Defiant is an asymmetrical map for the new competitive Extermination gametype. I was amazed by the cool art direction from Halo Wars 2's Banished army, nading with the savage look and colors, so I decided to recreate the red-silver atmosphere of this Brute force to give birth this map. Studying the possible layouts and relying on my experience with competitive maps, I decided to create the map based just on what I got sketched on paper and forging it in less than a day, ending with a Covenant like design perfect for short and mid combat encounters.
