After receiving your tweet GibbyMC I have come back once again to take a look at your map.

To clarify my feedback as to why I voted "no," I have revisited screenshots and taken a look at the trailer-

However, to start off here is a list of things that I really love about the map: [when I refer to pictures, I am referring to the order on the imgur link w/ default images]
  • The buildings in the third, fourth, and fifth pictures are all built to a very unique style and developed nicely. It is clear you have immense building skill~ if details such as this shined through the entire map I think I may fall in love.
  • The marketplace in the fourth image is nicely designed and has a nice ratio of blocks to PvP area.
  • There is much available space for fighting and what would appear to be good gameplay.
Things that could be improved [in my opinion]:
  • Terraforming- the land is mostly flat (don't get me wrong here, a little flat space can go a long way) I understand that this map is meant to be in a valley but flatness of land can become very bland. The majority of the map appears to be mostly flat land with some trees on it. Adding some hills- waterfalls or any type of moving water can really work wonders.
  • Map Exterior- alongside the edges of the map, the mountains move nearly directly upwards and they are practically the same all the way around. Adding some variety such as height variation- more block variation- tree variation- or simply not having incredibly steep mountains all the way around would step things up to a whole new level.
  • Some parts of the map are really beautiful (aka the marketplace type place and the buildings) and I wish the entire map was developed to the level.
  • The map seems to echo Dracarys and Chernobyl- the idea you have is original enough to where if you developed it a little more and had no flat/empty spaces on the map- it would fit perfectly.
I hope that this was a little helpful in the least~ I did not mean to hurt any feelings as I know alot of these things are opinionated.
- Thanks for taking the time to read-

Wow. A little helpful? This is amazing, thanks so much! :D

Firstly I do understand what you mean about the terraforming, when I built this I honestly hadn't done very much and it was a bit of a new experience to me. I also understand what you mean about the slightly random large ring around the outside, but my focus when building it was not as much on what's outside but actually on what's inside the dome. However, now as I look back on the map, I agree with you that it just doesn't suit. But as I just said, it's probably more about what's inside and going to be affecting the game play than the outside decoration.

Thanks so much for the positives as well, I feel that when someone just votes people can take it the wrong way, and it means so much that you took your time to come back and fully explain. You haven't hurt any feelings at all, in fact you've just made me feel a whole lot better :D

Haha thanks Rev :D
