Map In Progress- Good idea or not?

So I've started making a map (which I haven't yet made a name for) and so far I've kind of just done the cornucopia and it's surroundings. I've done a hunger games inspired cornucopia, but everything else will be different. Here's a snapshot of my work so far and a rough map of what i'm going to do.

(By the way, there's also a back entrance of the cornucopia, so it's not too unfair, haha)

So basically the cornucopia is surrounded by giant hills, which when you climb them (with stairs) you are greeted by water, literally just water...

So basically what I'm thinking is that when you get over the hills, there's water and i'll probably put some boats to make it easier, but when you reach the edge of the water there's a massive waterfall drop, and at the bottom you have the whole arena. I dunno if that makes sense, so here's a pic of it from a different angle



Anyway let me know what you guys think and whether I should pursue further :)

Looks ok, you should put a lot of buildings and terraforming outside corn. and the corn is actually the same shape has a real one, good idea, but the people that start in the back of the corn have a BIG disadvantage. You should probably fix that

Cheers for the feedback! I'm gonna be doing lots of buildings, traps, parkour and more stuff outside of corn, this is only just the start ;) And as for the back people having a disadvantage- I've also put a back entrance just for them :~)

What about the people that start on the sides of the cornucopia? They have to run around the structure, whereas the ones spawning in front and behind it just run forwards. I'm fairly certain that the chests have to be in a circular shape, with the podiums each equal lengths away from them.

Another issue I have is that it seems very difficult to escape corn; I can only see a few exits. This makes it too easy for someone to grab a stone sword from corn and kill multiple people within minutes of live game. I don't think people like dying off spawn repeatedly.

Other than that it looks good! Keep up the work!

Thank's for the feedback :)
I've taken your advice into consideration and have decided to change my cornucopia into the simple circle shaped structure. Also, i'll be adding probably around 5 sets of staircases and multiple ladders/vines to escape from corn!

Since the corn/chests is in a structure, it give some tributes an unfair disadvantage because theres a wall in there way and have to go around it
