    There were a few things I was not able to fix. It's odd because the textures are in the .pak and theoretically should work right, but they're broken:
    the consoles in the bunker have a wireframe texture
    the cloth texture on the bunkbeds is missing
    the basetexture for the ice is missing

    What's even wierder is that if you load the map in empires 2.30 it all works perfectly.
    Trickster says the new emp patch should smooth out steampires' custom content issues which will make everything work right hopefully.



    ukgamer and dawgas have been badmouthing this map but don't listen to them because they're horrible people and should be shot

    even the missing texture looks awesome

    also you forgot to vehicle clip the hills like other maps have forgotten to do~

    it smells, trolling aside. Varbles is an excellent mapper/person and should be a dev.

    Oh man you know what was really fun about this map? Driving NF comm and an apc into the middle and defending against endless waves of BE soldiers. It was like playing marine defense or cannon defense on the first Starcraft.

    yeah, that map with the nukes and vehicle elevators in the forts/bases is snowbound. It has been put off from Viper, because nothing hinders a team from 9 mining their CV on top of the nuke silo. when they then launch the nuke it gets stuck in the cv and the cv falls into the silo :D

    just 2 big invisible walls would fix this map already :( I want it back.

    please no. the map can only be won by exploiting engine speeds. if on the other hand the doors would be removed, it could be a nice map ...

    Can the doors be made brakeable and still function?
    btw. VARBLES!! great job you did on that gate in snowstorm, it does not kill the CV when you get it stuck, maybe you should be the chosen One to unbreak snowbound.

    Elevator kills CVs,
    Nuke has collision :headshot:,
    CV can make nuke stuck and vice versa,
    Ice in the middle of the map won't break anymore :rolleyes:,
    infantry corridors leading into the bases are horrible.
    fixing that problems could make it the next duststorm/escort.

    Snowbound is awesome. The only Empires map not by shandy which allows limited terrain deformation. Nukes are dumb though. Better make them neutron bombs only killing all players in anarea, leaving vehicles and buildings intact. (but sabbing all raxes for the lulz)
