The pillars of map making. by FuzzyFroggyFC
Hey y'all :D
You may know me, I made the few maps, but that doesn't matter.
I noticed a few things, and I'm sure KooDaLord will back me up on these things.
A good map is made up of 2 main pillars.
The build (designs, builds, etc.)
The opportunities (multi-able ways that makes it possible to do something)
Take amazon. A great map made by 1Theodore1. You have may other ways to get to the enemies base and attack, you can run on the paths or go through the jungle, now picture amazon, with walls around the path, so you had to cross in 1 path, wouldn't that be boring.
Exactly, so next time when your creating a map, remember about opportunities!
Thanks,

Is mine fine?
Of course, I took Amazon as an example, because It was the first map that pop-ed up in my mind. It was an example :)
Okay ;)

I did a similar guide.
I agree, thats why I try to make every single map I make natural - looking. Cause natural maps actually have LOADS of opportunities!
