Simple just rate the new maps :)

Treacherous heights/7/10
Nice but takes way to long to start, way way way too many teir twos and boring landmarks


Rugged lands/2/10
Small and unfinished

MoonBase9/4/10
Little interesting landmarks with big open fields

LostMine/3/10
Kinda like solar frost made of stone and overpowered for the creatores. Very, very small

I'm not sure what to think of this. Putting down other maps isn't nice :/

Fortune Island: Very fun, looks pretty good, decent gameplay. Nothing too amazing about it, but it's certainly much better than Breeze.
6.5/10

Treacherous Heights: Extremely fun gameplay. I love knocking people off of mountains! And there's a two freaking fireworks dispensers on this map! A while back me and my friends were trying to build a map quite similar to this, but we scrapped the project, so this map kind of gives me a tiny test of what ours may have been like. Only thing I dislike is the corn. Ugly and annoying for fighting teams.
7.5/10

Rugged Lands: I guess it's okay, but it's not something I'm going to jump out of my chair over every time it's on the voting list. I found myself getting lost a lot. I do like corn though, with the crafting table up on the very top. Allows you to craft without too many worries.
5/10


Lost Mine: Have not played.
N/A

Moonbase9: I love this. Might seem a little flat, but I don't mind that. The structures looks amazing, really gives the feel of a base in outer space. I also love the sky. Haven't gotten a win on it yet though, too many teams. :c
8/10

Solar Frost 2: Have not played.
N/A


Castle Dracula: Have not played.
N/A

HellGames: Have not played.

About Lost Mine being overpowered for the creators, of course it is. Those who create a map know every single nook and cranny of the map. There are secrets on virtually every MCSG map that was created. Do you expect everyone to know of these secrets right away? Of course not. It takes time for people to discover the secrets and to take advantage of them. Us creators of the map will be the only ones who know of the secrets for a short period of time, and eventually, everyone else will know too. As for it being Solar Frost made of stone, no, just no. The entire map was created through TNT as well as natural caves. While it has the same principle of tunnels like Solar Frost, the theme is completely different.

TL;DR: Don't judge maps a day after they come out.

Solar Frost 2: This is very similar to Solar Frost, except the corn is different. I actually hate the corn. It is full of the gross 3/4 snow blocks, and makes it very hard to run away/ fight teams. Plus, it is hard to get the chests. I didn't notice anything else that was different than solar frost. (If I'm thinking of the right map lol)
5/10
HellGames: Not many structures, not many chests, too big, not very good terraforming. Honestly, it was a very stale game for the first game I played. However, I like the corn.
2/10

I'll rate the other ones once I play them :p

Solar frost 2. Meh, the corn is atrocious, I wish they just made it flat, and it would be my favorite map again.

Okay, I'll give it a go:

Fortune Island: 7.5/10 A long awaited map that has been accepted! It has some alright gameplay, but I do like the chest placement, maybe because my chest route is overpowered! :p

Rugged Lands: 6/10 Generally a much smaller than I thought it would be, but its an alright map, I would've liked it better if it wasn't this small, but I do like it.

Solar Frost 2: 4.5/10 I like the original much better in design to be honest, I honestly can't stand the corn on this map and I'm not a fan of most of the newer designs of the map; however, the lighting makes up for some of the cons that I have with this map. I apologize for the lower rating but I like the older Solar Frost better.

Lost Mine: 8/10 Either you love it or hate it and in this case, I love this map! The corn is not too big or too small, just the perfect size for a caved-in map. It's got some neat paths of chests and makes up for the new Solar Frost (again, I apologize)

Treacherous Heights: 9.5/10 I LOVE this map! It's my favorite of the new maps, amazing terrain and fun gameplay are the reasons why I love this map, although, I take away .5 points because of the cornucopia.

MoonBase9: 6.5/10 Okay map, very spread out, the storyline is pretty awesome, don't have much to say about this map as of now.

Hell Games: 7.5/10 Pretty cool map, reminds me of Sg1, but fun. The village and pirate ship are two of the awesome features of this map, great work Team Elite!

I just played Fortune Island a couple, and I must say, it took far too long. One of the games there was only 12 people and it went the whole way lol. The scenery was not as good as I expected, and the terraformation wasn't very good. But I think there was good chest placement, and good places to stage a battle in. So I have to give it a 5/10.
