First map[Pack] 1.9

Some xenforo bug with resources?

 

I'll probably have to upgrade whole plugin at some point. That will have to wait. Till now try some workarounds.

 

Like I'm no expert, but I surely have bugged Skinney and Geti enough to get an insight on a few tips and tricks.

1. Put resources generally where you will find it. Create holes in the ground etc to give a lead to where they will be. Skinney is great at showing that in all of his maps.
2. When finished, load it up in sandbox and run through the map. You generally want to run through the whole map without being 'bumped' or 'stopped' by the edge of blocks. Unless your idea behind the map is large mountains which can be fine in certain situations.
3. General knowledge, but when making the map think of everything that will happen. "Whatever team takes this big ass mountain in the mid will most likely take over the game" -- In my mind, you always want to give a comeback feature in the terrain, not "win mid win game and spam siege2win".
4. Make it look nice! Spread grass out, don't spam trees for archer advantage and give plenty of resources but not too much so you're not caring about what resources you lose.
5. I can't remember correctly, but it's 20 gold per block. So make just enough for siege shop in each side of the map and the rest in the middle part of the map. Doing this allows teams to completely fuck eachother over if the monies are taken off the other team.
6. Don't make fucking water under flags, without bedrock. Actually no water near flags.
7. Don't make flags too close to the tents, barely impossible to obtain if it's too close.

If that's your map in the overview right now, it's looking nice honestly, I dislike the middle part being so high but that's my personal opinion. It's definitely better than what you came here with.
As I will say again I'm no expert, but from what I remember from doing it ages ago, there's some tips.

Maps could be more balanced if they had some bedrock near the ground or high levels. Imagine 30 minutes playing in one of these, the drilling would be notorious.
