Builds _Jdawg_ - Egg Wars Map: "Sky Fortress"

[_jdawg_]

I love the "Egg Wars" game mode and have decided to create a map for it. It is a medieval theme, hence the use of the word "Fortress".

Technical Stuff:

General:

1. There are 4 teams - Yellow, Green, Blue, and Red.
2. Each team will have 3 players

Player Island:

1. 1 iron gen (Lvl 1)
2. 1 gold gen (Lvl 1)
3. 1 diamond gen (Broken)
4. 1 villager

Center Island:

1. 4 iron gen (Lvl 2)
2. 4 gold gen (Lvl 2)
3. 2 diamond gen ( Lvl 2)
4. 1 Emerald gen (Lvl 1)

Design Stuff:

1. The player island is approximately 64 blocks away (excluding the horse statue).
2. I would recommend playing this map in a daylight environment without rain.
3. It is a fairly big map designed for multi level (depth oriented) gameplay.
4. I have added some design elements that will allow other teams to effectively sneak attack other islands.
5. This map is 1.11.2 friendly is good for the new 1.11.2 combat system.

It's clear you've spent a lot of hard work and time making this map, and it shows. Great job building all of this, it looks really good. I love the different blocks you have used to add detail as well as the statues, they are ace!

My main issue with this map however, is that the middle just looks a bit bland. I would figure out a way to add a bit more colour to the vast amount of grey stone blocks you have going on. And yes, I know its meant to be like that because it's a castle/fortress, but I still feel like it could use a splash more of colour just to make it a bit less dull. Maybe add purple banners here and there or add a few vines at the edges or something like that?

The map also has a similiar theme to the current Dwarvern and Kingdom maps, which isn't a disasterous thing because it looks great! But maybe the staff might not want to add another map with a similiar kind of theme is all. I hope it does get added though, it seems like it would be really fun to play on. I've never seen a map where there is a ladder leading straight up to the egg - that could lead to some awesome sneaky beaky egg crackin' moments :D

it looks very cool, especially the statues

my oppinion

• the islands are a bit to far from mid.
• the terra forming can be better
• I think it is a bit plane and It lacks a lot of detail in my oppinion
• I like the staues, but I think the islands them self are a bit plane...
• also the 'bridges' on the start islands looks so straight, mabey you can make it less straight to make it better!

but overall nice idea, but it needs more work to make it better;)
I hope you sees this as a tip :)

Great building, but
Remove the map download now are else the map won't get accepted.
Putting the map download in the thread is against Cubecraft rules.
The map is very well built there is enough detail and the terraforming is good, keep the good work up!

I love the "Egg Wars" game mode and have decided to create a map for it. It is a medieval theme, hence the use of the word "Fortress".

1. Add a Gold Gen at base if not there add it to the horse thing I think I saw
2. Nice map but add more pvp space upward like make it with slabs atleast 4 blocks in the air just so there are no difficultys
3. Add details maybe its getting vines, cobwebs or even cracked bricks
4. Add what special items are in the map
5. Make every single island in the entire map x2 biger you need PVP room or else Knockback enchants and hackers have a Feild Day :P
6. Lava make it feel good (behind glass)
7. Add more stuff underneith the castel like a doungen or a mine something cool
8. Team colors :P how about something like Magenta, Orange, Cyan, and Lime hehe
9. 4 players seems more better or 5
10. Center remove a iron gen and gold gen and make them lv 3 iron and lvl 2 while gold is lv.3 both a diamond gens should be both lv.3
11. All maps are in 1.8-1.11 so you cant say that if you did something that wont work in 1.8 make it back plz
12. SPACE OUT GENERATORS YOUR MAKEING CAMPING TO EZ
13. More Layers and better ground layout make it look like a REAL castel

Dont Give up!!! Hang In there!!!

Wow, amazing map, you are a good builder! Keep it up! ;)

removed the download link! Thanks for the warning.

 

[_jdawg_]

Thank you all for the support! I have seen your concerns and/or critiques for the map and will be sure to update the map!
Based off of the replies I gathered some major things to improve the overall design and flow of the map. These "things" that will be added to enhance the map will be

1. Bigger Islands (For better PvP)
2. More atmospheric details - better block design i.e. cob webs, cracked brick. (Maybe some dungeons)
3. More Color
4. Islands will be closer to Mid
5. Mid Generators will be adjusted and spread out

Thank you for the tips, as for the other concerns....

• I have not done anything that will prohibit the use of this map in 1.8.x it was just designed to be 1.11.x friendly (Some maps aren't very good for the new combat system)
• I will consider increasing the team size... I just think there is a lack of 3 player maps and personally those are my favorite

I will begin work on all of these things right away; Of course feel free to leave any more ideas on the forum comments section I will be glad to get a look at them.


P.S. I will message all of you when the next version of the build is out, please stay tuned.

I think having just 1 level 1 iron gen at the home base would be too little. I think either 1 level 3 iron gen or 2 level 1 iron gens would be better. Maybe you could put the gold gen in the basement and have the other iron gen on the side tower.

I like the look of it but its just way to basic but then again when it comes to map quality cubecraft dosent come anywhere close to my standards actually i still have yet to find a server that meets my map quality minimum :p
