[WingsNThings]

Since I have Now completed my first map ( http://www.mcgamer.net/threads/forgotten-civilization-a-map-for-24-players-wip.176176/ HYPE!!!) I started to work on my second map, my second map is set in a rural north African town in which many animals such as elephants,lions,rhino,zebra,and giraffe. This land was found by the capitol, and was researched on, and was found to be home to a bloody, yet relatively unknown battle in world war I (of which some vehicles & buildings still remain).The local tribes sold the land over to the capitol to be re-purposed for the next HUNGER GAMES!!!!!

As in bare? Because I think i might add some large rocks to fill up the blank spaces in between, I just fear that I'll end up adding too much stuff, and my map will be bad for pvp. Thanks for the feedback anyways, ill try my best to fix the map.

In a way.. I think adding some "not so steep" terraforming and structures around the map would help. Just adding some smooth terraforming on the flat area will help add detail A LOT, and it still keeps the map great for pvp.
Good luck with this project!

You're definitely going in the right direction! A few tips to improve this map and make it look better and more interesting

• If you do make vehicles, put them on roads but replace the usual road blocks with sand to make it fit more with the terrain.
• Add some abandoned structures, makes it a lot more interesting to play on.
• This map looks like it would be centered around Africa, Africa has lots of mountains and hills and so you want to make sure to incorporate that into your map!
• Your grass seems like it was from bonemeal, I wouldn't recommend putting grass first as it can get in the way of some structures, and later in the future, you might want to customize it.
• Maybe add some giraffes eating out of tall trees?
• I might like to see some poachers. Maybe add another truck/jeep but put animals in a cage on that vehicle.
• Also I would recommend to change some of the grass blocks and mix it with sand and regular dirt to make your map more flamboyant.

Sorry if this was long! I definitely see potential in it and this could 100% be added to MCSG if built correctly
