i like this layout the best of your maps so far

the ground kinda looks like ice in that first screeny - would be sweet if we could have reflective detailtex

Nice map, btw stop making them for Car. You'll make him feel special and we don't want that.

Nice1!

Texture is good. Doesn't look like ice to me, but the bumpwater lakes seems odd. They look like they are above the ground. I suggest you to make the lakes more deep and drop down the water level!

Now that I noticed it myself, Every map you made this far with water seem to have same kind of issue. Gives me memories far back in Voivittu. The water level in every of these maps is almost same as the height of the plateus/flats. Try to separate the beach area from flatlands, otherwise it will give you unnatural feeling of swamps or floodplains and in play, can result in outcome where after nukes and comexplosions your map turns into a sea...

We had an agreement. He was supposed to make me one 7way map. It just took him three tries to finally get the one I asked for.

It's a lovely map and fills an absent niche.

The art is obviously flawed as described above, but better than most maps, so I can't complain.

My only complaint: look at the map. You can see the repeating pattern, right?

So why not get that repetition into tiles that are a multiple of 32x32 and let the Spring tiler optimize it for you and crush that filesize a bit?

Whatever it is supposed to look like, It looks not very good...

The pools just look very unnatural. I assume they're impassably deep, right? If they were interconnected with a network of shallow rivers, it might look more beleivable.

Well if you all like to criticize so much join #mapping and i will show off maps before i compile them!!!!!
m tired of recompiling maps tons of time because i forget the settings and the map is released.
Anyone interested in helping mappers join mapping channel otherwise spare me the critic.
This thread is not for that.

You have two choices:

- Improve your map by changing and recompiling it 999999 times.
- Don't improve it and don't recomplile it.

Go for option one.
