I don't really have any strong feelings one way or another on this map. It's really nice, but it feels kinda plain. I feel like the gameplay would be alright, but not necessarily great. I'm just going to vote a 0, leaning towards a [BCOLOR=#00ff00]+1[/BCOLOR]

Question: Would this map do better as an Infection map, do you think?

I think that it would do better as an Infection map personally, so I'd +1 if it were infection.

Personally, I wouldn't mind having this map as zombie, but here is my sum up of the map so far.
The overall aesthetics of the map is ok. Its a bit bland and plain, but acceptable. Maybe a bit more variation on the terrain could help. However, the main issue with the map is the chests.

There appear to be quite few chests on the map, and the ones which are there are usually in non-standard places. For example, very few of the houses have chests inside. However, the real problem is the balance. The chests on the surface are almost useless, whereas the chests in the hidden areas of the map are extremely overpowered in comparison. The hidden areas are often also fairly hard to find, which gives players who know the design of the map a huge advantage. Also, many of the areas have only one way in or out, which could lead to camping. E.g. the house which as far as I can see can only be accessed by the potion room up a ladder.

Once the balance is sorted out, I would be happy to give a positive rating, however at the moment I'll have to say
-1

Thank you for your feedback! I will begin working on these suggestions as soon as tonihht hopefully! I have been having issue with my imternet these past few days. It woll work tonight or tomorrow as far I know!

I will begin working on these suggestions as soon as tonihht

Anyhow, I like the map itself and I'm fine with the kits. Mainly what I'm concerned about is that the chests are in odd areas. I won't say too much more, because Computer covered that pretty well. In addition to what he said, I would honestly like to see a bit more block variation in the ground, but maybe that's just me.
I won't vote until I see the changes though, just wanted to give my opinion on the map so far.

Hi Aika,

After strolling through your map for a little while I noticed (what others said before me) that it's very plain, yes it has hills but it's all netherrack. Then I would like if you spent a little bit more time on the interior since it looks a bit left behind (

Spoiler: as seen here

Further I like the variation of kits, especially the Ashes kit. That's why my vote will be a 0 but if you improve the interior and terrain I will change it to a +1

yours sincerely,
Mastersten
