    I would suggest using different colors of clay to spice up the terrain. It looks a bit bland right now. Here's an example of what I mean.

    Yeah I agree with @Shawn_, it could use a bit more variety in block colors. Maybe also add some red sand and some cacti, so it looks more like a desert?

    Besides that, it looks pretty decent! It has my +0.5

    Ew, This is a mess in my opinion, The big hotdog bridge in the center is archer op, And the flag is in the corner of the flag room, Which would cause the stealer to get hit up against a wall instantly. Maybe fix some of those, And make the terrain a bit more stretched out, Other than that, Gameplay is pretty good.

    i already added more colors. And thanks!

    the "hotdog bridge" in the middle is a canyon. I'm not changing that it took me too long to make. And yes, it is a place for archers to shoot from, but i made some places on the ground so people could have defense from the archers. I will consider changing the placement of the flag. And I will consider stretching out the terrain. Besides that, thank you!

    lol this reminds me of @EddKrumbs 's map

    this map may be a little too tiny, would help if this map was enlarged by at least 25%

    there isn't much archer cover from what I can see which would be terrible for gameplay - try to add more trees/houses but make sure it's not excessive or else it'll become into soldier op things

    the terrain looks a little rough, patch up most of those holes, just make it smoother to walk on

    finally aesthetics - try to mix up your palette rather than just spruce wood and team colors for the buildings, eg log, clay, stones, etc. it would also help if you had some depth in it (dont do it if it impedes gameplay)

    also dont add glowstone on the floor of spawn, ninjas can paerl there and not get killed while carrying the flag

    overall, it's a good start and concept, but it needs a lot of work before being able to have smooth gameplay on the map ^^

    The map is privated so I'm unable to go look in game.

    From the images, the map looks pretty small, which might be alright for fast gameplay but if it's too small it can turn into a bloodbath.
    Needs archer cover.
    Would like some color variation, but that's more of a preference.
    It looks asymmetrical from the pictures. That could create a gameplay advantage for one team over another if it is asymmetrical.

    Added to the submissions, but this map will probably need some adjustments to get into testing.

    Thanks for the suggestions, this was posted a while ago and I am now looking back on it and making many changes throughout it, i have added more colors around the map, and also i know it looks fairly asymmetrical but i have checked back on it and made sure it isnt, i am adding more archer cover like, trees, cacti, and other sorts of hills. And the last thing is I am trying to figure out ways to make the map larger, but ive had a little trouble with that. I will try to get on a day and get some help from someone to make it bigger. Also I have now made the map public so you could take a look at it and see for yourself if I should make it larger.

    About the map being a bit small, I am going to try and make it bigger at some point but i have been having trouble trying to figure out how to do that in a way. I will get on one day and get some help from someone to make it bigger. The holes in the terrain were mainly there for the aesthetic, so instead of patching them up I added slabs on the edges to it is smooth walking over them. I have been working alot on mixing up the colors and i think it looks much better now. I moved the glowstone on the floors of the spawn to the roof, (I didnt know that it would let ninjas teleport in there and not get killed.) I also made it public now if you want to check it out and comment on a few other things.
