Added new town map please comment =)

No offense... very poor.

However, my maps looked like that also, heck i been doing it over a year lol.

First map:
Neat little town... poor outskirts (no cliffs, no variation in tiles.. (dirt -> Grass -> Darker grass) 6/10 for town 4/10 for whole map.

Second map:
You got the idea.. but again tiles etc dont match.. the bases of those cliffs dont go onto snow, they go onto some spikey stuff, but i do what youve done and chuck snow there . Anywho again, the cliff/wall around the edge isnt solid, and it looks tacky (left hand side) You need one solid wall.. not a jumpy wall. Also, at the bottom you will be able to see black edges where there is no map. 5/10

Third map:
Same as 2nd... however this time your tile mis match.. DOESN'T work, it looks ugly, to improve use the proper tiles.. and make the walls complete solid walls (one circle.. not a circle with 50 chunks missing) and with a suitable distance from the edge of map so people cant see black bits , 3/10 (purley as tiles mistmatch make it ugly)

Fourth & Fifth map:
Now here, i see you got some very nice skills by hiding the edge of the first inner wall... sadly those walls are too big for you to hide mistakes well.. without cutting the wall into the cliff, but very good try, you let yourself down on the 2nd wall, which runs into the building. Then again with cliff/walls around outisde of map move them closer in (bottom, and right) The left handside of cliff is exactly want you want... but still a tad further away from the wall, also add alot more objects in the desert place, its bone dry!! nothing, diddly squat... 3/10


Overall Imrpovement suggestions:
Learn how to use Atirbutes if you dont (many people dont...)
Stick with orignal objects and tiles ment for caves.. dont try chop and change tiles yet.
Add more objects.. trees, plants, detailed tiles, smalltiles (you cant undo these tiles.. so be careful), bones, stones... anything just ot liven it up.


Overall map skill 3-4 / 10.

You can only improve, map making is hard and you need patients, i gave up trying as it would of cost me a fortune in PC`s.

Nice to see someone trying though.

Third is good, rest are aweful.

Keep tiles matching, make sure walls join, play with attributes, SAVE REGULARY.
