Builds [SKYWARS] London

[Deleted member 373055]

View attachment 161497 Map name: Tower Bridge

Creator of the map: Edwinus

This is London, the first map I've ever made for Cubecraft. The theme is city-like, just like the map 'Paris'. Instead of the Eiffel tower, I built the Tower Bridge at the center, surrounded by lanterns and islands with telephone boxes.

The Tower Bridge is a bit large, and it can encourage campers, but I hope it is easy enough to kill them as there are more ways to the highest floors. I can imagine players fighting on the bridge, upside or downstairs, I think it would be very cool.

This map is built for twelve players, solo Skywars. For every island, there is a lantern-island, which counts as a sub-mid island, where you can find one chest. Every players has access to three chests on his/her starter island and there is access to one chest on the sub-mid island. The islands are flat, but you can find a little cave on your starter island to prevent archers from shooting at you.

Regarding obstacles, on every starter island, there is a tree and a telephone box. On every sub-mid island, there is a small tree and lantern as decoration and obstacle.

Also, notice that the middle island is one block below the other islands, so it is easy to jump in, but difficult to come out.

Please tell me what can be improved and I will update it.

It looks very good. Would love to play this map.

I'm going to vote no, the reason being the islands are a little too small and could be difficult to PVP on, and there are way too many chests, but the main issue is the towers. You can easily camp on them and make the game go on forever. -1

If these are fixed or changed I'll consider changing my vote. It is a pretty map though. :)

Hello, thank you for you feedback. I will send you some images trying to explain that camping is not really possible, from mid, as you cannot shoot and you can easily go upside:

https://gyazo.com/8fdaf7d5301bd7bd8d500eaca63c10af

As you can see, from the middle island, you cannot shoot at people building to mid from the sub-mid islands, and there are a lot of ways to go upside. I am thinking of chaning the sub-mid islands, as pvp'ing is very difficult there I see... On the other hand, the mid is where everything should happen and there is a lot of room for pvp there. https://gyazo.com/c104e990a77bbfb9dcf4c518c5314bec

I will think of better solutions to stop campers, but I do think that a map should be unique as well and that every map should be different regarding tactics. Some maps that are different that others make it interesting I think. Thank you for the feedback. I will think about it.

Unfortunately, I can never change the towers, as I cannot think of another nice typical building from London which looks as good. I will change the amount of chests though. There are now twelve chests at mid.

EDIT: I did not really change the towers, but you cannot go inside now.

 

[YoungPablo]

Nice map, the main center looks pretty good, maybe just changing the sub-mid islands would make it look better and bigger, and the decorations goes perfect with it.

 

[xAutumn]

This map looks nostalgic to me, should be definitely added!

 

[RobinDn]

It would be a nice map to play on +1 from me! :P

 

[Tech1e]

I think the mid is way too big and really could encounter a LOT of campers. also it kinda reminds me of the Elven map on Hypixel

 

[elchuii]

also it kinda reminds me of the Elven map on Hypixel

But there are maps in cubecraft that are similar to hypixel skywars maps :l

yeah i get that but I do wish that some maps are completly original at 100%

 

[Miauw]

I like the idea and effort put into it, but I feel like the map has to be more PvP friendly before it should be added.

Also, the narrow stone bridge should maybe be made a bit wider, but I like how the safety railing somewhat prevents people from camping you on the towers.

One last suggestion: An alternative name for the map could be "Tower Bridge" as the map mainly seems to represent that in specific.

Nice idea, but I like the way Paris is made, and the map Paris is also called Paris, so I thought London was a great addition. You have Rome as well...

I do not think Tower Bridge is a nicer name as I really focussed on London style. The English flag and the telephone boxes encourage that. Edit: I am thinking to call it 'Tower Bridge', but I did not find a lot of people complaining.

Miauw thinks the bridges should be even wider, so I think I will keep the size of the center the way it is now. Also, you will not encounter campers. You should think playing the map. When you enter mid, there is a lot of room and people cannot camp. They can hide of course, but the towers are very big and you can go to the towers from both sides. The bridge also links the two towers, so you can easily attack campers. People can camp, but you can attack them very easily. There are a lot of ways to attack someone in mid. It is, however, not a standard centre as a round island, it has a unique shape to it.

I think the map indeed has to be more pvp-friendly. I am now making the starter islands just a hint bigger, and I will be looking at the bridges.

If there are any suggestions about the sub-centre islands, explain your suggestion and maybe I will change it as I am also trying to find something better, in case those are not good enough.

 

[Ediinsonn]

It really looks really good!! +1

 

[Nutuu]

I love it! BUT;
The starter islands have too less space to pvp, the submids have even less, and the middle has the least.
I don't think the gameplay would be really good in this map. I know what the mid buildings are and that is a great idea to build in minecraft but they just scream the "CAMP!" to me. People would camp with punch bows on the roof (unless it was blocked with barriers)
If you fix a few things I listed, I sure would like to play this map I guess.

I am going to make the starter islands just a tad bigger, and the submids are made as a step to go to the center of the map, as the sub-mids are built very closely to the middle and starter islands. On the middle, there is enough room for pvp.

I am happy to see that there is no critism yet on the buildings, so I think I can change things without ruining a lot of the building style.

Would it be enough if I say that I cannot do something against the campers? I want to do something against it, but adding barriers is not possible for skywars maps. Also, in London, there is not really a really characteristic building which is not high. I can build the London Eye but then in a way you cannot go in, but I think it would be too similar with the map Paris. I want to add a strategically point to the map, which is the center.

What I did against camping was trying to make the balconies that way you cannot shoot and the towers are too high to shoot with a punch bow I think. In addition to that, most players do not play overpowered and if overpowered will be voted, in which map can't you find campers honestly?

So I am not going to change the building yet, but I will do some things to make the map more pvp-friendly:
- Making the starter islands bigger
- Removing some barriers

considering 1.8 wild knockback, there isn't. The 1.5 block tall walls also are hard to get past if someone is chasing you.

 

[Deleted member 373055]

I can also decide to just make it impossible to go inside, like it is built on the map Paris. Do you think that is a good idea? @Nutuu That way, I can fill up the rooms with black wool.

On the sub mid islands, moved the lantern one block into the ground, so that the sub islands are completely flat and possible to pvp on. On the starter island, I moved the telephone box one block into the ground, and I made the circle one block bigger. I will send you a screenshot tomorrow, as it is very late now in The Netherlands.

I also removed the wall at the mid of the map on top of the bricky foundation. That way, you can go to that side. I will provide screenshots :-). Also, I can make the bricky thing a bit bigger so you can pvp on there more easily, and I added some chests to compensate for the missing top levels of the building as I will build it so that people cannot go there. I hope the map is still good enough regarding buildings... But we will see! I will see you tomorrow!

 

[Deleted member 373055]

Hello, @Nutuu and @_The13thDoctor_ . I changed the sub-mid islands, and I added new screenshots of sub-mid and mid. @Tinyboy03 // EasyNorth also told me that it would be a camper's map, if the mid would stay the way it is. So I really had to change that. The sub mids are bigger as the lanters are smaller now. And I removed the tree.

I filled up the towers with black wool. You cannot go inside now, and so, I hope, I will reduce campers. I also made the starter islands bigger, but I want your opinion on that first. Are they big enough now? I also want to change the bricky things at mid, are they big enough?

Here is a screenshot of how it would look like when changed:

Great map! You done very well, buddy! I would love to play on this map :)
