    Heheh, 13 updates;
    Two things to prevent ratters and base to base flying knights with kegs (in case you consider it to be a bs tactic): put get the bedrock closer to the surface at some areas and limit the tiles of gold. You usually put 5 or more golden tiles near the spawn, and at sight, getting 100 gold or more (2 teleporters or a siege shop)

    Gold: i added more at spawn cause #blamegeti. Im very impressionable with things i have no idea about :C.
    Bedrock:as i said no idea how to naturally work it around

    here is the best i got: Towered Terrain.png


    also when i asked for input i was more angling for whether my maps are bad or not :CCCC

    I just can't tell if good or bad, moreover some bad maps are really fun to play.

    Shit theres a lot of these.

    Overall: feels like you're working from old files a lot of the time, construct a new file each time to avoid "samey" feeling. Load your map between edits and fix anything that looks janky. You can jump into spec for an easier overview between loads.

    I like that even your gimmick map (the flooding one) is perfunctory and sensible and overall these are good enough maps on paper; get em hosted somewhere or host em yourself and start refining. Maps aren't a 1 step process :)

    Well, take that criticism and run with it - if people think they're "ratmaps" then take the usual anti-ratting technique of some bedrock "checkpoints" that ratters have to surface to get around. A lot of your maps do have a fair bit of dirt to rat in - something I don't mind much but others do.

    Having so many maps "in progress" at once makes it a bit hard to keep up with criticism fwiw. I'd keep it to like 3 in a pack, and maybe maintain a "meta-pack" that just aggregates them (either off-site or just as a separate resource).

    Presentation could also be improved; having to download the pack to see the files isn't a huge pain, but seeing them as imgur links would also be nice, with maybe some spectator previews of each area / an overview of the major features of each map. Have fun!

    The ratmap is towards the way mids are setup. I personally like them but players, mainly builders, can control the structure pretty easily for some people's taste. His criticism has nothing to do with tunneling(a rat isnt a just a tunneler you ignorant swine:QQ::rektlord::wink:).
