I'm sure you can find in the wiki if you've forgotten what it looks like. I am planning a 5th map at some point to throw in to the rotation which will be totally different in game play to all the others, but it is some way off yet.

If you guys have any cool suggestions for achievements please forward them to bcfcespley. He is currently working on some new categories, including combat, hunting, working, casinos and some other stuff.

Oh and as per the blog below I got in contact with binime again.

Quit messaging me on MSN asking if I'm dead. I'm still here and bug fixing stuff, it's only work on new projects I've slowed down on. I'll have you guys know I applied for some holiday time and my boss said it was ok, after like 4 years I think I'm owed a few more months actually!

Speaking of people missing in action though, does anyone have binime added on facebook, myspace or know him in real life? He vanished from the internet a few months back, shortly after we started working on Vortex together and hasn't been seen since...
