Sorry, but I really dislike this. The main reason is the strange placement of structures. Just look at the "dragon". It is really crappy. And there is pyramids, lava seas and vulcanos 'everywhere'. And the walls made out of sand, why? I wont download this because of the above but is there even a dome?

Sorry o_O

Random structures add interest to the map. No one likes map such as sky land survival where there are hardly any structures. We put a lot of structures in to add interest and more availability of chests. There is no dome your correct, but there is nowhere to go out of the border. It is called paradise for a reason the main aspect is desert, but anything can be in paradise. I'm not sure if the survival games can add a dome, or if they care or not.

Random structures gives the map a feeling of unexperienced mapmakers. A map without dome wont get accepted. A bad map with dome wont get accepted either. And Skylands is 10x as good as this map to be honest o_O

I don't want to sound rude, and avoid telling any pros with this map, but I really don't like it.

Haha, woah, you need to learn to take constructive criticism gracefully. You can't say stuff like that, it makes you look like such an arrogant pleb. I agree completely with what Max is saying here, the map has no real structure, it seems very limp and random. I'm sorry to say this, but the dragon you made seems somewhat comical. Its facial expression makes me laugh. It reminds me of TeamVareides build night, where we build the most derpiest thing possible. This would be in it.
Another thing I find rather comical, is just by looking at the pictures, I can find a route out of your map... Thats really unacceptable, sorry. Its simple to make a dome, if you have access to WE (World Edit) Simply stand at the centre circle, and type //hsphere glass (insert radius)
I'm no WE God, but thats how I believe you do it. My last gripe, is that the biome changes seem strangely unnatural. When building a desert map, if you want to include grass and trees, please make them as oasis'. They look so much better. I'm sorry if this seems harsh to you, but it's called constructve criticism. Learn to accept it.
Skylands is not a bad map at all, and it is executed better than this, I can tell you that. And I know my fair share about SG Maps:).

I'm sorry, i dont like it, there are a few spots i like but overall its not very good :/
I don't see an over-all theme, its too small, you can glitch out of it, and a long list of other things.
Like i said, the village and the forrest look alright and i see some potential in your work.
Better luck next time...

Yeah I have world edit but the map isn't a perfect circle, and i'll have to figure something out. An sorry about insulting skylands I just really hate that map.
