Expia's Kingdom - A Survival Games Map

[inconceivable81]

So, I have been building this map a few blocks at a time, all by hand (except the Dome), and I have finally completed it. The main layout is a big like Solar Frost, with 8 interlinking caves.
The story behind this map:​

This was once an underground expedition with a group of friends thriving underground, looking for all sorts of minerals. Then, one day, came great famine, and they all started to die out. Friend turned on friend, and it ended up in everyone dying. Maybe months, maybe years later, the Goddess Expia came into the cave systems, and saw them fit for a battle between the best of the best in an event called survival games. She also hid about 100XP bottles around the map, and hid some of the remaining treasures from the dead miners, like 2 pairs of diamond boots and 2 diamond helmets, then she flew off, and covered the cave system in pumpkin lanterns.​

Builder: Inconceivable81​

Size: About the size of Solar Frost, but I don't know exactly due to it being cave systems.
Chests: About 150
XP Bottles: Around 100
Screenshots (Couldn't upload them due to file size, so here is an album)

I'm bit a fan, sorry. I see next to know detail. It might be a map for pvp, but it still has to look a little nice

i would say to make it good raise to roof to about 4 blocks, widen the tunnels and make sure every room and corridor is not a rectangle.
i like the idea though because i enjoy indoors maps like solar frost, and to make your map good id go on solar frost and look at how the tunnels/corridors are made.
id also suggest making a birds eye map/plan as a picture.
keep at it.

Looks rather basic in design and in the way the map is layed out.

Tips for Future:
Don't build massive square cubes or huge flat walls of one type of block, use a few blocks and don't just build flat, give it some variation which will give it depth and make it look better.

The Best SG maps don't necessarily need to look good but it does help, the most important thing is how the map flows and how the map feels to play. Create choke points, free flowing areas to run but also include areas which are enclosed but not too enclosed.

Underground maps or maps entirely within structures are the most difficult to create and to make good as it drastically limits the area players can go. Try an outdoor map with terrain

Necro is when you comment on a thread that has been inactive for over a month. In this case, this thread isn't yet to be inactive for a month so its not a necropost.
