    Here's my feedback.

    There are a lot of flaws in this map, but I'll only cover the major ones.

    1. Being being symmetrical is of utmost importance in creating a map. Your castles are symmetrical, but the buildings in between the castles, however, are not. I suggest working on one side first, then copy, rotate, and paste the other side using World Edit.

    2. There is a lot of empty and flat space. Just like avoiding empty space when drawing, you should avoid large, flat spaces with nothing. I would consider adding more buildings to these empty areas. However, do not put in so many buildings that it restricts most classes to narrow corridors. Try and balance out the number of buildings.

    3. Castle walls have very few entrances/exits. Sponges are usually supposed to be added for getting to places for easily hence it allows for a faster-paced game. Relying on sponges as your sole entrances/exits is not a good idea. If servers get laggy, the sponges, for some reason, become wacky and take you to a shorter or higher distance. I suggest adding side entrances to the castle walls and opening the front entrance. Ninjas are allowed to enderpearl glitch through iron bars anyways, so it gives an unfair advantage to ninjas.

    4. There are no spawn rooms. This means that teams have no way of entering the map. I suggest putting the spawn rooms inside the walls of the castles, but not near the flag room.

    5. The terraforming is poorly done. I suggest referring to World Edit tutorials on terraforming.

    And those are just the major flaws. There are many minor flaws that should be addressed on this map, but I could go on all day about them. I suggest major improvement on this map. I hope this feedback helps! :smile:
