It's a cool idea, definitely original, but without any disrespect I think you're going about it the wrong way. So, it's going to be a large island in the middle, with corn, and then 12 fairly small islands surrounding it, with barrier blocks to get from island to island? It seems like a very small amount of space for detail and overall not a very good design. What I think would be much better would be one large island, with a mountain in the middle, where corn is. Then 12 sections around the map, each one dedicated to one of the gods. I know you're a good builder, so I'll keep an eye on it. Remember, this is just my early opinion judging the screenshots :)

I think all of the islands should be in a sort of cloud city type thing, where there are the separate islands, but they're more just sticking out of a massive cloud (or a bunch of clouds) rather than being connected. But I definitely think clouds makes more sense than bridges for the most part, but a combination of both could be good.

For Aphrodite you could have like an island with a waterfall floating off and like a mini-ocean with rocks, and have mermaids on them or something

For Athena, she's the god of Architecture or something so you could build a modern town square kind of thing

For Apollo, you could have his flaming chariots and the flames could be some parkour to get to a tier 2

If you could figure out how to control launch pads [sg7 on hive] it could be an idea but would leave the map kinda empty, map looks fine so far maybe larger islands idk, look forward to your progress
Yeah, the launch pads wouldn't really work :/

I'm probably not going to do the barrier blocks. Also I am planning on making the central island larger and maybe adding more things on it.

Kind of like this?:

Thanks for the suggestions :)
The Athena one wouldn't really work because she is also the goddess of wisdom, strategy, etc. A town doesn't really represent Athena too well.

And it seems kind of small, so there should be some other stuff around the map. I can't think of anything...maybe airships? Idk if that would be realistic but whatever :p

Are. You. Kidding. My friend and I were gonna start building a map that's pretty much EXACTLY the same. It was the most original idea we could think of, but our layout is much more different. Now I don't wanna build it at all ;-;

But that aside, it's a nice map. I like the overall theme (duh), and it it's nice that the parthenon is exactly how I would've built it. It's interesting that you decided to build the islands to represent the Olmpians. Overall, it looks nice so far, and I expect that the final product would be both aesthetically pleasing and easy to pvp on.

For suggestions, it'd great to somehow get into an Underworld part of the map. It'd give us a chance to explore practically a second map, and even though it would be a ton more work (pretty much 2 in 1) it could hold a ton of surprises. You could have the Elysium Fields, Tartarus, and Hades' castle. It'd be great! I just have no clue how you'd get there.

Overall, the map seems awesome so far, and if you keep it, it'll be amazing :)
