NEWS: New release for MC 1.4.6+ fixing that annoying spawn problem as well as preventing fishing rod heists and tweaks enchantments in light of MC 1.4.6 enchantment nerfs.
Many thanks to the Yogscast, Bertie and GameChap for a ridiculously entertaining romp through the map. If you're here because you enjoyed the show and want to try Uncivil for yourself, you're in the right place! (And the map's updated, so you won't have to deal with those stupid respawning glitches.)
The RMCT Finals were just held on this map a few days ago between RFW teams 3 Pros 1 Cup and Professional Minecraft Engineers, and the match was one of the best I've seen since I first released Uncivil Engineering almost one year ago. Videos are available on the RMCT#3 bracket here (under "Attachments", found by clicking to the left of the finals match).
Additionally, Uncivil Engineering is also part of the Champions of the Map title match series! To date, six championship matches have been played; in the latest, the Asian Mofos ended the Cubists' remarkable 5-win streak!
The map should be usable in MC 1.4.6+ without any issues. Do post here if you happen to encounter any problems!

Overview
--------
This is my first RFW (Race for Wool) map. Designed for two teams of four players using Minecraft 1.3.2, Uncivil Engineering features two mirrored 8-block-wide parallel lanes full of challenging terrain and varied dangers. Amid the mobs and obstacles lie three dungeons, each of which will provide players with one color of wool. Bring all three wool blocks back to your Winner's Wall and complete it to claim victory. Unlike in some other RFW maps, resources are scarce here; in particular, there are only 10 diamond blocks available in each lane, and grabbing them will take considerable effort. To be successful on this map, your team will need to do some strategizing.
The three wool dungeons are as follows:
The 10,000 Block Pyramid: Navigate six darkened mob-friendly rooms cluttered with considerable riches. But the myriad gold ore may be more of a hindrance than a resource. The real prize? The Yellow Wool.
Curtain Call: Six lava walls lie directly between you and your goal. If you can get through the deadly liquid--and a handful of other annoyances--the Orange Wool is waiting for you.
Gridlock: Full of pitch-dark pitfalls, the final wool dungeon is actually non-linear. Find the three Obsidian Beacons and light each of them with redstone torches; only then can you claim the Red Wool!
Throughout the map, you'll find resources and items to assist you in both retrieving the wool and keeping your opponents from doing so. You'll also be presented with two unique opportunities to receive particularly valuable items:
Mutually Assured Generosity: Found between the Pyramid and Curtain Call, the smiling Mutually Assured Generosity Station contains storage carts with valuable items, including the map's only Blaze Rods. With just the press of a button, you'll be given one of those helpful carts. The catch: your opponents will get a cart too, and theirs will be slightly better! The MAG Station will dispense only one cart for each team for the entire match, so think carefully about pressing that button.
Bonus Vault: Floating at the very end of the lane, the Bonus Vault's storage carts hold the best loot on the map, including enchanted diamond armor and three Ender Pearls. Claiming it won't be easy--you'll need to build a bridge over nothingness to the Vault's exterior, where you'll need 24 redstone torches (and most likely a diamond pickaxe) to open the vault and claim your prize. However, only the first team to open the Vault will be rewarded--the second team won't get a thing.

Just afterward, a steep drop. It's over 40 blocks--make your way down carefully! Also (partially) visible are the start of the 10,000 Block Pyramid and some caves with valuable ore.
Past the Pyramid, the Mutually Assured Generosity Station. Beyond it are Curtain Call and the bottom of a cavern area containing redstone ore, among other things...

After the cavern area, some trees and a small building which might've been powered by that bedrock pipe somehow. That pipe's broken now, but there just might be something waiting for you inside the fallen pipe piece...
Following the brick building and Gridlock, the final dungeon, the map comes to an end at the floating Bonus Vault. Will you try for its riches?Download now! (Uncivil Engineering v1.4, 571 KB, 1/14/2013)
Enjoy!
Special thanks to Vechs, the delightfully demented fellow whose Super Hostile series was the genesis of the Complete the Monument map genre, the direct ancestor of the Race for Wool concept. If you haven't tried those maps, do it! You won't be disappointed.
Also, thanks to Reddit's MCTourney subreddit, which inspired the creation of this map and served as the venue for this map's beta releases. In particular, thanks to ecarter32 and Freckleears for their reviews and criticism, which I used to help refine the map.
