Gold Contest Map Rating

I've decided that the creativity portion of the map contest should be judged my the community! Hop on Contrary's Gold Contest RDM to try the maps, then come back here and give each of them a rating out of 10.

What you will be judging the maps on is not how fun it is or nice it looks, but how much useful innovation it brings to map making. Look for unique structures or shapes you think work well, new applications of tiles to create an interesting visual effect, and any really out of the box creativity you see.

Your ratings must be given in the order the maps are posted here in the following format (replace x with score):

You can do whatever you like below that, but please have your ratings in this format at the top of your post as to make it easy for me to tabulate scores. Double check your scores before posting.

You may enter even if you have a map in the pool and if you rate any map you must rate them all. If anyone abuses this by giving their own map 10 and all the rest 1 or something crazy like that I will deduct points or disqualify maps as the situation requires.

Do not give any indication to whom each map belongs to. Don't worry if you've already told someone, but don't tell any more.

If you would like to edit the title, screenshot, or description of your map, pm me.

Spoiler: Screenshots and Descriptions

Mountain Ruins



A battleground made up from a hollowed mountain and a few forsaken temples, only one still intact is seperated from the land. This map has many pathways, ranging from under the ground to in the skies, and many battle points, in dark temples or scattered islands.

Evergreen



This is my first map that I actually finished so don't expect much. The big blocks of stone in the air can be dropped on enemy players, they're quite effective since the map has almost no flat areas. The stone rolls quite far. The rest is pretty self explanatory.

No Name #1



When you spawn, the rubble is meant to break, causing the 'dragon' to collapse (As shown) and forcing you to clamber to the island. The outposts are there as some may choose to change classes when they reach the top. MAP IS NOT ON THE SERVER AS IT CRASHES THE GAME.

Cracked Hills



No description.

Flooded Castle



In the days of the invasion by the living dead, the blue empire built enormous pillars to create terrain above their castle and then flooded the land to contain the zombie menace. A hundred years after, the city built on top of the Flooded Castle is in the middle of a civil war between those who won't dare going to the deeps of the Flooded Castle and those who say that the zombie menace was just a hoax.

Choose your side in this fight and eliminate your enemy to take control of the city!

City Life



No description.

Petropolis



No description.

Royal Diamonds



The map isn't symmetrical, but each side is about the same. The area in the middle top has one-way squeezes as a way to prevent camping on the top. It looks like you can hang from the "trees" along the top but you can't reach them as an archer. Also if you haven't guessed, the name stems from the center part looking like a crown. I made the map closed in so bombs wouldn't be too overpowering.

The Old Gold Mine



Supposed to be an old abandoned gold mine (as you can see by all the gold). There is leftover wood holding the top of the mine and leftover shafts. Blue starts in the mine, while Red starts on the side of the mountain. The most direct route involves going straight to the mine, however you do have the option of going up and over the top.

Shattered Islands



Not too much to say about it, kinda inspired by your Dream Catcher and NWN logo but mostly just freestyle. Appearance was important.

AT AT MAP



its a map that looks like an AT AT from star wars
random idea came into my head to make it look like one
one team is near the butt end the other is in the head
you can go to its feet or on top of it

Avalon



Here's the map I like to submit for the contest. I've tried to contribute for RDM maps features as much as I understood it's specifics. Hope you'll find the time to check it out.

Tree Trunk Bridge (No Name #2)



Tree trunk bridge is meant to be played on a full version premium server, the pond in the middle should be filled of water, the funny looking diagonal part at the bridge is meant to be like that, the purpose of it is to make it possible to collapse the bridge, limiting the ability to cross, maybe not for knights but so archers may need to go for a dip.

This map could be played without water, possibly making a brand new path, that may be lethal.

No Name #3



It's inspired by King Arthur's Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch.

X Cave



I got the idea from a place I visited not too long ago. It is a natural cave found in KY that was carved out by ground water. In the center of the cave it makes and "X" shape. Not much to say about it, there is a outpost at the top of the mountain and the cave creates a passage, connecting the spawn tents.

Awsome



o description forgot umm it has many paths and hiding spots for underpowered archer(as of now) underground has 2 paths and holes for archers but they must watch out because knights can sneak up on them and kill them flat bottom tunnel; for knight fights in dark top has the same thing for archers but to help on the different levels on the main ground archers are the unsung hero of this map but need to be crafty to and watch out for knights also knights can drop from the sky to help a team make getting gang beaten
