Complete Sidewalk's Map Submission - Skyhold

I mean it looks really good

 

Put a sponge at the ladders at the bottom to get to the second lower tower

 

Honestly it looks great, but my only concern (that I can see through pictures) is that it's way too big and it would take a long time to cross the map. I would atleast put sponges on the castle that go half way across the bridge (or farther) so players can atleast have a headstart.

 

Unholy faith 2: electric boogaloo

You're gonna get a LOT of archer spam at either end of the bridge, it's cool that you're thinking outside the box (and you're a great builder) but I think you need to get a better grasp of the gameplay

 

It seems to me that you've taken a lot of inspiration from other games. While that's not inherently bad, you need to consider the gameplay balance of CTF. Big castles and long bridges over valleys make for a pretty magnificent looking map, but there are already multiple large issues regarding classes like Soldier, Archer and Engineer.
Aesthetically, the map looks great. You might want to work on making the mid look a little smoother, though.
The biggest issue is the download. As far as I know, maps can only be built on the Build server. When Build was implemented, they stopped using world downloads.
I really hate saying this bc I know you put in a lot of effort to make this map.

 

There's a very low chance that the map will be accepted when it's not on Minecraft Build.

 

I think here are two things that would go well with this map.
Add another bridge but make this one lower and kind of far away from the other one also have some form of cover that would go well with the design of the map (more on that later)
Now this is kind of a crazy idea but I think it would be cool to add to the lore that the ground and certain things around it are erupting. Not like a volcano more like being lifted up and floating. basically this effect will only be on one half of the map (the half that you would add the other bridge on) this would add:

1. Hardcore Parkour! (on floating pieces of the bridge and ground) creating hectic parkour and cover to both the bridge and ground layer.
2. Cover! floating places will make awesome cover and add a whole cool new element to the game.
3. Visuals! It will probably look badass

ye so this is my ideas it might take a little to build run it by nom or someone you could make it like a 2.0 or something of the map is having trouble with balance issues and stuff. ctf needs more cool maps. you could call it like "Skyhold Rising"

 

What would really make this map interesting is an underground secret pathway. That would spice it up. Like behind painting, and then tunnel leads through mid and it ends at the bridge end, then have a stair well to get up then BOOM.

 

Thats something that you have to think about

 

Highly unlikely. The map looks ok, it lacks detail it certain places but still quite good. The huge walls are way too soldier op, if a soldier gets the flag they can just wallspam on every wall. The terrain is also quite soldier op. Another problem with this is that the bridge has little cover and is the only decent way of getting across. Archers will be having a field day. If players were to go on the terrain beside the bridge, they would get sniped off as there is little to no cover. These are common problems in maps but this map is just on another level like unholy faith.

You also said that certain maps make players not work together. This isn't true, if you get a nice group of players, they can work together well. Teamwork is more player dependent than map dependent.

 

You tried to do what I did with my Shaped By Glaciers Map. The map was Aysemtrcial and consisted for large hills and a huge waterfall with an ocean. Point is, I have learned that making game changing maps isn't what Brawl needs. It you want to make a map like this, first get 3-4 Maps accepted into game play. You'll quickly learn that although the map may look beautiful, it is horrible for gameplay. You have good intentions, but people are not very team oriented. Lots of minecraft players do much better when they roam alone. Teams are for groups of friends who want to play togeather on TS, not strangers in a difficult map who are forced to play with one another. I do like you map, and maybe it can be used in other gamemodes, but not CTF.
