UPDATES!!!
​

Ok, so cadbane4321 and I understand that maps are supposed to be getting added around the beginning of June. Since we don't have much longer to wait until we know the fait of this map, we decided to work this previous weekend to attempt to edit/change the map based off of everyone's comments. I think everyone will be pleased with the changes.

This is an example of some of the smaller detail work we did. In this particular picture we added a cobblestone path to two wooden benches to create more of a "park" feel.

We felt that the backyard of the mansion was lacking as far as landscaping went. So, we added flowers, shrubs, and small trees to improve the design.

It was requested that we add other ways to get to the outside areas of the map other than their designated paths. The two ladders that can be seen on the walls are examples of the way we attempted to improve this.

The construction site, as stated by many of you, was too bland and unoriginal. So, we took it upon ourselves to detail it so it would look different and not as bland. We added a pattern around the bottom foundation, the cobble walls up the side beams as a sort of reinforcement, various brick piles to add to the construction feel, and you may be able to see in the back left of the build there are some wooden supports for the workers to stand on. The detail we added helped this build tremendously; I hope you guys think so too.

In a specific review we were told that the overhang on the bank was too bland, so we added a design in the retaining wall. Now it is one of the more detailed build.

These three screenshots above showcase the changes to the interior of the train station. In the first picture some benches were added in the middle of the walkway, the second picture shows various booths were people can purchase food, flowers, or magazines/newspapers, the third picture shows the altered ticket counters.


Other than all this we removed a lot of tier 2 chests. In total there are about 215 chests on the map. At first we had about 40% of the chests tier 2, now about 20% are tier 2. We added some block variation in the terraforming. We added enchantment tables (can't believe we forgot xD). We added more texture to roads. We removed some of the grass to help you fire spammers.

That is all. If there is anything you guys want changed we will take it into further consideration. Please let us know what you think of the changes.

xD, already had a route, now I need to re-download and make a new one. Just a question - Are all tier 2's that are no longer tier 2's changed to tier 1's? Or are some of the places where tier 2's used to be just empty now? Maps still lookin awesome though

No, there are still quite a few tier 2s. Your chest route should not be messed up that much. However we did change a lot of the random tier 2s in the random places to tier 1. Basically, all the tier 2 locations make sense now.

Holy Good, amazing map guys <33

Thanks! <3
