Description : I have been messing with the idea of making PG2 a terrain map for a long time. Every time
I made a new terrain, it jsut didn't seem to work out the way I wanted it to. It didn't have
the hallmarks of Proving Grounds: Gameplay, speed, and strategy with a very simple visual aspect.
I was talking with BladeKiller about how people keep asking for Sands to come back, but rebuilding
it from scratch is close enough to impossible that no one will ever do it. Then I realized, even though
sands was so huge, it had a solid layout... if only it were a LOT smaller. So, I used the base layout
from Sands, put it in a box double the size of the original PG and ran it.

Ladies and Gentlemen... We have a winner. Proving Grounds2: Sands

I have an extremely busy life between my wife, my job, running Clan {TRIAD}, upkeep of the clan's webpage, and
playing these games online. Somehow I still find time to do this time consuming creative map making stuff.
Ya know, someone could pay me to do these things in my spare time. (Please?) )
*** PLEASE DON'T ASK ME TO MAKE YOUR LEVEL *** I'm way too busy to work on projects besides my own.
